| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Tension on the basketball court :o Nanao managed to make the episode more cuter but the amount of strategy fundamentals is interesting. Being a manager, I'm glad she's keeping up in pace with the others. Lol, the stakes of Madoka having the strip though. That's priceless. |

| Playing the game without their star players? I wonder what Chiaki's plans are. Can't wait. |

 |
| Damn the girls' team really be doing a "whoever offense" on Sora... ...Sucks to be him right now, the plays are getting into his head and is mentally draining him. |
 |
| The boys changed their two best players. I wonder what Chiaki is thinking. |
 |
| Chiaki made a great call by having Kite and Sora sub out, because I would have done the exact same thing. Can't wait to see what Chiaki's counterattack to the girls zone defense next week. |
 |
| Is actually good that the team is getting aware of basketball facts and team weaknesses. Will Chiaki and Co be able to witness the glory? Guess we'll have to wait 'till next week. |

| I wonder why they just can't set screens for Sora to shoot 3's. |
| I was really hoping for Madoka to be a good player or be someone very talented like Sora, by the looks of it she'll just end up as the pretty girl mascot of the show after all the guys improve their game. |

| Girls team definitely has good tactics to pair with their opponent's physical superiority. But now both teams have a strategy, time for the boys to show off what they can do ! After all, they have a good motivation to win this game hehe |

| Great Episode This is war |

| As a basketball player myself... This is so bullshit xD You can't stop someone 100x better than you even with 4 players. I played against a guy who played for national team on the streets. Me and my 4 friends couldn't stop him for shit. And I live in the Netherlands where the pro scene is just as bad as people on the streets. I am by no means a terrible player. and that guy just overwhelmed us. 4 of us couldn't stop him, 5 couldn't stop him. Kite should've been able to 5v1 them. |
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. | You know what I hate the most? People who aren't free. They're no more than cattle. |
| Aw man what a place to put a cliffhanger. Just when Chiaki turned so badass lolol |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Looks like the goal of these next few episodes is gonna be to drill in some team unity and 'team player' concepts into the boys. xD |
 |
| Nanao is really a great tactician and she's clumsy but actually very smart wow. |
 |
| Looks like this match is going to be much harder than expected, Nanao did a great job for the girls team. |
| Looks like Chiaki is the only one truly fired up for the match, his game is more focused than the others. |

| I'm so glad to see that Nao has actually something to offer to the show. She's such a strategist and the way she led the girls team was quite engaging to see. Great episode overall. My first 5/5 for this series if I'm correct. Regarding what happened, I predicted Sora being changed but Kenji's substitution took me a bit by surprise if I'm honest. Still, it was understandable considering his "lack of trust" in the others. However, with these changes, the team is now formed by the original five member of the club so the trust between players should be on level with the girls' one. Now, I can't wait to see what Chiaki has in store for them. By the way, I absolutely love the times when Chiaki gets serious but why deciding to conclude the episode when he was at his most badass level xD |
| I was enjoying it so bad that episode run out away without I could notice it, the ending just started and I gasped surprised. I will wait excited the next episode. This is getting better time after time. |
-¡Give yourself to me! |
| I'm honestly glad to see most of you talking about the game, and not about the "stake" in this game. The game is the only important part here, seriously. Now I'm gonna rant a bit. Just where was this ridiculously talented manager girl all this time?? She literally just joined the club, is now conducting her first match, and already knows the weaknesses of all the players and how to counter them?? That sounds bs to me. Yes she was taking some sneak peaks at some of the games before, but is that really enough to gather all the data? Don't you need much more time at this? Then I see the shounen tag, and say to myself, just who am I kidding? |

In all fairness to Nanao, individually each person on the boys team is extremely one-dimensional so I don't think it would take someone who's a good strategist and knowledegable about the game too much time to come up with some plans. |

Couldn't agree more with this one. I was so baffled when I saw Kite suddenly got triple - teamed the second he passed through his defender as if he couldn't have seen it coming when the rest of the girls are camping the paint. Though this is all ridiculous and whatnot but I do gotta give the author some credit since the author is doing this to make the characters have a development and realize their weaknesses sooner. Ah, and to also raise Sora's Basketball IQ lmao. |

| No 3 second violation lol |
| This was the worst episode so far... |

Daaaaang and here I thought I was learning so much about basketball strats..... Although I don't think Tobi/Kite has a lot of experience playing in a match. You could argue he's never experienced this kind of situation in-game before, so he got desperate and made mistakes |
 |
| oh look the girls can actually compete against the boys! Nanao's the strategist and Chiaki is also some sort of that as well! 5/5. |
 |
| I didn't like the part where women are overwhelmed by man... that was some bullshit -_- |

AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
| When girls do the formation, they look like they will dance xD Hmmm they explain about basketball! That's good. |
 |
| Wow I've learned more about basketball in just these 11 episodes than the entirety of Kuroko no Basuke. |
| Poor Sora, they took full advantage of his short height. Looking forward to see how this match will end. |
 |
| With stakes like that I would give them the match of my life. Nao is pretty awesome, exactly what the team still needed. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Tobi doesn’t have a lot of experience playing matches, he’s good but not that good. I don’t call any bs. And I like that they didn’t hold back just because they are playing against girls. And Chiaki wanting to be fair I think people are terribly missing the point when they expected any of them to be “good” players. Jeez....... |
 κ€ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing κ€ |
| With a nude body on the line you know afro man Chiaki is going to have full motivation to win. |
 |
| I'm not against a good bit of fanservice, but I'm rooting for the girls right now. They're better as a team, but they have clear disadvantages such as having to use their hands to cover their chests on screens instead of keeping them open for the ball. I do really like how the girls' team is playing a bigger role in this compared to most other sports anime. |
