Liked the new OP, hopefully they only keep it for the Teiko arc.

Pretty good episode, starting off with Kuroko getting into the first string, and hopefully next episode we can learn more about Kuroko's childhood friend.

I'm guessing they'll be doing the same thing last season and change the visuals.

Woot! Teiko arc!!!

Yay this is awesome, now we can learn more about Kuroko as we hardly know anything about him. We don't know where he lives, his parents or if he has any siblings.

This is awesome, can't wait~

5/5 love it.

Well that was a great episode. Finally into the Teiko Arc.
SO cool to see all the GOM's when they were in middle school.
Akashi helping Kuroko discover his powers.
Poor Kuroko for feeling nervous and getting subbed out.
Get to see the Teiko captain Shuzo Nijimura.
Loved seeing Kuroko all confident in the end and showing off his misdirection and becoming a part of the first string.
OP and ED were pretty good.

Did they fully cover the manga chapters? I dunno why, but it felt rushed, I'm pretty sure they're missing some parts out

They missed Kuroko meeting Haizaki, some of Niji's faces and even more stuff.

I read the relevant manga chapters again and it does seem like a number of scenes were skipped....but for a very good reason. A few were scenes that Kuroko was absent from. Since he is the one telling the story, it would make no sense that he would be able to recall conversations that he wasn't privy to.

Like these scenes for example:

http://i.imgur.com/054DHZR.jpg

Here we have Aomine overhearing the coach and Nijimura's conversation.

Whereas in the anime, it made more sense to simply skip to Aomine already arguing with the coach when Kuroko came around.

They also changed this scene for that very reason.

So Akashi can be nice, didn't see that coming. It's really weird seeing Kuroko show emotions, especially when he's crying (I know that in one of earlier seasons he cried, but his face wasn't shown). It's also pitiful for him that they wanted to throw him out :(
But the best thing: Aomine talking about awesome pass that can bend. Whoosh! (he makes an awesome sound for that (¬‿¬) )

So far it's great, no complaint whatsoever. I see that people are saying it's rushed, I don't feel that it's rushed, but it definitely seems to be moving fast, from Kuroko getting into Teiko's basketball club at the beginning to Kuroko getting to play in an official tournament by the end of the episode.. I really hope that they don't rush this flashback arc, not after dragging out Kise vs Kagami.

This episode proves that Kuroko/Aomine > Kuroko/Kagami.

First episode of the Teiko arc!! :)

Everyone is so cute looking. Midorima's deep voice was a little amusing. :'D He's only 12/13!

I wish they'd slow down a bit and let us enjoy this arc more though.

Overall, this episode was refreshing to see. I liked the choice of OP and ED, however I thought the BGM was a little lacking in the middle which made it seem a little slow in some places even though it pretty much sped past a good chunk of the Teiko Arc. Haizaki being punished by Nijimura was a sight for sore eyes. If only he stayed this cute and innocent....

I signed up for myanimelist just to respond to this. If anyone wishes to read this arc in the manga, please, please DO NOT READ MANGAPANDA'S TRANSLATION. I read a few chapters, including what the user above posted, and oftentimes what they write is the OPPOSITE of what is being said. The Akashiscans version is the only way to go.

I like Akashi when he's nice. He feels more like a villain to me in the current timeline.

and wow, the purple haired guy dunking at like 12 years old? The hell. Still not better than DeMar Derozan dunking at 6th grade though.

Seeing them in middle school is actually a lot of fun. I wonder what happened to Kuroko's friend? Probably something bad if there's a whole arc for it. Looks like my prediction that it was Akashi was wrong lol oh well :3

That was seriously epic!! Awesome episode way better than the ones before. I'm glad to see Aomine play!! They look so cute in this episode, Midorima's voice doesnt suit him though. It's been a while since I've heard the coach's VA, it fits him.


Kise next time and probably



This arc is going to be the best.

Cool new OP. I think I could get used to it, it could even end up in my favs of this season.

"Those on the 2nd string, wear a wig next time. Or try your best to grow out some colored fringes."

Aomine's trust in Kuroko is remarkable. And so Kuroko the Assaissin was born (seriously Kuroko is like a Ninja)

Great episode. Dat serene ED was beautiful.

I'd much rather they spend more episodes on this than on the final. That final was like a slap in the face. Anyways, good episode, better animation... looking forward to the remainder of the Teikou arc, I suppose.

Hated how much is cut out of the chapters the episode panned. Why bother with that one OVA of Kuroko and Aomine meeting/ it would have been better if the anime had just stuck to the manga from the beginning instead of having this one OVA to the side and then the main anime missing things.

Anyway my main problem with the pacing and stuff left out is when things start going downhill in this arc, I seriously doubt it will have the same emotional impact. You miss small moments that flesh out the characters and their bonds and then it won't be as sad, etc when something bad occurs.

Also the final match in this manga is terrible, so I'm really not looking forward to it being longer. Contemplating dropping this anime after the last Teikou Arc episode....

Light hearted mention to break up my negative rant: Nijimura, a middle schooler with looks going on 21, and a voice going on 43.

me, 2 minutes in: GASPPP I KNOW THAT VOICE (but looks it up on MAL anyway)

Nice flashback, I was expecting to see Akashi "destroying" Murasakibara in this episode though. I hope it happens in the next one, it's gonna be epic and we will get to know a bit more about Akashi and his "second personality".
