Ah I just love the mood of this episode.

Dat double OP Song. I love the coach's enthusiasm though. They will need more of that in this tournament anyways. Damn that injury though...I can sense the tension in this match.

Nice seeing how the Seirin basketball club started. Lol at them getting caught on the roof.

I thought seeing all of the Generation of Miracles together was pretty cool.

I don't like that Hanamiya guy. Seems like a dirty player. Such an evil vibe to him.

Oh, that's how the "entry" routine comes from. And his hair changed back. 2nd verse? of OP as inserted song. The team made, and seeing those Miracle team (though they skipped Kuroko as expected).

One of the games against the "delinquent" team. FukuJun's character realized his hurt leg and in result into a leg that needs surgery. They lost without him, who went surgery.

End of flashback and vs. that "delinquent" team.

The flashback continues...

Kinda expected that "Bad Boy" to really live up to his name though it still doesn't seem like he's worthy of being called a king... but that remains to be seen

Haha nobody noticed Kuroko as usual
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

Funny how Kuroko just walks right in front of them and the guys don't even notice him lol.

Hanamiya is such a dirty player. Hyuuga should have beat him up right on the spot.

I almost got teary eyed with that hospital scene. Can't wait for the next episode.

Really good episode. The emotions were overflowing at the end :*)

I loved the way Seiren began. The roof scene and Riko laughing at them was fun XD

The part when they showed Teiko was intense as usual. Damn this team is just too OP and the presence they have is too big!! And Kuroko passing by XD

Hyuga is one of the rare likable guy tsundere's XD

Damn Hanamiya. I can't wait to see him owned.

Good episode.

IIRC in the manga, Hyuga saw Kuroko. Here, he just passes them.
Hyuga Junpei: “Yeah… I’m confident… Because my teammates will help me out! I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!”

Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.”

Ugh Hanamiya's face annoys me :( Time for revenge.

Poor Kiyoshi, wanting to play for all three years with the team but couldn't. At least he's still having fun now. And lol at Hyuuga's promise at the rooftop, how bold and confident of him.

So, I'm looking forward to the revenge.

Also I loved how Kuroko wasn't noticed even then, it keeps making me laugh every single time.

Entire episode for wonderful BROMANCE, my heart was crushed when I saw Teppei's tears T^T Now they really need to win!

Over so quick again :(

Really good flashback getting alot of information from it which is really handy and it doesn't seem to feel like it's leaving anything out for later in the story. Which it might but still doesn't feel like it at this point.

Can't wait to get back into the basketball again xD

A continuation from the previous flashback to develop the story on Seirin's origin, which was pretty nice and heartwarming (especially as you see Hyuuga and Teppei's relationship and trust develop). Next match will be the Dai Ichi match and more screen-time for Hanamiya's dirty tactics. And then after that the highly anticipated Yosen match! (Atleast, i think that's next...) Can't wait to see Murasakibara play (and Tatsuya, too...)

Did anyone else see that Endcard? So cute!

They still have to play someone else before Yosen, remember? Hint*zone*. Levi is a good voice for Akashi. Aomine and Midorima must be the oldest sounding 15 year olds ever. :)

Injuries are so horrible that can happen to a person who love playing (had to give up playing Tennis himself).

Back-stories when made right, always make anime/manga stronger. This gets a solid 10/10 in my book. True that these two episodes lacked match action, but with this we got to know more about Kiyoshi, Hyouga, Riko and how they formed the Seirin basketball team and vowed to become the best. Absolutely loved it.

Hopefully they will live up to next episode title, even better if they crush that team.

You don't get it, backstories and such are important, especially this one, it prepares us for the incoming match. Don't you feel now more hate towards Hanamiya, don't you? That was basically its purpose. Also, I found it quite nice knowing Teppei's backstory, since he's such a great character.

Got to agree , Hyuuga is really worthy of being a captain. That hospital scene where Hyuuga motivates Teppei was just wow , I cried. Is it normal to cry ?

Preview , next week is going to be a rematch against the bad boy's team ? Omg.

Great episode , 5/5. Sadly , no Kuroko x Kagami this week , but Hyuuga x Teppei really do make up for this week.

I guess they wanted to be faithful to the manga, and weren't able to fit the backstory chapters in only 1 episode.

Either way I don't read the manga, so I don't know, but looks like from the next episode we'll have the action we all wanted.
