Awesome episode... Some epic stuff ahead.
P.S: I love the endcard with Seirin painting that wall. Each episode a member of the GoM and its partner joins the team lol.

Riko found her long lost mother. LOL

Regarding the fight so far on court, its a bit underwhelming compared to the previous episodes. Glad the focus isn't on Taiga/Tetsuya, hope Teppei gets some points off Murasakibara for back in the day! :D

As a manga reader, let me just say that the second half is 10 times more epic than the first. The first half was to merely establish a few things:

1) How Seirin broke the Shield of Aegis through Kuroko (with a shot that even Murasakibara can't block -- don't worry, there's a perfectly good explanation for this but it won't be explained this season) and he can open up their defense further with pump fakes.

2) How Seirin won the rebound battle with 3 titans guarding the post -- Vice Claw.

3) How Seirin stopped Yosen's low post scoring -- Kagami's physical play, power jump and block.

4) Now that Yosen can't score through their captain's post play, enter Himuro who wasn't needed until now.

All this to get Seirin into a position where they can evenly match Yosen (both in offense and defense), unleash Himuro and begin the epicness that is the second half. Think about it, now that Himuro has joined the attack, what other weapons do Yosen have?


I love your comments because they're pretty much what I want to say, but you always say it before me lol.

Lol'd at Aomine's explanation, Mitobe's analysis and Kiyoshi's advice. And Himuro, 'Nobody can stop me'... are you sure about that?

Huehue

Can't wait for Kiyoshi vs Murasakibara next ep!

@NoongaJuice The rest of the match is going to be high octane all the way. I wonder how the animation quality is going to keep up. I hope for episode 18 budget for the rest of the season but I know that's not going to happen. Please let episode 23 match episode 18 in terms of animation quality! It deserves it. And yes, time for Kiyoshi to shine next episode.

Edit: Anyone else think they should have just used the phantom shot animation from the opening? I wouldn't mind at all.

This was probably my favorite episode of the season so far, because Kuroko got the chance to be a big BA on the basketball court. He was passing AND shooting! Loved every minute of him doing his thing.

Still, I don't think they will beat Yosen, but I know they'll give it their all anyway. There's no way Seiren can beat a team full of Goliaths that also have amazing speed and reflexes. It would never happen IRL. So, if it happens here, it'll definitely be an ass-pull by the author.

Kuroko's own formless shot. Pure awesomeness.
Surprised why Himuro is so shocked by Kuroko's phantom shot since his own shot can somewhat disappear.

Yosen finally gonna unleash their offense.
Can't wait for the next ep!

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.

Is it only me or did Murasakibara disappear from under the basket for the shots that the others (not Kuroko) did?

I remember why I liked this show: the moments when unimpressive Kuroko surprises everyone by being badass.
But it's become so boring now, the pattern is getting annoying. But I've come so far, it's a bit late to drop it, isn't it?

I dont know about that I mean there are other factors too, like how their game develops , the back stories of the players are sometimes interesting :D I'd say its to late to drop it, and it might be worth watching until the end, we all know they will win the winter cup but you dont know how :D

Lulz at the new techniques, ESPECIALLY that rocket shot by Kuroko :D It looks so silly~

But yeah, besides Murasakibara none of other members from Yosen showed anything besides being big so... I'm waiting. Especially for Himuro.

I can't see how Teppei could beat Murasakibara, as good as he is I'm pretty sure he's not at Generation of Miracles level... Kagami vs his old friend should be more balanced, though. Still, I wish he'd just activate the zone again and simply wipe everyone's ass lol
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

This time, they're depending the whole match on Teppei and Kagami !
They can't depend on Kuroko anymore..
They always depends the ace.. there must be a lot of pressure for Kagami but
I guess he likes all that.. haha.. ><
Finally get to see Himuro's skills... don't know what will happen next.
I hope I get to see some of Yosen's offense too ~

That is an excellent question.

*Wink.

The other team is still scoring, but remember: Seirin's offense is thought to be the strongest in the tournament.

The one thing they've been stressing about kuroko since the beginning is the fact that the ball can't disappear, its the only thing that everyone is always paying attention to. (Thats why he doesn't hold it..)

It will be explained in season 3. The fact that people will pay utmost attention to the ball is part of the trick. But just like with the vanishing drive, only Kuroko's mark will see him/ball disappear.
