Aomine pulls off a shot that teenagers do during gym class where they shoot from the back of the board. AWESOME.

Ooh. Kagami blocking Aomine's drive... though Aomine never fails to return the favor.
Looking from the preview... yes their defeat is absolute. Phooey.

Wonder what is the deal with lemons? Ahahahaha.
I guess I'll read the manga now.

Well, looks like from next episode's preview that Seirin's defeat is all but certain. Wish they didn't show that but it will be interesting to see how the team copes with their first loss.

Aomine crossovers are nice but when he tried to do AND 1 moves they looked like shit. Maybe the anime team should had looked at Buzzer Beater for some basketball animation moves.

@Vforvendetta

Naw Aomine reminds me nothing like Derrick Rose. I just wish the animated the moves better when he tried to do street ball moves aka AND 1 moves.

I wonder how many of you are real basketball fans and actually seen street ball moves. Yeah i know its an anime im just saying.

This episode went to freaking fast....

Aomine is beyond good, and unlike most people I seriously dislike him a lot. Although I do acknowledge that his basketball skills are awesome. I really, desperately want him to be beaten by Kagami at some point in this anime. I seriously hate his attitude towards basketball.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

So I just noticed now, since they usually gloss over the fouls and illegal moves, but where is the ref? Not that it matters at this point, but just wondering if there had even been one. I actually still like Aomine better than the other characters.

AOMINE DAIKI, enough said.

I like how Kagami was trying to keep up and put out some fight, I gained some respect for him this episode. Not that it's going to make a difference though ^^.

First Kuroko sits his ass on the bench, then Kagami on the floor after getting crossed out. Not looking good for your "We will beat Aomine", lol.

On another note, Aomine and Momoi should get together. I really want to know their back story and what kind of relationship they have.

One of best episodes of KnB.That was simply epic.Aomine is a freaking beast, i can't find even 1% chances for Seirin to win.Only Kuroko can do something now i guess, but what.He needs Kagami to make a nice pass and nice action in overall, but Aomine is all over him.This means Kagami needs to suprass himself like 2x.How? and theres kinda big gap between both of teams.It's a 2nd half too...

Lol lemons.

Lemons with Honey I guess.

I don't know if I remember correctly but in Captain Tsubasa they once ate the same and explained it. I might be wrong since I saw that almost 15 years ago. Man, it sure was nostalgic when I saw them eat the lemons ... and I didn't think my memory would be this good.

Inno about all that the And1 looked fine. Buzzer Beater animation on moves were solid but they looked plain. The show never captured exciting crossovers or exciting plays. In my honest opinion no basketball anime ever really gets animation moves right and I play basketball at high levels so I'm pretty critical when it comes to move animations.

Kuroko no Basket is definitely in the right direction in my opinion in terms of move animations. That hesitation half spin that Aomine does really surprised me because it looked soo real.

Holy Shit! Aomine is insanely fast, like holy shit! LMAO. The animation was amazing, especially with Aomine's street ball movements. No matter what Kagami does, Aomine just out does him.

Kuroko looks really serious, you can tell he really wants to be the ass. xD Now it's confirmed that Seirin can't win against Touou now. Aomine scoring a point when he was behind the board, my gawd... Such a beast. Really like Aomine when he's playing, just dislike his personality.

The lemons thing was hilarious. Mitobe ftw! :D
Next episode is gonna be depressing (smirk)

I read a comment about the lemons with honey, though I can't find it anymore so I will just answer your question in this post.

Slice lemons in honey is like a sports drink for athletes. The honey provides energy while the lemons juice remove fatigue and cleanses your system.

Hope that's helps.

10/10 - Awesome episode, the animation is quite better than the past episode. Well I should not complain cuz animating basketball moves aren't that easy. (=_=)

The animation for Aomine was pure insane awesomeness!

This is easily the best episode of the series so far. I was worried this episode would have let down the people who have read the manga but that was extremely epic.

The lemon conversations were hilarious. Especially the part where they told Riko to slice the lemons. It was funny watching that she and Satsuki had the same lemon preparation skills :)

Looking forward to Kuroko + Kagami's counter-attack. Come on Seirin!

You're talking about that half spin fake right? That's not really a streetball move though. You see players like Carmelo, Kobe, Monta Ellis do that every now and then.

If you've watched ball during the early 00s you'll remember Jamal Mashburn doing this all the time.

No Miracles this time, face the harsh reality of Aomine, SEIRIN! Is it bad that I'm feeling a bit too happy at their misfortune?

Aomine is playing in base right now too, just wait until he unleashes his resurreccion, not that he needs it though. I swear Kagami saw some Sonido's too, I'll have to go back and re-watch it for a 3rd time just to make sure. ^^

And realizing he was gonna shoot from behind the board, wow :o this episode was pretty exciting, makes me wonder how Kagami and Kuroko are gonna pull through :3

Aaagh I dont see how Im gonna wait till next week to see epi 18 though T_T seeing more of Aomines moves animated will be awesome~
