Shutoku is just ridiculous, full court shots with the ability to block Kuroko's ability. GAHH!

Still an awesome episode though. I'm just excited to see what Kagami has in store for us.

Finally!The match is finally starting!!!
Though, it sucks since there is a copycat of Kuroko!

Heck, Midorima is just a badass.
I have a feeling now that Kagami has some kind of mode which he will improve.
Cannot wait to see him like that.

And Kuroko beat that Takao guy already!

Takao showing Kuroko up. Midorima sinking full court bombs. They're not even making much (or any) use of Otsubo who Seirin apparently couldn't stop last year. Guess it all depends on Kagami and whatever he's planning. Awesome episode though, cannot wait to see how Kagami handles this Shutoku domination.

Awesome episode!!! But Midorima, why u too OP...and that Takao really knows how to make a person frustrated.

But no fear...Kagami will probably go beast mode next episode and start jumping high enough to stop the shots...but man that cliffhanger was too cruel, I can't wait a whole week for next episode T_T

Oh..and lol at the captains Sengoku collection XD

Full Court.....they should have just stuck to Half Court, making him be able to shoot that far is to OP; but that said it was still an awesome episode; Midorama's high arc shots are awesome.

I haven't read the manga so i'm not sure who wins, but i have this feeling like Seirin is going to loose. The next episode's title "What is Victory?" seems like they're going to loose the game but feel like winners or something cheesy like that.

Seirin getting pawned with every move. Damn, loved that.
Midorima is like a God on the court. I could watch him play all day long.

And I wonder what Kagami will do next episode. Can't wait. This is one of those rare shows which has the power to be marathon-ed with.

And that music at the end <3

I do hope Seirin does not win the game as it would be too 'Fairy-God-Mother-y'. Want a tie between them.

Holy shit, Midorima's full-court shots are unstoppable. Takao's ability also stops Kurokom from doing any misdirections. With those two, even Kuroko and Kagami can't do much. 3 full court shots from Midorima, he can basically win the whole match by himself, sheesh!

Omfg, that was so epic. Kagami's entering beast mode. That tune playing during that scene was so dope as well >=D

This episode was so awesome. Man, I seriously cannot to see what happens next week.

I can't help but be amazed and at the same time be frustrated with Midorima and Takao ....they are monsters especially Midorima.

Kuroko! Hurry! Think of something.. and Kagami! Woah.. beast mode?!?!?

But I love the Generation of Miracles flashback. And that ending song is so cool.

Oh my.. i am really tempted to read the manga now...

When someone shoots like that do you honestly think you can do anything about it...

True. But it would look better if they put some effort in at least getting up there to block him. Ever seen a Basketball game irl? They block even if there's no chance of them stopping the shooter. But this is anime, so. xD

Midorima, you crazy beast. I want more, please.

Go Kagami!

Yes, there's 3 things they could be doing right now.
1) Double mark Kagami with tall players and force him to move around and get tired.
2) Rush Kagami and jump/make noise to cause him to get flustered. He's the type of person that believes he wont miss and when he finally does he'll realize he's risking too much with long shots which will result in him not doing them so much.
3) Keep a tall player back by the net so when Kagami does shoot the full court shot the tall player can attempt to block as it's falling into the net or rebound it if it misses.

It's quite funny how the guy stopped Kuroko's backtip with moving screen, which count's as a foul. I do not know about the rules in Japan but if you denie someones movement in certain way, it's called "a screen" and moving as a "screen" will count as restraining and earns you a foul.

Thats how I learned it on my basketball career and I can certainly say that the "screen" which denied kurokos movement as a defender, was a moving screen for sure.
Do you think this is a motherfucking game?

I think you mean Midorima, not Kagami.
And suggestion 3 won't work because that would count as goal tending, therefore giving the other team the points regardless.

Oh. Even I was thinking just that. That Kagami can snatch the ball away before it drops into the net. But you can do that with 2 pointers right? I think I've seen it before. So why not with 3 pointers??

I think ur misunderstanding something...midorimacchi does not miss, he cant miss and as ridiculous as it sounds its bcos hes from the GoM, i read the manga so i know his "weakness" and in case u havent noticed seirin doesnt have any tall players besides kagami and hes only relatively tall not monster tall, didnt mean to be rude but the GoM are GODLIKE

It's Midorima not Kagami
1. Seirin is half tired right now because they had a match earlier on, though that's a possibility if they try.
2. Possible but really hard as when Midorima gets into form, he never misses. Either they do the double team or simply try to block his shots once he shoots.
3. Only tall player is Kagami(he's their center). And that's goal tending and the basket will count if you do that.

A full court shot ? that's really ridiculous, like someone here said they should've stopped at half court shots, but well it's still shounen.

Excited to see how they're gonna beat Midoromi or what strategies they have against his team, and what Kagami will do with his Rage Mode.

Nice episode. I do not mind unbelievable moves or full court shots as long as they entertain me. This is shounen show in the first place.

So far, the series is in good pacing. Showing how they played the game was what I really like in this show. Good animation and music hit the spot for me. The middle school flashback was a great welcome too. I look forward to Seirin's awesome moves next week on how they will counter or shut down Mirodima's 3-pt shots.

If you guys are ugh-ing on Midorima's shooting skill already, you're gonna have a hard time watching this anime's season 2. Or maybe you might have a hard time with Aomine's match.. x3

Screw reality and reasonings and you might just enjoy it more. I hafta admit I kept on giggling how shounen it is while reading the manga, though. x3
