Misses At the Buzzer

While scouting through ANN, I saw this disheartening waste of money: This year’s Buzzer Beater anime, which will be the second television adaptation of the basketball manga by Takehiko Inoue (Slam Dunk, Vagabond), will begin airing on NTV affiliates in Japan on Tuesday, July 3. Source: TMS Entertainment WTFWHY??? Here’s our coverage of the original [...]

Buzzer Beater Review

I was surprised that this series got animated, as the manga was just a short, free, online ditty that didn’t have that much of a story (although the ending was surprising). They cut out almost every intriguing alien and plotline, and toned down Hideyoshi’s skill. Although many of the basketball sequences were beautiful, [...]

Buzzer Beater 13 (Final)

The Earth team finally takes a 70-69 lead thanks to DT’s amazing play, but DT is really starting to wear down. He’s tired and dizzy, and gets whistled for two charging fouls and fouls out (the first one was questionable, but on the second one, Rigel jumped into him, wtf). With DT out, [...]

Buzzer Beater 12

Well, it’s finally time for the game against the Dayfield Sonics, and the Earth team is still undefeated at 4-0.

Buzzer Beater 10

Most of this episode features the red-headed Goran from last time. Julius (nicknamed “J”) is a rising star, but he’s also quite sensitive. Although Julius did fabulous in last year’s championship run, he made a boneheaded play in the last four seconds that lost them a game against the IBL’s Thunders that would [...]

Buzzer Beater 09

The scrub team from last episode gets owned, and so they make a big deal of bringing in the real starters. However, it doesn’t make any difference and by the time it’s 86 to 24, the Earth team empties the bench (except for Afro). The game ends with the Earth team winning 132 [...]
