| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty intense episode. Tons of gameplay on the field with various teamwork, rebounds, etc. This episode really picked up the action and we're getting to see the skills of the individual players. Exciting stuff if you ask me. |
 |
| Chiaki finally entered the game, he does have the skills of a great basketball player but for some reasons we see why he preferred to not get involved in the game, thanks Madoka pushing him to get in. Btw, the guy of the can is a complete asshole. |
| 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!  |
| Ahiru no Sora, where have you been my whole life! I wish somebody picked up the manga Chiaki is a genius after all and it's amazing how another good player can make Sora so effective. Also, this might be wishful thinking, but I really hope to see some serious romance between Madoka and Sora. |
 |
| Man this episode went by so fast. Chiaki finally joined the game and he is real genius to boot. The last part of the game was really intense and loved it. Also I'm really liking Madoka more and more with each episode. |
 |
| Good thing Chiaki joined the team and he is a great player with his skills. The ending tho, he stole Chiba's shoes lol. |
 |
| What a great entrance :D That was great to watch :D |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Epic episode honestly, Chiaki's entrance did not disappoint on any point : the way he took the other school's punks off and then his moves ! As usual all the moves used during the match were technically epic, with a slow motion and sound effects that made everything look so epic A team is born ! |
 |
| About time Chiaki decided to play because he the most skillful person on the team besides Sora. Chiaki skills on the court kinda reminds me of Kobe Bryant and moves very quickly for a big guy. |
 |
| Great episode, watching the game made me smile. Chiaki is awesome, I loved his entrance where he just threw the desk at those punks and proceeded to rally up everyone only to realize he violated the 8 second rule. XD Seeing Chiaki take control of the game and help the team score those baskets was great. I did feel that we could've used some more fluid animation and some more dynamic 'hype' if you understand what I mean, not that Diomedea are doing a bad job, the matches are still great but I kind wish Production I.G were making this as it definitely feels like they're kinda show. Loved the post match conversation between Sora and the opposing team's captain. Can't wait to see more. |
 |
| Wow, this is getting better and better, imo. I'm loving it a lot. Can't wait for the next ep! |
  |
| Yay, glad to see Chiaki join in! |
| Well whaddaya know. Chiaki turns out to be a genius at Basketball. |
| Great Episode.... |
 |
| That punk bitch Chiaki took long enough to enter the court, we have to thank hype-girl Madoka for the rude awakening. Kuzu played well despite everything, Chiaki really changed the game even though they didn't win. But I still think Sora was overwhelmed in the match, that sissy two hand shot was a desperate move and not impressive. He still has to improve his agility, because right now he ain't impressive to me, even if Hype-bitch is trying sell us him. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| Simply fantastic. Chiakis entrance turned the momentum of the match and brought even more hype with his sick moves and attitude. Kuzuryuu seems complete with him as a point guard, unless we get some sort of "secret weapon" ala monster center later down the line(and sure as hell I hope we do) Also appreciated the friendly post match interaction. Those charming moments are truly precious. 6 episodes in and I already feel invested like after 50. This series knows how to push the right buttons. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I thought Chiaki would be the center of the team, PG is the last thing I expected from him, sweet jesus that caught me off-guard. PS. I also want more Sora X Madoka stuffs going and having some slight romance involved, but its not like that big of a deal since the main attraction is still the basketball theme. |
  |
| This was a really cute episode, and I'm glad they were all super happy at the end of the game <3 fuck those guys that were watching those wth |
 |
| they all growing up together. chiaki just joined the group. looking forward to future matches. I never got watch any sports anime but I am really enjoying this. |
“You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin” . |
| Wow oh wow! The game did took a different turn. Great play of Chiaki, this makes more exciting! Hope Sora's injury won't result to anything grave. Excited for next week again! |
 |
| I hope the pacing picks up. |
 |
| That was a great first match. We got to see Sora shine with the skills he has already achieved, but also all the weaknesses that come from his inexperience. Momoharu's potential strengths as a tall player are revealed and we get to see him defend Sora from the other teammates when they were giving him grief. Madoka also once again shows her best girl traits by convincing Chiaki to finally play, who turns out to be a very strong player himself and easily steals last half of the episode by flexing all over the other team. I like that they still lost by a huuuge margin though, its more realistic that way. |
| Now this is the cliche shounen sports moment I was waiting for. This was a great episode But bruh only the first practise match and Sora already got 2 semi injuries. Who is he, Goro? FireFistYK said: Also, this might be wishful thinking, but I really hope to see some serious romance between Madoka and Sora. we all know Sora x Chiaki is gonna be endgame ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Man, it seems the episode just lasted a few minutes. It actually surprised me when the end credits started rolling. Great episode this week. Chiaki finally decided to join the game and jeez, he showed some crazy good skills. Overall and in terms of entertainment, it was a fantastic match. By the way, seeing Momoharu patting Sora's head every now and then is kinda cute, being honest. I'm really happy to see them getting along so well. And on a side note, it seems some people here want some romantic development between Madoka and Sora but I honestly see her more as a "big sister" figure to him. If anything, I think the blond girl from the OP would be a more fitting choice for him. |
| It's really cool that the most unassuming character turns out to be the genius. It was foreshadowed over the last few episodes, but Chiaki really gets me excited in this show. |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| Chiaki finally came around. Unffff hearing Nakai Kazuya and Konishi Katsuyuki speak in the same episode is too much for my seiyuu loving soul phew. Looking forward to seeing what happens from here on out. Loving the relationship between Momoharu and Chiaki and also looking forward to seeing more of that. |
| Chiaki's my favorite character. I love how he gets rejected all the time and was heartbroken when the girl he took on a date ditched him. He's carefree despite it all and just nonchalantly eats chips or sweets on the side. Of course, I also like Sora and Momo but so far Chiaki has been my favorite. This is a great feelgood series. Not gonna lie, I clapped my hands whenever Chiaki pulled an awesome move on the court. And just casually steals Chiba's shoes. |
| 臭い- |
| I knew that afro man would be great. I am excited to see how they get better and better! |

| bruhh .. i'm very likely anime genre sport for now !! |
| I loved the episode but did they really last 23' ?!! It's like as soon as I started it's already finished. BTW I was waiting for Chiaki to join the team, I'm glad he did it in this occasion. Sora must be protected I also liked Madoka speech to Chiaki ;) |
 |
| He is big for a point guard |
| I never thought the afro guy would be a point guard, holy shit, thought he would be more like a PF? but oh well good episode, was nice to see they finally playing it together I was worried about the pace, I think its extremely slow but seeing it'll have 50 episodes makes more sense. I just hope they make the games more exciting, ya I know they're basically all rookies but the game part was meh for me so far |

| They do a great job of depicting the in game shots of each player and the moves they’re making. Chiaki is a legend and Sora is dope as always. Can’t wait until we get some real games going. |
| Dis' gonna be soooo good! Chiaki's addition made me feel the anime took off a second time, even though it was already more than fine... I knew he'd surrender to Sora's charm! |
| great episode! they see it through the end! Chiaki is a very big addition to the game and his presence is not to be reckoned with! the shows getting better and better! 5/5. |
 |
| I've been waiting for Chaki to play and wow!!! Loved this episode, love this anime! <3 |
 |
| Chiaki is a beast, I'd say he's even better than Sora. |
| Woahh Afro guy is good too! They will have a chance to win in official match next time <3 |
 |
| next up tobi gonna make appereance. cant wait! |
 |
| Madoka is actually the manliest character in this series ...... girl's got balls |
 |
| This show brings me such joy |
| Great episode, the match was really good, Chiaki seems to be really intelligent |
 |
| Shut the fuck up, Madoka |
 |
| That bastard Chiaki finally joins in, with a grand entrance by singing some boss music and throwing a table..seems like he has the talent, the height and Chiba's shoes to help the team out. Good to see the other team having changed their views on 'height is a must' |
