The fans of the popular anime Kuroko’s Basketball will surely rejoice as the hit anime series is slated for the big screen. In the evening session of the KuroBas Cup 2015 event last Sunday, the announcement for the theatrical film for Kuroko’s Basketball(Kuroko no Basuke) has been made. Many fans has been surprised and literally glad after the announcement.

Kuroko’s Basketball is considered as the modern day counterpart of the very popular sports-theme anime Slam Dunk. Both anime revolved around playing Basketball though there are many plot differences. Kuroko’s Basketball manga series was created by Tadatoshi Fujimaki and he launched the series in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump last 2008.

The basketball team of Teikō Middle School rose to distinction by demolishing all competition. The regulars of the team became known as the “Generation of Miracles”. After graduating from middle school, these five stars went to different high schools with top basketball teams. However, a fact few know is that there was another player in the “Generation of Miracles”: a phantom sixth man. This mysterious player is now a freshman at Seirin High, a new school with a powerful, if little-known, team. Now, Kuroko Tetsuya- the sixth member of the “Generation of Miracles”, and Kagami Taiga- a naturally talented player who spent most of middle school in the US, aim to bring Seirin to the top of Japan and begin taking on Kuroko’s former teammates one by one. The series chronicles Seirin’s rise to become Japan’s number one high school team. The rest of the Generation of Miracles include Kise Ryota, Aomine Daiki, Murasakibara Atsushi, Akashi Seijuro and Midorima Shintaro.

The manga series inspired an anime adaptation that runs into three seasons due to its popularity and widespread demand.
