Kuroko's Basketball
The manga series "Kuroko's Basketball," which was written by Tadatoshi Fujimaki, started on the comic magazine "Weekly Shonen Jump" in 2009.
It wasn't very popular at first, since the young people regarded the comic "Slamdunk" as the best basketball manga and they thought no more was needed.
However, after the protagonist Kuroko developed the secret weapons such as "The Vanishing Drive" and "The Phantom Shoot," it became more and more popular for children who had been indifferent about basketball before.
The animation, which was produced by Production I.G, started not only in Japan but also in Taiwan and Korea in April this year.
Now, "Kuroko's Basketball," is the most popular manga and animation in Japan.
This is the first opening theme.
A secret weapon or trump card is indispensable in popular sports drama for children in Japan.

Captain Tsubasa and his fellows also developed the weapons, "The Drive Shoot," "The Drive Over Head," "The Twin Drive Shoot," etc.
This is the opening theme in 1983.
Boys and girls are attracted by the secret weapon at first, and grew to love the sport because of it.
Sports manga and animation have given them the dreams to become the best in the world.
Some children have grown to be the players who are active internationally.
A boy who watched "The Star of the Giants" with passion became the head coach, Tatsunori Hara, of the national baseball team.
They won the World Baseball Classic championship in 2009.
The women's baseball national team, "Madonna Japan," also won the third consecutive IBAF Women's World Cup on August 19.
Active female soccer players as well as male players watched "Captain Tsubasa" when they were children.
The women's national soccer team won the FIFA Women's World Cup last year.
They also obtained the silver medal in the London Olympics, although the men's squad finished fourth.
The Japanese girls who watch "Kuroko's Basketball" may grow to win the gold medal of the Olympics someday.
However, is it possible that the men's squad will defeat the USA dream team?

Nice English! Very informative too.
It wasn't very popular at first, since the young people regarded the comic "Slamdunk" as the best basketball manga and thought no more was needed.
It's better to set up the sentence because it gets the point across that you were trying to make and it shortens the sentence.
G, started not only in Japan but also in Taiwan and Korea in the spring of this year.
Generally, what I've noticed about anime, drama, etc,. is the fact that they go by fall, winter, spring, and summer scheduling. You can use April here but I think it would be better to use spring of this year rather than April of this year. If you wanted to specify April, I would just say: in April.
A secret weapon or a trump card is indispensable in popular sports drama for children in Japan.
Hmmm, I'm not so sure coup de grace would work in this context. Secret weapon is like a trump card. So instead of coup de grace, I would use, "trump card".
The protagonist, Hyuma Hoshi, the pitcher of the Tokyo Giants, developed the secret weapon, "The Vanishing Pitch," and made the biggest contribution to the team winning the league title.
It was made into an animated series and became the most celebrated series among the children in 1968.
In 1981, the manga "Captain Tsubasa," known as "Flash Kicker" in English-speaking countries, was released from the comic magazine, "Weekly Shonen Jump."
The animation also that started in 1983 became the most popular soccer manga and animation in the world
Don't really need to put also here. If you wanted to indicate that the animation had came about as well then you would use as well at the beginning of the sentence.
Captain Tsubasa and his fellows also developed the weapons, "The Drive Shoot," "The Drive Over Head," "The Twin Drive Shoot", etc.
Easier to drive home the point that there were a lot of special moves with an et cetera, in my opnion.
Boys and girls are attracted by the secret weapon at first, and grew to love the sport because of it.
I changed the sentence to show why the first part was so important because without the secret weapon the boys and girls might not have grown to like it as much.

Ronaldinho told that he liked the animation very much when he was a kid.

You can also read it because the script is easy Japanese.
Ask your friend when you don't follow. : )
