Anime Review: I'll /CKBC

Review I'll /CKBCWritten by WarpshadowRating good

I wouldn't say this is a great Oav but I thought it was a fairly decent sports story. It is worthwhile as a rental.

Akane Tachibana and Hitonari Hiragi are rivals and friends who play for the Kouzu basketball team. Hiragi's father and brother are both famous in the basket ball and are pressuring him to take his basketball further by joining a more prestigious team. He is also being scouted by another school that wants to add him to there roster. The Kouzu team isn't going to let him go without a fight and for the first time in while Tachibana will face off with Hiragi.

I'll/ CKBC is a two episode based off of a much longer manga series. This is most notable because this is an Oav with a sizable cast that is far from being fully realized. They would probably have more impact if one had read the manga but it is sadly unlicensed. The two main characters on the other hand are detailed quite well and there story is one worth watching. It also has some nice basketball action without any stupid gimmicks, especially the game at the end of the second episode. While this is like many Oav in that it is a short and ultimately disposable show I found that it works as a short Sports anime story being somewhat unique as many of the few sports anime show available tend to be long and a bit repetitive. So for that reason I'll/CKBC is worth consideration if you like sports shows.
