Chapter 12

"Still have to start watching from the original anime!"

Excluding those with original works, he started searching for original ones, but unexpectedly saw an anime with the word "live" appear in his sight.

"Live?"

What’s going on?

Opening the summary, he discovered that this anime was actually broadcast in a live format; you couldn’t pull the progress bar during the live broadcast and had to wait until the full episode was finished.

More importantly, this was a rare sports-themed anime focusing on basketball.

"What kind of routine is this? Could it be a key recommendation from B-site?"

"A routine I’ve never seen before."

It was hard not to attract Fan Shi’s attention when the video site was being so ingenious.

Live first, and only playable normally after it finished—it was completely unique.

Even though he had seen countless bad anime and his "poison resistance" was maxed out, he couldn’t help but want to say, "You’re so saucy!"

"Then let’s take a look at this *Kuroko’s Basketball Prequel: Generation of Miracles* together. Hmm, the name is very long, it should have something to it."

"I seem to have missed it when doing the new anime preview; I have zero impression of it now."

The stage where the story begins revolves around Kuroko.

'Hey, a blue-haired guy!'

'Seems like a "three-no" (emotionless) character too, cute!'

'Upstairs, tone it down; I can smell you from the bathroom!'

'Is this the protagonist? A basketball anime, isn’t this height a bit too short?'

'Could it be that "waste-material-striving" royal road hot-blooded routine?'

Kuroko’s appearance didn’t cause much of a sensation.

Having hung out on the video site for a long time and watched all kinds of animations, everyone was no longer the teenagers they once were.

They could even analyze the general direction of the plot based on a few clues.

Sure enough, the story soon told why Kuroko fell in love with basketball.

"Doesn’t seem to have any surprises."

Such an opening, it couldn’t be said to be stereotypical, but in Fan Shi’s long career as a content creator, he had seen too many similar plots.

"So the next plot is probably the protagonist relying on his own efforts to lead the team to conquer the nation, right?"

Immediately, he found himself slapped in the face.

When Kuroko walked into Teiko, walking on the campus where recruitment was happening everywhere, strange things happened one after another.

His existence was like a ghost, unnoticed by anyone, as if isolated from the world.

Even when he came to the upperclassmen responsible for recruiting new members for the basketball club, the other party seemed not to see him either.

"What kind of presence is this?" Fan Shi’s expression began to change, his mouth muttering, "Heaven-defying, a bit heaven-defying."

With the help of this, the narrator inserted again, introducing Kuroko’s extremely heaven-defying lack of presence.

From birth, except for his parents, even very close friends found it difficult to notice his existence.

Thinking of this, he imitated Bucciarati from *JOJO Part 5*, sucking in a breath of air.

"It’s the smell of something wrong!"

"Brothers, believe me, this anime is not right; it’s definitely not the traditional sports anime we are familiar with, at least not a royal road hot-blooded anime like *Slam Dunk*."

'Nonsense, of course it’s not right; who has such a low presence!'

'Stealth to play basketball?'

'Do you think there will be a plot where the protagonist dribbles all the way to the basket and the defender doesn’t react at all?'

"And then because the referee doesn’t notice him, the score doesn’t count?"

'233333!'

'Why do I suddenly want to laugh?'

Netizens quickly imagined some strange scenes.

Including Fan Shi, after seeing the barrage, a bizarre scene appeared in his mind.

Kuroko dribbles slowly across the half-court, unimpeded all the way, encountering no defense, easily killing to the basket to complete the score, and then the referee doesn’t notice, and the score is invalid.

"How could it be so heaven-defying."

"If such a scene really appears, I’ll give this anime a 10!"

So bad it becomes god-tier!

Which production team would be so brain-dead to do this?

However, through Kuroko’s appearance, he also felt that this anime was slightly different from the basketball anime he had watched before.

At the very least, the character Kuroko and his weak presence could attract the audience to keep watching.

Character design!

Fan Shi felt he had already discovered the characteristics of this anime.

Character design was highly 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.

Because it had been introduced earlier that Teiko was a regular at the national tournament and a basketball powerhouse.

When the audience saw the basketball club crowded with people, although they were a bit surprised, they were prepared in their hearts.

Then the plot reached the scene of Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan Tiandao’s first appearance.

From the audience’s perspective, after Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan Tiandao walked through the door, he started looking around, and without knowing it, he blocked Kuroko.

Kuroko pouted and said, "Um, this classmate, could you move aside?"

"Move aside for what?"

Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan Tiandao turned his head and realized there was someone behind him, and with a "three-no" face at that.

He was immediately scared into a back-jump, shouting, "Scared the hell out of me, why are you running behind me for no reason?"

"I was here the whole time; you just didn’t notice me."

"You were here first?"

Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan Tiandao in front of the camera had a horrified look, naturally complaining.

"What kind of manga setting is this? Although I’ve heard that some people are born without presence, to be this thin, are you sure you aren’t from Marvel?"

Pfft~

Fan Shi laughed out loud upon hearing this.

Driven by him, the audience also burst into laughter, with barrages of "hahahaha" filling the screen.

'Good roast!'

'This guy must have read the script.'

'Not filming a movie, but it’s about the same, classmate!'

'You hit the nail on the head!'

After a burst of laughter, the audience finally noticed Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan Tiandao.

In appearance, he had a head of white hair that one couldn’t refuse in the two-dimensional world.

His figure was very slender, wearing sunglasses, showing off his personality at all times.

Although his pupils couldn’t be seen yet, the first impression was that this person’s looks were definitely maxed out.

However, Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan Tiandao did the action of pulling his sunglasses down to the bridge of his nose, seriously examining Kuroko, briefly revealing his pupils.

That fleeting glance left countless female netizens stunned by his handsomeness.

'Wow, so handsome!'

'Blue eyes, and white hair, love it, love it!'

'Husband~'

'Damn, in such a beautiful anime, he can still give me a feeling of being handsome to the point of dropping slag; this guy is not simple!'

'Oh no, I feel my looks are threatened.'

The second major feature of *Kuroko’s Basketball*.

Like *Prince of Tennis*, every character is very good-looking.
