I wish this anime came out every day!!!

The whole time Kagami was acting the way he was, I kept thinking Kuroko should do something, which he did, but never expected him to punch Kagami.

I really want to know what Kuroko can do : )
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Omfg this show just gets better and better.

Kagami's jumping ability is amazing.

The cliffhangers are an absolute killer too. Just when I thought I was going to find out what Kuroko meant when he said he'd step it up a notch the show ends. ARGH!!

Now yo usee why i bitched some episodes back about the coach. Plain and simple they need a new damn coach. I guess because i watch the NBA a lot. If your player is that tired and doing stupid shit you do a timeout even if you dont sub him out. Yet she looks like a damn fool. Not sure how many of you actually like basketball but it's my favorite sport.

Episode was good just the coach is making me sick if she was just acting like a real coach i wouldnt complain. I kind of wish they had a coach like Giant Killing.
I dunno about Japan, but there are definitely less timeouts in HS basketball than in the NBA.

In this case, the coach would be wise to reserve timeouts for actual coaching (for new strategies, sets, etc.) rather than to swap players or advance the ball.

I was so excited for Kuroko's "plan" but then the ED played :C

I always wondered about Kagami's 'ability' especially after the game with "papa". I was happy that Kuroko punched some sense into Kagami, I hated how Kagami thought about how he wants to win especially when he said that they should pass the ball more to him, I mean yeah you want to win, but it's better if you win it with others.

Damn, now we all have to wait for another week

Kagami this episode, so much fun to watch. He was the mayor of Block City for a bit there, had a feeling he would get one of Midorima's shots eventually. Bit sad that his legs gave way, he was single handedly dominating them. That bench scene with Kuroko was the best though, totally did not expect those punches.

The Shutoku locker room though, lol at the teammates wanting to break Midorima's raccoon. The guy is dedicated though, fixing his nails at halftime because his "shots depend on them." Once again, cannot wait for next week. Hopefully it's the end of this match, really do not want another cliffhanger about Shutoku.

Shutoku coach: "That player jumps so high. There's no way he can be Japanese."

That part was hilarious.

Kuroko punching Kagami was so unexpected. That's probably my favorite scene from this anime so far.

Btw, Kagami's attitude in this episode reminded me of this

Holy shit that was crazy. Kagami going all-out and only thinking about winning, not knowing that he's acting like the Generation of Miracle members. His insane jumping abilities were pretty damn awesome though. He was able to touch the ball as Midorima was trying to score.

Kuroko's punches was totally unexpected but man it really calmed Kagami down. Kuroko's gonna do something awesome next episode, dammit can't wait.

I thought the same, but that would be lame.
Nice episode, but next episode should be much better since Kuroko's secret tactic will come on.
The ending picture looks like a gay club or something.

Man i was putting off watching this show thinking it was a comedy basketball joke. Boy was I dead wrong. This is the best show of the season that I'm surprised not many are watching. This has the same vibe as One Outs.

I read the manga meanwhile, and I just get the impression that the manga had much more movement' x_X even though manga panels are stills by definition. Maybe it's just that it's more obvious in anime form.

So finally Kagami's special skill is made official. He was really cool, until he burned out. Now it's time for Kuroko to knock Takao out. (if Kuroko is boasting about, it has to be really really cool!) It's always nice when he is showing emotions, so his punch was great. I wasn't expecting Kagami to pay him back but still it was a nice scene. And Aida was as cute as ever. I hope we see her shining as a coach as well.
And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be...

I think this was the best episode so far.

Kise's prediction was right, while Kagami is getting stronger he is also getting more egocentric and individualist. Good that they have Kuroko to punch him lol

But I think that this was the best Kagami's moment so far. He just beasted out and beated Midorima, man that was awesome.

I'm waiting for the game to finish because...

Well, at least Kuroko managed to snap someone out of his sense. It's really dangerous when a team ended up with only one player calling all the shots. :(

Good episode but oh my god seriously I don't care how good of a jumper Kagami is how the heck do you block a shot when you start ON THE GROUND and the guy shooting has ALREADY RELEASED THE BALL?! IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT. Or how do you block someone's shot when they start shooting while you are RUNNING TOWARDS THEM?! Not to mention him marking Midorima on his side of the court. YOU HAVE TO BE ON YOUR SIDE WHEN THEY START WITH THE BALL. Grahhhh I hate it when people DON'T DO THEIR RESEARCH OTL
Well, enough complaining. Crazy how Midorima's shot *gasps* HIT THE RIM but still got it in. It's always nice to see that the basketball team doesn't SUCK except for him (which you'd expect, but really people). TAKAO IS STILL LOVE LOL. I honestly thought they were gonna break the raccoon and then they'd be screwed, or that something would happen to Midorima's nails. I TOLD YOU KAGAMI'S HOROSCOPE WOULD BE IMPORTANT.
Didn't expect Kuroko to punch Kagami. Kise was right, he was getting more and more arrogant and thinking like "I'm the superstar" (like several ... notable ... NBA stars) and such. Although this kind of thinking has been seen everywhere, it's not surprising they bring it up now, although it DOES get a bit annoying :S
Well, Kuroko's gonna bring it up to "another level", leaving one to wonder why he doesn't just start like that in the first place. Ah well :P

Oh man... this episode was really thrilling.

Kagami`s jumping ability is officially pointed out and Midorima gets shocked for the first time in his basketball career. I knew Kagami would run out of gas but at least it wasn`t the final quarter.

Kuroko and Kagami punching each other in the face was pretty intense. Though, some necessary wake up calls. It was pretty funny seeing little Kuroko get totalled by Kagami and knocked to the ground ^^.

Let`s see how the climax of this game turns out.

Aida also made my day with her internal conflict, lol ^^.

Kuroko's Basket reminds me a bit of the early episodes of YuGiOh!, when everyone played the way they wanted lol.

Kagami's sign means bad things for Midori. How convenient.

thoughts throughout the episode:

-thats the first time i've seen an iphone in an anime. lol. any other shows have that?
-kagami's extraordinary jumping ability, he's part black. lol. even the coach says it. "with jumps like that, i can't believe this guy is japanese". lmao
-and damn kuroko punched the crap out of kagami. wasn't expecting that. great speech by him, knocking some sense into kagami. also can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve this time.

5/5, good stuff
