Kuroko got hurt and got benched during the second quarter.Funny how he fell down and passed out XD

Hyuuga,gets hype during clutch time and plays better.And more information about Seirin's other second years.Glad that even the second years are good players.

Kuroko returns during the 4th quarter.Then the game becomes at tie and Kise becomes serious.Loved the OST when that happens btw.

Kagami won the game with an alley oop.

Spotted Midorima as well

I didn't like the first two episodes when I first tried this series. I re-watched it again, up to this ep.

I like kuroko and kise, kind of anyways. I liked the OST too but I found everything boring, except for the last 10 seconds of the game.

I don't think I'll ever get into KNB. I just found myself wishing for the episode to be over quickly |:

So the battle between Seirin and Kaijo continues!
Kuroko and Kagami decided to change tactics in order to counter Kise.
But Kise just struck Kuroko on the head, causing him to become unconscious.

Hmm, so we're introduced to the other members of Seirin.
Seems like they're pretty strong too. But they won't last long enough.
So injured Kuroko is back at full strength. But when the two teams tied, Kise entered beast mode and started wrecking.
But Kuroko and Kagami had one more trick up their sleeve: an alley-oop.

Seems like we'll find out more about Kuroko next episode and we'll see another member of the Generation of Miracles.
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.

Wow that was so intense :o

I was really shocked when Kuroko got hurt, although Kise didn't do it intentionally, I think? His face was a mixture of fear and shock, I don't think he would hurt Kuroko.
Seirin won, thanks to teamwork and excellent work from all the players.

There was also a new character.. with bandages fingers and green hair xD
Now we have red, blue, green and yellow. It's pretty amusing.

Wow, that action was awesome!

This show is so smart, the strategising and stuff reminds me of One Outs, plus their intelligence.

I didn't think Kuroko would get hurt but I don't think Kise meant to.

I can't believe Seirin won, I didn't think they would!

That green hair reminds me of green haired Seto Kaiba lol.

It makes me want to play basketball again too lol. I was pretty good.

Yes, all the miracle people have fun coloured hair but the rest just boring black or brown lol. I guess they wanna make them stand out lol.

I liked the cute end card :3

With Kagami on top and Kuroko on bottom, that was pretty epic. We need more action like that.



Everyone thought he was out there; I suppose he just reached his tiring limits. I'm surprised they didn't just switch Kuroko out earlier, (to reset the invisibilty thing) but, I suppose he was just too vital.


0 - 100 real quick! 5/5 this episode. Even though this anime isn't too realistic, this episode definitely wiped away the doubt I had.
FIGHT!

I truly cannot accept that invisibility bullshit. And now a small slap to the face causes Kuroko to bleed out. He fell on his left side, and the blood is on the right side of his face, so Kise must really have long fuckin nails to cause that much bleeding.

I'm a person who follows logic, and according to the explanation, Kuruko has no presence, making light pass through him and unable to get reflected into someone's eyes, which results in him being invisible. And on top of that he can use misdirection to become even more invisible. This whole anime is based on the opponents being too incompetent to realize man-to-man defense means covering EVERY FUCKIN GUY ON THE COURT!! But they just write it off with "no they can't see him because he generates selective blindness in every living thing''. I can't believe I'm hating this anime because of this. I want to enjoy this anime but I can't. Everything else is great except this dumb-ass invisibility cloak I can't make sense of.

I feel sorry for Kurokocchi. He didn't deserve to bleed because of Kise.

Well that sounded weird...

First of, it's a sports series, so of course not everything makes sense. (Realism is boring!) Kuroko is not literally invisible, he simply lacks presence. There are people in real life who lack presence in certain situations. I myself am often ignored by other people and people comment on me sometimes that I appear out of nowhere. Also, basketball and many other sports games are games where you cannont concentrate on everyone and everything. You usually focus on the ball first. Everything also happens fast, while the anime portrays the game in cinematic time at times, making things appear longer than they actually are.

i knew after he was taken out of the game it was a blatant writing to make them win. kuroko had a two minute break and perhaps a 4-6 minute break after he was injured (i still don't see how...), so he had plenty of time to "recharge".

winning on the first time? against the school of miracles? for real? sorry this episode did not do it for me.

Really enjoyed this episode, very intense. And Kise got all super serious at the end...!! *o*

I'm a little surprised that Kuroko bled so much from what was probably just a scratch but ok, whatever, do what you gotta do to make the plot work lol. Kuroko and Kagami make such a great team, I'm so excited to see the development of their teamwork and skills throughout the show!! Captain Hyuuga as a clutch player was also a nice surprise (and that personality switch lol).

The show's been a good balance of action and comedy so far, a real promising start.

I screamed when Ryouta unintentionally hit Kuroko then I screamed so freaking loud when I saw Kuroko bleeding. Ohmygod. Then he freaking fainted. What the fuck. What the fuck. But glad he recovered and he did able to play again. And looks like Seirin won the game. Poor Ryouta's face. Waah. ;-;

What an intense episode!

Aaaand I think I just heard Daisuke Ono. Waaaaaah. Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!

I'm glad people from the second year are getting time to shine too. The dude that's coming to the practice game is probably gonna bash on Kise for his failure, maybe they will introduce themselves one after the other.

i'm glad that in the end they didn't only relayed on raw power but on tactic.

and i'm really wondering how kuroko already is the heart of the team that they can't win without, is there some games in the manga that they skipped?

not that i don't like though that he's the heart of the game, he really have much more than passing but also tactic. kagami on the other side have only strength, that's how i feel though...

Seirin's 1st Year duo coordinating with each other at the first half of the game was pretty damn entertaining~ That accident between Kise and Kuroko looked like it really hurt but it seems that it was a blessing in disguise since the latter was able to rest until the last quarter of the game.

While the other members of Team Seirin looks rather unassuming compared to Kagami and Kuroko, it's rather satisfying to see that they're not bad at all!
