Yesss Alexandra debuts this episode, it's about damn time. I like her style like the way it was in the manga. Episode was kinda relaxing to watch.

The bro moments with Aomine and Kuroko was nice :3

Chanko pot with fruits and protein by coach at that guy from America's house. Female teacher? lol @ "UGLA"! Talking about when the two in US are young with her. More training after watching one of the games by one of the Generation member. Kuroko also learning to shoot.

Time for next game! 30 mins. delay next ep.

Alexxx! x3 Ep was full of nice (not gay at all yeahhh sure) moments, but the thing that caught my eye the most was during Kuroko's brief Teikou flashback... Akashi really has an amazing ass.

Fun episode :D

Lol'd at the start with Riko's cooking XDXDXD She was so cute with her Te-he :P :3
Really! Saito Chiwa's clutzy voice is kawaii <3
RIP everyone. Slow death XD How she was depressed during the nxt morning was funny.

Alex is friggin HOT *A*...Lol'd at Koga's reaction hahaha. Dat Engrish XD Dat Kiss XD
Dat Yuri Kiss <3...Riko's blush was cute :3 And Alex's reaction to Kuroko appearing out of nowhere was hilarious XD
Loved her reaction to seeing the GoM. So they'd make even an WNBA pro shiver lol OP as hell hahaha.

Taiga for more training and Kuroko asking Aomine to train him was nice ^^ Poor Aomine. Couldn't sleep at all and now he has the one who defeated him asking him to train him XD

Well, nxt ep seems they're gonna kick this team's ass then time for Yosen!!

I was wondering if it was ever going to happen, and after this episode it looks like it is. Kuroko is finally trying to learn how to shoot.
Although he's amazing at passing the ball, being able to knock down jumpers and layups would be a huge asset to his offensive game.

Really appreciate that the training only took one episode. Getting right back into the action next episode.

Lol, I was surprised to see Rika passed out from her own cooking. Kagami's teacher straight out of the WNBA that was a shocker. But that English was horrible though. I felt like I was watching messed up English dub for a minute. I can't wait till Kagami plays against his brother or whatever since he's also on GOM level. It'll probably be a match similar to the one with Aomine. In other words we might see "The Zone" again!

Well I was about to ask how the Winter Cup works, but that answered all of my questions. A nice break from the craziness to set up the scene for Kuroko/Kagami's improvement as well as the remainder of the tournament itself. Alex x Riko, yes please.

I'm glad it was at least understandable without subs. In another anime I watched recently, there were lots of scenes with English conversations and it was more lethal than Riko's cooking.

Good episode! very relaxing and funny too. Them passing out from Riko's food was just hilarious. Its really nice that Kuroko wants to learn how to shoot. I think that will seriously help him to become a beast even though hes pretty good already in assisting. Can't wait to see how this game goes!

I love how they made the beginning in such a dramatic way. Finally Alex' debut. She's one of my favorite female characters in the series.
How aomine patted kuroko's head. *~* (even though it was short)
I love bromance between Aomine and Kuroko.
Can't wait for the Yosen match next week!

The Engrish was okay, but it still makes me cringe. Riko's cooking is a deadly as ever! 7 episodes left, guess I best be prepared for another dragged out match. I doubt we'll get to see Kise being beast before this season finishes.

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.”

I have to say Alex's english was not that bad! But I still have a hard time fully understanding Kagami.

I felt such Joy from this episode! It was needed after the super intense Touou game! Especially with an even more intense game coming up!

A bit disappointed that they cut the episode at such an uninteresting place though. I wonder if they'll cut the season right after the Yosen game, or if they will have an episode setting up the "Teiko story" arc??

Looking so much forward to it!
The 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew adaptation is not as great as you remember it being.

Aww loved seeing Kuroko and Aomine playing basketball together again! ^^ I remember this was when I started to really really like Aomine.

That beginning part was hilarious, Riko's lethal cooking.

Kagami's Ono Yuuki's English pronunciation really needs some work, lol. Alex's was actually pretty good for the most part. They're sure working hard for the next game!

Haha- your my soul-mate (if we look olny for the reaction on newest KnB epiosde)

This sceane between Aomine and Kuroko is sooo coool. I wish Kiseki no Sedai would play togehter once again- It have to look gogreus :D
Alex is kind of annoyin but she's better at speaking English than Kagami (when KAgami says something in English I've got difficulties to undersnad him ^^")

They also the skipped the part where Aomine supposedly ditched Momoi to meet up with Kuroko. We;; episodes is pretty faithful to the manga for the most part. As for the one who say there are a lot of steam... wait till next few weeks to know what steam really mean... XD

The new Yosen scenes in the opening are awesome. Himuro's shooting form is simply wow -- better animated than any of Midorima's shots. OMG Mukkun's HAIR. And dat spoiler in the opening: Was that a shot by Kuroko? Stay tune to find out.


Midorima's steam moment was so awesome in the manga but it was over so quickly in the anime. Come on, let Midorima shine/glow/steam for a couple seconds more. :) Alex is even more awesome than I expected; something about the way her face is drawn in the anime. Battle of Beasts coming up next episode -- can't wait!

that english tho..
ahahhaha i could not stop laughing!
i was shocked when kuroko asked for aomine's help but then i was literally blown away when aomine agreed. i wish their bromance came back in full swing though. im actually really worried about the game with yosen because since kagami's "brother" is on the GoM level PLUS they have murasakibara! so lets say kagami focuses on his brother okay but what about the other one? kuroko better get good at shooting so he can stand a change against another GoM. honestly, i want the whole GoM to be close again and play together. im just sayin imagine that team! they would be invincible!
wow this was long sorry..

OP showing scenes of Seirin VS Yosen. Damn can't wait to watch that.
Most likely this current match will end rather quickly I guess.

Riko's cooking makes another killer return.
Fruits + Vegetables + Supplements hot pot. Recipe for disaster.

Kagami training with Alex and Kuroko training with Aomine.
Definitely wanna see how much they've improved.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

And cue in the totally realistic and totally not a fanservice device/character/person thingy megane wearing naked blond chick who kisses everyone in her close proximity.

Seirin's match took several episodes, so many that I lost count. Shutoku's match literally lasted seconds, LOL ....

Kuroko finally learning how to shoot (like seriously, you're playing basketball and don't yet know how to shoot?).

Well, next match looks somewhat interesting.
Go ***k yourself.
