Show Summary

  • Ended
The team is in trouble, as there are not enough players to play a game. Additionally, the coach has left after a conflict with Fujiwara. However, Aikawa transfers to Mizuho and, through his enthusiasm and sheer love of the game, infuses the few remaining members with a sense of purpose. Despite the fact that there are only five of them (i.e., they have no substitutes), they manage to get the coach of the girls' team to coach them, as well. At first, she seems very strict, but later reveals her attachment to her "Dear Boys." Together, they do their best to make their dreams come true.moreless

    Awesome! That's all I can say. Those tight spots and sweet slam dunks from Aikawa were absolutely awesome. From a team that stopped playing basketball and also having problems to a team with skills and moving up to the FINALS. Aikawa's speed and moves are totally incomparable with any basketball player ever! Not to mention whatever he says always seem to get anyone happy, pumped up and ready to steal the ball from the opponents. This anime show proves that friendship, teamwork, hard work and three-pointers and win any game. Fujiwara, Oyaji, Isii, Aikawa, Miura and Anzaki are the best basketball team in Japan and Mizuho. Playing what is to them called 'Fun Basketball'!!moreless

  • If you just love cool basketball moves, and you just enjoy watching good looking guyz doing what they do best, and can't resist awesome theme music... Then this show is just PERFECT!!!moreless

    One word describes all - AMAZING!!! In this anime series, we not only got the chance to learn the importance and see some wonderful performance of team work, but also witness some unbelievable and awesome basketball moves, courtesy of Tendoji High's star player, also known as the young man that won them the National Championship - Kazuhiko Aikawa.

    Nothing less of fantastic, Dear Boys is a genuis work of art. Well, if you can call it that. If you are anything like me, which is a craze anime fan, then like me, you would be glued to your sit in amazement at this well drawn as well as cleverly plotted series. Every episode brings something new and exciting to viewers of all ages. With Aikawa's cheerful personality, contrasting with Takumi's serious leadership skills, one can expect nothing less than the best from our "dear boys".moreless
