So happy this anime has returned, took me a bit to remember where the first season had left off since I keep up with the manga, but I remembered and oh I can't wait for all the events to come. That opening though, loved it and all the little hints of what's to come.

Yay, for Murasakibara and Himuro, love their voices. :D

Can't wait for next week!

Ahhh man i've been anticipating KnB S2 for so long OwO
That introduction was mindblowingly well done - hooray for Production I.G. They never fail to impress me. The engrish scenes cracked me up and Tetsuya #2 was cute as always o3o (specially with that broccoli scene)
I'm glad to see Murasakibara in the first episode, as well as Tatsuya. Nice to see some heated rivalry going in in the first episode.
Can't wait to see Akashi in action, too.

Ah, and I think I should also mention the anime with one of the most blood rushing BGMs is back with this. Tatsuya's intro music was just a warming sign (yeah, you read it right WARMING not warning). :D

This was a bit disappointing, maybe my expectations were high. The animation in the beginning was really great, so fluid. The ending saved the episode. Looking forward to this ^^

I'm in love. I always love some Engrish in my anime, always entertaining. Even better that the "americans" seemed to drift in and out of australian accents. Loved when Kuroko interrupted since "I don't like when you're indecisive". Terrific first episode overall, I absolutely love Muraskibara.

They sounded more British than Australian to me. It was one of the only things I could think about through the whole episode because I found it really jarring.
If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues.

They were like 12 so they weren't men yet. I think it's legit.

I do admit, it was slightly boring compared to my expectations but the amount of homo is pretty normal. LOL Buying rings is like girls giving each other friendship bracelets. Nothing too gay there, right?

Lol the engrish made me cringe so hard. The new opening and ending are sounding pretty good and the animation for the opening looks simply phenomenal. As a manga reader I was curious about Murasakibara's voice and I gotta say it is unfitting for his appearance but at the same time it's very fitting considering his personality.

I wonder if the Yosen match will be covered in this season. It'll be thematically fitting to end the season with Yosen given this season opener. However, if the match is included, the season needs to cover 20 more chapters than last season. If the season ends before the match, it will cover 4 fewer chapters.

ami_ammorette said:
Is it just me or the animation is on a different level from the first season? The introduction is suspiciously perfectly animated.


Production I.G seems to provide more budget for season openers and the last 2 episodes. But I do feel that, given the blu-ray/dvd sales of the 1st season, and also the fact that the winter cup's matches are much more epic, this season's episodes will be generally better animated.

They will definitely cover Yosen considering they showed the match preview in the 1st season last episode, and introducing a character that won't play in a match this season is a little anticlimatic.

Damn I'm so glad to see it's back. The OP is seriously amazing, easily my favorite one this year. It was great to get a look back into Kagami's life in America, I had always wanted to see that back story. The story between him and Himuro is good too, looks like they finally get to put their rings on the line this time. It was funny when Murasakibara just put the candy bar on top of the ball, damn that guy is huge.

Also one thing that had been bothering me since season 1 was the whole idea of what would happen if Aomine, Murasaki, and Akashi's teams clashed in the Inter-High, but it's interesting to see that none of them played during those matches. I wonder if it's to keep their capabilities under the radar for the Winter Cup or even something else.

Great first episode, Saturday is going to be my favorite day for a long time.

Fingers crossed, since that's the match I look forward to the most. Regarding the spoiler, that's pretty epic as well, but I doubt they will end the season with yet another match that Seirin isn't involved in. Of course I don't mind seeing it, but not at the expense of rushing the other matches (I actually love the Shutoku match so i hope they don't rush it for whatever reason).

HELL YEAH, Kuroko no Basket is finally back! Fantastic first episode. The OP was great, GRANRODEO singing it again. It was good to see some of the Seiho members again. Haha, the Engrish actually wasn't too bad. It was good that they had some voice actors that speak English fluently though. Wow, who would have thought Tetsuya was the one that got Taiga into basketball. Atsushi stopping the ball completely changed the atmosphere. He's INSANELY TALL! Damn, so hyped for the next episode. The ED was also really good, OLDCODEX returning as well. :D

AAAww YEaaa! this season just keeps getting better! first Hajime no Ippo and now Kuroko no Basuke! this is just epiccc!!

Kuroko no Basuke is a definite one of the best Sports series out there together with Slam Dunk which was the original Basuke series! and others like eyeshield etc :)

Really can't wait for the other teams to go against each other specially Rakuzan's double personality captain.

Some times i just wish that all of the teams that has atleast 1 GoM player will fight each other out with Rakuzan's captain using his ruthless personality. And actually see who wins.

definitely gonna stop thinking of reading the manga or else i end up like Shingeki no Kyojin, read the whole manga up to the last updated chapter and totally got bored watching the 25 episode series when i was already half way through it... It killed the curiosity for the next episode lol
