this guy feels like filler.

And the filler he will be, until the finals. To tell you more will probably spoil it, so I won't :P He's actually pretty cool in his own way.

The new guy is scary. I don't really like how he treated Alex... I also prefer his old hair style.

The fan service of the ending song, damn, Baby Kuroko and Akashi playing piano was too much omg

I honestly like Haizaki, reminds me of a more violent Murasaki. Can't wait to see where this season goes!

Due to my super bad memory, I re-watched season 2 before starting this episode, but huh didn't need to since it was a recap.
Good episode overall. Kise has to win against this new annoying guy.

Lets me get this straight the new guy basically tried to rape Alex outside, but when that didn't work due to Tatsuya interfering, he decided he would just strangle her instead, and No one calls the cops because Ryouta says he will handle it on the court. Are you serious, fuck the game! Someone call the cops and take this asshole to jail!!

I miss this show for having a lot of cliffhangers, they're cliffhangers made me watch KnB while airing again, and now it's baaaaaaaaaack :D

The recap saved me, cuz I forgot almost everything.

Pretty good for a start. Eagle Eye/ Uruguay sticked in my mind
I hope I will get used to the OP/ED, it sounds great.

Not much of an improvement in the animation, but still amazing.

New opponent? based on what they said about him, it seems that he plays just like Makoto Hanamiya. His first action on a person he doesn't even know is not respectful, I hope Kise beats him down.

Looks like now we gonna see how Akashi play by looking at the OP. I've been looking forward for him to play since the previous season.

Oh Nice, next episode is a game already. Cliffhangers incomiiing!

Based good OST. Enjoyable as always, and the "recap" was legit I guess, it wasn't even that much long.

I'm looking forward to see Kise kicking that punky guy's ass.

I hope they won't re-use animations for this season. It happened twice as far as I recall. One was in the second Shotuko game, and the other was Murasakibara's Thor Hammer.

/vibrates intensely/ ok ok ok ok ok omg ok

Nagging Mother Kuroko has returned

oh my God Haizaki WHY DID THEY GIVE HIM SUCH A NICE VOICE HE'S A BASTARD


did they get a new animation crew or something? it looks different somehow...not bad different just different

Kuroko is one anime adaption i really appreciate because it's more or less faithful to the manga but they make enough changes to suit the format and make it worth watching in it's own right, and I think this episode is a good example of that

they callback to season 2 (it feels like ages ago) while still making the episode relevant to the new season by introducing all the Haizaki drama, and at the same time it's not a slow start at all, like guys this game is gonna be..........I'm just so excited it's embarrassing

P.S. "Eagle eye Uruguay" go to sleep Izuki

Yo what. The new guy is a major douchebag. He deserves to get his ass kicked for doing what he did to the lovely Alex.

This show sure is good at making people you love to hate.

On another note, really disappointed that Crunchyroll somehow didn't get the streaming rights to this season. They had the previous two seasons, so I have no idea how they lost out on it.

A somewhat slow start, I’m kind of disappointed since it was my most anticipated winter anime but I’m sure it’ll be awesome with the episodes to come. I didn’t think that Haizaki will have the same VA that voices Ichigo from Bleach, but I think it fits him quite nicely.

I thought that the first half was sort of pointless. It was a weird way to recap. I thought it was a waste of time.
I thought that the OP was okay. Just. Okay.
The ED however... Was adorable. Yes. Baby Kuroko is just ADORABLE. I wish they did the same for other characters, but for a shounen sport show, that would actually be very weird. So it's okay that they didn't.

I'm so hyped for this, but I'm probably going to wait for it to finish to continue watching it.
Art and animation seem to be even better than the second season, the OP isn't as good as S2OP1, but the ED is great. I love the animation in the middle of the episode that showcases a team and its players.

He was already shown playing a bit in the OVA where Aomine and Kuroko first met. So technically it won't be the first time. =)

great comeback for KnB imo. First hlf was basically a recap but the second half was really exciting. Can't wait to see Kise vs. Haizaki. He seems like a very powerful. I hope he doesn't pull any bullshit during the match.

haha I forgot how sassy Kuroko could get. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Haizaki... I wonder who'll win the next game. I'm betting on Haizaki. AHH!! But, Kise is so cool, and I don't want him to lose DD: The OP and ED are pretty cool. The intermission thingy in the middle is a little weird imo, but idk. Awww and baby Kuroko is too cute. I almost didn't watch this season because I had forgotten how much I love knb, but I'm glad I decided to in the end :)

That was the most cliche bad boy introduction ever. Seriously that was pathetic.
Also it was kind of stupid how the woman acted very aggressively against him before he even did anything.

I can't even bring myself to hate him. His too much of a caricature. He feels so fake there ias nothing to hate really.

I like this new intro and the OP's pretty good. ED's okay, for now.

Screw Haizaki for beating up Tatsuya and choking Alex. I thought Kagami would fight him, but Kise's there to save the day.
Lol, Kise's more interested in Alex rather than the situation.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Ohhh, hyping so much. It was worth waiting this long to start, I don't think I'm gonna be able to stop until I catch up. This twist with the original Teiko starter has heated it up and certainly threw some sparks into the mix. This season looks like it's going to be full of so many win plays with all of these intense match ups.

I have to say, I'm really disappointed that Crunchyroll is not airing Kuroko no Basket anymore! T^T It was this anime that made me buy the membership *crys*
But I'm sooo glad Kuroko no Basket is back~!! It's always nice to see an anime that will follow the manga to the end, especially sports xD Love the new opening and ending! Everyone is finally shown, especially lots of Akashi! <3
Can't wait for the match against Kise and Haizaki!


Crunchyroll still shows KNB... http://www.crunchyroll.com/kurokos-basketball ???

Totally agree XD

Very nice first episode. We get to know yet another bitchy player..., they just keep coming and coming.
Was hoping for Kagami to talk to his bud though... guess that will have to wait.
Opening and ending were a bit meh. So far nothing can beat the first opening from season 2. That one was just too epic.
So, Midorima is playing against Rakuzan on the semi-finals uh? I would love Midorima to win, but I guess that's not possible right? Bitchy Akashi will have to win so Seirin can kick his ass afterwards. Just guessing though..., hope I'm wrong XD

what the hell is wrong with that Fukoda school man. Aceepting that bastard Haizaki like that. There's no way they didn't know that he's violent as fuck. Sure he might be a powerful player and he increases their chance to win but the chance of them getting disqualified because of him is much greater haha. Anyway I'm pretty sure he's gonna lose to Kise and then he's gonna wreck things up
