I liked the episode, but I think that it shouldn't have wasted so much time with lemons lol.

Overall a great episode, especially Aomine's animation.

Holy shit this episode was fucking awesome. I had to rewatch the street ball moves Aomine did at the end.

Seirin is done they are not winning this match.

Damn, Aomine's more than a monster .___.
And my heart stopped at that preview; 93 to 53?!
But if Kagami can jump Papa Sshfeoiwje and Midorima's shots, I feel like a miracle's gonna happen once Kuroko gets back in!

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. ^^

Ah totally agree on the animation for Aomine, absolutely amazing o_o I cant stop watching the ending! The street ball part, awesome >> http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7w0mrfytJ1qic25lo1_500.gif

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~

Like everybody's been saying so far, this episode was amazing! It was kinda depressing watching Aomine own the court though. T_T Kuroko with the lemon in his mouth was super adorable. XD

Even though the outcome of the game is pretty inevitable, the preview destroyed any remaining hope I had for a comeback. :( I thought maybe the score gap would decrease once Kuroko is back in the game, but with Seirin being 40 points behind during the last few minutes I guess it's going to remain one-sided throughout.

The animation quality this episode was excellent though and I can't wait for next week to see how Kuroko and Kagami work together against Aomine!

This episode was intense. Aomine's play... In the manga it was awesome, but seeing it in the anime is completely different... It's really, so much better. This was really fantastic!!

I think some of you might be a little dumb...

Why would they show the scoreboard (with such a huge score gap) in the preview if there weren't some sort of twist to it? I feel like the intention was to make it seem like they were most likely going to lose, thus giving the ending of the episode a bigger aspect of surprise.

Just sayin...

The way I see it, Seirin will lose, but Kuroko and Kagami will properly score on Aomine at least once, leaving him surprised, which will undoubtedly return his love for basketball again. There is no way in hell that they will be able to score around 40 points on Aomine in the last 5 minutes. That's way too insane even for this show.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Aomine? I have to admit though, the shot from behind the backboard was sick. Felt like there was a bit too much time over sliced and non-sliced lemons. Thank god that Seirin are losing though, Kagami with busted legs/ankles shouldn't beat a superior Touou outfit, and I'm glad the anime is going that way (seeing as there was the 93-53 scoreline in the preview).

Yeah he's been referred to as "hot coach" by several characters in the manga.

I hate this show, I hate it with passion! It's too fast! And by that, I want to say it ends way too fast. Just as I sit down and start enjoying the epicness of it it ends. Seriously, make it longer. 2 or 3 times as long would suffice I think.

I'm also in love with Aomine, that guy is beyond great. Can't wait for the next episode.

Dang, I really can't see how exactly Seirin will win this match. But they probably will pull off something amazing with both Kuroko and Kagami in the 4th quarter, so I'm really looking forward to that. Plus, I think this anime will get a second season since it's been selling quite well...

But as we can see from the preview, it's just impossible to replace 50 points in just one quarter.
For sure, the next episode will me make angry.

@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.


Lol i know, he's no hot sauce either but at least someone can crossover in this anime....i think they tried to copy a little of derrick rose speed though but everyone knows derrick rose doesn't have much of a crossover...so maybe allen iverson?? but Aomine is turning out to be my favorite character and if Kuroko actually tried to practice a crossover he could be like steve nash you can only go so

Yeah your right he tried to do Hot Sauce moves but failed. TBH i dont know who they tried to copy maybe it was a little Allen Iverson. I see you said the samething ive been saying Kuroko needs to learn some crossovers. He doesnt have to learn hot to shoot but he should know how to to basics like a lay up at least. Thats why i cant take him serious. Aomine is my favorite player so far though.

I mean Kuroko is the team's point guard right? With his size he should be a decent ball handler because he's low to the ground making it harder for someone to steal the ball he doesn't even attempt and i laughed when Kagami said that Aomine is better than any American player he's ever seen.....he obviously didn't stay in America long....and Kagami jumping from the free throw line....bs he's no michael jordan. Sure there are few players that can dunk from free throw line players in Cali and here in Florida have player capable of doing that but I want to see them actually practice ....i didn't get my moves without practicing lol i guess i expect to much from this anime

Jumping is Kagami's talent if you haven't already noticed, it's been mentioned a bunch of times by the way. Americans are great at basketball but it doesn't mean a Non-American person can't surpass them, just look at Dirk Nowitzki.

Plus this is fiction man, you're thinking way hard into this. It also seems like you're ignoring everything mentioned about Kuroko's abilities, and his position is not Point Guard (wasn't mentioned yet), Seirin's PG is Izuki.

Yeah i think we expect so much because there aint many basketball animes. Slam Dunk is cool but i like Buzzer Beater more You do notice there aint any americans playing they got dude from Africa that one game. You know most of Africans are good at blocking look at Dikembe Mutombo. I do notice Aomine look like he's light skinned lmao.

Dirk isnt even all that name somebody he surpassed. Kevin Durant is better than Dirk in all ways. Dirk as no defense.

Yeah it is fiction but when you love basketball a lot you cant help but compare. Kuroko should still be able have the basic skills of dribbling no matter how you put it. Even if he's a shooting guard. Hell you mentioned Dirk look at how tall he is but he got basic dribbling. I just want Kuroko to learn lay ups and at least know how to dribble some. The ghost passing is getting pretty annoying and it seems like Kagami is the only one growing on the team.

You call him nothing now, but he was something before Oklahoma's rise to prominence.

The fact is, Kuroko doesn't specialize in driving and doing lay-ups, he learns something else later on which is basic that I'm not going to spoil. Any way he is great at passing, so he chooses not to dribble, It's not that he can't. Just keep watching man, I'm not going to spoil anything about the other regulars' growth.

I was prepared for the loss, but that preview slightly killed the next episode for me anyway...

Anyway, i must be missing something because i've seen street ball before, and compared to the very few official games i've watched (or parts of them at least) they don't look that different. Aside from the aggressiveness.

Aomine i don't like you.

Scariest thing about Aomine playing like that is that he's a POWER FORWARD, LoL.

He really is a one-man team though, kind of sad. I wish he had a trustworthy player on his team he could share the ball with and develop some amazing combos. I'd like to see him grow and develop as a person as time goes on too. Hopefully while "bonding" with Momoi ^^.

Not changing the fact that he's already my favourite in the show though, definitely an all time favourite as well, top 20 would suffice, for now.

Great episode, Aomine has some awesome Agility right there.
Street baseball? Interesting.
Now the preview looks promising:
93 vs 53 with only 5 min and 46 secs remaining, Kagami is going mad too.
