| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The match felt a little slow but I think it works out well. I'm still amazed at how tall Murasakibara's team is against Seirin. I mean, just wow. I really liked the way Kuroko pulled off that teamwork stunt though with the others to score some points. I think if they're to win this match, they would have to do a lot of that. The little rivalry between the coaches made me chuckle a bit. |
 |
| While everyone cannot get past that tall guy, Kuroko showed what he's useful for, disappearing shooting. Nice! Red guy also found a way to overcome another tall guy's block with the guy with injury's advice. For next round, childhood friend battle begins. Airing 10 mins late?, 2:13, next ep. |

| Needs more Kuroko and dat shooting. |

| So happy that they scored their first points against them. Now Kuroko is able to at least shoot, which should make it easier for Seiren to get more baskets. |
 |
| Animation seemed a little off. Damn, I wish they'd hurry up and stop dragging this out. It feels so slow right now. We finally see Kuroko's Phantom Shot. |
 |
| "Nobody can stop me!" Hilarious English in the preview for next ep. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Good episode :D Kiyoshi's Vice claw is awesome ^^ Nice to see Aomine's reaction to Murasakibara shutting Seiren out. Even he was a bit surprised. Loved how Kuroko was the first to score against the invincible Yosen XD Thnx to Aomine, now Kuroko can join in on the fun :D Lol'd at Kuroko asking how do u shoot and Aomine just throwing the ball like nothing XD U gotta love their reactions esp Murasakibara's when he's scored on XD Mitobe's sign talking and their reactions to Koge TL'ing XD Kiyoshi's advice to Kagami was lol but useful XD Well nxt up Kiyoshi vs Murasakibara and Taiga vs Himuro. Should be nice. I don't remember liking Himuro's part in the manga though, hope it's done with quickly -.- Riko calling Yosen's coach Grandma inside her minds and she heard it XD |
 |
| OMG! Shingeki no Kyojin! Murasakibara's team are so huge! I just can't... |
| You know what they say about guys who have big hands.... Anyway, epic Kuroko is epic. And Mitobe. |

| Kuroko scored a basket! This game has been going by really fast. |
| "First I need to lower my hips, and then..." "He's big. You should be careful." Hilarious. |
| Since they're going up against a pure defensive team, it's not surprising that the episode wasn't really explosive. Still, it's only the first half, so I'm sure shit is going to get real soon enough :D |

|
| sweet episode. man i waited soo long for that double fistbump xD |

 |
| Vice claw and Phantom shot Eat that Yosen. I really love when GoM player like Murasakibara get angry at Kuroko. Nice engrish in the preview. |
| Definition of epic. |
 |
| LOL. "Granny" and then she actually looked back. That 'Vice Claw' is so sick. can't wait to see next ep. |
| Nice to see Kuroko's new skill. What a shame he can't stay in the entire game. Now Teppei vs Murasakibara and Kagami vs his childhood friend. That guy have a special shot so i can't w8 to see how it's gonna turn out. |
| Kuroko's Phantom Shot *-* Double fistbump, yes! |
| Hyuga Junpei: “Yeah… I’m confident… Because my teammates will help me out! I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!” Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.” |
| Nice, loving the fast paced comeback Seirin had after they started utilizing Kuroko. Lol at when Kuroko asked Aomine how he shoots, Aomine shoots effortlessly. I love how Aomine figured out the difference between Kuroko and regular players, how his passes are like pushing so trying to shoot that way might be better for Kuroko. Tatsuya's English at the end was hilarious. Nobody can stop me! Looking forward to it :) |
| how did seirin manage to score 17 points o.o |
| Cant wait to see the explanation behind kuroko's shot and kagami vs tatsuya They wrapped up 2 quarters in 2 episodes, you guys think that this match will be over in another 2 episodes? Xipe1912 said: That guy have a special shot so i can't w8 to see how it's gonna turn out. I'm pretty sure its going to be that same thing he showed Kagami in like the second episode. Where his shot went through kagamis block I really hope im wrong tho cuz then that would be a replica of kuroko's shot. I'd like to see some variety |
| Kuroko shootes are amazing! LOL at this english in preview xD |
| Kuroko! I remember how awesome it was when he scored his first bucket in the manga! :D And it's still awesome in the anime! Kiyoshi is awesome with his advice. Likewise with Aomine and his demonstration on how to shoot. xD Also, I had a good laugh at Riko calling Yosen's coach a "granny" in her mind and the coach looked back at her like she heard it. XD Next up his Himuro and his Mirage shot. His Engrish was hilarious: "Nobody can stop me!" |
 |
| that preview my god the engrish is going to kill me KUROKO SHOOTING IS REALLY AWESOME THO |
| |ω・) |
| NOBODY CAN STOP ME~ sounded ridiculous. Awesome episode tho, i hope this match will last like 3 episodes more :D |
 |
| Animation seemed off in the beginning, but awesome episode! Didn't seem too slow to me at all. I mean, they're already in the 3rd quarter! |
| Watch out for that Yosen's no.12 Himuro next time yooooo. That Mitobe moment was hilarious. |
 |
| Wow. They sped this match, they removed some idle stuff here. Love Kuroko's Phantom Shot! This time, Kagami is beating Himuro instead of Murasakibara. Oh well, we might get to see Kagami scoring Murasakibara but Himuro for now. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Phantom shot! |
| I totally fanboyed at Kuroko's Phantom Shot! Their faces were like: :o Also, Kiyoshi has acquired a new skill, Vice claw :3 Also nice! I'm curious what the Mirage Shot will be like. I hope it's not a copy of the Phantom Shot xD |
Vexper said: "Nobody can stop me!" Hilarious English in the preview for next ep. Lol accent for a native speaker :p |
| Dammit , so intense !! |
 |
| Vice Claw and the Phantom Shot. LOL'd at Aomine's demonstration of how to do a shot. Murasakibara getting angry at Kuroko for being able to get past his defenses. And also dat double fistbump. pretty awesome. LOL dat engrish in the preview. In comes the Mirage Shot next episode! |
 |
| As a manga reader, let me just say that the second half is 10 times more epic than the first. The first half was to merely establish a few things: 1) How Seirin broke the Shield of Aegis through Kuroko (with a shot that even Murasakibara can't block -- don't worry, there's a perfectly good explanation for this but it won't be explained this season) and he can open up their defense further with pump fakes. 2) How Seirin won the rebound battle with 3 titans guarding the post -- Vice Claw. 3) How Seirin stopped Yosen's low post scoring -- Kagami's physical play, power jump and block. 4) Now that Yosen can't score through their captain's post play, enter Himuro who wasn't needed until now. All this to get Seirin into a position where they can evenly match Yosen (both in offense and defense), unleash Himuro and begin the epicness that is the second half. Think about it, now that Himuro has joined the attack, what other weapons do Yosen have? |
| Awesome episode... Some epic stuff ahead. P.S: I love the endcard with Seirin painting that wall. Each episode a member of the GoM and its partner joins the team lol. |
| Riko found her long lost mother. LOL Regarding the fight so far on court, its a bit underwhelming compared to the previous episodes. Glad the focus isn't on Taiga/Tetsuya, hope Teppei gets some points off Murasakibara for back in the day! :D |

Lol'd at Aomine's explanation, Mitobe's analysis and Kiyoshi's advice. And Himuro, 'Nobody can stop me'... are you sure about that? Huehue Can't wait for Kiyoshi vs Murasakibara next ep! |
| "There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!" "Aah? Of course I won't miss!" "My blood tastes like Iron." "Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!" |
| Goosebumps and EPIC !!!!! OMG Himuro;s English XD |
| Great episode. Also, love the comedy as usual. nobody can sop me |
| @NoongaJuice The rest of the match is going to be high octane all the way. I wonder how the animation quality is going to keep up. I hope for episode 18 budget for the rest of the season but I know that's not going to happen. Please let episode 23 match episode 18 in terms of animation quality! It deserves it. And yes, time for Kiyoshi to shine next episode. Edit: Anyone else think they should have just used the phantom shot animation from the opening? I wouldn't mind at all. |

| great ep.. Like the teamplay.. Looking forward for Mu-chan and Kiyoshi this 2nd half.. |
 |
| Can't wait to see more kuroko and his new technique next episode. |
 |
| This was probably my favorite episode of the season so far, because Kuroko got the chance to be a big BA on the basketball court. He was passing AND shooting! Loved every minute of him doing his thing. Still, I don't think they will beat Yosen, but I know they'll give it their all anyway. There's no way Seiren can beat a team full of Goliaths that also have amazing speed and reflexes. It would never happen IRL. So, if it happens here, it'll definitely be an ass-pull by the author.

| Great episode as always. Happy to see Kuroko shoot. I knew he could since his passes are so precise |
