| I want to say I'm also happy that there is no stupid fan-service in this anime : ) alot of anime these days rely on a cheap things to gain popularity .. sadly but this show really impressed me ! it reminds me of slam dunk which I consider "legendary" and one of the best of all time .. which is great ! |
| Oh ! Yes ! I LOVE Basketball !! ♥ ~ Kuroko is so cool character ♥  |

And cute moment when Kuroko missed and American boy saved the day. I sense a long series coming along??? The manga is very long but someone told me they think we only get 12 anime episodes? Doesn't make sense since they can easily make 25 ep's out of what's available probably even more. |

| Really enjoyed the first ep. Need to find the song that plays at around 18:50.. anyone know? (Probably have to wait for the OST to come out..) |
| Interesting first episode, nothing more. It was extremely cliché, shonen-ish (in a bad way) and unrealistic sports-wise though. Won't watch the second ep. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I love this! The first episode's really good, and the series itself seems very promising. Hooray for normal-ish anime! Except for that coach's numbers yeap. |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| Disappointing really because they went a little cliche and that disappearing thing is full of shit basically. Stupid trick in an attempts to impress those who get impressed easily. Let's hope that the games will have more than that. |
| Adaptation success? Adaptation success. |
| Hype so far .. That's some Dwight Howard shit ryt there! ;) |
 |
| Of course this should be good, the manga is so far ahead and can keep going on, it's shounen jump we talking about. I got a feeling of it's going to be far away until Kuroko really become useful. The music is catching thought :) |

| Awesome passes are awesome; Kuroko is a interesting character and i know he will eventually develop his game, maybe after he finds someone who can predict his passes or something; but for now its still pretty good :D |
 |
| Basketball with bishies? Hell yeah! Great first episode looking forward to more. 5/5 |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| This is honestly my first sports anime and I was pleasantly surprised. Great first ep. What makes it even better is Senjougahara voices the coach omg. 5/5 |

Serduszko said: To be honest, after seeing it I gonna puke. I wanted sth DAMN GOOD as Slam dunk or Buzzer Beater eventually BUT NOT; firstly anime about loli girls playing basketball, now this emo crap with awesome impossible things for dum kids EH. No wonder that some ppl say that it is Ok or even better. Without seeing those 2 above the judgement is simple. But yeah wake up. Are you filled with some random ice cream or with ice cream you love? Not gonna like...you made NO EFFING SENSE. Seriously bro, just say what you think, 1/10. I disagree and so does the majority of people but when you say so much and not make much sense, you're putting yourself out there to be trolled. |
 |
| After watching it I immediately read all of the scanlated manga in 2 days... that's how hyped I am, y'all should read the manga along with the anime. There is also a few funny "bloopers" in the manga also. Either way this anime and manga somehow gives off this SWAG feeling to me. |
| AWESOME!!!! XDD this is the first time I liked first episode of anime moreover it's the first sport anime I really like.. hope the continuation still awesome, xD so full of bishies!! and Kuroko is kawaiii >,< P.S. I smell BL btw.. xixixixixi :p *no offense* |
| “You can easily pick anyone to flirt with just for fun or boost your ego, but at the end of the day, don’t you need someone to come home to?” |
| Kuroko almost reminds me of Steve Nash... except he can't shoot... or dribble... or make a layup xD This episode was awesome though, can't wait to see how this story develops! |
| I've been interested in picking up a good sport anime for a while and this came at the right time. Basketball is always an exciting sport to see animated and it doesnt look this will disappoint. Gonna stick this one out with a smile I think. =) |
 |
| Eps.1 is totally cool. Kuroko is shadow, so the stronger the light, Taiga, the shadow become blacker .. |
| I've gotta say, freaking. amazing. I was trembling with excitement the whole game, I kept wondering... Holy balls what's this guy's awesome skill... and then. OMG HE'S A DAMN NINJA Freakin' amazing. |
| Randomly looking for high compatibility with other people. Click and see if you have high compatibility and leave a comment in my profile. It'll make my day. :)  |
| I have better feeling about this sport anime than Area no Kishi - which turned out to be godawful later. Too bad logos for these anime more often then not present it like some bishounen series with sport as excuse to take shower together. Just dont draw bunch of guys in one rectangle of space. |
| Kuroko is quite an unique main character in a sport anime, nice... but why is this anime get a late night slot? i thought it would be aired on sunday/saturday morning... In japan, only otaku watch a late night anime, and did they expect them to be excited about sports when their sleeping habit is that bad? And there's no moe character or ecchi stuff in this anime...... i just hope it wont fail since it's quite good... |
twoto2 said: Came already.And does anyone know when episode 2 comes out ? |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
Fiji said: Now this is my second sport anime that I am watching right now that are airing. me too. this is the 2nd new sports anime that I'm watching. The 1st being Area no Kishi. I like this one, but the only thing that bothers me is the shading on the characters (but I guess it's exactly like the manga, from what I've seen). I really like the story though and can't wait for more episodes :P |
| This was unexpectedly good, I'll definitely watch more of this. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| That was interesting. :) |
| I love kuroko~ so much!! he's so cute and cool too~~~~~~~<3 love the anime~ |

| KYAAA!! IM LOVING THIS SHOW!!! 5/5 |
| A new amazing series!!!! This show is so worth it. XD It's unique as well, Kuroko style of playing is kinda cool and unexpected. |
 |
| Great first episode, I think I'm going to love this show. |
 |
| Not much of a basketball fan (huge hockey fan), but I really enjoyed the first episode. |
| This show..... is like a dream come true! Best first episode I've ever seen IMO. I loved every second of Slam Dunk but didn't find a "true" favourite character in there. I think Kagami is going to carry the show for me, he's already a favourite. I'm already liking the MC too, he's interesting. Also, I really like how they threw away the "Ossan" Coach factor and brought in a cute yet talented high school girl. ^^ I'm loving this whole Light/Shadow idea too. I'm interested in Kagami's delinquent American past and Kuruko's flashback with his team-mates. At this rate, this show will probably overtake Slam Dunk for me! |
 |
| I love the voices of the characters esp Kuroko's! This anime will not fail to disappoint, not just cos of the voice acting but the art, animation, adrenaline-rushing opening song, and (hopefully)faithful adaptation. Hopefully they'll adapt the manga bloopers and maybe have a couple of filler eps but not too long like some animes. |
| Looks like it's gonna be a good 'un. Definitely watching more. :) |
| Fuckin' awesome Gonna watch all eps tomorrow |
| End Zionazism |
| Holy crap why did I not start watching this until now?! O_O LOVE THE OP AND ED LOL (HYADAIN ♥) Kagami's so freaking awesome LOL XD Kuroko is pretty cool too with his shadow thing going on, though you'd think that people would notice if there were only four people since he'd be the fifth "shadow" (unless he's ACTUALLY a sixth player in which case, that'd be illegal. So I'm assuming it's the former lol). Since I actually DO have some knowledge of basketball, it'll be interesting to see if they break any rules to run this show XD SHIRTLESS BOYZ IN DA FIRST EPISODE?! OMG LOL XD I was like ... wtf man XD She's actually pretty awesome though. I wasn't expecting Kuroko to be so sucky at everything but passing, but it'll be interesting to see where this goes ... I expect a tournament thing facing each of the schools with the Generation of Miracle players. Oh and the whole shadow/light thing at the end there ... oh my god, no wonder I thought this was yaoi from the pictures I saw omgggg lol XD |
| Finally started this series today. Few things to say:
|
 |
| Great start , got me interested throughout the episode . |
 |
| Wow what a cool start.I'm hooked this show looks amazing |
