Ah, the amount of inner thoughts and character beliefs this episode.

My favorite part of the episode is when the guys including Sora began practicing at night on the court like bros.

Momoharu talking with the teacher and his wife hit very hard, best scene of the whole anime IMO.

Cool episode but they need to stop with Sora loving Madoka, it's absolutely cringe.

This is very hurtful episode... it shows the burden of the wrongdoer, and it resonates with me. There are bad people not because they're bad but because they have a bad decision. I wanna hug them!!!

Anyway, look like Kaname is really annoyed that Sora and Chiaki invade his house and eating dinner in his house, and I think both Sora and Chiaki should at least feel sorry.

Also yes, I appreciate Momoharu shirtless scene, but not his new haircut. I prefer crow-style.

Momoharu really standing out this episode. He's kinda been my favorite character for a while now, voiced by yuuma uchida helps a lot, but I'm enjoying his development after the match against Shinjo. Ever since they played Kitasumi honestly he's been growing a lot but now here we can see him digging deep to get through it. Taking the advice Chiaki said to heart and seeking forgiveness instead of waiting on it. The conversation with Mr Satsuki and his wife made me tear up some. Speaking to how basketball gave them a place to belong. We didn't know all that Satsuki had done for the boys trying to be their advisor. Especially now with a baby on the way. Momoharu then meeting up with Mokichi about their new starting line. I really do feel this can be a fresh start for the Kuzu team. Just need to cross time t's and dot some i's before they can get rolling. Nice to see Kite going around challenging college players, that's dope. Sora and Chiaki training like hell with those Nanao regiments.

P.S. No new episode next week as we take our usual season break at the end of the cour. Sad there's only a few left.

I am very surprised that contrary to previous cours, we still have zero information about eventual new opening or ending...Anyway, there are still two weeks then...

I am happy that this time they did not cut Yasuhara scenes as he's clearly a character who's developing a lot.

Every time I see Chiaki and Sora at Mokichi's house, I cannot stop thinking about how "disrecpectful" they are...lol. And even though I understand that it fits "teenagers", I agree that Sora "inner thoughts" about Madoka are always a bit...well. But that is true that there are teenagers like that.

Anyway, see you in July 1st then (my gosh, time is flying...2020 is almost already over)

Someone give Sora back his stolen hair, poor kid looks so awkward with this forced haircut....... And yeah, maybe tone down on the Madoka-fanservice or whatever that is. Really out of place.

Both Momoharu and Kaname are growing and it's being very nicely shown. I mean. Visiting a teacher at home, what even?? Meanwhile, Tobi is almost a bit of a comic relief character, challenging college students... lmao. But still all about his little sister.

Momoharu really wants to change, I think his development has come in good moment, the team is already waiting for him, as well as Sora. I think that ship is really solid.

The struggle to form a basketball club continues as they can't find a advisor to take them in. Despite all that these boys find time to practice on the court.

The team seems far from being annihilated but seems to be slowly reborning from its ashes like a Phoenix. Every has a strong motivation and probably wish to be granted a second chance. It won't be easy to erase the team's current reputation but it ain't impossible either ! Go for it boys !

Finally....Momoharu has cut his hair 😫😀 I had been waiting forever. Now he looks like a proper sports anime captain with something to prove 🤣👌🏽 I am an anime-only so have no idea where the story is going but am really enjoying the direction they have taken with the story. I am excited for the growth in Momoharu, Chiaki and Kite. The entire team should be something special once we get to the next Interhigh. I hope to see the most growth in Nabe, Yasu and Chucky. Would be so cool to see them as competent players on the court

Why do people ask to be spoiled? I don't understand this. I just want to see how people felt about the episode, but then I see a person say "spoil me". And gets his spoiler. And it's not even in spoiler tags. Just out there for everyone to see. Fuck off.

I'm happy that the boys has picked up their asses and started playing basketball again! The 3 stoogies has found their passion and purpose and I cant wait how they will hone their skill.

Proud that KITE has renewed his determination and passion to fulfill his promise to his little sister.

Momoharu did a great leap from accepting defeat, asking for forgiveness and for moving on. I can't blame if others say his like Sukaragi, for he really does reminds me of him.

Kaname, Chiaki & Sora had their time together, i pity Kaname's mom to shoulder the burden of cooking LOL

a great episode, a tear jerker, filled with promises.

excited to see the succeeding episodes.

Quite serious episode and all but seeing Tobi going full shounen protagonist challenging college students without invitation gave me a good laugh due to how childish the whole concept was.

And also damn, Momoharu sure received hits left and right this week. In some aspect, I'm glad to see him dealing with the blame like a man but it also kinda piss me off the fact that he's the only one everyone connect with the fire when the dumbass duo (Nabe and Chuckie) were the ones who incited the whole "let's smoke, guys" incident in the first place.

That said, it was still a very good episode with the scene between Momoharu and Satsuki-sensei's wife being the highlight in my opinion.

Now on the other hand, Sora acting more delusional than usual with Madoka is starting to get awkward.

P.S.: Goddamnit! Another haircut... though maybe this one was kinda needed actually.

.

Its not that out of the ordinary for a yonger player to run one on ones with better competition. Childish....err maybe?

Nabe and Chukie all got the same punishment as Momoharu, you'll see how they make up for it next week.

Started watching this show as there is a lack of shows to watch this season and so I thought I'd catch up.

The show started promisingly enough but it is yet another show that I can't for the life of me see what they are trying to get across. A relative midget is trying to play basketball and all the things that you would expect happen. He cannot beat these guys with his height. He joins up with a bunch of delinquents who either have not played for a long time or just can't play. Predictably, they lose pretty much every game that they play.

He meets a girl and they seem to be good friends and fairly close, this girl gets really close to his mum and grandmother, even sleeps at his house, and then she decides that she likes someone else. Just after his mum dies! And begins acting weirdly around him after thinking how much he must be suffering.

All the while, the main character, apart from about a week, is laughing like a madman while basically failing at everything. This writer of this must be some kind of masochist. Checked out the manga to see if it would improve, it doesn't. Apparently there are over 600 chapters of this nonsense.

It looks like this is the rebirth. Can't wait to see where this goes.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

You can definitely get a sense that this series gets a lot of inspiration from Slam Dunk, like Momoharu getting his hair cut off the same way Sakuragi did.

About time to put Shigeyoshi's court to good use and while we're at it let's get some gains, I mean, why not, the family is loaded after all.

Satsukiu sensei on the other hand :S I honestly never bothered with what teachers have to sacrifice in order to be there for their clubs.

New haircuts for everyone and Kite is challening college students. Imagine doing this in rl.

Amazing episode. Yasuhara & the rest are not forgotten. They have not given up either.

Momoharu visiting Satsuki sensei, apologising, showing that he wants to change. Even some development on sensei’s part & how he has grown to admire them. And that hair cut at the end. Momoharu, I can’t wait to see how else he grows. He has come such a long way. But as Kaname & Chiaki has mentioned, he sure has a “weird” sense of responsibility, always carrying all the burdens & being harsh on himself. I love him!

Tobi & his sister’s phone call was sweet. He sure loves his sister.

L O L @ Momoharu meeting Kaname on the way back. Love the unicorn puke.

Love Nao’s doodles on their training lists. They sure take her training seriously. Also loved when they were training at Kaname’s

The SOL development are always amazing. Can’t say the same for the animation during their matches. That’s all this anime lacks for me. I’m fine with the pacing & the outcomes of the matches. The entire narrative works well & resonates with me. It’s a great coming-of-age. Animation aside, it would have been perfect for me. I love these characters (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)

Having a lot of anime knowledge, I can safely assume the new haircut indicates a fresh start where we'll see a newly improved Momoharu who is stronger than his past self albeit at the cost of looking less intimidating
