number24 is currently streaming in Australia on Crunchyroll, and in the US on Crunchyroll, and it uses the format for more than just a visual hook. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. 15 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it in order — the character development is cumulative. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Crunchyroll.

There is a reason number24 keeps coming up in conversation. Number24 has the visual identity that makes it immediately recognisable, and the writing to back it up. Natsusa Yuzuki entered university expecting to be the rugby club's ace, but he can no longer play rugby due to certain circumstances. Ibuki Ueoka is a senior who also quit playing rugby. There is also Yasunari Tsuru, Natsusa's junior who finds him disagreeable. Every line from Ryota Suzuki and Shohei Komatsu lands with more craft than you'd expect. Number24 premiered in 2020. The animation style is distinctive enough to be immediately recognisable, but it is the writing underneath that keeps viewers coming back for more. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

number24 belongs on any best-of list regardless of format. The tonal similarities to Kuroko's Basketball are real, though number24 carves out its own identity quickly. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious in ways that hold up regardless of format. Worth watching in order from the beginning.

number24 wrapped up in 2020 — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
