| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The team is in a bad position and that's WITHOUT Aomine playing. Kagami is injured and Aomine has arrived so it's not looking too good for them... |
Orientalfairy said: On a side note: is it just me or is the quality detoriarating with each episode? Yeah, this episode looked more like an interlude. We can expect better animation in the next episode, i guess. But the last episode was very well animated imo. It looks like they're gonna lose big. O_o This episode lacked not only animation but also the general charm of the series. it did not even make me chuckle which it usually does, actually. Especially, Kise and Midorima were utterly useless. I wanted my weekly Tetsu #2 dosage! |
   |
| How Kuroko was insisting that he got the ball was hilarious. What Kuroko said is totally truth...Momoi is only cute when not on the field at your opponent. Aomine is here...I really feel that Seiren are totally screwed Oh and that fanart at the end was so beautiful Momoi is really cute |
 |
| Aoimine has come! The real battle begins |
 |
| This episode was kind of boring. I'm pretty sure they're screwed; they can't make miracles against Aomine no matter how shounen this show is. And they wasted a lot of time with the exchange between the coach and Kagami, which I didn't even understand. The screenshot with Momoi and Aomine is cute. |
| Man that apologize bastard is annoying.Kagami is injured and Aomine arrived.Seirin is doomed. |
 |
| Found it on tumblr, lol'ed hard! |
|
| Great episode this week. Tetsu #2 Where are you? |
 |
| They just don't have any chances.10 point gap without Aomine and Kagami is injured.The hell. |
 |
| I got chills when the music for Aomine played when he was debating on joining in the game before the 2nd half. |
| Getting used to the intro and outro theme now which is good but at some points was it just me or when they were running and talking did it seem that the conversation lasted forever and if it were real life they would of ran out of space to run in?:P Its funny, i never thought about this when i read the manga |
 |
| WAAAAH how are they gonna win?!? Let a miracle happen could this be a good option: sub all the first years in ? >.< that sorry guy is actually also good, just thought that it's hard to play like that with his personality MidorimaxKise was funny, could it be they are kind of friends in middle school, I hope so I wanted to see more Kuroko shots, well I was already sad when they got the second years with the data from Momoi and Momochi sounds a bit weird but I was shocked after Aomine suddenly popped out behind Kagami's back after the long talk with their coach, funny when she says ''bakka Kagami'' |

| Kuroko understands Momoi's strategies to a fairly good extent. You can see this in the little eye exchange they shared at one point. Kagami's leg is still injured from the Shutoku game and now Aomine has arrived and he is well rested and confident. Good luck next week Seirin! Another high quality episode in my opinion. 5/5 |
| Whoa, Aomine showed up. Seirin is in even more trouble now. Also, the Gin Ichimaru lookalike on the other team pisses me off for some reason. |
| Dammit, I was hoping to see Aomine in action this ep. Oh, well, next week.... |

| ugh dammittttt i wanted to see Ahomine's playing -A- Icebreaker93 said: Man that apologize bastard is annoying. fucking annoying _ _+ |
| Seirin is so totally screwed! I have a big feeling were gonna get crushed next ep~ Oh well :( Shounen sport animes always have a defeat episode xD |
| Geez 10 point lead and aomine finally shows up their pretty much screwed if they don't pull of something crazy. nice to see Riko get a bit of character development |
 |
| Holy crap Momoi knows everything. I mean I thought she was just a cute manager and all but holy crap, she's an intelligence agent. Although it's awesome how she can't gather any data of Kuroko. Coach Riko noticed Kagami's legs haven't fully healed. That scene with her apologizing to him was really nice. Riko ftw. Aomine appearing right when Kagami's getting back in the game. I seriously can't see Seirin winning this match. Can't wait for next week. :) |
 |
| I don't know why, buy Aomine kinda freaks me out. >.< FAITO SEIRIN!!! |
  |
| Oh my gosh I seriously have A VERY BAD FEELING that seirin will lose in this battle :'( I didn't read the manga , so I hope they got at least TIES ...however with them keep portraying AOMINE DAIKI like holy gawd of cookies I can't barely imagine they win .___. Fight hard , seirin! |

I really wonder if they are, Seirin has won every match thus far and I'm worried it's going to become one of these shounen where the protagonist/protagonist's group never loses. Kise being defeated was all right, but after Midorima being defeated as well this anime is starting to become a little predictable. I hope I'm wrong... Also, it's starting to bother me that the defeated characters are doing nothing but watch the games. I like Kise but he hasn't done anything useful since episode 4, I'm really hoping for a change of pacing here... Ah, Momoi is very cute. *__* Hope to see much more of her. |

| Like everyone else is saying, the possibility of Seirin winning seems low, especially now that Aomine showed up. I just hope for some kind of miracle, but at least Aomine will see that Seirin does not give up easily and will fight till the end. None of them are the type to give up, no matter how impossible. I actually liked this episode, so I have no idea what people are saying, but I loved it. Time still went fast, and I want to see the next episode already. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| Honestly, this episode made me a little bored but when the episode came to it's climax it entertained me a bit... |
  |
| Man... I don't know why, but I don't like Momoi... =/ Can't wat for next episode! I sooo want to see Aomine playing *-* |
 |
| I can feel that they won't win this time... unless Kuroko pulls another phantom technique. I was really surprised when Aomine just appeared like that! |

| Build-up episode. Aomine appearing was the best part. Can't wait for next week. |
Orientalfairy said: On a side note: is it just me or is the quality detoriarating with each episode? Such a let down, it's my favorite anime for the season. Agree and it also felt rushed for some reason to me =_= Anyway, Seirin doesn't have many chances to win this game after Aomine appeared and Kagami is still injured. I don't mind if they lose because is something that happens in the games once in a while and after your defeat you can train and become better(well that's what I think). Momoi is a data collector as it seems and can analyze moves.Pretty awesome skill but she can't analyze Kuroko. |

| Oh fawk things aren't looking too bright for Seirin, but I totally loved the conversation between Midorima and Kise. Actually, I just love Midorima in general - he's hilarious, even when he doesn't know it. |
| God, such a blood sugar level riser this anime is! And the back ground music, it's illegal. It's freaking amazing! Next episode is gonna be lemon! 5/5 |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Best part of the episode. |

| I noticed the drawings seemed a bit off but other than that, another episode of knb! Although it has been expected that they won't be able to lead, and aomine won't play in this episode. Damn. Injured Kagami and Aomine in the game. Seirin needs a miracle. TETSU #2 BARK FOR LUCK. cliffhangers, cliffhangers, sunday come faster please. |
| Cute ending card of Momoi and Aomine :D Not much to say about the episode, the story hasn't made much progress other than revealing Momoi's true ability. At this pace the anime wouldn't even reach winter cup :(. |

| For once, I really wish they lose to get a change of pace. Not to mention Aomine is great character. Looking forward to more. |
| Is it just me or the animation quality dropped in this episode?Anyways,It was still a pretty awesome episode. |
 |
| Kuroko no Basuke keeps me so exicted whole time.Finally Aomine's shown up ; D. Let's hope for the best match between these two (Aomine vs Kuroko+Tagami). |

| I didn't expect him to show up until seirin catch up, but it makes it the more interesting. More of a true challenge and less excuse for not using their ace player |
 |
| Seiren will lose so bad... |
 |
| hmmm...decent episode, but lost its epicness compared to the previous one, it seems like they do not have enough budget to make high quality episodes throughout the series but i'm hoping that they at least put more effort into making the important episodes. The last episode of seirin vs shuutoku was really well made, despite the second last episode of that arc suffered a lost of quality. I hope they will keep the quality up :) |
on 
| Well forgivances have to be given when animating a sports anime as constant and smooth movement isn't obviously the easiest thing to animate, though if you look at the still frames, they still look pretty damn good. And about Seirin, well I'm kind of expecting them to lose, because here comes one of my pet peeves with shounen anime, the power levels are always out of whack from one fight to the next. Aomine has been shown to be BOSS and if Touou loses... I am going to be shaking my head. Also this anime suffers from the explaining every single concept or technique while the match is going on. I know it's kind of needed for non-basketball fans to understand, but it's still kind of cringeworthy. |
 Tonight... we are young... so let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter, than the sun... |
| Ugh. I don't think my heart can take the next episode. Frankly, I actually thought this episode was okay. They can't have all supermegaawesomeincredible episodes. The feels would make me explode. This episode is build up for the next… and the next will most likely be REALLY good, depending on where they decide to end it. Seeing Aomine in action is going to be reaaaaaally cool. I've been waiting all season for it :3. But yeah, next episode feels are going to kill me. And lol Sakurai being an apologetic mushroom, that made me crack up. One of the best lines of the series! xD |
| I liked the episode, though it did seem to lack something the others didn't. The apologetic mushroom was annoying but Hyuga's reaction to him was rather Amusing, wouldn't surprise me if they lost this one & had to rematch them at a late date considering they are losing & Aomine has only just turned up. |
| IT'S THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM. Seems like the quality dropped, and I think some scenes were reused, but this happens in every anime, right? They have their budget, and they use more for the important episodes. SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH KUROKO'S HAIR, THOUGH. It irks me. Gah. Momoi's an information specialist. Pretty awesome how she can't predict Kuroko, though. So Aomine's here and Kagami's injured. I think they're screwed. Yes, they probably are. ; w ; A change of pace would be nice, though. But I still want them to win. ALSO, WHERE'S TETSUYA # 2? :(( |
