| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- At least the difference score between the two teams aren't far now. But yeah, given the circumstances, players do have their physical limits they need to be wary of. One of the most important element in this show is to keep the determination high no matter what happens so that played an important role. |
 |
| Really loved the transition from the ending clip and outro, really smooth and played on the emotions nicely. |
| Still don't like how they drag every match in the series, I know there are a lot of emotions in between and all that shit but, really? Couldn't they finished the llast three minutes of the match in this episode? Also, I'm starting to dislike Sora's mother for not being honest to herself, I know she has a serious disease but for me that doesn't make one thing for another. Or maybe I'm wrong. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| I really love how this episode showed that everyone on the court and outside of it had different "things to protect", aligning with the episode title so well. Scenes involving Sora's mother make me so emotional... |
 |
| The match is still not over, are they planning to go until ep 50 with it ? The mom has a goal in her life, ok |
 |
| So I never thought that they were gonna lose their first game but looks like they'll actually lose this game. Also just end this damn game already, I hope the one minute left doesn't end up taking 10 mins of next episode. |
 |
| This series may have its pacing issues (which are a lot, being honest) but I can't deny the good job it does at building up hype. This match's last minutes are being such an exciting ride. While not spectacular in the slightest, this episode was still probably one of the best ones this series has had. Particularly, knowing that miss Kurumatani might consider the idea of being coach at Kuzu was a heartfelt sign of hope. |
| Oh boy I am ready to cry so hard next week Afarran said: Any manga reader can say how they will manage to end it in 20eps if each match will be 7 eps?? Or it will be a non satisying end. I think sora's mother will be the coach. And the ending song was dope As a reader, this match took particularly long because it's their first official match. So for future reference, if they make a final, it'll take long as well. |
 |
| This anime is so slow paced it makes One Piece look good... come on man. |
| Damn, that match is still not over and at this stage I really don't know who's going to win. My bet's on Kuzuhigh considering that if they lose, it would become a real 32 episodes show following a team which still didn't win anything : I refuse to believe that's going to happen. I was a bit annoyed this episode by the addition of "flashbacks" about characters from the other school, they basically replaced some real basketball scenes. |
 |
| oml I thought they were gonna at least end it this ep but somehow managed to stretch a whole minute remaining into like 10 mins lmao. Oh well, I do agree that the ending segment into the outro transition was damn nice. at least one thing I can give props to this series is that it does pretty well in developing the rival teams. ofc other shows like Haikyuu can do it in a lot less time, but it's nice to see that both side are getting similar amounts of spotlights, and no side is solely being portrayed as the "good guys" but man is the animation really bringing this show down. It's literally just powerpoint slides at this point lol |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Damn, I really prefer for Kuzu to lose this game and have a sweet comeback story like in Haikyuu!!. I just feel that Shinjo would realistically win here and deserve to win considering all their amazing efforts and relentless perseverance despite being behind, but I feel that Kuzu is going to win anyways because of the power of teamwork, friendship, etc. etc. Especially since it seems they're trying to get Mokichi to play against his crush's boyfriend's school. 🙃 |

| That Slam Dunk manga though. He got inspired by Sakuragi since he's a thug as well. XD |

That's my bad then since it slipped my mind! 😅 |
I already got spoiled about that back when it first aired, so it doesn't hurt me, but I just despise spoilers. Ruined Jojo for me, though most of those came from my own stupidity. |

Ruined Jojo for me, though most of those came from my one stupidity. Aww, damn, I feel you. I edited my original post to remove the spoiler but it's still in our quoted comments, but I tried. 😂 I don't usually post on Reddit/MAL to talk about episodes since I barely keep up with current anime, so that's my fault for being a noob and not being careful about spoilers either. That's totally fair to not expect to come across other anime's spoilers in a discussion thread about another anime. 😂 |
| ohh I feel so bad for Sora :( wish he could score more 3 point in front his mother. His 3 point at ep. 30 was so cool, want more of it in the future |
footmaster said: That Slam Dunk manga though. He got inspired by Sakuragi since he's a thug as well. XD Yeah! This reference was great!!   I am enjoying the show and this match. It is not boring even if sometimes the rythm is a little slow... (what can i say.. i like slice of life) Idk why Sora's mom didn't wait ONE minute until the end of the match... but it's okay.. (yeah, she said why... but come on.. to not know who won, she would need to leave the gym too quick..) Next episode will be the last... |
 |
| damn cliffhanger less than one minute left! shame sora's mom left the game because she wants to hear the result directly from his son! 5/5. |
 |
| Boy that Slam Dunk "reference" tho. One of the best episodes in the recent weeks. Can't wait what will happen in the last minute! |

I think I stopped at around 20 episodes... That and Ahiru no Sora will probably finally get me off my butt to go play basketball again. 🙃 |

Interesting internal fight of then It's cool to see even the second squad teams dreams and seeks. Nice Slam Dunk reference  |

| Solid episode! Condolences to Sora-kun, falling just short 3 minutes to the conclusion of the game. It's tough to be a short player in the Basketball world but Mokichi-kun sharing a new insight was very interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing what this'll bring forth in him. Kite and Chiaki-kun returning back might just happen to be the ideal solution to this ensuing climax, in my opinion. I don't mean to belittle Sora's efforts thus far but with the points nearly stacked up as it is now, defense has got to be rock solid. Nabe-san and Saki-san along with the club advisor cheer-leading in the hype of the moment was a very nice sight too. Damn, some of the soundtrack usage in these past couple of episode have been simply fantastic! Like that scene of Kite scoring the three-pointer to interrupt Chiaki-kun's monologue for instance, great stuff! On the other hand, some more light into Sora's mother. Good job Madoka-sempai! It's a wonderful dream if you ask me but it's going to require some fighting, that's for sure. Can't wait to see this prevail and I bloody hope it will in the first place. With under 20 episodes, I wonder what's next in store for us. Pacing has been an issue thus far so here's to hoping the next episode will seal the deal for this match-up for starters. |

| I thought I'd never see the day that a basketball anime actually included a Slam Dunk manga reference. Very nice. |

| Slam Dunk fans = men of culture Remember visiting the "basketball club" as well when Kuroko still aired xD It would be nice if Sora's mom could live a bit longer, but I guess her dream was seeing Sora on the court:( And what do people even mean with slow paced? Sure, the match is covering a couple of episodes, but there is so much exciting stuff going on that I'm just buffled about the mindset of some people. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Damn nice slam dunk reference at 4:28 I really like the idea Madoka brought up about Sora's mom becoming a coach when she recovers and teach the teams. |
