Lol, playing basketball with socks. No wonder he slips.

I kinda feel bad for the new manager girl. She's got all these guys to manage and some of them are such goofballs. At least she's kinda keeping her cool and being a role model.

New OP and ED! OP song is nice.

I feel like translating Tobi into Kite is a wrong decision.

And Tobi/Kite hairstyle is kinda like Yasuhara now, good thing that Tobi/Kite usually wear kercheif on his head, sometimes I confused between these two.

Oh! What if that middle-school boys are just very good, maybe inviting them at practice match would be interesting. Though he already has a girlfriend... I'd prefer him to stay single.

Also, interesting that this show focus on covering the weakness instead of polishing the strength point (like dunk shot).

Is there a new character coming?

In the OP there was a character that kite passed a ball to and they didn't look familiar to me, is there a new guy joining the team soon?

I'm wondering when will the last member of the team show up ! He gained more importance during the opening, so his first appearance should be soon enough

that's Kaname, he was on the first OP as well, and has been on the listed characters since the start lol i don't think he appeared on the anime yet tho (and no, i didn't read manga yet)

The new theme songs are not outstanding, but nice.

Episode was ok. Taro was introduced and he seems like a "joke", at least we're supposed to underestimate him. He didn't really leave a strong impression, just hope the match against Kitasumiyoshi will turn out to be hype.

We got a new OP/ED so its going be awhile before I get use to them. So the team is getting ready for another practice match by working on their defense and mastering the pick and roll technique.

Yayy, Yuuma Uchida is one of my favourite voice actors and he sings the ending song, he sounds amazing!

This episode made me realize how much I'm starting to love these boys, their drive for the game has completely changed.

I also like these changing hairstyles, Yasuhara has suddenly started to look like a goddamn stud with his hair down. Tobi/Kite also looks good when he takes his hair out. I'm now waiting for Momoharu to change his hair and this Kaname dude to join the game :)

Taro was pretty funny this ep, someone plz reply to him. I really like those characters who are overly comical but badass when the time comes

new OP and ED are ok I guess. Don't think anything can beat the first ED though

Yeah the new ending is here!!! I can view Momoharu singing lol since it's his seiyuu who sing it and it's one of my favorite seiyuu. I'm glad the song sound different from both Kono Oto Tomare ending.

Good episode, next match is coming. I'm wonder when Kaname will appear...

That gentlemanly formal exchange between Chiaki and Taro about poor Nao was too much xD
The new songs are nice, but I'll have to listen to the old and new ones together before really taking my pick.

PS: Taro reminded me of "Mr. Taro" from Bokuben lol

Yuuma Uchida, uh? So basically Momoharu sings the new ED xD

Average episode after the two-weeks break. Don't really care for Nabe and Chuckie's characters but at least, I'm glad to see the team showing more confidence in their game.

Not really much of an episode review, but can I just say that I absolutely love how they did the beginning of the OP. Tiny Sora trying to shoot then passing the ball to bigger Sora for a shot. Thought it was really well done and definitely felt something while watching that *-*

Echoing everyone else in that I'll really miss the other OP. I would've been fine with Happy go ducky being the OP for every single episode. Loving Uchida Yuuma singing the new ED, though. He's seriously become one of my favorite seiyuu ever. I'm really loving Natsume now and all the advice he offers everyone.

Taro was SUCH a Fukuyama Jun character. That was great.

A bit sad not to hear Tsubasa anymore bec I loved it so but Yuuma singing the new ed is okay. Love him! Hope it grows on me—both the op and ed.

Also, hearing Fukujun was a delight, always! <333

Chiaki never fails to make me laugh lol

Maybe it's boring to you because this is a previous stage before the matches. But all the sports animes are like this.

The new OP and ED are great - it's cool to see them focus on tactics.

It'll be really interesting to see what happens in the game.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

It was an okay episode. Obviously, everyone on the team is a pervert and can be easily swayed to do something in the name of perversion. Remember that episode where they wanted Madoka to strip if they won a game against the girl's team? There's only one more member who hasn't joined and we don't know if he's a fellow perv or not. Let's hope he is so they can all volt in.

flumpool for OP <3 Could tell it was Ryuuta right away. I liked the OP content as well :> Uchida Yuumaaaa! He sounds a little deeper in this song.

FukuJun's character is pretty funny, haha. Lucky for them that Nao has connections and could get a practice match in with a high level team.

Ah I like the OP2 (flumepool!!!!!!) & ED2. ED is very nicely sung by Uchida Yuuma β™‘_____β™‘ & the visuals are great too. Wow they sure want to hype Mamo’s character. Why did they include him in the 1st OP is there wasn’t even remotely any sign of his appearance lololllll

Woooo Madoka went to visit Momoharu at the hospital. Tho they didn’t show it. Woulda been so cute!!!!

Fukuyama Jun’s character introduced as well. I laughed when Tobi asked Momoharu to beat that guy up hahaha. He sure seems like a joke so far but I wouldn’t be surprised if he & his team are going to be worthy opponents. I like how realistic the pacing is like for a team their standard, they play matches well within their abilities

Nice to see Momoharu back from the death

Nao's cousin really has a great eye for discerning the true ace of the team: Nabe
