Summary:
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 Generation of Miracles". However there was another player whom they all respected: A phantom 6th player, none other than the plain Kuroko Tetsuya. When an up-coming power player, Kagami Taiga returns from America, he meets Kuroko at Seirin High, and vows to defeat the rest of the Generation of Miracles. A battle of light and shadow begin!

This is a really good watch. Animation is fluid and the basketball is fun. The first thing it reminded me of is Knight in the Area with the whole disappearing thing. The only thing lacking is a little fanservice for the heterosexual male, but in a way this balances out the offerings from other anime. Kise has to be my favourite character here, though all the characters who aren't current antagonists are likeable in their own ways.
