Crunchyroll streams first Kuroko's Basketball compilation film

There's no doubting the popularity of sports anime series Kuroko's Basketball, and there's also no doubting that at this point there's a lot of anime to watch if you're keen on getting up to speed with the series.

To that end, Crunchyroll last night announced that they will be streaming the show's trilogy of recap movies, the first of which - Kuroko's Basketball Movie - Winter Cup Highlights -Shadow and Light- - is now available on the service and streaming to UK subscribers (opening up to free members next week).

It seems likely that the second and third films will arrive on the service in the future, but for now you can find the first film on the show's Crunchyroll page. Here's the synopsis if any further temptation is needed:

The first match of Seirin vs Tôô Gakuen at the Winter Cup. Seirin swore they would get revenge from the Inter-High, but Aomine's talents grew even stronger and Kuroko's new move is seen through. After having all of his efforts denied by his former light, Aomine, Kuroko is benched and faces humiliation. Seeing his partner like this, something almost beast-like awakens within Kagami, and he challenges Aomine. Aomine had lost almost all sense of fighting, until he and Kagami both intensely face off with each other as they go into the Zone.
