"A routine I've never seen before."
To make the electricity-generating website (Bilibili) do something so unconventional, it would be hard not to attract Pan-Guegue's attention.
Live broadcasting first, then allowing normal playback only after it finishes—this is completely unique.
Even Pan, who has watched countless bad anime and has maxed out his poison resistance, couldn't help but say, "So flashy!"
"Then let me take a look at this *Kuroko's Basketball Prequel: Generation of Miracles*. Hmm, the name is long, should have something to it."
"I seem to have missed it when doing the new anime preview; I have no impression of it at all right now."
The story begins around **Kuroko**.
'Eh, blue hair!'
'Seems like a kuudere, cute!'
'Upstairs, restrain yourself; I can smell you even from the toilet!'
'Is this the protagonist? For a basketball anime, isn't this height a bit too short?'
'Is it that classic shonen trope of a useless protagonist succeeding through hard work?'
Kuroko's appearance didn't cause too much of a sensation.
Hanging out on Bilibili for a long time, having seen all kinds of animation, everyone is no longer that young boy from the past.
They can even analyze the general direction of the plot based on a few clues.
Sure enough, the story quickly narrated the reason why Kuroko fell in love with basketball.
"Doesn't seem like there are any surprises."
This kind of opening isn't just cliché; in Pan-Guegue's long career as an uploader, he has really seen too many similar plots.
"So the following plot is probably the protagonist leading the team to dominate the country through hard work?"
He soon found himself slapped in the face.
When Kuroko walked into **Teiko**, walking through the campus where recruitment was happening everywhere, weird things happened one after another.
His existence was like a ghost, unnoticed by anyone, as if cut off from the world.
Even in front of the upperclassmen in charge of recruiting new members for the basketball club, the other party seemed not to see him.
"Presence?" Pan-Guegue's expression began to change, his mouth muttering, "Heaven-defying, a bit heaven-defying."
Taking advantage of this matter, the narration inserted again, introducing Kuroko's extremely heaven-defying lack of presence.
From birth, except for his parents, even his close friends found it difficult to detect his existence.
At this point, imitating Bucciarati from *JOJO Part 5*, he sucked in a breath of air from the void.
"The smell of something wrong!"
"Brothers, believe me, this anime is not right. It is definitely not the traditional sports anime I am familiar with, at least not a classic hot-blooded anime like *Slam Dunk*."
'Nonsense, of course it's not right. Who has such low presence!'
'Invisible man playing basketball?'
'Will there be a plot where the protagonist dribbles all the way to the basket and the defenders don't react at all?'
'Then because the referee didn't notice, the points don't count?'
'233333!'
'Why is it suddenly a bit funny?'
Netizens quickly imagined some strange scenes.
Including Pan-Guegue, after seeing the bullet comments, a bizarre scene also appeared in his mind.
Kuroko leisurely dribbling across half court, unobstructed all the way, encountering no defense, easily killing his way to the basket to score, and then the referee didn't notice, so the score was invalid.
"It can't be that heaven-defying."
"If such a scene really appears, I'll give this anime a 10 directly!"
Rotten to the point of being god-tier!
Which production team would be so brain-damaged to do this?
However, through Kuroko's appearance, he also had a premonition that this anime was slightly different from the basketball anime he had watched before.
At least the character of Kuroko, with his weak presence, could attract the audience to keep watching.
Character setting!
Pan-Guegue felt he discovered the characteristic of this anime.
Character setting is likely a big selling point!
In the blink of an eye.
It was time for club activities, and Kuroko arrived at the Teiko Basketball Club immediately.
Since the introduction mentioned earlier that Teiko is a regular at the Nationals and a basketball powerhouse.
When the audience saw the sea of people in the basketball club, although somewhat surprised, they were prepared in their hearts.
Then the plot reached the scene of **Tendo Keigon**'s debut.
From the audience's perspective, after Tendo Keigon walked in the door, he started looking around and unknowingly blocked Kuroko.
After Kuroko pursed his lips, he spoke up, "Excuse me, this classmate, could you move a bit?"
"Move for what?"
Tendo Keigon turned his head only to realize there was actually someone behind him, wearing a kuudere face.
He immediately jumped back in fright, shouting, "Scared me to death! Why did you run behind me for no reason?"
"I've been standing here since just now. You didn't notice me."
"You were here first?"
In front of the camera, Tendo Keigon looked horrified and logically complained.
"According to the manga setting, although I've heard some people are born with no presence, to be thin to this extent, are you sure you're not from Marvel?"
*Pfft~*
Hearing this, Pan-Guegue burst out laughing on the spot.
Driven by him, the audience also burst into laughter, with bullet comments of "hahahaha" covering the screen.
'Good roast!'
'This guy definitely read the script.'
'Not filming a movie, but pretty close, classmate!'
'The truth!'
After a burst of laughter, the audience noticed Tendo Keigon at this time.
In appearance, he had a head of white hair that was irresistible in the 2D world.
His figure was slender, wearing sunglasses, showing his personality all the time.
Although his pupils couldn't be seen, the first impression he gave people was that his looks were definitely maxed out.
However, Tendo Keigon made a move to pull down his sunglasses to the bridge of his nose, seriously sizing up Kuroko, briefly revealing his pupils.
That fleeting glimpse made who knows how many female netizens feel he was incredibly handsome.
'Wow, so handsome!'
'Blue eyes, white hair, love it, love it!'
'Hubby~'
'Damn, to give me a feeling of devastating handsomeness in such a beautiful-style anime, this guy is not simple!'
'Bad news, I feel my looks are threatened.'
*Kuroko's Basketball*'s second biggest feature.
Like *The Prince of Tennis*, every character looks good.
Watching the reaction of the bullet comments, Pan-Guegue knew that this anime had the potential to be "fire." Whether it explodes or not depends on the subsequent plot development.
Everyone who watches few anime might not be clear, but after a long time, they will all discover an important issue.
Almost all successful anime series are inseparable from successful character settings.
This *Generation of Miracles*, the two important characters who have appeared so far, have good character settings and are distinctive.
Moreover, there is a domineering name.
"Um, hello, my name is **Kuroko Tetsuya**, a first-year freshman this year. Please take care of me."
"My name is **Tendo Keigon**. Please take care of me."
As soon as the name came out, a large number of bullet comments appeared again.
'Also named **Tendo**?'
'King of Cool reserved!'
'Quick, what is your relationship with **Tendou Souji**?'
'Are you also a Kamen Rider?'
One of the three major Japanese tokusatsu series is called *Kamen Rider*.
Among them, one generation's protagonist is called Tendou Souji.
This Rider's plot has been complained about by many people, but it is still relished by Rider fans.
There is only one reason: the protagonist acts too cool, known as the Heisei Era's Number One King of Cool!
Every time he appears, he has to say "Grandmother said...". God knows if his grandmother was a chuunibyou in her youth to teach him so many flashy lines.
At least one sentence per episode, without repetition!
