EPIC EPISODE! Have to mention the AMAZING BGM as well ...
LOVE the focus on Kise! It'd be amazing if there was some more, but I guess they can't show that much :') Ah, I'd love to see more of their middle school days :P Especially loved it when Aomine said he couldn't go easy on him even though he was new ...
Seems like both teams are quite evenly matched. Aomine gets stronger as the game goes on ... but what about Kise? Hmm ... seems like he's got a plan that he wants to be put into action! :O
Seriously though some of these things are still kind of WTF XD Like OMG YOU JUMPED TWO SECONDS BEFORE ME BUT I CAN STILL CATCH YOU HAHA XD Or them being tied at the end of the second ... they played 9 minutes without anyone scoring?! Wtf lol ;P
Though it seems like Aomine's stronger right now it seems like Kise's just getting fired up. The preview ... he's given up on looking up to Aomine?! :O This should be really interesting!

Kise is trying so hard. But why is it Aomine doesn't lose?

I thought Touou would curbstomp Kaijo from the very beginning. I guess they've really improved.

Honestly though, I wanted the training camp to last longer. Kurobasu: slice of life has a very cute feel to it.

I'm starting to really like Kise. When he first showed up I thought he was a douche, but he's not bad actually.
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it!

Kise mastered sports too quickly and was bored,until he met Aomine and got interested in basketball.

Kise stopped one of Aomine's shots.

Kasamatsu is a pretty good leader.And lol'd at Hayakawa talking,this speech was even harder to understand in the manga.

Intense game and it' only just begone.Things are going to get serious next episode.

I don't like Aomine. He's far too arrogant and someone needs to put him in his place!
Come on Kise!!!

It's slightly less interesting watching another team play.

Lol Kasamatsu and Hyuuga are a bit alike with their tempers.

Hayakawa's speech pattern wasn't as put out there as in the manga.

I like Kasamatsu's knee socks...

Pfft Wakamatsu can be pretty loud like Hayakawa~

"Uchi no Kise" ehe.

Very cute end card!

Also, this is so random but I loved seeing Aomine and Satsuki walking home together LoL. They are a pair that needs to be emphasized more by the author.


From the light novel here:

“Satsuki… Could it be…”

Her eyes sparkled.

“You already have someone whom you like?”

“Ah!?”

Briefly, Momoi’s cheeks flushed red. Of course, this did not escape Izumi’s eyes. She firmly hugged Momoi’s shoulders, wearing a proud expression as if saying ‘Hmph, I found it out!’.

“Oh, oh, no wonder! Who is that person!? Aomine-kun!?”

“Of course not! That guy is merely a childhood friend! It’s because he can be too unruly, so I have to keep an eye on him… There’s absolutely no other reason!”


It goes on to show Momoi watching Kuroko and about her feelings for him. I'm sure there are Momoi-Aomine moments in the light novel too, haven't read it yet!

Glad to see Kise able to hold his own against God Mod Aomine.

Hmm, Kise can stop Aomine, but Aomine has agility and skill. Kise has no weapon.
But because of that, Kise has to use that thing.
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.

The first half of the game was really good. So far Kise vs Aomine is being awesome, although Aomine is starting to come on top...
Anyway, looks like Kise wants to try something awesome...
Really looking forward to the rest of the game *.*

Thought some of the animation was a bit off in this ep, it distracted me during the game which was a shame. Also thought it strange that Kise was stronger than the "unbeatable" Aomine in the first quarter, it seemed like a bit of a stretch for Kise to be that good when Aomine otherwise destroys everyone.

But overall a good episode, it was nice to get to know a bit more about Kise and Aomine's past, and the game looks like it will be getting serious in the next ep :D Aomine seriously needs putting in his place before that ego gets any bigger ;)

Cool game.

Kise was pretty good against Aomine but I'm not sure he can beat him. Aomine got skills and game.

Kise was hot as ever. Nice flashback to see why he joined the basketball team. Aomine is hot too.

This is a good game! I hope the remaining 2 Generation of Miracles would be as good as Kise, Midorima, and Aomine.

And wait, how did Seirin beat Kise's team XD

Every KuroBasu episode goes by so fast... that's a testament to how engrossing every episode is! Aomine vs Kise did not disappoint. Kise was amazing (although I still expect Aomine to win, just probably by a much smaller margin). The flashbacks were great, and I hope there's more coming, I want to see more of Aomine and Kise's interactions at Teikou.

The other Touou and Kaijou players are amusing (I❤Kasamatsu), as I keep saying, the only thing that would make this series perfect for me is further development on the other teammates.

(Also, how did Seirin beat Kaijou in a match before, albeit it was a practice match?? Kaijou must have not been taking it seriously at the time lol)

"Kise's gotten stronger. I'm in trouble."

Goddamn. Aomine even noticed that.

And Aomine was the one who motivated or convinced Kise to become a basketball player because it's like Kise managed to master every sports he decides to play then he came across with Aomine.

Kaijo lead the first quarter, but Touou managed to tied with them the moment second quarter started. Idk who's gonna win in this match anymore. Jesus.

"Maybe he's trying to take a shit, but the shit just won't come out."

Watching this episode again gave me the feels. <33 It was such a pleasure to see Kise and Aomine's first meeting and that Aomine was the person who led Kise to want to try basketball. :)) It's true that Aomine and Kise know each other very well on the court... ;___; There were funny moments too, like when Aomine called Imayoshi "evil glasses guy" and the look on Sakurai's face when Kise copied him! XDD

Kaijo vs Touou match is more fun than the other matches I've seen Seirin played. It kept me on my feet and had me gasping in shock at their tricks.

Aomine is so sexy and the way everyone was intimidated by him??? King shit!!

Intense episode, and the next one seems it's going to get even more intense. Kise's team really is tough, 'm still questioning how they lost to Seirin before.

i thought it would be stupid for kise for not making something special against ahomine.

it's actually wen well to see other teams playing each other and not seirin all the time, i thought i would be boring without kagami/kuroko but it actually pretty fun and intense.

and that flashback on the start of the episode really made me like kise more before the game.

Kise got plans. Him going neck for neck with Daiki for a lil was epic, but his backstory on how he got into basketball just because of seeing Daiki do his moves on the court is good asf. His motivation and drive gives him the energy to improve.
