----------------------------------------
Intense match still. The score gap isn't far.

Looks like Rakuzan is watching their competition so I guess Akashi is scouting out his competition. Good to see Kagami making some score as well. This match imo overall hasn't been as strong as the previous but still lives up to the hype on most parts. Can't say I'm surprised about Kise for getting impatient at the sidelines. He wants to kick some ass~

I like the look in those eyes of his.

How others think is scary.

lol @ the two sempais' quarrel because of what both teams feel about winning. They seem to do better when they fight, though. Both teams are very passionate about winning. The red team enters. Both Kimura-san's character and Kuroko cannot wait, so they went back when under 4 mins.

Kimura-san's character went full power with his perfect copy. His power is not much, but they still cannot go pass it. They still have to, though.

Kaijo is the best. But no worries Seirin,you have the unbeatable special move called "plot armor"...not even Kise can copy that one.

why oh why this isn't Kise no Basketbal ?

I truly, truly want Kaijou to win but knowing Fujimaki-sensei we all know what's gonna happen.

Felt bad for Kise tho. He must've been really pressured by their loss against Touou back then.

The tension between the two teams were really nice. Kaijo treating the lost as a lost and with Seirin sort of seeing it as just a practice match.

Kaijo's determination was quite admirable. No gap is not within Kise's reach, the perfect copy being used for even Kuroko's pass! The whole different presence with Kise coming onto the court... great episode!

I like Seirin and I'm GLAD this is called Kuroko no Basket, not Kise no Basket.

That end card though. Teppei and Hyuuga cosplaying for Riko. ^^

They had trouble double teaming Kagami before, now only one person is necessary to hold him down.

Hyuga's and Kiyoshi's relationship reminds me of the rivalry between Legolas and Gimli in LOTR.

Wow, they always said he couldn't copy Kuroko's moves because he's the invisible man.

But I guess they also did say that he couldn't copy GoM moves, so it was only a matter of time.

But that Ignite Pass Kai copy though... I thought Ignite Pass Kai was supposed to be only catchable by very strong players like Kagami and Aomine?

OH MY GOD YES, Kise copying Kuroko was the best moment in the episode because Kuroko was the only thing he couldn't copy and he did it


Loved seeing my baby Kise finally being put in action! We know the end of this match, but don't you worry we all know your ankle injury had to be put in the story or so... Anyway I loved seeing Kagami being the god he is, seeing Aomine and Akashi in the episode and I'm now waiting for the Kise vs Kuroko final part.

The animation is still bad compared to the 2nd season.
The way they animated ankle break is weird. I mean, Kise was just standing in place and then Kagami stumbled.
And for a moment it looked like Kagami and Kise are flying.

2nd point I won't refute.

1st point- well, I guess they were trying to show how fast Kise accelerates (Aomine's ability which he copied) and Akashi's ankle break being used in the same instant, but in sequence? (or something)

Pretty nice episode. When Kise entered, the hype was real :D

And you know guys... if Kaijou was the main team, they would have plot armor as well. That's for each team too, so don't complain about it.

Usually copies are not as par as the original, so that's probably why.
I hope the game ends in the next episode, but I feel like it might be stretched to two lol: 2 episodes for the last 4 minutes of the game - imagine that. I can't wait for Seirin to go all-out as well. It will be a nice episode (or episodes lol)~

Was waiting for Kise to get back on the game. His Perfect Copy is just unstoppable. I love it when things are heating up in the game. And what a surprise when I witnessed Kise copying Kuroko's Ignite Pass. >.<

It was also fun watching Hyuuga's and Kiyoshi's little squabble. xD

Also, the ignite pass kai loses its spin and velocity after it has traveled over a long distance (not canon, just physics). Furthermore, Kobori caught the ball with his back facing the hoop with both hands. Contrast that with Kagami who caught the ball nearer to its source, with one hand, facing the hoop and while in the air.

Lastly, it was probably not Kobori's first try at catching the pass. Kasamatsu was the one who revealed the time limit of PC, meaning that Kaijo would have previously known about PC in training. Not much of a stretch to reason that Kise might have used PC and ignite pass kai in particular in training.

Still kind of sad that the Ignite Pass got "nerfed" like that, it could even get past Aomine in the first go - but that Kise though ...

I do feel bad for him and Kaijo, but his Perfect Copy just feels way too overpowered (now that his 5 minute limit has been removed, too) and I still don't really know how I'm supposed to feel about the PC :|

well anyway, looking forward to next Saturday again~

This match is getting good.
Lol at Hyuga and Kioshi arguing. Still they are a good combo.
Kise and Kuroko back on the court for the final quarter.
Kise not holding anything back and using Perfect Copy from the start.
He can copy Kuroko's Ignite Pass Kai as well. He is too freaking good.

It seems people weren't off when they said this game sucked ass. Though season 3 sucks in general so far, its only saving grace being the Shutoku and Rakuzan game. It doesn't help that this game features Kaijo, the most boring team after Seirin.

This game dragged on.

In general Kuroko became plain games, with same thing repeating itself. All the comedy and plot/character progression from S1 has been lost. S2 had a little, and S3 is just pure games, with nothing new.

Would love to see Kise enter zone. If only Kise is not injured...
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

gotta love how they take timeouts without actually calling a timeout.. just having a chat for 5 minutes in the middle of the game.

Kise confirmed most OP character in this show, will probably still lose because of his injury since they have to nerf him somehow.

you have a 15 points lead with 4 minutes to go, all you have to do is dribble and waste time by using the entire shot clock and not force shots + make them foul you.. I know KnB doesn't use a lot of basketball logic but c'mon man this is getting really dumb lol.

season3 is a big disappointment so far.

There's already a good handful of things KnB doesn't cover that's actually really important in real basketball (no real emphasis on a deep bench and infinite stamina to play the whole game have always been my biggest gripes). It's sort of foolish to expect that to change now.

Haha, yeah. xD As a person who watches basketball avidly in real life, I do appreciate the occasional snippets of good fundamental basketball in KnB (Hyuuga and Teipei did have an awesome moment with a screen to exploit a mismatch, leading to a dunk), but expecting that throughout the anime would be quite a drag and simply wouldn't make sense to many casual viewers unless the show decided to explain all those goodies since the beginning.


Meanwhile, I really need this OST track to come out! >:O The OST that plays when Kise starts using his Perfect Copy is sooo sexy~ ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

3) season3 is a big disappointment so far.


1) This is a common shounen sports quirk and an ongoing KnB thing. Complaining about it is pointless. Midorima froze time to talk to Kagami in season 1. I'm also pretty sure Sakuragi was frequently talking shit to other players on the court in Slam Dunk.

2) Is that preemptive hindsight? And if only you were coach when this happened (12 point lead with 40 seconds remaining): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jbtt6OGLms You could have told Spurs (in hindsight) to dribble and waste time. Popovich, one of the greatest coaches in the NBA would have been called dumb by you, in hindsight again.

And I love how this is only #10 in the top 10 comebacks in NBA history list: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/735341-10-greatest-comebacks-in-nba-history/page/2

But somehow a 15 point lead with 4 minutes remaining is apparently too big of a lead to logically overcome even for a fantasy shounen anime. I'm expecting more armchair coaching when the final match comes around. :)

3) Even looking at this season through the lens of a easily dissatisfied person, I could only find 3 bad episodes this season and there are 16 more to go. The Shutoku vs Rakuzan had astounding animation and hype. This match could have been great if it had half the animation budget of the above match. This episode (at least the latter half) was epic in the manga (only fully colored manga chapter in the series). Basically Kise got the short shrift in the animation department this season. The animation was great when he was getting owned by Haizaki lol.
