I'm not really digging what they are doing to the best arc in the entire manga.

Haven't read the manga so don't know about how well it's adapted, don't care either, cause I'm enjoying this flashback arc far more than the previous match and most of season 2. Awesome, some enjoyment before the supposed massive fail final.

Aomine's character transitioning is WONDERFUL TO SEE
HOLY SHIT

I didn't really care about it back in the 2nd season, but now that I'm seeing their past firsthand, SHEEEIT!!!

This anime wouldn't be so bad if it was more SoL and drama, and you know,

MAYBE IF IT STARTED OUT LIKE THIS FROM THE FIRST EP OF THE FIRST SEASON

We had to deal with so many shit just to get to this great part. What the fuck mane

I really enjoyed seeing dark Akashi. Kamiya's purring voice suited him to a T. Can't wait till next week!

The cat fights between Aomine and Kise, and Aomine randomly slapping Kise's face was adorable~! <3

This was an interesting and amusing episode.

Of course after having so much success in a team that consists of super star players, you will have plenty of problems, which is the discrepancy between egos (not that KNB's characters have an ego btw..)

Still the episode didn't have satisfying amounts of actual basketball playing. Come on already

Not bad, Its actually pretty cool how they are looking in to their past's with such depth, Is this Adapted from that spin off manga that Kuroko has?
I personally think that this will be the last season of kuroko. They will probably have 3 or so more episodes as them being in middle school then they will go back to the game with Akashi

The ova is only about kise past in teiko.
They are trimming the screentime of my favorite charater nijimura.
U are happy with only 4 episodes for the flashback
And 10 episodes for the final match which is going to get really dragged out.

I really like how we can see how the Generation of Miracles evolve.
Poor Aomine; he's too strong. (T_T)
Poor Ogiwara; hopefully, Kuroko can carry your dream.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

I am really enjoying the Teiko arc so far, though judging from how things are proceeding it is going to end sooner than I would want it to :/ I must probably rewatch Tip Off and the one with Aomine to fill the void. I wonder how it's possible for the match Rakuzan vs. Seirin to need so many episodes..I hope it won't seem too dragged.
Aomine's change is gradually more apparent. I think it's pretty reasonable for him to get disappointed with how things are turning out. And his rivalry with Kise is funny xD Ogiwara's call was really sad.

This episode felt slow and boring, really missing the action :( Hope we get more action next week.


This is a nice change of pace imo, considering that most of the season's episodes so far included consecutive matches.

That's too bad, even though Momo told everyone her love story with Kuroko, it would have been nice to see it again. Compared to having one scene with Momo indifferent to Tetsu, then the next scene with Momo falling over heels for him.

Yeah, it would've been nice if they included this. I thought I might have watched it in an OVA, but I guess I recalled it from the manga.

Nice episode. Some repetitive stuff but a good episode nevertheless.
So, Ogiwara lost already uh? But that doesn't explain why it is Kuroko's fault he gave up on basket....
Hope next episode bring lots of new stuff *.*

so Kuroko's friend quit basketball just because his team lost before they can play against Kuroko's team? Well I think there's more to it than that.

This episode is good and this arc is good but it's getting more boring. They should end this flashback arc asap.

Kise and Aomine were funny, cute how Kuroko weirdly got told to look after Kise, guess because they are the two newest on the team.

Midorima and Murasakibara were funny too.

Poor Kuroko's friend.

Aomine can't help being too strong though, awww :(

Aomine really shows what being on the top is like. It's lonely. But then I also think he set it up for himself. If he was bored from being better than everyone, he should at least have helped his teammates improve so that they could match him.

When I first started watching I didn't like Midorima or Aomine, but with these flashback arcs they're growing on me.
Even if the future is locked or erased I won't end this prayer because I want to convey my real feelings to you

kuroko said that he did something that his friend will never forgive him, i wonder if they cut it or it just didn't happened yet.

i know that kuroko said that the team begin to break at some point, but i feel it's already half broken, except kuroko and aaomine and kise, the rest is not the biggest friends.

and i really love the pace and directing, though i feel again they are cutting parts from the manga.

Kuroko receiving his uniform :3

Too bad we didn't see Nijimura in high school. He stepped back as a Captain because of circumstances out of his control, but it's still unsettling how Akashi came to receive the position, as if fate was at work. That felt like rhe beginning of gloomier days.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Ok, the heavy part came sooner than I expected. This arc, by getting me to like Teiko players even more, reinforces my impression that instead of being a hero in this story, Taiga's actual role here is to push the GoM and save them by doing so. Ironically this doesn't work for some of the best characters, like Kise and Midorima, since they are already hard workers, even after the GoM breakup.

I'm sorry but this rushed flashback is just a complete bullshit. Cutting off all the great moments from manga like Momoi slowly falling in love and Kise accepting Kuroko to his "-chi" club out of "who the fuck is this dull guy" status.
I guess that I'll be reading this part of the manga myself then.

Those bits and pieces of flashback we had all along making much more sense now. Guess Akashi becoming the leader did ensure winning but not as a "team" anymore.

Akashi becoming captain as a first year is a serious flex. Akashi has a dual personality and instead of guys getting him therapy they stay quiet😂😂 Seeing how the team collapsed and imploded was pretty cool. Akashi needs to be a talent scout with the way he can detect talent. Kuroko has always been passionate in making sure his team plays as a team and works hard.

I don't buy the "Akashi Dual/split personalit" thing. I think Akashi has only single/mono personality: a bad one.

Nijimura seems like such a great guy and player - it's a shame we didn't see him during Season 1 & S 3
