While issues continue to plague Japanese fans when it comes to events due to various threats being made towards the creative side of the series, Kuroko’s Basketball marches on and the second season of the popular basketball series is ever closer to its October launch. With sports series rarely being picked up for home video, streaming is where it’s at and Crunchyroll still has the first season of twenty-five episodes up, which gives hope they’ll be streaming the new season as well. In advance of the new season, the official series Japanese site let loose with a new nearly minute long teaser for it which includes a good bit of music to get fans jazzed for it.
Plot concept: Kuroko’s Basketball The Teiko Middle School Basketball Team. The class that produced three perfect seasons in a row, with five once-in-a generation players, called “The miracle generation”. There was another player who all of them respected… A legendary 6th player. An up-and-coming power player, Taiga Kagami, is just back from America. When he comes to Seirin High School, he meets the super-ordinary boy, Tetsuya Kuroko. Kagami is shocked to find that Kuroko isn’t good at basketball, in fact, he’s bad! And he’s so plain that he’s impossible to see. But Kuroko’s plainness lets him pass the ball around without the other team noticing him, and he’s none other than the sixth member of the Miracle Generation. Kuroko makes a pact with Kagami to defeat the other members of the Miracle Generation, who have all played basketball at other schools. A battle of light (Kagami) and shadow (Kuroko) begins!
