| Damn they are about to go in, zone vs zone next week. |
 |
| Wow, that Zone thing looks awesome, so that's why their eyes shined like that in the previous opening. I love that effect, damn awesome. Kagami recalling crying Kuroko arghh, too cute~! Also that moment when Kuroko just sacrificed himself to not lose the ball was amazing. Anyway, it looks like the next episode is the ending for this match, can't wait already! |
  |
| Looks like its all about Aomine and Kagami now. I'm sure that Kuroko still has a role to play. We shall see wat that role is |
| It finally has begun. Holy crap that was epic! I can't wait next week either. AND WHAT'S WITH THE AWESOME OST DURING AOMINE'S ZONE?! |
| Holy shit they're both in zone !! |
| I seriously thought this would be the last episode for this match lol at this rate we just might get one more in before the season ends. ever since S1 i thought this a little over the top but this season puts on a whole new level i find great joy in seeing ridiculolus this can get! |
 |
| ohh myy.. one more week to wait again and again :(( at this rate, i will go on from manga. animation is too perfect but i cant wait to see the rest.. |
| I felt that this episode was a bit rushed. Anyways, greeeeeeat episode as always! |
| zone aoimine vs zone kagami I can't for next week! |
 |
| Great battle. Aomine is a great character, complete badass and no matter what I don't think Kagami comes even close to his awesomeness. This is not a spoiler, since I never read manga, simply buzz-killer so I'd advise on not reading unless you're in a mood to listen to "whining" of a sorts. Sorry for rambling, I'm like that too often. |
| wew Aomine's Zone next let's see Kagami's Zone FTW Seirin |
 |
| Omg at this rate I won't get to see Midorima's next match... |
| "There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!" "Aah? Of course I won't miss!" "My blood tastes like Iron." "Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!" |
| Next week episode should be great! :D |
| This has to be the worst cliffhanger I've experienced in a while. I was confident that ep17 would be the finale of this match, but nope. They pull out this Zone shit and the 2 aces finally let loose. Goddammit, I really can't wait another week. ;_; |
| The Zone looked better in the manga imo, but we'll see how it goes next episode! |
| Finally The Zone! Goddammit Aomine, you're is such a badass. |
 |
| This episode freaking killed me. Btw I'm fine with the pacing if we get a third season this year or the next one ;o |
 |
| Damn that was intense, Aomine is a beast but so is Kagami, can't wait another week :( |
AsukaTenjyoin said: Sad, that they skipped the flashback when Aomine met Imayoshi and joined Touou. Same! Hopefully they'll show it later? Because it might have messed up with the timing to leave the episode at a cliffhanger of Kagami in the Zone. It would've been nice Aomine development. |
| Amazing episode. The ending was great. Didn't Aomine lose to Akashi's team? |
 |
| Aomine vs. Kagami. HAH , Touou and Seirin are ZONED. |
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| Aomine super saiyan vs. Kagami super saiyan what next? |
| Do you should be happy for life..? I do not. |
| This zone thing is really awesome.. Now kagami can battle aomine face to face.. And then cliffhanger ending... shit! |
     |
| the hype on that cliffhanger ending.. gawd xD |
NoongaJuice said: Omg at this rate I won't get to see Midorima's next match... Nope, the Shutoku vs ??? match is not going to be in this season, guaranteed. The season will end after the Yosen match (which is going to be more awesome than this one). I love how the zone is portrayed in the anime, with the glowing streaks trailing after Aomine as he makes his drives. It reminds me of Initial D; the trailing taillights. The sound effects, obviously lacking in the manga helped too. The animation, when Aomine made that steal, was just insane. It blew my mind for an instant. |
Rolexi said: As much as I love this anime, this match is starting to bore me with how long its taking. They're drawing it out way too much which IMO lowers the quality of the anime. How many GOM-fronted teams are Seirin going to face in the WC? At most 5 (they face fewer than that btw). If each match lasts 2-3 episodes, that's a really short WC, don't you think? Everything that happened last season was a build up for the WC, where Seirin face the GOMs on the same level (not quite with a certain team) and slug it out. The first 30 episodes were the sideshow. This is the main event. It'd be silly if a highly important (with the emotional stakes involved) revenge match against Touou and the monster Aomine lasts the same number of episodes as a preliminary match. Btw, they are not dragging it out, they are actually rushing it. Flashbacks involving Kagami's and Hyuga's training, how Kuroko and Aomine met, how Aomine and Imayoshi met etc, were all taken out and 4-5 manga chapters were being covered per episode since the match started. I can understand if someone finds the match boring if they are dragging it out at 1 manga chapter per episode, or if the action is repetitive and too predictable, but as long as it is exciting, why care about how long it is? Why not savor every bit instead? |

| -shivers- those eyes >< Best episode this week! Aomine and Kagami one-on-one can't wait for next weeks ep~ |
| I knew it! Seirin wont lose this time because if it's over then how will they face the other generation of miracles? I think next time they will face the purple center guy. Aomine and Kagami is so freaking awesome! |
 |
| Zone. How come no one helped Kuroko when he stumbled and hit a barrier? |
| Aomine is a beast, best GoM player. Kagami is becoming my favorite too, can't say about Kuroko though. Damn, next week's episode will be so awesome. |
 |
| DAMN. |
| No suspense for me for next episode. This match has bored me. Pretty obvious seirin won't lose but man this match lacked something for me. Oh well hopefully who ever they face next is a more exciting match than this one. |
| you sound poor |
| Critically speaking, before I watched the episode I was a bit tired of this game. Like move on to next one already... But after watching it, just wow... That Aomine is a monster! Kagami is even more of a monster! Been a while, since I watched a game that AMAZING! |

Gripsocks said: NEXT TIME ON KUROKO NO BASKET: AOMINE IS ACTUALLY SONIC THE HEDGE HOG AND KAGAMI IS KNUCKLES ALSO KUROKO CAN NOW USE SHADOW CLONES. --- Yeah lets keep eating the shit out of this bad writing because it's an anime so it can be as stupid as it wants and no one will question it. Your one and only favorite manga is Air Gear, which didn't even make sense half the time, especially toward the end. What were you saying about bad writing? |
| Shut brain off and enjoy people, if you start analyze and take it seriously than it's not worth watching. Yea the explanations and the shit they are doing are pretty ridiculous but who cares... It was a great episode, the tension in each episode is great. |
| "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone". Ella Wheeler Wilcox |
| Sparks are literally flying. Both Kagami and Aomine are in the zone. Epic. Damn... Kuroko's overflow is already losing its effectiveness. Kinda expected it though. Can't wait to see how this match will end. |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| I'm fine with the pacing but everyone's getting overpowered O_O |
| pew pew pew |
| Are you sure this is Aomine's true power ? xDD Don't try to pull up something like... I'm an even better Aomine later in the series... he was already awesome as shit !! And his zone made him even more badass ! totally overpowered ! xDD And yess, Aomine's smile is priceless.. I can see that Aokaga moment there... He finally found his opponent!! The two same type of player and the two with so many similarities... xDD Kagami is finally in the zone !! I can't wait for it !! I love the way Kagami is pressured to make it in the zone.. the way he screams in his head that he can't let his teammates lose anymore.. I like his voice there... and those eyes xDD I also believe in you, Kagami-kun.. >< |
| The Zone. Awesome intense episode. |
| so kuroko's tears activated kagami's zone...LOL |
| Someone should make a gif out of Aomine slaloming thorugh Izuki and Kagami, that was just awesome. Still, the most badass moment of this episode goes definitely to Kagami stopping him at the end. Can't wait to see the next episode. |
| 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 anime always gives me the shivers of excitement, anyone else? |
