Seeing that they only have 2 episodes left, wouldn't that mean that they would just end it with Seirin vs Touou prologue then continue it on the second season? I mean, their game won't obviously fit just 1 episode. /sigh

just wondering if they're going to make another season for it, cause this show is just too awesome :D.
I've hardly ever watched any sport show, but this is the only one that I have to watch ...

Nice episode. It's better than the manga. Next week episode we will delve deeper into Kise's character development. As the series goes on, Kise has become more and more serious, discarding his previous playful and carefree image. It's a nice development I'd say.

The music was great this episode! I really hope Kise manages to beat Aomine somehow, I would love to see that! And the flashbacks were so adorable.

Really Really Really did enjoy this episode and from what I read of the manga (Cause I am up to date with it and don't worry won't spoil anything) The next episode is going to be epic!

I'm guessing Kise wants to play isolation vs Aomine so he can try to one on one him more

Awesome match !

I really want to know what Kise will do next week, I've got the idea that he will try to copy Midorima's shoot from middle court..

Great episode. Although some are reused frames, the overall game and animation were fantastic. My heart jumped several times from my chest watching the badass match between the team, and Kise and Aomine. A glimpse of Kise background and how he started playing the sport made this episode more worthwhile.

I knew Kise was awesome. I just knew it.

Still this show far exceeded my expectations. I never thought I'd like a show about basketball.

Even if it seems that they prefer to spend their match talking instead of playing I really appreciated this episode! I like Kise and the flashback was very interesting. I don't really stand Aomine but I've just loved the relationship between these two guys. This match is going to be exciting!

I hate to say this, but even i'm noticing all the faults on how unrealistic this is. Mainly the fact that Aomine talked way too much while holding the ball in the beginning. That is the only thing that bothered me this episode.

BUT, i'm not a basketball fan anyway so i don't really care all that much.
Aomine needs to loose. Like now. To Kise. I want Kise to win and beat that damn, arrogant, OP bastard.

It's amazing how well Kise is playing against Aomine. Aomine is still unstoppable though.

I saw that there were some scenes that were reused, like some passes to Kise.

I'm curious about what Kise has in store for us though.

Come on Kise!!!!!!!!!!!!! \o/

Aomine needs to be stopped, but I think Kise will fail although it might be really close.
I guess Kuroko's new style will stop him.
Only 2 more episodes to go.

I totally agree with you! These pictures at the end of every episode should be but in an ARTBOOK. I would then definitely import it from Japan :)

And I find it kind of strange, because it says, that the anime will only have 25 episodes but in the OPs and EDs they also show the other 3 players from the generation of miracles, especially the guy with the long violet hair and the one with the short, red hair, but until now, neighter of them actually apeared in the anime... I haven't read the manga because I don't like the art in that one and so I'm sticking with the anime :P That's why I also don't know when they actually apear in the story.

So this will / should get at least get another 25 - 50 episodes, for up to see what will happen in the winter competition, for whom they all practice. The anime can't just be left to this...

So..that glasses guy always plays with his eyes closed. Seems legit.

Looks like the quality of the show didn't improve for the finale. Smalls heads everywhere.

At least Kaiju showed their true power.

OMG I just realize that this is when YUKIMURA face MASAMUNE in basketball! (seiyuu) Ok, don't mind me.

Am I the only one who care if the seiyuu have already been in the another anime with another seiyuu of the actual series while watching anime?

And I like Kise.

I don't get this. Aomine started acting all stuck-up and bored of basketball because no one could challenge him, yet here Kise is challenging him just fine. So what was he all upset about basketball getting boring when he had such people for opponents?

EPIC EPISODE! Have to mention the AMAZING BGM as well ...
LOVE the focus on Kise! It'd be amazing if there was some more, but I guess they can't show that much :') Ah, I'd love to see more of their middle school days :P Especially loved it when Aomine said he couldn't go easy on him even though he was new ...
Seems like both teams are quite evenly matched. Aomine gets stronger as the game goes on ... but what about Kise? Hmm ... seems like he's got a plan that he wants to be put into action! :O
Seriously though some of these things are still kind of WTF XD Like OMG YOU JUMPED TWO SECONDS BEFORE ME BUT I CAN STILL CATCH YOU HAHA XD Or them being tied at the end of the second ... they played 9 minutes without anyone scoring?! Wtf lol ;P
Though it seems like Aomine's stronger right now it seems like Kise's just getting fired up. The preview ... he's given up on looking up to Aomine?! :O This should be really interesting!

I thought Touou would curbstomp Kaijo from the very beginning. I guess they've really improved.

Honestly though, I wanted the training camp to last longer. Kurobasu: slice of life has a very cute feel to it.

Kise mastered sports too quickly and was bored,until he met Aomine and got interested in basketball.

Kise stopped one of Aomine's shots.

Kasamatsu is a pretty good leader.And lol'd at Hayakawa talking,this speech was even harder to understand in the manga.

Intense game and it' only just begone.Things are going to get serious next episode.

Lol Kasamatsu and Hyuuga are a bit alike with their tempers.

Hayakawa's speech pattern wasn't as put out there as in the manga.

I like Kasamatsu's knee socks...

Pfft Wakamatsu can be pretty loud like Hayakawa~

"Uchi no Kise" ehe.

Very cute end card!

Also, this is so random but I loved seeing Aomine and Satsuki walking home together LoL. They are a pair that needs to be emphasized more by the author.


From the light novel here:

“Satsuki… Could it be…”

Her eyes sparkled.

“You already have someone whom you like?”

“Ah!?”

Briefly, Momoi’s cheeks flushed red. Of course, this did not escape Izumi’s eyes. She firmly hugged Momoi’s shoulders, wearing a proud expression as if saying ‘Hmph, I found it out!’.

“Oh, oh, no wonder! Who is that person!? Aomine-kun!?”

“Of course not! That guy is merely a childhood friend! It’s because he can be too unruly, so I have to keep an eye on him… There’s absolutely no other reason!”


It goes on to show Momoi watching Kuroko and about her feelings for him. I'm sure there are Momoi-Aomine moments in the light novel too, haven't read it yet!

Hmm, Kise can stop Aomine, but Aomine has agility and skill. Kise has no weapon.
But because of that, Kise has to use that thing.
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.
