THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It's amazing how well Kise is playing against Aomine. Aomine is still unstoppable though.

I saw that there were some scenes that were reused, like some passes to Kise.

I'm curious about what Kise has in store for us though.

OMG! OMG! OMG! My heart was racing throughout the episode! I want Kise and Aomine to do their best! It was awesome! Go Kise! Don't lose to Aomine! And, Aomine, show them why you're allowed to be so stuck up and arrogant! Kyaaa! I still can't stop myself from shaking and grinning and screaming! Hope for season 2! Can't wait for the next episode and damn it's a whole week until it airs!

My Aomine and Kise feelings are bubbling to the surface again ouch. All these flashbacks aren't good for my heart.

I also enjoyed getting to see more of some of my favorite minor characters (Kasamatsu, Wakamatsu, Imayoshi, etc.).

Despite the fact I've already read it in the manga, the anime still manages to stir up old feelings ^^;

A good match going so far. Is Kise going to actually try to copy Aomine? I thought he would have tried to do it at some point.

Dat Aomine and Kise showdown..... Has gotta be one of the best showdowns in this series so far. I was kinda expecting Aomine to overpower everyone, but it's a nice surprise to see Kise stand up to him.
Poor glasses guy that almost no one knows the name of.

Love the flashbacks.
I love how Kise is a bored person, but turned bubbly when he met Aomine.

Seriously loving this match. This is getting intense!

Also, love the ending art, Kise doing the bro shoulder to Aomine and Kuroko.

Decent start to the match, though I hope they pick up the pace even more in the second half. It's a great match-up and I'm glad they're actually showing the rest of the team and not a 1 on 1 game 100%. Also, I think that's the first free-throw I saw in the entire series so far lol.

Loved the flashbacks, it gave even more insight on Kise's character and his relationship with Aomine. Also, this is so random but I loved seeing Aomine and Satsuki walking home together LoL. They are a pair that needs to be emphasized more by the author.

I'm expecting Kise to pull an isolation play for the next few plays, it would be the biggest twist and at the same time, high risk high reward. But that may be exactly what Kise and Taijou need right now.

Oh yeah, Evil Megane FTW! ^^

They need to release all of these in some fanbook or something, or wallpapers. Second favorite, they just need Kagami, and Midorima, and Takao to have all my favorites on one.

Why couldnt they show two episodes back to back. This is one of those times where other sports anime could learn from this and manage to make their matches that dont involve the protagonists just as good as main ones. The first eleven minutes of the episode was so intense and gripping, Kise v Aominecchi was so epic. Kise isnt a favorite for nothing. The best GoM. (that "hug") Copying and taking other skills, and then when he stopped Aominecchi and not only that but blocked him too mid air with that high jump!!! And then second half with Aominecchi on the counterattack. Kise has to still have some trick.. We need the next one now. (and more Sakurai screentime)

Also liked Kise's origin story hope we get even more and the music during this episode sounded amazing. They need to give the soundtrack as the song that was close to end with Kise as well as during the game are some of my favorites.

The best match everRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we got to see Kise's handsome face so many time, that was so nice!!!
MY fav KuroBas character list:
1. Kuroko Tetsuya
2. Kise Ryouta (almost sharing the first place with Kuroko)
3. Koganei Shinji :3

Kise was even already really cool in middle school
I love him even more now, when he's serious and when he is a masochist
omg Kuroko was really serious about the match (I hope he's hoping that Kise is going to Aomine cuz he couldn't)
Damn, I really want to see thing Kise is going to do
I want Kise to win soo much!!!

Awesome episode I love seeing these two teams go at it. The offensive rebound guy is awesome and so is evil glasses dude but of course Kise and Aomine stole the show. Can't wait to see what Kise has up his sleeve. Im thinking like and isolation type thing or maybe he'll start playing his own basketball and stop copying. He might even pull off some of Aomine's tricks. Dammit I cant wait to see next week's episode.

Kise VS Aomine is insanely intense. Kise is freaking awesome though. He can actually keep up with Aomine and stopped him a few times in the first quarter. Kasamatsu is a pretty cool character unlike a few assholes on the Touou team. Lol'd when Teppei asked the Seirin members how did they beat Kaijo. xD

The Kaijo member wearing the #10 was hilarious, great re-bounder though. The OST used in this episode was so damn epic. Watching with headphones is so much better. Got so damn hyped. Seeing the past was great. Kise was athletically superior but hadn't tried basketball and when he saw Aomine he was so into it. Also that evil glasses guy is hilarious lmao.

Can't wait for the next episode. I know it's gonna be epic. Kise's probably my favourite character now, along with Kuroko.

Intense episode, it was nice to learn more about Kise and why he started basketball. This episode shows that Kise's team is on a whole different level than Seiren.

Definitely can't wait to see what Kise will do next, I hope his team wins.

those ending cards. D: /steal

Btw, am I the only one here who finished this episode quickly? I've been waiting for this kind of episode (episode with AoKise's plot)! From the start of this anime, I've always like Kise most. I knew there's something special in Kise besides of his copying ability. His air-blocking was good, however Aomine's team could catch up quickly. Sasuga Aominecchi D:

And.. OMG I LIKE THE FLASH BACK SCENES. I think Kise's song which titled "シャララ☆Goes On" is based on what's in this episode. Like Kise has said "Yabee! I found someone amazing!" over Aomine's plays is the same on his character song's line which said "It’s because I’ve been always searching for an admirable guy" (or somekind like that xD).

It. made. me. go. fangirl. all. along. the. episode.

Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.
