Dat falling backwards shot that Aomine does.Kise copies.Then it's a game of cat and mouse.

Ohh shit Kise's fakes to Kasamatsu!!!And Aomine saw it coming and blocked it!!!Thus stopping Kaijo's the last chance at winning.They don't give up though and continue playing.

98 to 110.

Touou Academy won.

Kise can't get up and we see a hand there to help him up but of course it wasn't Aomine but Kasamatsu instead.

Imayoshi mentions that there's even more to Aomine.I stop reading the manga at where the anime stopped but I already know that he's talking about
Kasamatsu is really pissed off/upset about losing.

Murasakibara appears,but Kuroko doesn't get the chance to greet him.And we finally got to see Akashi's face.

PV for season 2 looked awesome,really can't wait to see Murasakibara and Akashi play next season.

8/10.Definitely my favorite sports anime.Always felt like playing basketball after watching an episode.And had some really intense and heart pumping moments too.And the OST was phenomenal and intense too,it really fit the mood of the anime and games.

Good thing season 2 is starting in 5 days.Now to continue reading the manga where I left it off.

Meh. 6/10 for this finale.
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.

Finished this awesome anime in pretty much one day. Now to season 2 !
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!
Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!"

Loved that 'brawl', and Kise still calling him 'Aominecchi'. XD

Wonder if after the game Sakurai apologized a lot for spacing out and missing the pass.

Makes me sad to think that Kise was trying to give Kasamatsu a chance to make up for his past mistake, but couldn't even manage to get the ball to him. ;a;

Of course I loved the part where Kasamatsu helps Kise up in the manga, but it's great seeing it animated too!

OMFG I knew Kasamatsu's voice was sounding more and more familiar, and as I thought, his seiyuu voiced Sanada Yukimura in Sengoku Basara too! Very distinctive.

Interesting, Imayoshi might be afraid of a soft spot left in Aomine. But that's true, I do think Aomine still cares about all the things in the past, but he's had bury them with arrogance. I do prefer how the manga did the scene where Aomine said that there are no words for losers, because in the anime it came off more as arrogance, but in the manga it seemed to imply that Aomine didn't want to hurt Kise more by trying to console him when he'd just lost.

Kuroko's smileeee. 8D

Kise actually improved after his game with Kagami and Kuroko.Imo the current Kise is stronger than Kagami.
I was sad Kise's team lost but it was kinda expected for them to lose.
10/10 for the series and now I'll watch Season 2 :)

those last two eps were pretty epic, and very edge of your seat kinda stuff! atomine's character does kinda grate on me, playing for a basketball team myself I think I have just been drilled with how teamwork is so essential to winning games and it infuriates me how selfish he is and that he seems to have no real respect for his team mates, but maybe that's just being me, i think its obvious that's the character he was set out to be and he does play it well!

anyway... mini rant over a really amazing series and glad this was the first sport anime i decided to watch, although it sets the bar high now for any other that i decide to watch in future haha! obviously season 2 is airing now so will wait for it to finish and will marathon that too xD

That was a very good anime! Character interactions were funny for the most part, and the basketball action was always very intense. Last two episodes were fucking crazy. Was sort of conflicted where to give it a 8 or 9, but it didn't have that "extra" factor that very occasionally lets me give a series a 9 or a 10. So overall I give it a 8/10.

Hopefully we'll get to see Kuroko's team beat the rest of the miracle players, but especially Aomine again. Not really sure how Kagami will beat Ao since Ao seems like a way more complete player, but we'll see. Maybe its really the combo of Kuroko and Kagami that will beat him in the end and prove his individual basketball ideology wrong. I would fucking love for there to be an episode where they beat Aomine and he just breaks down on the court and in the locker room, recognizes he was wrong to think that way, and become an even better player for it..

Kise's growth and change was spectacular

So many interesting characters and intense matches with some nice comedy blend in
I liked the aspects shown here similar when I played basketball or any other sports representing the school even if it wasn't successful as shown here
It was easy to follow and watch the entire season in a few go's

Next marathon is season 2

This was great and all but I'm just frustrated at one thing... Momoi.. I think shes nothing but a hypocrite... saying she loves Kuroko and shit but you can see how close she is with Aomine.. childhood friend my ass. I blame the author for this. I think he made Momoi like that for two reasons. 1st: to add romance. yeah we all know and love basketball but an anime with only that will sure become boring one day so the viewers/readers need something to spice things up so yeah! a beautiful and sexy heroine for our dear MC.. what an eye candy! 2nd: for comedy.. we all know how dull and boring Kuroko is ( well when hes not in the ring) so it's really funny to think that someone like Momoi would fall for him and that happened because of something as petty as a winning ice cream stick!.. but in the end it was a failure.. it was a disappointing romance and the comedy sucks as well.. I hope there will be no more romance-ish in the sequel ( well they can if they'll make Momoi join Kuroko's school and cling all over him 24/7 like any loyal bitch would do and enough with the "I really love Kuroko but I can't leave Aomine-kun alone... kyaa~").. I didn't come here for that. I wanna see Kuroko do some badass shit.

Well with all that said this anime is still great. I score an anime based on enjoyment but because of Momoi I didn't manage to enjoy it to the fullest so I can't help but deduct a point.

Such a BLAST !!The battle between Kise and Aomine was so intense, i was hyped at the entire episodes too bad kise didn't win, and what is wrong with Aomine ? is he a the new version of Magic Johnson ? his teammate said that he didn't even give his best . i was like wtf ... BTW KnB has a decent arts for such a sport anime, pretty neat job, and i hope there'll be more Tetsuya in the next season.


Overall score 9/10, now onto the 2nd season

I haven't watched many sports animes but decided to give this one a try. It definitely was exciting and way better than prince of tennis. Loved the action and tension during those matches. I basically watched all 25 episodes in one day. I can't wait to see Kuroko's Style of basketball!

For me that game was more exciting than a lot of battle-shounen (eg Fairy Tail) fights, which is weird since I don't really like basketball or sport and watched Kuroko no Basket for no good reason.

Woah, anything Aomine does, Kise does too! Kise even has the same eyes as Kuroko.
But then... "My style of basketball isn't designed to rely on my teammates."
Dat last dunk tho. Thought Aomine would help Kise up, but I guess we'll just have bromance of Kise and Kasamatsu.
Thus Kaijo vs Touou has ended.

Aomine has an even higher level. Can't wait to see that.
Murasakibara and Akashi appeared! Dem credits.
"This winter will be war." Damn.

Finally made it through this first series. The utter ridiculousness of Aomine almost made me stop watching but I'm still able to suspend my disbelief. Kise really came into his own with that talent of his. I didn't realize how dangerous of a player he was until he faced Aomine.

also his team is annoying af especially the megane who has hijikata's voice...

OMG one of the best episodes in the whole series.
Even though they lost the game, it was still awesome, just like the captain said; Loved them feels; Kise and the Captain crying was so intense .....
Anyway, the other two members of the Generation make an "appearance" and we get to know that Aomine can be even stronger and Midorima is also looking forward to the Winter Cup.
Love to see Kuroko and Kagami teaming up even harder and also ready to take on the Winter Cup.

Next season it's gonna be even more epic *.*

First time I'm watching a sports anime, and I'm quite amazed by this series so far. The intensity in each match was being matched so perfectly with a great soundtrack/OST/BGM and the characters were all amazing, loveable and well made. I especially loved Kise and Midamori, my favorite characters in this show so far but Aomine is one hella badass as well and Kuroko and Kagami doesn't fall that short from em either. I'm looking forward to season 2

I'm a bit late on the Kuroko no Basuke train, but this first season was good nonetheless. Deep inside I wanted Aomine to come out on top, I mean he's just that cool of a character haha. Just like pretty much every other sports anime, over glorifying invokes hype to the audience- and Kuroko no Basuke was no exception. 7/10 some episodes were just slow lol, I JUST WANT TO SEE SOME SMOOTH BASKETBALL ANIMATION!

wow this was such a powerful game!

i didn't expect kise to win against aomine, since this victory is what would/will bring him back to who he was so of course they will leave this honor for kuroko. which kind of irks me since it's too much of a cliche - if im right, i don't know since i don't read the manga. but all this mc = hero is tiring to me.
maybe because the generation of miracles ARE the most interesting characters in this story.

also, some people might agree with aomine's team mate about how rude of him not to comfort kise over his loss... but that was a moment i believe aomine couldn't be more right. this whole sympathy from winners towards players only look good for the cameras. and especially after this intense game, there was no room for that.

oh well, on to season 2 :D
i'm so curious about akashi!
