Another great episode.
I would like to see the world's best basketball player make an appearance. The equivalent of a Micheal Jordan. Someone from America on the NBA. To see how their skills compare. It's always hard to determine how good players are in sports anime because it mostly focuses on Japanese highschool aged students.

Oh, I see. So, Kuroko's "skill" has a limit too... well, I should have imagined that but still. I really like how Taiga took Kise's words. That's how it should be.
I was laughing pretty hard at the "kurokocchi", lmfao Kise it's an idiot. A pretty hot idiot though.

Coach Takeuchi is a dick, making Kuroko's team play half court.
I guess Kagami and Kuroko have to carry their team.
Lol, Kagami broke the ring. To the full court! And here comes Kise.

Kise's Imitation is pretty broken, returning all of Kagami's moves back at him.
Also, Kuroko's Misdirection gets less effective as the game prolongs.
Kuroko is the weakness of both Seirin and Kaijo, lol.
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.

Omg Kagami breaking the hoop was the greatest xD Such an intense game and it was only practice LOL

Kise's pretty awesome, I love his imitation ability, although it'd drive me crazy if I was against that. :P I love how Kise's teammate picks on him it's so funny. But Kise sure loves Kurokocchi ^_^

Kuroko's ability has a limit though which isn't really surprising since it makes sense. But I love how he knew the other teams weakness and didn't say anything about it and then Riko's reaction haha!

Kise is such a fanboy of Kuroko's :3

I wonder if Seirin can win now that they know Kise's weakness.. Kuroko is pretty capable and strong when it comes to a surprise, but he said it himself he can't keep up..

So eventually Kuroko's tricks don't work and you do see him lol.

I don't get how the girl can see all their details in numbers just like that even if she watched her father and stuff.

I can't wait to see next episode!

Kise really wants Kuroko on his team lol.

"Kurokocchi". Maybe I should start calling my friends with a "-cchi" suffix.

God job Kagami, you just broke the hoop.

That was an intense episode and gameplay.
Kuruko's skills are special, but he can't use it all the times, lets see if they can win with this disadvantage. And what about the whole team, they aren't doing anything important lol :/

Taiga broke the basketball hoop. Hahaha. And the Kaijo's coach was so pissed at them for scoring first, so they had no choice but to use the full court. Lmao.

I s2g the animation in this anime is just wow. So happy they're animating the whole game and not just poses and shit. Great job to the studio.

That was an intense game, so it makes Kuroko tired, too, actually everyone's tired already even though it's just 5 minutes since they started playing. Apparently Kuroko's lack of presence skills wears off, too. Just like what Ryouta said it's not magic. The more they get used to it, its effect gradually decreases. But what if there's an element of surprise to Kuroko's skill? Huehue. :P

Taiga saying "You'll never achieve an invisible basketball style" to Ryouta while holding Kuroko. Haha.

Great episode. 5/5.

Also, it's highschool basketball for crying out loud. This isn't the NBA. The coach can be anyone that can do the job. Honestly, out of all things to complain about you complain that the coach is a girl. Wtf?


Don't give me that crap basketball is all about build and size. You must never played the sport because it takes talent and skill too. Thats like saying Yao Ming the greatest center because he was the tallest. LOL

How can you call me sexist when my avatar and signature are females. LOL.

The coach isnt even usefull. She just does numbers and thats it. You do know most coaches have some type of experience in the sport even if they didnt play.

I said i wouldnt have mind if she was a woman. You just wont admit Japan got a highschool girl fetish. LOL

I dont get what ecchi has to do with the show. Most sports anime have zero ecchi so im use to that. Either way the show is ok so far.
....Okay i'm sorry, i know this post was 5 YEARS AGO, but i can't help but to laugh and school you here. But yes, it's all about your size and built....sadly of course.

Many of the greatest players in NBA history and especially the ones you consider top 10 are men with size and built. Shaq, Russell, Wilt, Kareem, Hakeem and even Timmy D since his a PF/C. I mean skillfull players like Hakeem(post moves) and Kareem(sky hook) are skillful because of their height and advantage of reach. Also remember we are talking about size and built..it's not just height, MJ, Kobe and even Curry are still tall and huge af compared to the average human being. LeBron James has always been one of the greatest because his a freaking 6'8 250lbs athletic machine, i mean his chasedown blocks, lay ups(primary scoring ability) and passing are because of his size and built. Even Magic is great because of his height at the PG position, which is why he has such great court vision. Kevin Durant is one of the top 3 in the world because his long limbs and height makes it more difficult to contest his shots and drives.

Yes, of course we have great players like Larry, Nash and even Reggie Miller but at the end of the day...a lot of the greatest players are there because of genetics lol.

I already like this Kise dude, very charismatic, and feels like a second protagonist in a way. Maybe all of the members of the generation of miracles will be the same.

hmm, the OST is too much rock for me now, though in the intense moment it's being used right.

i thought they are gonna have much more strategic, they rely more on kuroko abilities than make a plan to crack their game.

and kagami kinda annoyed me, though i loved that he said it's not matter if they gonna win or not.

.....was that an euphemism about Kise not returning the favour unless it’s in the basketball court? I snorted. I see you Kise Ryouta!!!!!

I like Kagami already, his reaction to Kise dissing him was great.







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there

Kise's signature playstyle is to imitate his opponents but do it better thanks to his superior athleticism. He's the embodiment of the saying: "What you can do, I can do better!" to a tee!

With how Taiga's riled up Kise by saying that Kuroko's their secret weapon even though he's at the brink of exhaustion, I wonder if that was a bluff that would cause them to pay more attention to Kuroko compared to the others. It's either that or they're really banking on Kuroko's lack of presence, hm.

So, terminology and technicality aren't a thing in this series. Bummer. Kise is kind of an underwhelming character to me so far. Well, outside of his association to the Generation of Miracles at least. Kuroko continues to prove that he's an interesting character. It's unfortunate that there's a decent amount who find Kuroko an ineffective character due to the deadpan way he expresses himself. He's vocally stood up for himself, hasn't let Taiga intimidate him and knows how to tell others "no".

The concept that Kuroko uses sleight of hand as a passing technique is also a really cool idea. Sure, it subtracts from the sport in general but the anime itself doesn't seem to be following the rules anyway. I'd rather the extra dexterity than unbridled superpowers.
