Buzzer Beater Ep. 1-2

March 3, 2005 @ 1:40 am

Let’s see how long I will last in watching Buzzer Beater. I’m not a basketball fan, but my brother told me some nice things about this anime. He got to watch an episode in WOWOW. This is the second sports anime I’ve seen. PoT being the first. ^^;
Episode 1






Tono and his friends are very poor. They make a living by playing against other basketball players. Tono’s friends praise him, so he shows off some dribbling moves. As he was about to shoot, he sees a girl in a window watching him. He hits his head on the ring, falls, then angrily searches for the girl. A red-head girl with red eyes. *lol* There’s also an appearance of another basketball player who resembles Tachibana Kippei (PoT). It’s the hair. >_>

How many members does one basketball team make? (I’m obviously ignorant when it comes to basketball. Would you believe I became the captain ball back in hs w/o knowing anything? *rofl*) I’m worried there would be a lot of characters like in PoT. @__@ I like the opening song’s intro. The song itself is also likeable. Ska-ish. Ska-ish because there are horns playing, but it’s not really ska. Know what I mean? Gyuma’s interesting. He looks like Michael Jordan with horns. You would think they were making fun of Chicago Bulls. ^^v


Episode 2




Tono lost to a female coach. Just like most male kids, their pride gets easily hurt. So he decides not to go with her and play and learn serious basketball. After a few days, he found out from his friends that Gyuma used to be like them. But Gyuma is now a famous and very good basketball player in the Intergalatic League. He finally makes a decision and goes to visit the coach with the owner of the earth’s basketball team.

They should explain how they got to find out about the “Hideyoshi-sama.” He does have a good reputation on basketball, but that’s just around their neighborhood. The red-head girl, Cha-Che, wasn’t very much impressed with his skills. This episode is still so-so. I hope it will get enjoyable soon. If this turns out to be like Dear Boys with only the aliens, then I won’t continue watching. Dear Boys bored me. ~_~

Glad to have stumbled upon this page!!!XD Ili-link kita ha.

I think Takehiko Inoue was a big fan of Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.. kaya lagi na lang may reference sa kanila ang kanyang basketball anime.^^
