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

Freaking hell, this episode was simply amazing. Action packed and so intense, my gawd. Kuroko getting hit by Kise's fist must have been brutal, damn. Seemed really serious since Kuroko was trying so hard to stand and move normally, also loved his 'good morning' xD. Absolutely loved the scene when the OP song played when Seirin were catching up. Also, another member of Generation of Miracle briefly appeared.

The captain's 'true colours' was unexpectedly epic when he went all out. Also loved how the coach started naming the other Seirin players and describing them. The Kuroko and Kagami duo is simply unbeatable though. I can't get enough of the animation of Kuroko's passes and good to see them actually working better with coordination. Kise was pretty crazy when he got really serious but damn that last scene was too good, Kagami scoring a buzzer beater awww yeaaaah! >=D Kise's 'this can't be happening' face was hilarious LOL.

5/5

Remember that Kise IS stronger than Kagami? If Kagami's strong already, then what is Kise? OTL

And it looks like he fell on his head, the way he slowly turns.

...Nice picture in the end. :3

I like the series more with each episode, which is surprising considering this is the first sports anime I've watched. XD The game was so exciting! Once Kuroko was hit, I thought it was over for Seirin but I'm glad they were able to make a comeback. I hope this isn't the last we see of Kise, but at least he made a brief appearance in the next episode preview. Oh and the image after the preview was too cute! XD

my first impression anime was fantastic it has a good vibe to it good plot, up-to-date quality i just have a few criticism about the basketball itself every basketball player has a poistion and kuroko has none and i hope the wikia is lying you cant just run around the court with no position and kagami plays more like a smal foward than powerfoward like lebron james, kevin durant dunking on people more offensive than defence. power foward are the ones that screen and defend most of the time and get rebounds. for a person that dosnt watch that much basketball knows these basic principles and i hope they do small adjustment like kagami changes to powerfoward/smallfoward in the manga overall this anime is great kuroko plays extactly like ranjo randon great passes i hope he learns to do layup, dribble eventually every basketball play must of have these skills and score and i also like to add that kagami should of been a small foward since they are one that dunk on people shoot 3 pointer score 20 points in a game since he still is in highschool but i dont know that is to much realism for an anime other than that great anime

I am loving that the second years; glad they were finally properly introduced.

I was a hater last week but got damn this episode was good as fuck.

I'm glad all the players got their own unique skills.

The only thing i want from Kuroko is i want him be a damn Allen Iverson dribbler and be able to make lay ups.

I just know the episode made me more excited to watch the NBA playoffs today.

Well i dont read the manga are they staying true to the real story? I hope they are because the manga is still going on.


Yes, it stayed true to it. It's just a lot faster in comparison.
You know how basketball manga is, even one play can take a whole episode.

It looks like some of you got pretty disturbed by the see-you-next-week picture. :3

Though I pretty like BL, I didn't even notice the shounen-ai vibe from the picture until about several minutes or so. I even curiously searched it out on google afterwards. <--??

So I'm impressed by the non-BL-lovers to notice them so fast!!!

But I think it doesn't even count as shounen-ai. Okay I admit it maybe does, but for me it's just a cute scene of two friends where one friendly-hug (or lift) the other. Kuroko is so damn cuuuute, I as a girl would also hug him <3. For me it's hardly shounen-ai.... xDDD

Compared to ecchi animes where there're boobs and panties every damn episodes (I'm exaggerating of course), Shounen-ai-undertoned animes only show not more than a glimpse of it.

That makes me wonder why just because of one picture, people would drop an interesting anime such as this.

I myself, dislike ecchi anime, but I still watch Medaka Box (An ecchi-genred action anime) cause I'm looking forward to it's action. Yet when the boobie showing scene showed up, I didn't yuck-ed at it or anything. I just ignored it. Simple.

Sorry for the bad English btw

Ah, I love sports anime and manga. There's always time to stop and have a conversation in the middle of a game.
Pfffft, is a fujoshi drawing the endcards or something? 3 of 4 have been blatant fangirl bait. xP

You need to know that sports anime/manga (except the ones will only girls like Ro-Kyu-Bu of course!) ARE fujoshi bait! And you know why? Because fujoshi BUY more than other otaku! Of course since there are much more otaku guys than fujoshi, there will always have more ecchi/loli/harem anime than fujishi bait anime... and seriously, in THIS anime, the ONLY thing (yet!??) you can "complain" about is the last second eye-catch picture!!!!! Do you know how many good series where stained by stupid useless ecchi?? I don't mind ecchi when it has a meaning, but when we already have a good story, heavy ecchi is stupid, but it sell so... Here it's not like you will have naked shower scenes where the guys playing together comparing their size... isn't it? how many time did you (girls, not "only" fujoshi) have to watch this because the anime was interesting?

I wasn't complaining. If anything, I find it entertaining.

Perhaps you should calm down a bit? People like what they like, and that's okay. I agree with you that dropping something over something that lasts for less than a second (and is very easy to avoid seeing) is silly though.
If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues.

You wasn't complaining? I'm sorry, but when you began a sentence by "Pfff", the "blatant fangirl bait" and "xP" it's really don't look like you enjoyed it ^_^!!!Maybe I should have checked you profile and notice you were a girl... but even so, it was a girl who said she dropped the series because a the above mentioned eye-catch...

I don't need more fanservice (for this series ^^, there are enough doujin ^_~) but if they add more, I'm curious to see how far they can go!
I remember specially Get Backers and Dear Boys whose manga where "very" shounen, with some ecchi/panties/skit lift be became almost BL anime (and I was not yet really into BL when I watched those series but still remember how much it was evident!)

[EDIT]Btw, didn't they forget all the fangirls around the blond guy? They were a lot in episode 3, no?? I don't notice them in this episode... have to watch it again ^^

Damn the music is so good here, really sucks you in the game, which unfortunately is too fast and not much details. But that's just how it is in the manga. Only specific moments stand out like the trick combo of Kuroko and Kagami, Hyuga showing some shooting and that buzzer beater.
It gets a bit detailed later on, the matches, but in the meantime, we'll just have to do with this.

Midorima in that wagon is so lolz.
Can't wait for the three Onos(Kensho, Yuuki and Daisuke) to play all at once in a match.

Since when was this a fujoshi bait anime? I remember this was one of the ignored mangas in WSJ. Oh wel..

Was disapointed that Seirin won. Their first time playing a strong school, with one of Kiseki no Sedai to boot, and they win, just like that? Pity, cause it's too shounen-y for me... Where's room for growth if they win right off the bat.

I, for one, liked the fanservice-y endcard. And it's just an endcard, it's not like they added BL into the actual episode or something. There's only, like, one girl on the cast, so it's no surprise if people get ideas about all the hot guys running around there.

Of all aspects to evaluate an anime watchable or not, people choose one lousy picture at the end? Get over it! I don't like BL, I like Ecchi perverted stuff, but even I know this is an anime worthy of praise, undeserving censure. If it is more preferable, there many other crap anime that doesn't throw stuff at the end like what they did with this, so go watch them.

First of all, this is a Shounen sports anime, it's aimed at young boys, or even children, and it certainly has nothing to do with fujoshi's

As my first basketball anime, I really tried to enjoy this. And I did enjoy the first three episodes because the characters are good. However, as someone who doesn't like basketball, I just can't enjoy watching the games. I found myself wishing the episode would hurry up and end.

All in all, I can see that this anime is great. However, unlike with baseball anime, I don't feel at all like cheering loudly at the TV.

Therefore, I am now dropping this show. If I can't enjoy the games, there's no point in watching a sport anime.
