This episode was pretty intense. Everyone keeps saying that no one can beat Aomine, but couldn't the red haired guy from Generation of Miracles do that? Aren't they implying that he's the strongest out of them all?

Kagami was so damn badass. Also, I literally burst out laughing when Aomine stole Wakamatsu's alley loop.

Cliffhanger! Boo.

So this is where all their budget went. After 14 lacklustre episodes, they've finally delivered an episode on par with season 1. The pacing of the game was superb, the animation between aomine and kagami's duels were excellent and they even set it up nicely for imayoshi's lockdown on kuroko.

None of bromance/emo shit anymore, time to ball out.

Good episode as usual, but I dunno... it seemed a lot better when I read the manga. They skipped the interlude with Alex in America, but I still don't think 25 episodes is enough for the rest of the matches, let alone the massive block of backstory to come. What will you do, Production I.G.?


Do you think this interlude might be show after the match or something like that? I'm curious to know who this Alex guy is.

Alex was already shown in the Opening. And it's not a guy^^
Hyuga Junpei: “Yeah… I’m confident… Because my teammates will help me out! I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!”

Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.”

Kagami's formless shot would've gone in, except for Aoimine just touching the ball, right???

But nice episode, pretty intense.

Well pretty much that, it's been repeated for who knows how many times, but the next episode will not be the last, it will probably last 3 more episodes at least.

HOT DAMN!!! Aomine and Kagami going toe to toe on the court!! My heart couldn't take it!
Oh, and this...
Hahahaha!!!

Seriously, though. I don't know whether to tongue kiss Aomine or punch him in the face. He's just too OP that it almost takes something away from watching the show.

Aomine's shots were shutdown !!! :O that's sort of unbelievable but really exciting. Kagami is become more and more awesome <3

Wow, even Aomine can't make a shot like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Tdt7ypcVa8

Kagami told Cat-face his screen didn't affect the outcome but I think it did. Remember how Aomine took the ball out of Kagami's hands when he was about to shoot in season 1. And then in the 'tactical simulation' last episode, Kagami imagined Aomine doing the same thing. With Koganei in the way, Aomine couldn't steal the ball and could only block. It limited his options so I think it affected the outcome in some minuscule way.

Somebody mentioned this in a youtube video and I completely agree. Kagami wasn't merely attempting to copy Aomine's formless shot; it was a precursor to that move that starts with the letter M (manga readers will know). Unconsciously, the seeds of that move were already planted.

So, some things can only be seen behind the Kagami. I suspect that the author initially wanted Kise to have the name Kagami (mirror) but eventualy stuck to the whole color themed surnames.

Everything is going great, but it s a little disappointment that there's just a single episode showing their training and power-up before winter cup.. Think about Eyeshield 21, there was a very impressive arc about their strengthening... plenty of episodes about Death march in America.. It was so cool.. In KnB, on the other hand, we didnt even see what kagami have gone through in USA at all... They will probably be shown us as flashbacks within the games

Seriously, this show very much resembles Eyeshield 21 in so many ways... Kuroko's vanishing drive is almost a copy of Sena's Devil Bats Ghost.. Riko's father has a gun like Yoichi Hiruma did... Besides, Kirisaki Daiichi's laming style of play is very similiar to that of Dokubari Scorpions (Makoto Hanamiya's techniques are almost the same as Sasuke Kanagushi's. They both try to injure their enemies to win, both have very evil-looking, and they can read the body movements and certain behaviors allow them to figure out what kind of play the other team will use.) And the spider web concept can be related to spider poison technique that Hayato Akaba's team "Bando Spiders" had used..

Anyway, both Knb and ES21 is awesome. Sugoiii *_*

Just wow, that was seriously awesome.
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...

This is insane! I started watching this series less than a week ago, and I've already caught up??? I didn't even mean too! I am so pumped after watching this episode, I don't want to wait for another few days!! This will be hard. . .

And I really wanted him to get into the Zone in this ep. I had forgotten that Kuroko was going to come out again before that.

Wow.. cool episode ! I love how Kagami is already keeping up with Aomine's pace... And soon enough... he will beat you you damn Ahomine...

I know Aomine has been playing with streetballers way back when he was little and has a very high level of basketball skill but I really want to see Kagami kicking his ass next week!!

Go Kagami ! Beat his dark ass !! Show him your full power !! I can't wait to see Kagami smack him down !! ><

Stop being so confident in your team you damn Momoi... let Seirin beat you up! Your boobs will mean nothing anymore !! Haha !!

And man.. I'd like to see more of Wakamatsu and Sakurai's move ~
And Imayoshi vs Kuroko... oh yea..
