An epic and comic combination of sports, humor and one messed up love circle. As you can tell by the name this anime's mainly about basketball. It's one of the first few anime i have seen and will never waste your time,in fact you will always want to watch more. If this anime fails to make you laugh your gut's out at least one every episode then your not human!
The story line is about this guy 'Hanamichi' who is an extremely tall, strong but thin and goofy person with orange hair- i know, imagine meeting a person fitting this description in reality right? he's an ordinary high school student who is pathetic at studies. He takes a liking to this girl 'Haruko' who is the younger sister of the school basketball teams captain 'Takinori'. In the midst of trying to impress her he challenges her brother to a one on one basketball match. Being an armature at playing basketball he makes a fool of himself- but while getting a hang of the game somehow manages to get the upper hand agents Takinori once - might i add, after breaking several basketball rules. Everybody see's talent in him and later he decides to join the team and get better. But he's over-over confidant and extremely thick. He gets into disputes with fellow team mates and even spoils games but as time passes he gets better and better. The story is also mainly about his team mates and each of their dreams to win the championships. The animators have done an amazing job merging spots and comic scenes. But in the end Hanamichi's unpredictable actions leave us clueless about what can happen next.......
Drawbacks of this anime are...... well, some episodes may stretch on useless things, sometimes basketball matches may get a bit unreal, but otherwise the animators have covered everything.
I give this anime a 8/10, not too much not too less.

first of all. Its not 'Maki' its something else. Maki is the team captain of kainan. Second. The other drawback is very less number of episodes.
