Kuroko's basket ball, (made in April 7 2012) is about basket ball. It's about this boy named Kuroko Tetsuya, a boy who gets forgotten easily and Kagami Taiga, a boy who lived in America until his 2nd year of middle school. Kagami enters the Seirin basket ball club as a first year and so doe s Kuroko, even though nobody remembers him applying.Then one day Kagami and Kuroko have a one on one game but Kagami learns that Kuroko is actually terrible at shooting and dribbling, but excellent at passing. Kuroko becomes Kagami's 'shadow' and promises that he will help Kagami beat the generation of miracles and become the best in Japan.

 Kuroko Tetsuya - The phantom sixth man of 'the generation of miracles' . His abilities include: Emperor eye, the 'vanishing drive', a few passing techniques and shooting.

 Kagami Taigi - The guy who lived in America until his second year of middle school, his abilities include: Jumping, a few shooting techniques and zone.

 Aomine Daiki - One of the members of the generation of miracles. His special abilities include: Speed and agility, street basketball, animal instinct and zone.

 Midorima shintaro - also one of the members of the generation of miracles. He is obsessed with horoscopes and is always carrying a lucky item. His ability is shooting with accuracy, meaning that he can shoot from the farthest end of the court and still make the net.

 Kise Ryouta - Another member of the generation of miracles, a part time model, and has a lot of fans. He has emperor eye, zone and perfect copy. Which means he can copy any opponents movements perfectly.

 Murasakibara Atsushi. Also a member of the generation of miracles, he is tall and very stupid. But when it comes to basketball he doesn't like to lose. His abilities are incredible defence, Thor's hammer and zone.

 Akashi Seijuro - former captain of the generation of miracles, his abilities are, intelligence, perfect Rhythmed play and ankle breaking


One of kuroko's throws. The cyclone pass


This sports anime, like most anime is 20 minutes long. There are the basic locations, becuase the episodes are only 20 minutes. The usual places are Seirin high school, the park and the competition court. Seirin's team consists of Kuroko, who is straight foward and barley ever talks, Kagami, impatient and has a temper but is still kind, Hyuga, the captain and puts people in their place, and their coach Aida Riko, who is a girl but her father was a personal trainer and a basketball player making her excellent at strategies and looking at peoples physical abilities by just looking at them. They eenter several games with a few tricks up their sleeves, especially in the winter cup where they learn how to add on new abilities with what they have. For example Kuroko's vanishing drive and phantom shoot.





I think that this anime is based around teenagers, mostly for boys. It is full of action and comedy making it a more suitable audience towards boys, even though lots of girls watch it. It is very funny because of the facial expressions and actions they make and the little jokes spread around the anime. Even though it isn't like Attack on Titan or, Tokyo Ghoul but it still brings you to the edge of your seat, as Seirin plays competitively against other schools that are stronger than they are, as their school basket ball was only made a year before Kuroko and Kagami became students of the high school. I personally got really frustrated when a member of the opposing team wasn't playing fairly and started to shout in frustration, but I still kept watching because I found it really interesting even though the whole anime is about basketball, which I know nothing about.

Modern Family

                                         

Modern family (23 September 2009 - ongoing) revolves around three families, The Dunphy's, the Delgado - Pritchetts and the Pritchett - Tuckers. The series is about the problems they face, mostly about family and job problems. Season 7 was released on September 23 2015.


 - The Dunphy Family.

 - The delgado-pritchetts

 - The Tucker-Pritchetts


Modern family is a sitcom meaning that there are stock characters. In the dunphy family the goofy dad is Phil, the bossy mum is Claire, the irresponsible child is Hayley (the eldest), the responsible child is Alex (the middle child) and the sllightly out of it child. This series is mostly about the Dunphy's and their roblems mixed in with the Tucker-Pritchetts and the Delgado-Pritchetts' problems mixed in as well. Their problems are relatable in a way, as the problems are mostly realistic, like child problems, work problems, family problems and friend problems. The general settings are the three families houses, the school and occasionally the mall, making it easier to know where the characters are in that moment. The show is around 20 minutes which doesn''t take up a lot of time but is enough to tell a whole story.



I think modern family is great for families, because it is really funny and you can relate to the problems. Even though some of the content can be a tad bit inappropriate itis still somethinga family would watch together and laugh about. The positive thing about this sitcom is that it is modern and the families aqll have 'modern problems'. Like Hayley. she seems to always be on her phone texting, calling and on social media, and Claire always seems to have a problem with that. Most mums can relate to their child being on their phone so this is a good laugh.

Angel Beats!

                                                              Angel Beats! opening

Angel beats! was started on November 2009 and ended on May 2010 created by Jun Maeda and the anime created by Seiji Kishi. Angel beats! Takes place at a high school acting as a limbo for those who have died, where students learn to give up any lingering attachments before passing on. You cannot die, but the pain of what 'killed' you will still stay there for certain amount of time. Yuzuru Otonashi wakes up in the after life having no memories of his past. He meets Yuri, Masami, Hideki, Takamatsu, Fujimaki, Oyama and Yui (Even though she comes later in the series). Their main goal was to defeat Tenshi or Angel, because all of their unfair lives. , and trouble they had caused when they were alive. Yuzuru soon regains his memories, fulfills his wish which is for his friends to be happy and fades away.


 Tenshi - Also known as Kanade

 Yuzuru Otonashi - Was a medical student when he was alive. Final appearance episode 13

 Yuri Nakamura - Leader of the group that aims to kill Tenshi. The eldest sister of four when she was alive. Final appearance episode 13.

 Masami Iwasawa - The lead sing for GirlDeMo, was the daughter of two abusive parents. Last appearance

 Hideki Hinata - Played baseball when he was alive. Last appearance was in episode 13

 Yui - Second lead singer of GirlDeMo her wish was to get married. Paralyzed when she was alive. Her final appearance was in episode 10.

 T.K. - even though no one knows about his past and only speaks random bits of English. His final appearance was in episode 12.

 Takamatsu - No one knows about his past, but in episode 11 his soul gets eaten by a shadow and turns into an NPC (Non Player Character) and has to attend school for the rest of his life.



The thing about this show is that it is so sweet and sad at the same time. They show that all of the characters had a really sad past and are trying to overcome the past and accomplish what they have always wanted to do. For example Yui was paralyzed and could never go outside so she wanted to move around like a normal person would. she would watch things on TV, and accomplished all those things that she wanted to do except marriage. when Hideki says that she would truly marry her she dissapeared because she had accomplished her goal which was to fall in love. Another example was when Yui never got to know Kaname and her wish was to be friends with kaname.
