| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Decent Episode. I haven't read the manga but i guess the only way to block that green hair miracle is from behind. |
| This is such a great series i kicked myself for not watching it when it first started since i was apprehensive about being about basketball and im not to into sports them animes but this anime is awesome. Even though yes it about basketball but the story is great the characters too so it won me and i pretty much marathon all the episodes so far and love it. Kuro is such a cute/hot is definitely my favorite and Kagamicchi is too. -START- Kuro may not be strong but he got skillz he the Boss lol specially team but with Kagamicchi. That big Dad has nothing on them lol. Kagamicchi can jump. Dad got owned!!!! lol who is ur daddy now lol. Amazing how they have been winning so far. ~ Shutoku high, 1 of the 3 kings of Toykyo Game starts~ Loved the look on Midorima's face when he though he was going to shake hands with Kagamicch but then Kagami wrote in his hand his number and name lol i thought may be Kagamicch would say " Call me" XD. Midorima really swallow hard there lol. lol i just can believe how Midorima is soo superstitious. the star of this episode  :O Midorima looking like the hot stuff just walking a way and not looking while he made the shot just like cool guys do in movies during an explosion just walking away lol. Kagamicchi germs, i dont mind get that XD. -END- Cant wait for next ep... it get sme soo excite! |

| I really like the "The Generation of Miracles" they are handsome :Q___ inc. Kuroko and because of these kind of awesome anime I end up reading the manga >.< |
| Why are they shouting the play instead of using signals by hand, lol. Im curious if Serein will win or not. Can they possibly beat two strong teams consecutively without enough rest? I hope their coach will have some of a use this time. |

I hope their coach will have some of a use this time. TBH i hope they lose. LOL @ your coach comment. I just hope later in the series Kuroko learns to dripple good i want him to have a good crossover. He also needs more endurance and need 2 learn how to make lay ups. I dont mind him not shooting good just give him some other features. |
Sprawls said: If he shot so high couldn't they block the ball before it touch the ring ? I know you cannot touch the ball once it is in contact with the ring but I dont know if it is agains't to block it. That would be called goal tending which is against the rules and would giv the team that shot the ball 2 or 3 points depending on where he shot it. |
| Good episode, kind of bland considering the rest, but good nonetheless. Lol, I kept staring at Midorima's stuffed bear. It was just so cute~ Really liked the pictures at the end of each episode. |

| Midorima has the most ridiculous arc ever. Despite his crazy shooting, he must have some sort of weakness. It was a good thing Kuroko was rested all those games because they'll surely need him for the next two games. And the rest of Japan is apparently not good at basketball with all the blowouts. |
| Awesome anime = me reading manga... I've been reading it since I saw the first episode. <3 Can't believe I didn't find it sooner. I'm glad that this isn't like Prince of Tennis where the majority of the schools are important and ends up introducing like 20 teams. I enjoy this anime every week. KAGAMI GERMS!! |
 Darn they went the lazy route and reused last weeks Kuroko's misdirect animation twice this episode :/. Anyway decent episode, walking away from the basket as the ball falls in was somehow as epic as characters walking away from explosions. I dont think Seirin will be able to win this tournament, impossible |

| hoho...looks like Midorima and Kuroko is going to face off next week. |
 |
Wow, that Midorima guys shooting is awesome. Well I still think Kurokos and Kagamis combination will counter Midorima. |
|
| Dang thats a freaken high arc shot O_O |
 |
| Another awesome episode. Kagami is such a beast. Intimidated "Dad" and made him pretty pissed lol. xD I can't get enough of the Kuroko + Kagami duo scenes, gets me so pumped every time. Holy shit, Midorima is one insane shooter. Quirky personality and believes in luck/fortune. Geez Seirin got pulverised last year against the 3 kings, that embarrassing end score. D: So bloody excited for the next episodes though, Seirin's up against 2 of the Kings in a row, fark yeah. :D Kuroko and Kagami are hella excited unlike the rest who are scared shitless LOL. Also, Kagami Germs FTW! XD |

27CansOfTuna said: Darn they went the lazy route and reused last weeks Kuroko's misdirect animation It's not lazy, it's saving on budget. Around this time in series the money is a whole lot tighter. I went into this episode thinking about how the animation hasn't dropped noticeably, and then I noticed the reused cells and a few faces that were drawn less well than usual. It's unavoidable, most anime don't have the luxury of a limitless budget, I'm impressed with how consistent the animation here has been so far. A fairly good episode, though I feel there is something slightly amiss with the show. |
| The "Kagami germs" part killed me. And the coach is so hilarious! |
| I guess if Kegami jumps high enough he can block Midorima's shot..... maybe... |
 |
| Man this is fucking awesome. And more new epic BGM this episode. |
| Overall quite a decent episode, I'm really liking this show so far. The part where Kuroko was feeling restless for not being able to play in the matches was adorable w also kise appears in the next episode aaaahh |
| I also love this episode it's so cool and awesome!! can't wait for the next episode...and..... KUROKO~KUN KAWAII~~~~<3  ( I THINK THE NEXT EPISODE IS GONNA BE A ONE HELL OF A FIGHT FOR SEIRN...GO SEIRIN AND KUROKO~KUN) |

| I am not a big fan of those unreal arch shoots,infact I am not a big fan of anything unnatural in sports anime excluding supernatural sports anime. |
 |
| Another awesome episode. Loved seeing Seirin dominate for a change. So funny when they beat those idiots from the park. And naturally Shutoku was very impressive as well. I have no idea how they are going to beat both of those kings in one day. That's just ridiculous. As always, so excited for the next one. Can this please have more than 25 episodes? |

I was expecting some sort of realism in this show, but that "100% insane arc shooting" is just too absurd, even for anime. |
 |
| Pff. If anyone is watching this for realism (and somehow made it past the first episode even though LOL KUROKO IS "INVISIBLE" AND CAN DO RIDICULOUS TOUCH PASSES AT THIS LEVEL OF PLAY), I'll be nice and warn you to drop the show now. It only gets more and more unrealistic from here on out. You'll find very quickly that the author never meant to make something that was realistic. No use in complaining that the show/manga isn't something it never claimed to be. That would be just as useless as complaining that Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a terrible show because OMG HOW DO THEY HAVE SUCH ADVANCED SPACE TECHNOLOGY, THAT'S UNREALISTIC. |
| Midorima is...wow!!! Kuroko as always is so cute and Kagami a beast!!! |
| Nice episode, I'm looking forward to the next episode because it seems that it'll have an interesting match. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Decent episode. Although, I didn't enjoy it as much as the previous ones, mainly due to the pace of the episode... or maybe that's just me. |
 |
| I just love everything about this show. :Q I can't wait to see the other members of the Generation of Miracles. I'm too stubborn to read the manga, so yeah. ♥ |

Technology in some alternative or future universe has nothing to do with a guy shooting 100% in a world that seems to be ours and in a sport we all know and seen the best of the world and know very well that 100% is impossible and crazy for them let alone some school boy. 100% is like the ultimate hax. In a way it's more crazy even than the most absurd superpowers because it symbolizes absolute perfection. Also outside their game the characters are portrayed pretty realistic and that makes it hard to accept the unrealistic parts. |

Also outside their game the characters are portrayed pretty realistic and that makes it hard to accept the unrealistic parts. Really? A dude whose every line is a pun is realistic? A coach who can see people's physical attributes and potentials as numbers as long as they take their shirts off is realistic? A guy who is so superstitious that he carries around whatever item a HOROSCOPE says is the lucky item every day of his life is realistic? And another guy who says things like "I am a shadow and I want you to be my light" to a guy he barely met is realistic? And yes, these are all outside of the games. I want to live the kind of life you're living. Sounds much more interesting than mine. Real people aren't like that where I live. One final time, regardless of what you think characters outside of games act like, the author never claimed this was going to be realistic. How can anyone get past the premise of a player who can go "invisible" through "misdirection" (even in OUTSIDE games when he isn't even trying to misdirect any body) and complain about the lack of realism within the games. Whatever. I'll continue to watch and read Kuroko and love it for what it is, instead of complaining about what it isn't. If I wanted to watch real basketball I'd watch the NBA. |

| A 100% high arc 3 point shooter, wow. I don't even know what to say about this lol. Anime is anime, after all. (In a good way) It was nice seeing Kagami beat daddy like that and even earn his respect. I didn't expect them to zoom through 3 games though, but I guess those teams were just fodder. At least the Gen-5 will be the main "focus" from here on out. Also, 2 games in one day? Semi-finals and finals? I don't think that's even legal lol. Oh well, they'll definitely pull through it. |
 |
| Before I forget this show has epic BGM ;P Also I really like all these characters ... Midorima is pretty awesome XD 100% 3 point shooter? Holy crap lol O_O Does he have something extra he hasn't shown yet? Hmm ... PLUS HE'S TSUNDERE AHAHAHA XD Oh and he shoots with his left hand too ... hrm ;P The tournament thing kind of confuses me. So right now they're playing in Tokyo only right? So why did they play all three of the kings last year? Unless the finals are a round robin kind of thing? That kind of confuses me for the semi-finals and finals being on the same day though. Or maybe it's for seeding purposes for the national-level competition? Grahhhh T_T Well looks like they're gonna start feeling the heat soon. Two matches in one day seems like a good challenge, seeing as they've been cruising through, even without playing Kuroko. Guess Kagami can really bring up their level :P (Like I've said before ... basketball OTL) Although given that they'll be facing Shutoku in the finals, it's pretty much a given they'll win their semi-final game against that other S king school |

New competition is pretty damn tough I'd say: |
 |
| That green haired dude is unbelievable lol , hope he has bad luck at the match against Seirin . |
 |
UnbornMVs said: That green haired dude is unbelievable lol , hope he has bad luck at the match against Seirin . He probably will have bad luck. That's probably the only reason they added that "luck" thing. But I hope they lose against him in this tournament. If I'm not wrong, both teams qualify, at least it was like that in Dear Boys, but that manga is way older than this, so maybe the rules changed. But I kinda doubt that Kuroko will lose... Also nice, Kagami landed a shot for a change. His dunks got tiring a bit. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| What's with that ridiculous 100% FG especially 3 point shots!? :O |
 |
| that arc is ridiculous.... they can try swiping him from behind? anyway a decent episode |
| Hm, I wonder how they'll counter the green guy. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| The new challenge look tough. If only his luck runs out. |
 |
| Wow, not really surprised that they are winning everything （￣へ￣)'' but still is little bit predictable... TOO predictable... Anyway, I still love it <3 Not sure about Midorima though, I don't think I'm going to like him (◕︿◕) but who knows? Well, he is handsome, like ALL of them ( ﾟдﾟ) Gonna watch next episode now... |
| so many happened in this episode .. lol at "DAD" calling Kagami idiot XD |
