I have seen it and I recommend it. The story actually emphasizes the sports aspect of it for the most part. The fanservice is also much more toned-down compared to Free. The character development follows the same formula as seen in a typical shounen series and there is a fair amount of it. The only criticism that I've for this show is the sports aspect of it which is highly exaggerated at times from how the sports is actually played. Even then I found the show entertaining enough to sit through the whole series.

Those lovely folks are probably also responsible for driving Free's BD/DVD sales.

Watch a couple of episodes and then tell us about it.

For me, it was enjoyable.

If tumblr is anything to go by then yeah. It's like Free! SnK and Dangan Ronpa were the only anime that mattered this summer.

Hm, interested in this series, but my friends are taunting me about it .. so I can't tell whether they're serious or not about it being good.

Right now it is boiling down to "It's kyoani, so you must" ..

and K. Especially anything with motherfucking Fushimi and the Skater Douche...

I did watch Kuroko's Basketball...at least episode one. It was okay though I like how the MC is just *____* the whole time

Kind of like how Haru was in the beginning.

Saw this on twitter. I think it's just fanart but it's cute

I hope there is less angst in the 2nd season and more Kou.

That's weird.

^^ CR has a few titles like Free! where they have the home distribution license as well as the streaming license because the two licenses were a package deal. CR has zero interest in getting into the home distribution market. So they found a partner (Discotek) who would take over the home distribution part of the license for these titles. (Like a subcontract, I suppose.) That way the titles won't forever be streaming only. From what I've heard, there aren't many titles where CR has the home license as well as the stream license, so I'm not expecting to hear this happening very often.
