| 9/10 Very very very good sports anime. This final game was super...no uber gripping. The season on the whole was fantastic. Each and every game kept me on edge. There will most definitely be a season two. Preview of winter cup appearing in the ED sequence and the final lines of dialogue as well. It's just a cost vs gain for the studio I'm sure. Support the series in some fashion monetarily and we should get a season 2. Yes we will! |

| I don't even know what to say anymore. It's been in my favorites for a while, but still: 10/10 <3 |
| At least they put some effort into the animation budget this episode. Not really feeling anything honestly from this last episode. Guess we'll just have to wait for the OVA's. |

I think another season is more likely than OVA adaptation. Dunno if the content will cover 25 episodes (haven't read the manga) but I would think it will either be S2 or nada. The OVAs announced aren't related to the build up to the winter cup |

| Wow... great ending. Kise really worked hard this battle. Aomine basically dominated the whole thing. Season 2 is highly possible due to its popularity and the talk about the Winter Cup. I want to see Akashi and Murasakibara in action. I also want to see Kise |

I just remembered the OVA will be Ep 22.5 and not something after this episode. /sighs. |
| Great show, I'm glad this was 25 eps cause summer season was really boring. 7/10. Also, when Aomine knocked the ball off Kise, it should still have been Kaijo's ball, but w/e they probably still would have lost anyway lol. |
 |
| They would get another season if the sales were good ( and obviously the sales are good). Source materials ? -> plenty. Sales ? -> great Popular? -> one of the most popular shounen manga in Jap and how good is the anime adaptation? -> answer it yourself. A second season? -> why not? time is all that matters. |
| 2nd season when? 9/10. |

The OVAs announced aren't related to the build up to the winter cup it will be season 2 100%. u can bet on it. it has great ratings n all the stuff is sellign great and season 2 will be complete winter cup. i honestly thought they will still bring the part where kuroko tells kagami about his new move and shows him the used up ball which he used to train his new ability (he used up 5 balls ) |
| Epic episode! Gonna wait for next season, it's Kuroko's turn! 10/10 |
| A hint for season 2 there? YES PLEASE!! |
 |
| Wow, amazing. Need season 2, really. |
| Sad to see my 2nd favorite basketball anime to end (1st being slam dunk) But it was great ride loved everything about the show :) As far as 2nd seasons go i personally hope they wait at least a good year so they can distance themselves from the manga because although hadnt caught up they burning through material super fast and we all know how fillers go when they get too close I.E Bleach and Naruto lmao |
| Great ep but 1 thing is annoying Aomine won. |
 |
| OMG I have nothing to look forward to on Saturdays anymore. I need S2 Dx There HAS to be one with all that sneak peaks of the Winter Cup. I wonder who that random guy was that Kuroko did the ball punch against o: Must be important if they showed him. But anywho! I was soooo sad Kise's team didn't win!! I thought Kise finally got Aomine when he was going to pass to his captain-- it would've been awesome to beat him with Kuroko's principles, but alas. I guess Kuroko needs to be the one to do that! |
| Well the show was awesome from the start till the end. I'm really looking forward to next season. |
 |
| I feel so bad for Kise now... 0.0 SUZU... KENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! <3333333 IN THOSE BRIEF TWENTY SECONDS, YOU WON ME AGAIN! REALLY good ending. ^_^ Can't wait for season 2 and the OVAs, since it's OBVIOUS it's coming! And MORE SUZUKEN PLEASE! |
| "Aiming for the mark takes precision, balance, and patience." ....Screw that, let's shoot the damn thing! |
As promised, my reaction when Kise lost. Bring it on second season, need moar Kise;) |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| Sad that Kise lost but still a great episode. I remember seeing this for the first time when I randomly walked in a theater room at A-Kon. I've been hooked ever since. |
 |
| And here I was expecting Akashi to talk rather than a 2 second random scene lol Good episode regardless, I knew the outcome beforehand but it was intense regardless. Hoping there will be a season 2 sometime next year, I'm guessing if they do make one, maybe Spring 2013 Season? |
| I started bawling when Kise couldn't stand up. I... My feelings... I can't even. Kise, you are amazing. I wish you were real so I could tell you that. Kasumatsu, the Kaijo captain, is also a wonderful person. This anime is clearly the best of this season. I'm just... so overwhelmed. How will I be able to wait for season 2? HOW? And why the hell is this rated lower than Shitty Ass Online? I'm just gonna close this comment off with a genuine thank you to Production I.G. |
| That was a great end for a great series I'm looking forward to a season 2! Winter Cup!! 9/10 for me |
 |
| MOST INTENSE MATCH EVER MASTERPIECE 10/10 Give me season two NOW! I screamed my head off at seeing and hearing Murasakibara. I hope they have Akashi vs Midorima in the next season oh GOD ;____; KUROKO FOR LIFE |
 |
| Very good match! I can`t waitfor season 2 |
UnbornMVs said: SECOND SEASON ! NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW ! |
| no matter how good the copy, the copy is still just a copy and the ORIGINAL is different thing... I love Aomine and I love Kise... felt sad about Kise loss though.... but Amoine was amazing!!! anyways, waiting for SEC SEASON... better bring it ON and bring it fastttt duuudes :) |
 |
| so... when does the second season start? Kise bby ;A; |
| I did not expect to like this anime half as much as I ended up doing it. Why I didn't even pick it up at the start of the season, instead just started watching when I was sick at home with nothing to do. Here's to me not being a pretentious little fuck for once: I cried ok. The finale was perfect, but overall I'd say 7/10. |
| Fan-fucking-tastic |
 |
| Holy Shit.This series was just simply amazing, and i hope we will se second season really soon. Kise lost, which was IMO expected.We can feel that it must be Kuroko, who defeats Aominecchi first. As i said amazing episode, and im really curious of Akashi guy.He have some badass design, and i get a feeling hes OP. Oh, and Midorima is fking hilarious as always XD 5/5 waiting for next season sadface.jpg |
 |
| amazing end, really hope there will be a second season |
| Shit that animation is so great... And there's definitely a next season, I think... they casted Kamiya Hiroshi as the VA for the red-haired dude, but he hasn't shown up/said anything yet. So... Anyways, that was exciting. :3 |
| It was sad that Kise lost, but at the same time I think it was too early for Aomine to lose. And according to his team mate Aomine still didn't show his full potential. Overall it was a great episode and I really hope they make a season 2. Akasaha looks awesome, really want to see him and Murasakibara in action. |

ahneeme said: ElenirLachlagos said: I never really liked Aomine, but that did it. Not helping someone up who's on the ground and just walking away - only assholes do that. Well yeah he's an ass most of the time but he's not all that bad. For some reason he gave off more doucheness in animated form. The subtitles for the part where he doesn't help Kise up were like "Winners don't have anything to say to the losers." (something like that) He's more eloquent in the manga. "To someone who has lost after trying their best, no words from the winner can console him." Cool episode. Kise is a true bro till the end. When Kagami and Kuroko were playing in the end there was a part where Kagami looks like he was going to run off and leave Kuroko there talking. I was about to laugh. he's like a tsundere |
| Nice ending.. And almost cried when Kise could not stand up. Was even kinda expecting that Aomine will help him. But well.... Aomine is Aomine.. And the Generation of Miracles Akashi was so badass looking.. Almost badass as Aomine.. Yay.. I am so pumped up for Season 2 now!!! I hope they will make it happen.. PLEASE!!!!! |
| Brilliant anime, I'm glad I picked this one up. I was really rooting for Kise, though the outcome did not surprise me at all. Ending hints at Season 2? I'd say so, especially since the manga is still publishing, and there's still 2 Miracle Generation members to beat. Easy 9/10. |
 |
| Aomine has only showed us the tip of the iceburg? Hell yes. Let's go. I loved how Aomine put the period on the match with that final over-powering dunk on Kise which knocked him to the ground. Also, that reverse backhand that knocked away the pass had me jumping lol. That said, I still felt really bad for Kise and the entirety of Kaijou. It was just a bad match-up for them and they gave it their best, they should keep their heads up for the winter, just like their Captain said. Though I'm still really glad Aomine put them in their place, especially with all that copy-cat business. Akashi won me over right there. Evil smirk + board game = win. Really looking forward to what kind of relationship he had/has with his Ex-Teammates and what he has up his sleeve in the future. Loved the teasers in the end and hopefully they do get a S2. Though I'm definitely going to read the manga from here on out regardless. 9/10 |

MissileSoup said: I feel this season wasn't any more than an introduction, and an incomplete one. The development of the main characters are left at the initiation, and the introduction the generation of color-coded players is yet to be concluded. I'd have preferred if they had gone further with either one. While I did not think much of this season, I'd definitely watch a second, especially with most of the introductions out of the way. how is this just an introduction? this series was very fast paced and they already played against 3/5 of the generation of miracles |
 |
| Omg. It's over. I feel kinda empty right now. AISHETWIOOTIERJKERJ This has been like my anime life line for the past few months ;A; And if there isn't a season two, then some tables are gonna get flipped (doubt it though, cause of SOO MANY implications) |
| My Saturday's wont be the same. It was a solid adaptation of the manga, and I'm eagerly waiting for a second season, specially after those damn teasers in the end. If they had shown Himuro too I would have collapsed of excitement. |
| Amazing episode Amazing series and basketball anime Very consistent til the end And definitely will watch season 2 That preview hopefully confirm that It will have season 2 and I hope It's not far 10/10 |
| Amazing adaption of a great manga; they animated arguably my favorite match really well to; the emotions were well conveyed like in the scene when Kise couldn't get up; tho i wish they didn't remove the blood part; because IIRC he bleed from punching the floor so hard. That aside it was nice that they portrayed hints of Aomine's soft side because its essential to his development. As has been said by many many people this needs a season 2; because in honesty the Winter Cup is even better than what we have seen so far; Kise vs Aomine may still be one if not my favorite match of the entire manga but as a whole the Winter cup is filled with amazing matches; The Yosen one in particular is great. Also seeing Akashi animated would be pure win; i may be optimistic in saying this but i think that preview along with its good sales makes it a guarantee; hopefully the wait isn't to long XD |
