THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Yes, Akashi FINALLY makes his official debut!

This is awesome. Dat eyes.
Okay I remember this from the manga with the scissors: http://imgur.com/mv1mkyJ
They should of added a more menacing look on Akashi though...

I like where this current match against Aomine is going as well. Not bad.

Still the same OP and ED.

So it was his own idea to go back to LA for training. So the male coach does not think Kuroko has a good potential. Wow @ the seiyus in this anime, because I just heard Hatano-san's voice on one of the characters, too. Miracle Team gathering during the start of the real one. HiroC's character is scary.

First vs. Suwabe-san's character team. Ending with the enemy got first points and Kuroko's action.

lol~ CM for HiroC's upcoming single (just in time for his character's appearance!), and Kuroko's voice for "Boku no hou ga umai mon! (I'm much better)" in preview.

With that Hiroshi Kamiya voice too. Yes.

Furihata is so random lol. Totally out of place during that scene with the Genereation of Miracles.
Akashi with them scissors. Cut Kagami's face... then just starts cutting his hair. So weird lol.

And the match between Touou and Seirin starts. Aomine with an alley oop finish already haha
What's up with Izuki lately? He's been turning the ball over way too much.

The Winter Cup starts now. An alley-oop to start of the game between Seiren and Touou. Kuroko is about to his ignite pass kai at the end there. Can't wait for the next episode.

Akashi gives off that Gaara vibe...

Finally Touou VS Seirin!
Looks like they've improved their teamwork as well.

Damn... cliffhanger right when Kuroko's about to unleash his improved Ignite Pass.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

Whoa, this episode was intense. The meeting between the GoM was nicely done, and Akashi's debut (now that we don't get just a view of his backside) was brilliantly done; the scissors bit was hilarious to watch and it just shows the sheer unpredictability and supposed superiority of Akashi. (Although it was stated somewhere in the manga i think that he knew he was going to dodge)

The Teiko memories between Kuroko and Aomine was nicely done, and it was so typical of the episode to cut off at the ignite pass kai cliffhanger.

Saying that though, i can't wait for the zone to finally appear and the Yosen match that follows. I hope the next few episodes follow the same standard of quality that was shown today owo

Awesome ep.

The training parts with everyone at the start were nice.

Loved the GoM meeting. Damn Akashi is too friggin creepy hahaha.

An intense start to the match there. Can't wait for Kuroko's pass animated well it is epically animated in the OP XD

Tora's (Riko's dad) reactions to "Kacchan" and "Mabo" were hilarious XDXDXD
Lol'd at Takao saying he'll call him Mabo when he gets the chance hahaha XD

Well, can't wait for this match. Gonna be epic ^^

This episode is just packed of awesomeness.

All of the Generation of Miracles together. Hell yeah.
Also love Kagami's appearance. I thought they would delete this scissor scene, but they adapted the manga properly.

Now, can't wait for another Aomine vs. Kagami! Also, looking forward to seeing the new opening next week.

And they have to end with Ignite Pass Kai not shown! What a cliffhanger!

FINALLY Akashi made his debut. I was literally shivering like Furihata-kun when the miracles were all reunited.
The OST during Akashi's debut was actually quite fitting. Such dramatic vibe.

I already know what's going to happen, but this match is going to be so 'effin epic. I can't wait.

What a great episode and it looks like Tora's old teammates are the coaches of the other schools.

WOW, Akashi is a fucking psycho :D He got me with this scissors, even though I was sure where this is going. I'm kinda surprised that Kamiya-san uses his 'kinda gay' voice for him, but oh well, I guess it suits him.

I KNOW, I laughed so hard when I heard it. Sorry Kuroko, but it sounds like some jutsu. Or even better, bankai lolz :D

Anyway, can't wait for the next episode already >w< And for new op and end <3

So is that Kuroko's bankai now or just another form of his shikai?

Very good episode. I like those intense matches.

About the ending, I didn't know that skill was named ignite pass, and now there is a ignite pass kai.

Also, the megane fox dude with the Kansai accent needs to shut up a bit.

Holysheet.Im excited all the way and all, but isnt pace a little too fast? i mean, last episode we got to know that they will freaking play with Touou, and now they have already started.I kind of wanted some 1-2 episodes training ''arc'' but oh well, cant really complain eh.I just tought we will see Seirin vs Yosen before Touou o_0
Anyways Aomine OPOP

Also, i cant leave before saying something about Akashi, especially since hes got Kamiya Hiroshi's voice which fits him perfectly.He seems like an interesting character.Weird, sadistic, but interesting.Cant wait to see more of him.

4 chapters were covered in this episode! 4! This gives me great hope that the Yosen match will be covered this season.

Midorima wouldn't lend his scissors to Murasakibara but Akashi? Not a problem. Maybe Midorima doesn't want grease on his scissors or maybe he doesn't want to get into an argument with Akashi because Akashi always wins. :)

With the bigger stadium/crowd and media coverage, this match beats the previous 2 matches in atmosphere alone.

Oh, isn't this just wonderful?! Another asshole's been added to the show! And this one just screams EVIL...CRAZY...and DERANGED!

Gotta admit, though...I'm looking forward to seeing Aomine on the court. He is straight street ball and I LOVE it!

And...just what is this promise that the Generation of Miracles made with Akashi?

Those scissors xD It's a "Text from a fangirl", haha

Akashi, huh... I am not a fan, seems like a proud prodigy or something who knows how to leave a strong impression and people love (but I don't coz his personality isn't what I like... atleast so far)

Ignite Pass Kai sounds promising
