Nice! The Vanishing Drive! However, I believe that this technique will eventually be figured out by someone and he'll have to develop a new technique

Recaps need to die...TBH.What a waste of three minutes.

+1.

Not bad, great OST too, but too much focusing on developing the characters instead of the match.

A 3 min recap seriously wasn't necessary >.>

Great game Kuroko's drive is amazing.

Cliffhanger!!!!!!!! I'm guessing that Kagami will get blocked and it will go into overtime or would it be a tie?

Loved the play once again. Kiyoshi making those shots was too nerve wrecking @_@

Can't understand Kuroko's drive still But the Seirin caught the pace again and scored :D

And the music is really not fitted for this show >.> Though the play generates so much electricity, its like the music tried to drain it all away x_x Why did they have to get a new composer anyway? S1 ost could have been continued without any problems. I mean I don't think anything can beat the first OST. Its fits too perfectly to the show, theme and the characters. S2 music just doesn't have that much metal. Oh well, guess just have to try hard to ignore the music.

Decent episode but I felt the unveiling of Kuroko's drive could have been better executed.

They should have just let Kuroko through as I can't even remember the last time he scored, instead of closing out on him or sending help defense.

Since the move is realistically impossible, I would just immediately retreat a few steps until he reappears instead of trying to follow him or even let him try to beat me with the jumper. But don't take this thought seriously, still enjoying this show.

My husbandos is action. Kuroko baby! <3 In all honesty though, when I read this match in the manga it wasn't very exciting. But man, in the anime it was amazing! I was out of breath.

Man, if this episode was awesome I can't imagine how breathtaking it'll be when things start getting real serious.

The free throw scene was handled really well, very high intensity and nerve wrecking that I almost lose my mind!

If I were in Kiyoshi's shoes, my knees would've given away the second I heard that 'free throw, 2 shots!' from the referee!

no overtime?

the show keeps going more more ridiculous with these insane techniques but that's fine

too bad they aren't bringing back an OST in the same vein as the first season :(

p.s. I'm getting a Mitsui (SlamDunk) vibe from the next ep

Loving how they animated vanishing drive.

The thing at the end that kept going from Kagami's face to Midorima's face and back went on way too long.

Incredible once again.

It's amazing how well developed generation of miracles is (well, at least Kise, Midorima and Aomine since remaining 2 had almost no screen time so far). Guess that's why I enjoy the show as much as I do. It's simply that I can't really feel sad if Kuroko loses when his opponents are beyond great.

The final scene was a bit lacking, but hell, I still don't know who's gonna win.
It would be obvious that main character is going to win if that wouldn't create anticlimactic last match vs those "evil" scheming guys. They'd be certain to advance in case they win vs Shutoku.

Theoretically they could all still go 2-1 but thanks to the 1st game vs Shutoku the "evil" team would need to crush Seirin with HUUUGE point difference.

Oh welp, no need to think too hard, it's all gonna be explained and shown next episode I guess :)

While I'm enjoying watching this, it's kind of annoying to look past some of the things especially since I big basketball fan. Not that it hasn't been going on throughout the show but this episode in particular with the vanishing drive and the whole 2 sec at the end. Why Shutoku was acting like 2 sec wasn't enough time to score if Teppei made it is kind of ridiculous.

Loved the episode, but what is this, Dragon Ball? Kuroko was teleporting lol
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

I know this sounds kind of douchy, but at this moment I'm kind of stalling and waiting for Winter Cup to begin - It's not that I dislike these episodes, not at all, but we've waited way to long for this second season, and it's all about the Winter Cup!

... Or that's what I thought through the first 5 episodes.

This episode was the most intense I've seen, first season included! At first, I was a little skeptical of the lack of Metal-OST's, but that OST at the end was too much for me - I was shaking! The way Kyoshi threw the ball, the way both couches screamed "REBOUNDOOOO", holy sht ._.
