Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Akashi? Like, when Overflow is presented and we are shown a whole bunch of people with shocked expressions, but in the middle of it all it cuts to Akashi just standing there with an expression like: "Nope, still don't care."


Funny how he looked constipated in last episode's preview. Apparently they fixed it, since this nonchalant expression looks different and much better.

Edit: Actually they just changed the size of his pupils and the tilt of his eyebrows. Amazing how that completely changed his expression.

I really hope Aomine goes back to his middle-school self by the end of this. Kinda doubt it at the same time, though.

"Physics, dafuq's that?!"- Aomine Daiki while doing a 360 one handed dunk.

Gotta love those physics-defying moves. This show wouldn't be the same without them.

I disliked this episode, I felt like watching Yu-Gi-Oh instead of a basket-ball match. They're going way too far with this misdirection skill.

The animation's pretty terrible in this episode. Maybe next episode's is the one with the budget.

Kuroko's move is too silly, TBH. Still hyped for next episode though. :)

Cool idea but I don't like misdirection overflow. I think Kagami will become focused like Aomine. Think the writer should have scrapped misdirection overflow and just do the focus thing. Trying to hard to making Kuroko relevant. Still love the series though.

To much attention is on Kuroko allowing everyone else to misdirect >:D

MISDIRECTION OVERFLOW!!!!!

Damn. I thought this game would end this episode but we still have to wait for another week for the end.

Middle school Aomine is too cute and happy! Glad he's at least "slightly" returning to his old self. :D

Well, that battle sure is taking his time. Just how many episodes has it been going on yet?
Misdirection Overflow is still awesome though, but I wonder what they will do when they can't perform misdirection in future games...
But that first Izuki vanishing drive left me like : *O*

Great anime but I don't like the constant notion of inevitability that goes with it. What's all the crap about Seirin not being able to beat Touhou ever again because of the 'Misdirection Overflow'? It's a sport ffs, anything but predictable.

It's not that they can't beat them again, it's that they can't use misdirection overflow against them again since they'll know it.

Oh my gash that seriousness of aomine finally came out. I like it when watching seirin got crushed ultimately by toou especially by unstoppobal-aomine-kun.
The adaptation keeps getting better , I really like the soundtracks used .........................Hoping for surprises in the next episode!

Kuroko no Ridikurusu Basuke.

Next episode, Aomine's going into his "zone" O_o

I wonder if Seirin will ever try a zone defense against these guys.

Good episode. 5/5

I was hoping to see some Zone in this ep, but I guess next week will do!

This ep felt so darned short though! I've never been this into a game before!
I know how it's going to turn out, but still: GO KUROKO!! GO SEIRIN!!!

Since it's kuroko no basket, we need to focus on kuroko...

It's nice to see Kuroko using his misdirection overflow ! It was awesome... I didn't read the manga so I didn't know how good it is in the manga... haha xD

And Momoi is kinda overrated in this ep I really hate her... I don't know why but she annoys me everytime she appears. I want her to shut up and just watch the show... =_=

And next week is the
thing... the match is getting more intense between Aomine and Kagami xDD

They keep on showing their better skills... how awesome can they get ? xDD
It's good to see Aomine back.. and I'm waiting for Kagami to show some good stuffs !!

This, it was pretty cool at first but it quickly became a bore fest, probably because of the lack of suitable OST?

It is probably WAY too late to be saying this, but the superpowers are a bit much.
I can follow Inazuma Eleven's idea and I can follow a standard game of footie, not so much something that reaches out there into IE zone, has a bare bones explanation for the ability but still respects most of the real life standards and holds LeBron James and Michael Jordan as 10000000% better. >_>

NoongaJuice said:
BWahahahaha... come on, Production I.G. You didn't do anything when the other members of Seirin used the vanishing drive. They literally just disappeared in the next frame. Still, it took me a while to stop laughing even though I've already read this. Even though it had faults, I still loved this episode ;P Go Seirin!


Yep, the episodes are fun but the animation isn't as strong in parts as it should be.
It wasn't Production IG who pulled out all of the stops for the first season's final episode (aside from many other episodes and moments), I would cut them more slack on not matching the manga.

Next episode is when we get the Zone fully featured, so I hope that one has really strong animation to make up for this.

This misdirection overflow is a bit too overpowered... I get it has a huge drawback but Kuroko will still be able to use it without worry in future matches against teams Seirin won't face again.
Anyway, I enjoyed this episode thoroughly and surprisingly there were some scenes with impressive animation as well, too bad they were few and far between. Looking forward to see the final showdown between Kagami and Aomine...
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...

All around, I'd say that this was the most interesting episode this season so far. My only complaint would be that misdirection overflow wasn't as cool as I was hoping it would be.

you would be flabbergasted too if people were inexplicably disappearing in front of you.

I don't really like how they're animating this to make these things 'like magic'. like hyuga's barrier jumper is just a simple stepback shot. animate that. don't turn it into some bat boogey hex that makes hyuga teleport somewhere else on the court. kuroko's misdirection is supposed to 'misdirect' the opponents' attention away from the player, not make them invisible.

Although the idea of misdirection overlow quickly fails apart when you have to consider how retarded the other team has to be in order not to notice 4/5ths of the opposing seiren team. So I guess production IG had to make misdrection into a 'magic' move for S2.
