Special story
Episode 25; after ending song (the last episode of this 1st season)Special scenes
This Anime has some special scenes that readers can see those scenes from episode 1-24. Those scenes inserted in the ending songs (both 1st and 2nd ending songs) with merely a few times (as it represented just 1 scene per 1 song). Readers can notice when the word "MBS" released (a small white alphabet in the middle of Japanese alphabet), then, will see many characters in casual dresses in a chilled day with basketball activities. ^_^
If there are any readers who would like to see those special scenes, but feel a bit lazy to find by yourself. Author has already print screen shot all 24 scenes in order by follow;
For episode 25, which is the last episode of season 1, the whole ending song was changed, also has a tiny extra story after this ending song.

My opinion
Just to let you know, author rarely watch sport's Anime. However, author has ever read two comics (Manga) about sports and incredibly impressive one from those two (which is "Over Drive"). Furthermore, I've heard a positive reputation (also, my older brother and my close friend recommended) about this story. So, I've tried this Anime. (And now, I'm already one of a sport's Anime fanclub).
When author finished this Anime...no disappointed. Author enjoyed and moved with every basketball match in this Anime! Likewise, author was so into and moved by those characters' inner and feeling because of their efforts and their development that seems like audiences also tried their best in the same time with them...
Another issue for Basketball Anime...There is an opportunity for audiences who'll compare this Anime, Kuroko no Basuke and Slam Dunk (Sakuragi Hanamiji)...For author's opinion, when author started this Anime (Kuroko) for a while, author didn't have any comparative argument with Slam Dunk because...
1) The main characters of these two Anime play in different role that one is player who scoring for a team while another one just support his team.
2) In the Anime, 'Slam Dunk', focusing on friendship within his team while 'Kuroko no Basuke' emphasising on both friendship in the past (middle school) and at the present (high school) which contains touching and sorrow. Moreover, when they become high school students, they have to confront each other in basketball match. However, they still can be friends outside basketball court, also help each other and share will power. This is a point that author believe, when readers watched this Anime, readers would also like this point.
Lastly, readers who never watch sport Anime and would like to try it, just try. Sport Anime not limited only for male who can enjoyed and moved by it, but open for all people (and all ages) who prefer friendship story and would like to follow the development of characters. If that so, author believes that readers can also enjoyed with this Anime. ^_^
