Epic stuff...Aomine is pretty cool even though he's a complete dick. Its hard to find characters like that. It was nice seeing a happy and fun side to him with the flashbacks and all. The opening act sure seems tough and I expected nothing less from the glasses wearing captain but Sakurai was very unexpected with that 3 pointer.

Screw what I said in any previous episode discussions, Aomine/Grimmjow/Archer is pretty much my favourite Kuroko No Basket character now, along with Kagami. This game/arc will decide it for me, between the 2.

The build up was nice and the backstory on Teiko was very insightful. Aomine's internal conflict was comprehensible. Kise's growth was also really fun to watch and Midorima seems to have never changed lol.

Once again, they always put Momoi in there at the worst possible time! My attention got snatched in one fell swoop again lol. Then they switch your mood so fast with the teams preparing, DAMN IT!

The ending of the episode once again leaves you craving more. next week can't come any sooner.

Once again another great episode. Aomine is way too good, he really is the best player. Maybe Kagami will wake him up. I'm really looking forward to how this game will go.

Momoi fan service ftw!

The amount of emotions in this anime is too damn high. It gives me goosebumps.

Lol at Riko calling her dad a pervert. It pretty much felt like the relationship I have with my father.

Also, cute ending illustation. As always.


Exactly, I had no idea that basketball was so dramatic =.=

I'm so fucking glad they fixed the OP. Their extreme laziness with it before really annoyed me, but now it actually feels like a real OP.

I disagree with your thought. The previous opening was unique and it's what made me want to watch the anime. I like how they portrayed a game instead of showing the characters without any movement like they do for most anime opening. The opening was a great preview for what the show was about and it did not disappoint.

Wow! They certainly build this Aomine dude to a godly level.
Also if he felt like his too good for Japan then why didn't he try going outside. Then he would have eaten a nice humble pie.

Btw i love the white school uniform on Riko.


kittybell said:
Is it just me or did the animation seem different somehow from previous ones? Kind of more sudden movements and and... I can't even explain it but it was a little weird and didn't seem in the 'spirit' of what was done till now. Maybe it's just due to lack of sleep on my part and things moving too quickly. =P


I'm certain that guy running at the end was moving very funny.

rebelakuma said:
That weak-looking and always apologizing guy was the most unexpected of all! Tsk tsk.. opening act huh? Haha.


Only if you never seen anime before. Otherwise it was expected as fuck. They where showing him so much apologizing and playing weak that it was like raising a big flag screaming "We are trying to make you notice how much of a weakling this guy seems to be so we can show him strong later".

Wow lol Aomine's kind of a jerk XD Not just kind of actually ... he's just a jerk :P Plus OK wow Kagami you sound like such a jealous lover omg O_O
Love middle school flashbacks XD Aomine's past is very interesting; although I can understand his mindset, I'm not particularly sympathetic towards him. Or empathetic. Whatever. Although bringing up Tiger Woods and Shaq was certainly interesting, considering where they are now. AOMINE PLAYING WITH KISE WAS SO FREAKING ADORABLE ♥ Plus Kuroko's fistbumps with Aomine and then LEFT HANGING and then Kagami ohohohoho ICWATUDIDTHAR ;O
Lol so Aomine doesn't even show up for the first half? I actually LOVE their team though. GLASSES CAPTAIN IS AMAZING XD Plus apologetic guy (Sakurai I think) ahahahaha XD Oh and Midorima doesn't want to watch :P If they truly are the "opening act" then Aomine will be a monster ... but ... knowing them they'll probably win again?

I don't like his backstory. He's too arrogant and I can't wait for Kagami to show him his place. They'll probably lose this one though.

Coach needs to get laid already. Man she's the most annoying character I saw this year.

The animation quality dropped at the end of the episode. Hope the match is better animated in the next episodes. Their movements were funny in this episode.

Seirin's first game is against Touou Acamedy.

Aomine started to skip practice cause he was too good of a player so he didn't enjoy playing basketball anymore.And it didn't help that his opponents started to quit in the middle of games cause they knew they'd lose anyways.

Aomine be overly confident isn't going to show up till the 2nd quarter ends.

Seirin thinks this means they'll widen the gap between the point in the first 2 quarter but wrong,Touou Acamedy has other tough players.

Lmao at Kagami walking on his hands. And his expression when Kuroko called him stupid.

I can't stand how lighthearted Aomine used to look. ;A;

I wonder what could have been done to prevent Aomine from changing? Something when he was first realizing how strong he was becoming. Kuroko did say something to rekindle the fire but it didn't last long because he realized how much his opponent's spirits were crushed by him. :/ So he just became even more bitter and jaded.

I really want Kagami and Kuroko to show Aomine that spirit Aomine's looking for, and that strength. Maybe it'll take a while but they'll get there.

Fist bumps. <3

It was cute and funny seeing glimpses of Seirin's families. XD

Ahh such a cute end card!

Aomine is such a dick to his teammates. Not only that, but he's also considered to be playing at Shaquille O'Neil and Tiger Woods level.
I guess his backstory tells us why and how he's such a dick. He really needs a rival otherwise basketball isn't fun for him.
But lol, Aomine and Momoi aren't part of Senshinkan.

Lol Kagami used his hands to walk. Dat fist bump.
Awesome how they showed the morning routines of Seirin. Aww, Tetsuya Number 2 is so cute in his jersey.
Seirin vs Touou begins! Woah, Aomine's only coming during the second half, but the opening act seem like pretty tough opponents already.
Dat Sakurai. Let's see what Seirin can do.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Kagami couldn't play, awww.

Aomine doesn't practice because already no one is good enough to beat him and he doesn't want to get better lol. Makes sense I guess. He overslept too and won't be there until the second half. So he used to be Kuroko's light. Cool.

For the opening act they are pretty good!

This game won't be easy for Seirin. Even without Aomine, Touou is very strong. I don't like the guy who always says sorry though. That is just over-the-top annoying.
I'm also wondering if Kagami is actually well enough to jump? He said he didn't feel any pain in his legs but Riko said he won't be able to play.
