| I'll give it an 8/10. It was great but some parts felt slow and dragged out now and then. Great OST and the animation was pretty solid. Look forward to seeing Season 3. There's definitely enough material for it. |
 |
| Blake Griffin's dunk! |
| Dat Dwight! Sooo... Definitely waiting for season 3. |
 |
| This episode explains why i love KnB so much.Epic basketball, amazing rivalry, tons of emotions, most of the time great animation and awesome OST.Lets not forget about awesome characters as well.I see that lots of people arent really fans of Murasakibara, but personally i like that guy.He shows that even tho some people think that they hate what they do in life, deep inside they really love it. Great season 9/10, such a cliffhanger tho.It feels like we're going to see next episode in a week...but its not happening :/.Also that guy walking in corridor, i wonder whos that. Waiting for OST to release, and of course season 3. |
 |
| IT's the middle of the night, I'm screaming my head off, I'm trembling without end, I can not wait to see the Shutoku vs Rakuzan game! Or the Kaijo vs Seirin game! Next season please come soon! |
| The 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew adaptation is not as great as you remember it being. |
| I want to give it a 9/10 but I feel like it's overrating it...I love it, yet at the same time I want to rate objectively. :( I felt like the Yosen arc was a bit less interesting compared to Touou arc. Generally what happened was: Oh no a titan, then Kagami gets into the Zone and kills 'em, then Mukkun gets more seriously, then Seirin wins just by a little bit. Also, the superpower basketball got just a tiny bit tedious, although I still liked it. Season three when? Where? :) |
| Dat Meteor Jam! I'm somewhat disappointed with this season. I feel this isn't really the appropriate place to end this season but I know this arc isn't over yet so I just got to accept it. :( Hopefully they won't take too long to animate the 3rd season. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| great ending to this season. kagami really rocked it. ost was pretty good this episode too. they should've kept it up in the other episodes. overall, not as good as the 1st season but it was still decent. 8/10 they set the scene up for a 3rd season so looking forward to it |
| Perfect. Simple that. One of the best anime of all time for me, this season 2 was GLORIOUS! Can't wait for S3. |
| Damn Akashi looked mad creepy there at the end with his stare down with Midorima. I swear if Murasakibara only entered the Zone 10 seconds earlier, in their attack when there was like 30 second left, they would've scored, and won. Still it was a great final match, and awesome season overall. |
 |
| It was quite intense, not really as good as season 1, but it had some great moments. 7/10 Waiting for the third season! |
| I don't see a season 3 happening anytime soon because the manga as far as I know, just got to the finals but then again how many matches did this season cover? |
| That last play with Kagami was awesome Can’t wait for season 3 |
| Nothing much to say. Production I.G delivers again. Can't wait for S3. JCDRANZER said: Sure season 3 will happen soon. There's a pretty long flashback before the finals so...I don't see a season 3 happening anytime soon because the manga as far as I know, just got to the finals but then again how many matches did this season cover? |
| Awww, Murasakibara being all tsundere. I disliked him pretty early on, but seeing him cry made me like him a little more. I cried too, but just because Kise's match was so close, yet so far away. Kiseeeee. Anyway, good finale to a really good season. But personally I think the first was a LOT better. 8/10 |
 |
| It needed more Kise . Hope I get that on season 3 |
| This shows basketball can be hilarious sometimes ....TF is meteor jump?!? He jumps from the free throw line , he's above the rim and just tosses it in wth? Also that mirage shot is a self pass because he passes it to himself in mid air and its not a shot attempt. By the time you throw the ball in the air your already on the ground , no matter how good of a shooter you are its not possible to pass the ball to yourself then shoot. I get they tired to make him like a smooth player and all that and in previouse episodes he looked nice before they included the silly mirage shot. Smh why I even care to point out these things in this anime is beyond me since it will always disregard real basketball *sigh* |
| Epic episode, epic anime. I'm waiting for 3rd season!!! |
| This was a good episode to end this season, but the very last scene didn't feel conclusive at all. Anyway, all in all I think Kuroko no Basket 2 lived up to its predecessor. I thought the first half was a bit underwhelming, especially because there was one of the worst match in the series (the one against the cheating team). It also took me a while to get used to the new ost which grew on me, though. Still, the matches against Aomine's and Murasakibara's teams were so good that make up for the lackluster beginning. 8/10 Also, I have a feeling the (inevitable) third season will be pure epicness. |
| 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... |
| That was a hell of a conclusion, especially that fierce spear-throwing shot of Kagami's. The last scene was a bit strange though, felt awkward to cut the episode off right there. I wonder who that guy with the braids is. That stare down with Midorima and Akashi was intense, I wonder if they're going to duke it out next. Overall a really intense season filled with awesome matches and adrenaline pumping moments. I didn't like how supernatural the plays got sometimes and how they started naming every move, but it didn't bother me too much. Although that's probably the main reason I enjoyed season 1 more, the plays felt closer to planet Earth and that's what motivated me to push my limits during my work outs. This season just didn't do the same. A solid 9/10, I'd love to give it a 10 but it didn't have the same life changing effect on me that season 1 did (lost 60 pounds when season 1 aired). Hoping a season 3 comes around. Knowing sports anime that do well, though, that's a good possibility as far as I can tell. |
 |
| Amazing anime! I couldn't ask anything more for this last match Bring on the third season!! |
| O importante não é o que fazemos de nós, mas o que nós fazemos daquilo que fazem de nós |
| Season 2: 10/10 Better animation and more epicness than season 1. I hope the people who rate this lower than season 1 remember that season 1 didn't just consist of that 2 episodes. Of course if they do, they are entitled to their opinion. Otherwise it is just myopic. They had to end the season there because introducing a new character at the last moment = worse cliffhanger than the Titan in the wall. An additional episode would be the perfect way to end the season but I guess they ran out of time/budget and had to cut the season short to 25 episodes. It could be they want season 3 to start off with a bang. The slow start to season 2 might have hurt it in terms of gaining new viewers. Meteor Jam has been done in real life. Just saying.

| Incredibly exciting game and a great episode. But ending the season in the middle of the tournament really sucks. |
 |
| When they saw the enemy pair not giving up against red's zone, him for offense with Kuroko! So sempai combi instead of using Red with zone when that guy with hurt is back. Did Purple got zone, too, that needs another guy to block it, too? A new skill that taught by his teacher? Then Kuroko blocking Purple's almost shoot. OP1 and ED2 were inserted songs. Kuroko telling him not giving up the relations. |

| Well that was a pretty fun season all in all. Every bit as good as S1, or actually perhaps a little better since the games were more intense. Honestly though I can't see this show going past 3-4 seasons and remaining all that enjoyable. The characters are already so beefed up and it will just end up being more of the exact same thing after that. Basically I'm saying that a sports manga/anime that starts out like this can't go on as long. My prediction is that Seirin will beat Yellow hair's team at the start of next season (because losing to someone they already beat would be lame), then lose to red hair, setting up red hair to be the final boss type of thing. And yes I'm just gonna identify them by hair color because its easier than remembering all the team names, heh... |

| I don't know why but that Kagami Meteor Jam reminds me of the Michael Jordan dunk at the end of Space Jam. Fun season as the first one was, |
| meteor jam!!! |
| Great ending. I like Akashi and Midorima staring each other like they're saying 'bring it on'.. 9/10 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 s3 . . . . . . |
 |
| Nice emotional resolution for Kagami and Himuro which started the season. Great episode to end off the season and a great season overall, fairly close to the first season imo. 8/10 |
| Woah, Murasakibara in the zone, but still couldn't score. Meteor Jam, the combined efforts of Kiyoshi and Kagami, and Kuroko's block :D Great game. Off to the semi-finals now. Season 3 please :D |
 |
| Was a great great season, great to see murasakibara losing, pretty much the biggest douche in the series so far, but I like the character, hopefully he'll grow a little. Great season, 9/10. |
| Great way to end it. Kagami being a freaking monster as usual and Kiyoshi stepping in at the end to help out. They did get quite lucky in the end however. |

| Don't really care about Himuro and Kagami bromance, the game where Teppei was getting beat up was stupid imo, and I didn't really like misdirection overflow. Besides, those things, everything else was good. Can't wait for the next season (c'mon there has to be one), Kise is probably my second favorite character after Aomine. 8/10. |

| Yay Seirin!! last 20 sec of the game was the most intense~ yay kagami & kiyoshi...but oh my titan atsushi in the zone but omg Kagami sugoi!!~ ＼(^▽^＠)ノ lol kuroko gets the last action poor atsushi, his crying face is so cute though >< Overall I liked the first season for the plot building. season 2 had more "battle time" (so less funny time), but season 2 had better art, loved the ost too. But still, amazing series! I look forward for a season 3!! (itll be haizaki time) I want more akashi screentime and i hope they animate the teiko arc xD |
( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ |
| Great season, great animations and great music I don't even... OTL I can't believe I won't be able to see KnB every saturday night now, it's become such a big highlight of the week ;-; BUT! Has anyone else noticed something about the endings that seem similar? In the end of season 1, they said "Wintercup is up next", while in season 2 they said the same thing, just with the semifinals. As for the clips, they had similar showcase with the ost in the background, while leaving off cliffhangers. In season 2 they had to do the staring contest while the bromance between Kagami and Himuro had a sudden change. I'm more of less SURE this will get a Third season. Lets pray for it together, friends! (/*^*)/ |
| haha. A new move. meteor jam :D Guess there's a season 3 now :D Can't wait for that. |
| Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel.- Tifa lockhart Which is it? A memory or us? -Tifa lockhart |
| this episode gave me like a million heart attacks but i'm so happy seirin won! :D also tsundere murasakibara is precious. can't wait for season 3!! |
| Tsundere Murasakibara lost. That was nice at all. :3 |
 |
| Well, I don't even know what to say anymore. Like how Teppei's return and Hyuga's block was amazing. Like how Teppei and KAgami stopping Murasakibara was epic. Like how Meteor Jam was so friggin cool (but come on, Alex, you're supposed to yell out the name of such an explosive move, like 'METEOR JAM!', not whisper it...). Like how Kuroko's block at the end was such an ironic way to end the game (and yes, it is possible for a 168cm guy to block a 208cm guy when he's not jumping). Overall, I liked Season 2 just as much as Season 1. Sure, there were some parts of S1 that were better than S2 and vice versa, but both were amazing. And now I'm just so hyped for Season 3... Sunday mornings will never be the same. I can't wait to see Kaijo's quarterfinal match against the braid-hair guy... Kise is so friggin cool! But Midorima and Akashi's stare-off got me even more hyped for their match. It's my favourite match so far, and I hope they don't animate it cheaply to save money for other matches. Yeah, the S2 ending didn't feel like much of an ending... because it isn't. It's only the beginning to something amazing- the finals of the Winter Cup. |

| Didn't expect Murasakibara to enter the Zone. That was quite scary. Also, Kagami's Meteor Jam was totally badass! :D Hohoo~ Tsundere Murasakibara shedding tears.. :o It was a very intense game between Seirin and Yosen. I like it a lot but as the final episode, it sure isn't enough so I'm hyped for a season 3 too, to continue where the Winter Cup has left off. 9/10 from me. Thanks for the shounen basketball entertainment! |
| Kise next season let's go!! And who was that guy with the dreads?? And I thought the ending was a little abrupt. They should have shown Tatsuya and Kagami making up. |
| Amazing episode for an amazing series. Can't believe it's finally over. The anime I looked forward to the most of the week. :( I so hope there will be a season 3, but that it doesn't take to long |
