ClaudiusClotaire said: Hell yeah. I dont have one bad word to say about this first episode. Awesome VA.Great soundtrack. Fluid animatoin. And like you said. It actually follows the manga to the dot.THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I'm going to go ahead and say that this adaptation was absolutely amazing and it's only on the first episode. The soundtrack was pure awesomeness, no complaints about the animation in fact I praise it, great opening and ending and above all else it was faithful to the manga throughout the entire episode. 5/5. |
| Looks like it's going to be a great series, seeing as how I really enjoy sports anime/manga in general, I also just started reading this manga. I laughed so hard when Riko made everyone strip for her in this episode...lol. |

| O_o No fanservice? well, at least no fanservice for guys ^^ (if topless bishounen count as fanservice of girls! ^o^) +1 No mini-skirt big boobs coach !! +1 No moe girls players! +1 No stupids girls for fanservice only around (well, at least in ep1) +1 No junior high players looking as adults (ie Prince of Tennis, even if I liked the anime it's still disturbing to think there are less than 14!!) but players looking around their age +1 Comedy +1 Probably (hope?) no stupid drama (ie Area no Kishi) +1 Restaurant chat +1 Bishounen ^_^ +1 Probably a lot of good doujins +1 ... 10/10? maybe just because I fell refresh after the horrible moe/ecchi fanservice I saw before! This season is really not as bad as I thought! (even if there is no shounen-ai series, again -_-) Uchuu Kyoudai, Kuroko no Basket, Sakamichi no Apollon (still waiting for it, but josei = big hope!), Shirokuma Cafe (funny for now), Kimi to Boku 2 (fell even better than the first season), Furusato Saisei (cute and can help me of my lessons) |

| For some reason it didn't show that there was already a topic for this...and there doesn't seem to be a poll here? Anyway, I don't have much to say because it was quite like the manga. I did like all of the voices! And this: |

| I really liked this first episode and it felt pretty fast for me. I haven't watched many sports animes - this being my second. My first was Area no Kishi which I like. But I'm a bigger fan of basketball than soccer. Watching this makes me want to read the manga now. Does anyone know where to buy it or if it can be found online? I hope there's a translation for it. |
 |
| Watched the first episode and I already want more. |
Panaru said: Kurini said: I love every bit of Kuroko (because I like Ono Kensho)! I think this would be a good sport anime, let's see if it would beats Oofuri and Giant Killing! <3 If you're looking for realism in your sports anime, then I can already tell you that you'll be disappointed. Oh... ... but that's fine! I don't think I mind now that I'm aware of it! :D |
| OH MY GOD I've been waiting so long for this anime and SO glad I decided to watch it! The music, the OST, the art, EVERYTHING is amazing. It gets you SO pumped. Very nice first episode! |
 |
| It's honestly ridiculous how much I enjoyed that. |
 |
| As a basketball player, i really liked this. great portrayal of an essential passer on the team. |

| ^_^'' Given I'm NOT a sports anime fan whatsoever... This should prove to be an interesting and completely unbiased watch. So far, after watching for about... five minutes, I like the opening theme, and I like the voices for the characters. -0.0 Taiga is... VERY tall. Reminds me of my boyfriend. T.T Scary. But so awesome looking! And his voice is awesome! -I LOVE RIKO SO MUCH ALREADY! "Now, you guys... D< TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRTS!" XD I can see myself in her! -Kuroko... <3 Can I take him home with me? He won't be invisible! He's not like every other shonen guy I'VE seen. |
| "Aiming for the mark takes precision, balance, and patience." ....Screw that, let's shoot the damn thing! |
| Awesome OP and ED, excellent animation/adaptation, I'm quite a fan of the manga so seeing Kuroko's misdirection animated was something I've been waiting for years *w* seiyuus are just perfect, lovin' 'em voices. Only thing I didn't like was... do they intend to keep the same ED for that long?? Or do they really intend to rush the series that much?? He first appeared in ch 74 ._. |
| What a wonderful first episode! I'm considering reading this after the anime finishes up, though I hope it won't be only 12 or 13 episodes as stated...? |
| Oh my god. I loved every single thing about this. Yes, yes, yes. |
| This series gets off to a really good start :) |
tamachana said: To be honest, i hesitated a little in starting this sow. I mean, how can Basketball be interesting at all? im more into the fantasy stuff. Don't knock it cause you might not like it...basketball is very entertaining for some people. |
| This is the first sport anime I've ever watched and I am impressed :) I don't care for basketball but I think this could make me change my mind :p Kuroko is so interesting >~< I love the coaches ability! And cute moment when Kuroko missed and American boy saved the day. I sense a long series coming along??? |
 |
| cool episode Kuroko is so interesting character |
| I want to say I'm also happy that there is no stupid fan-service in this anime : ) alot of anime these days rely on a cheap things to gain popularity .. sadly but this show really impressed me ! it reminds me of slam dunk which I consider "legendary" and one of the best of all time .. which is great ! |
| Oh ! Yes ! I LOVE Basketball !! ♥ ~ Kuroko is so cool character ♥  |

Doesn't make sense since they can easily make 25 ep's out of what's available probably even more. |

| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |

| Really enjoyed the first ep. Need to find the song that plays at around 18:50.. anyone know? (Probably have to wait for the OST to come out..) |
| Interesting first episode, nothing more. It was extremely cliché, shonen-ish (in a bad way) and unrealistic sports-wise though. Won't watch the second ep. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I love this! The first episode's really good, and the series itself seems very promising. Hooray for normal-ish anime! Except for that coach's numbers yeap. |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| Disappointing really because they went a little cliche and that disappearing thing is full of shit basically. Stupid trick in an attempts to impress those who get impressed easily. Let's hope that the games will have more than that. |
| Pleasantly surprised. I like basketball and I didn't have any expectations from this, now i'm looking forward for the rest. |
| Adaptation success? Adaptation success. |
| Hype so far .. That's some Dwight Howard shit ryt there! ;) |
 |
| Of course this should be good, the manga is so far ahead and can keep going on, it's shounen jump we talking about. I got a feeling of it's going to be far away until Kuroko really become useful. The music is catching thought :) |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Awesome passes are awesome; Kuroko is a interesting character and i know he will eventually develop his game, maybe after he finds someone who can predict his passes or something; but for now its still pretty good :D |
 |
| Basketball with bishies? Hell yeah! Great first episode looking forward to more. 5/5 |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| This is honestly my first sports anime and I was pleasantly surprised. Great first ep. What makes it even better is Senjougahara voices the coach omg. 5/5 |

Serduszko said: To be honest, after seeing it I gonna puke. I wanted sth DAMN GOOD as Slam dunk or Buzzer Beater eventually BUT NOT; firstly anime about loli girls playing basketball, now this emo crap with awesome impossible things for dum kids EH. No wonder that some ppl say that it is Ok or even better. Without seeing those 2 above the judgement is simple. But yeah wake up. Are you filled with some random ice cream or with ice cream you love? Not gonna like...you made NO EFFING SENSE. Seriously bro, just say what you think, 1/10. I disagree and so does the majority of people but when you say so much and not make much sense, you're putting yourself out there to be trolled. |
 |
| After watching it I immediately read all of the scanlated manga in 2 days... that's how hyped I am, y'all should read the manga along with the anime. There is also a few funny "bloopers" in the manga also. Either way this anime and manga somehow gives off this SWAG feeling to me. |
| AWESOME!!!! XDD this is the first time I liked first episode of anime moreover it's the first sport anime I really like.. hope the continuation still awesome, xD so full of bishies!! and Kuroko is kawaiii >,< P.S. I smell BL btw.. xixixixixi :p *no offense* |
| “You can easily pick anyone to flirt with just for fun or boost your ego, but at the end of the day, don’t you need someone to come home to?” |
| Kuroko almost reminds me of Steve Nash... except he can't shoot... or dribble... or make a layup xD This episode was awesome though, can't wait to see how this story develops! |
| I've been interested in picking up a good sport anime for a while and this came at the right time. Basketball is always an exciting sport to see animated and it doesnt look this will disappoint. Gonna stick this one out with a smile I think. =) |
 |
| Eps.1 is totally cool. Kuroko is shadow, so the stronger the light, Taiga, the shadow become blacker .. |
| I've gotta say, freaking. amazing. I was trembling with excitement the whole game, I kept wondering... Holy balls what's this guy's awesome skill... and then. OMG HE'S A DAMN NINJA Freakin' amazing. |
| Randomly looking for high compatibility with other people. Click and see if you have high compatibility and leave a comment in my profile. It'll make my day. :)  |
| I have better feeling about this sport anime than Area no Kishi - which turned out to be godawful later. Too bad logos for these anime more often then not present it like some bishounen series with sport as excuse to take shower together. Just dont draw bunch of guys in one rectangle of space. |
