Teppei reminded me of Luffy in this episode. "Join my crew. I refuse your refusal."

shit episode, so predictable

a three point shooter who gives up basketball but in the end he really loves it? durrrrr where I already saw that

even if he doesn't go as far as mitsui (with his own gang) the similarities are really too much in this one

That dog scene, Momoi is more cuter than Nigou :3

Not bad episode, at least we finally know how the team created; and what happened to Teppei.

Teppei is funny because of his persistence but serious about basketball.

Riko's still the same as well as the other team members except Hyuuga.Lol @ Hyuuga's blonde hair XD so lame

Who's on the roof at the preview??

Good episode. Nice to know how Seirin Basukebu was formed.

I wish Hyuuga would dye his hair blond again. XD

An episode like this was needed to learn a bit more about the veterans of Seirin. It also managed to be enjoyable throughout the whole23 minutes, so I'm quite satisfied.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

I don't get it. I thought the recap was supposed to tell us why Teppei hurt his legs. This is just a sidetrack to showing how the team formed, and it's taking way too long.

It's unfortunate that the anime chose a different approach to revisit the past. Cos I prefer the manga version better, and it had some funny moments prior to them revisiting the past. But I understand why the anime took a different direction as they want to keep the pace of this show as fast as possible.

Kiyoshi is really an interesting character. He appears to be amicable and laid-back but he can really be tough and serious about the things he loves, in this case basketball. How far he actually went to test Hyuuga's seriousness about basketball really makes me respect Kiyoshi even more.

Also, I like how the author explores the perspectives from the teams and people who lost to the Generation of Miracles. It makes the readers/watchers sympathize with them and at the same, be amazed by how people like Kiyoshi overcame that despair.

Hmmm, I shall ship Kiyoshi and Hyuuga now. I don't give a shit what people think about it anymore. The ship shall sail. I don't carrrrrre. But still, it didn't answer the question, what did he mean by this is his last year? Hmmm. . . .

Hope it'd be answered next episode

Since it's a tie between Seirin and Shutoku, Seirin have to win against Kirisaki Dai Ichi.
But it seems like Kirisaki Dai Ichi might play a bit dirty.

Lol, Number 2 did a number 1 in Midorima's cart.
Aww, Momoi likes Number 2! (^_^)

Awesome, Kiyoshi and Hyuuga backstory. Dat hair tho.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

They just let it be a tie? no over time? so they both go through? weird.

I thought blonde Hyuga was hot! why did they all laugh, it wasn't funny.

Teppei didn't know there wasn't a basketball team lol. Awww, he just went there to be close to his grandparents who raised him and who he lives with! how sweet.

Kuroko and the puppy and Momoi! lol. I want Kise to carry me home :(

really? could you provide links?

first and foremost, i want to express just what a beautiful setting this scene is. the sky is perfectly colored, the perfect amount of clouds....when they were talking i could feel the cool air around me. even taking the picture doesn't do it justice. the city sounds were wonderful as well. the rest of the EP I l kept thinking about it lol.

and hyuga really does look awful in that blonde. i wonder why though. facial structure? skin tone?

L M A O at Momoi passing out like that & Midorima just ignoring her walking away while Kise’s like MOMOCCHI??!!!!!!? And then piggybacks her away. Lol that was hilarious & them just being like why the fuark do you have a CART & he’s like oh Takao just rides this cart with me in it everywhere no biggie trolllolllllollOOOOL

Kuroko remains ever so cute with no.2 hehehe

Wow the scene where Kuroko, Hyuuga & Kagami were walking on the bridge, the art was lovely! Really liked the colours

Wow what an episode....that back story was amazing. Kiyoshi was as dependable & dorky as always. He’s just so endearing. And ahhh, how far Hyuuga has come. Nicely done, truly a great episode.

Also wtf Aomine & no.2 in the ED ♡____♡ TOO CUTE. Smiling & happy Aomine saves lives







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there
