Day 8 : Favorite Ending

Ending 7 - Lantana 🏀✨️

When I first watched and finished Kuroko no Basuke (before the movie got out), I thought I would cry my soul out. I couldn't, because I wasn't even sad. I was oddly happy. The first time I watched this ending was in the last episode, and when I saw the ending screen with all the characters, I just felt happy. I loved knowing all of them and seeing them all in one place, I loved and enjoyed the story and I was just so happy and proud to be a part of something so great! Every next time when I rewatched KuroBasu though, I would feel sadder and sadder seeing the ending, because I would realise that it is over. Kuroko no Basuke's story is really finished. We will not watch any new matches, sit on the edges of our chairs and wonder who will win, we will not meet any new characters, see any new interactions between members of our favorite teams...

When the movie came out, I remember not wanting to watch it for a while, because episode 75 was still somehow the end of KuroBasu in my head. I also saw some not-so-good reviews, so I was a little scared... When I did watch it, after almost a year, I remember not even feeling like it was Kuroko no Basuke. The change in the art style was too much for me and seeing all the characters with different noses and hairstyles was so strange. I grew to love the movie more over the years, but still, finishing the anime, hearing Lantana and seeing the screen with all the characters still hit different. I also really loved Oldcodex and Tatsuhisa Suzuki at that time. I still love their music, and to this day Lantana is one of my favorite songs they ever made.

Kuroko no Basuke's story might be over, but it is never going to end, because of the fans. Even though the fandom is dying and asisn't big as before, it still exists! We still exist and enjoy the show, love the characters, make fanarts, edits, write fanfictions, write our opinions on the show, make theories, make tier-lists and so much more... We make Kuroko no Basuke alive and the story will not end as long as we are here to tell it to someone and share it. ✨️
