LOL I really did not expect Kuroko to punch him... he just doesn't seem like someone who would do that for some reason. Like they always say in sports there is no I in TEAM. Good episode though hope they can do a come back

Now yo usee why i bitched some episodes back about the coach. Plain and simple they need a new damn coach. I guess because i watch the NBA a lot. If your player is that tired and doing stupid shit you do a timeout even if you dont sub him out. Yet she looks like a damn fool. Not sure how many of you actually like basketball but it's my favorite sport.

Episode was good just the coach is making me sick if she was just acting like a real coach i wouldnt complain. I kind of wish they had a coach like Giant Killing.

Dude she is like 17 and she has only been coaching for a year. Be realistic, she obviously won't be as wise and tactical as other coaches.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. They're on a budget, so they may be cutting the quality...let's hope the next few episodes return to their higher quality animation! (;__;)

I wish this anime came out every day!!!

The whole time Kagami was acting the way he was, I kept thinking Kuroko should do something, which he did, but never expected him to punch Kagami.

I really want to know what Kuroko can do : )
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Omfg this show just gets better and better.

Kagami's jumping ability is amazing.

The cliffhangers are an absolute killer too. Just when I thought I was going to find out what Kuroko meant when he said he'd step it up a notch the show ends. ARGH!!

I dunno about Japan, but there are definitely less timeouts in HS basketball than in the NBA.

In this case, the coach would be wise to reserve timeouts for actual coaching (for new strategies, sets, etc.) rather than to swap players or advance the ball.

I was so excited for Kuroko's "plan" but then the ED played :C

I always wondered about Kagami's 'ability' especially after the game with "papa". I was happy that Kuroko punched some sense into Kagami, I hated how Kagami thought about how he wants to win especially when he said that they should pass the ball more to him, I mean yeah you want to win, but it's better if you win it with others.

Damn, now we all have to wait for another week

Kagami this episode, so much fun to watch. He was the mayor of Block City for a bit there, had a feeling he would get one of Midorima's shots eventually. Bit sad that his legs gave way, he was single handedly dominating them. That bench scene with Kuroko was the best though, totally did not expect those punches.

The Shutoku locker room though, lol at the teammates wanting to break Midorima's raccoon. The guy is dedicated though, fixing his nails at halftime because his "shots depend on them." Once again, cannot wait for next week. Hopefully it's the end of this match, really do not want another cliffhanger about Shutoku.

I was like... "Nice job Kuroko" when Kuroko punch Kagami. But when Kagami punch Kuroko I was like..."Damn you Kagami!"

Anyway, why this anime always end in the good part? (=_=)

Shutoku coach: "That player jumps so high. There's no way he can be Japanese."

That part was hilarious.

Kuroko punching Kagami was so unexpected. That's probably my favorite scene from this anime so far.

Btw, Kagami's attitude in this episode reminded me of this

Holy shit that was crazy. Kagami going all-out and only thinking about winning, not knowing that he's acting like the Generation of Miracle members. His insane jumping abilities were pretty damn awesome though. He was able to touch the ball as Midorima was trying to score.

Kuroko's punches was totally unexpected but man it really calmed Kagami down. Kuroko's gonna do something awesome next episode, dammit can't wait.

I thought the same, but that would be lame.
Nice episode, but next episode should be much better since Kuroko's secret tactic will come on.
The ending picture looks like a gay club or something.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Man i was putting off watching this show thinking it was a comedy basketball joke. Boy was I dead wrong. This is the best show of the season that I'm surprised not many are watching. This has the same vibe as One Outs.

I read the manga meanwhile, and I just get the impression that the manga had much more movement' x_X even though manga panels are stills by definition. Maybe it's just that it's more obvious in anime form.
