Links: I Have A New Favorite TV Show

Buzzer Beat!

by Lang Whitaker

Our friends at Free Darko found this video and twittered it, and it really is just spectacular on many, many, many levels.

I’m going to be singing this in my head all day.

And I will watch every episode of “Buzzer Beat” from now on.

Even if I don’t speak Japanese.

Enjoy…

    i miss slam dunk manga….it obliterates most other shounen jump efforts in terms of characterisation and storyline

    japanese hoopsters have small balls

    Japanese television is by far the most corny in the world, with Brazilian just edging out American for the runners up position.

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    HBO has the best television EVER, so I don’t see why you think American tv is “corny”.

    Hey Lang! Taiwan did a similar series a few years back called “MVP Valentine”. Yes, there were horrendously cheesy love story elements in it. But the star of the show played on the Taiwanese national squad, and he can definitely ball. This Buzzer Beat looks strangely good, though.

    I remembered reading the manga of buzzer beater. At least y’all know the Slam Dunk’s anime is good

  • Sanger

    Only problem with the slam dunk anime was it took forever to show one important play…..

    Which episode does the token black guy on the team teach everyone to dunk? And where are the ninjas?

    interesting opening, funny, but entertaining…, i’d say it’s Hang Time meets One Tree Hill.

    I thought it was the live action of the manga/anime series Buzzer Beater by creator of Slam Dunk manga/anime series, but it’s actually a different show altogether. I dig the shiny basketballs, though. :D

    at 1:24 they even got the rodman hustle!

    @ EBoy: the flying v formation, maybe…but the real question is will the NBA coach be able to get the players to do the Sparta battle cry like that too? because obviously it’s essential for the formation!

  • Daniel

    @Gerard Himself
    The opening riff is straight out of “Take Me Out”…

  • Knock Knock

    That looks like the most retarded show i’ve ever seen.
