I loved the episode, the match was awesome, I can't wait for the next one ^^
The green-haired guy seems interesting xD
I also loved the 'see you next time' picture (well, those pictures are always great xD) <3

Ah, I love sports anime and manga. There's always time to stop and have a conversation in the middle of a game.
Pfffft, is a fujoshi drawing the endcards or something? 3 of 4 have been blatant fangirl bait. xP

You need to know that sports anime/manga (except the ones will only girls like Ro-Kyu-Bu of course!) ARE fujoshi bait! And you know why? Because fujoshi BUY more than other otaku! Of course since there are much more otaku guys than fujoshi, there will always have more ecchi/loli/harem anime than fujishi bait anime... and seriously, in THIS anime, the ONLY thing (yet!??) you can "complain" about is the last second eye-catch picture!!!!! Do you know how many good series where stained by stupid useless ecchi?? I don't mind ecchi when it has a meaning, but when we already have a good story, heavy ecchi is stupid, but it sell so... Here it's not like you will have naked shower scenes where the guys playing together comparing their size... isn't it? how many time did you (girls, not "only" fujoshi) have to watch this because the anime was interesting?

I wasn't complaining. If anything, I find it entertaining.

Perhaps you should calm down a bit? People like what they like, and that's okay. I agree with you that dropping something over something that lasts for less than a second (and is very easy to avoid seeing) is silly though.
If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues.

I'm really in love with this episode. Totally insane and intense and awesome, more in the later part. I was screaming "Oderete gi!!!", which means something like "Skin them alive!!!"

God, 5/5.

O___o
You wasn't complaining? I'm sorry, but when you began a sentence by "Pfff", the "blatant fangirl bait" and "xP" it's really don't look like you enjoyed it ^_^!!!Maybe I should have checked you profile and notice you were a girl... but even so, it was a girl who said she dropped the series because a the above mentioned eye-catch...

I don't need more fanservice (for this series ^^, there are enough doujin ^_~) but if they add more, I'm curious to see how far they can go!
I remember specially Get Backers and Dear Boys whose manga where "very" shounen, with some ecchi/panties/skit lift be became almost BL anime (and I was not yet really into BL when I watched those series but still remember how much it was evident!)

[EDIT]Btw, didn't they forget all the fangirls around the blond guy? They were a lot in episode 3, no?? I don't notice them in this episode... have to watch it again ^^

Damn the music is so good here, really sucks you in the game, which unfortunately is too fast and not much details. But that's just how it is in the manga. Only specific moments stand out like the trick combo of Kuroko and Kagami, Hyuga showing some shooting and that buzzer beater.
It gets a bit detailed later on, the matches, but in the meantime, we'll just have to do with this.

Midorima in that wagon is so lolz.
Can't wait for the three Onos(Kensho, Yuuki and Daisuke) to play all at once in a match.

Since when was this a fujoshi bait anime? I remember this was one of the ignored mangas in WSJ. Oh wel..

Was disapointed that Seirin won. Their first time playing a strong school, with one of Kiseki no Sedai to boot, and they win, just like that? Pity, cause it's too shounen-y for me... Where's room for growth if they win right off the bat.

I, for one, liked the fanservice-y endcard. And it's just an endcard, it's not like they added BL into the actual episode or something. There's only, like, one girl on the cast, so it's no surprise if people get ideas about all the hot guys running around there.

I was at the edge of my seat the whole episode. Been a long time since I've enjoyed an anime this much. ;3; Also, Hyuuga! He's awesome and deserves more attention. His shooting skills. (〜 ̄▽ ̄)〜 ♥

And that endcard at the end was just eye-candy. \(*T▽T*)/

Of all aspects to evaluate an anime watchable or not, people choose one lousy picture at the end? Get over it! I don't like BL, I like Ecchi perverted stuff, but even I know this is an anime worthy of praise, undeserving censure. If it is more preferable, there many other crap anime that doesn't throw stuff at the end like what they did with this, so go watch them.

First of all, this is a Shounen sports anime, it's aimed at young boys, or even children, and it certainly has nothing to do with fujoshi's


Stopped reading after first sentence. Someone obviously had never, or don't, live in an area infested with fujoshi.

As my first basketball anime, I really tried to enjoy this. And I did enjoy the first three episodes because the characters are good. However, as someone who doesn't like basketball, I just can't enjoy watching the games. I found myself wishing the episode would hurry up and end.

All in all, I can see that this anime is great. However, unlike with baseball anime, I don't feel at all like cheering loudly at the TV.

Therefore, I am now dropping this show. If I can't enjoy the games, there's no point in watching a sport anime.

@akito989 & iLove3P: Thank you ^_~ but you know, this guy always act as he knows everything... like no Kuroko no Basket doujin!!!


And to go back to Kuroko no Basket, I don't know (of course) if the DVD will sell very well (their are a good series for Josei this season, and fujoshi ARE (mostly, some are younger) Josei), but the DVD are not all, there are also all the merchandising AND the manga! A lot of anime ARE created to PROMOTE the manga/novel, so even if it sell not so good but the manga sell better, the anime is a success!!!

As for ep4, no one answer about the blond guy fangirls? did they disappeared? Not that I complain about it, but why "introduce" them to forget them next episode?

Believe in what you want, and I'm surprised that what I said made you laugh. And even more so because you're not dead yet, if you actually laughed for hours and hours... having nothing to do. :p

And I'm getting the feeling that this season's animes are mostly 24-ish long.

...Too bad Hiiro no Kakera is one of them. 'Could have given the slot for Kuroko. Is 24 enough for the manga? OTL I'm guessing a no, and thus, me will prepare for rushes and crammings and um, well, the story being different. QAQ

I don't like watching basketball at all, but I loved it. I actually don't like watching sports at all, but for some reason I really like sport anime and manga. They're so much more exciting.



Loved that last still after the preview for next week's episode, Kuroko and Ryouta, haha.
Overall, great episode, I need to read the manga again though, because it's been a while.

Kinda surprised that people are dropping this anime just because of a teeny 2-second eyecatch that doesn't even blatantly scream yaoi. But oh well. Do what you like, I guess.

I'm not usually into sports anime (the last one I watched was Major and I didn't even really follow it) but this really caught my attention. Hoping it gets better.

Also, Hyuga's sadist mode. ♥

Great episode they finally won :D I don't know why but I have a felling that there will be something that triggers kuroko and that makes him a great offensive but then I guess that it would defeat the purpose of the kuroko and kagami duo.

The action in this episode was great, it was nerve- wracking, it was also good that we get to see the team and not only the two main protagonist in this episode. So far the best, and makes you anticipate what's next from the five.

the 91.72% speaks for itself.

The most intense episode in the series so far. I didn't know I was holding my breath until the episode ended. Awesome ally-oop at the end. It's good to see the regulars aren't small fry either.

Kise will probably get some good development because of this.

This is THE new sports anime, hands down.

I think Kise just became my favourite character ♥ Watching him get angry and blast through everyone ... oh my god seriously *_*
Holy crap intense episode though! Even though I think it woulda worked better if they lost
Kuroko gets hurt and we're finally (lol) introduced to the other characters on their team (even though I forgot most of them ... #4 is the shooter, there's the quiet guy, jack of all trades, and calm collected guy).
Introduced to the glasses green haired guy (another GOM). Lol, anyone who's anyone has different coloured hair :P Looks like we'll finally get to "meet" him next episode ... XD (His voice ... I was like I KNOW THIS GUY XD)
ALSO I LOOKED AT THE SEIYUU LIST THERE ARE SO MANY ONOS WTF LOL

Wow, you gotta watch out for Kise's elbow. It's really hard and sharp! Kuroko could have died from it!

Wasn't really fond of this game. Can Kagami do something that ain't dunking? I know that he's super tall, but that doesn't really show if he's a good player or bad player. All we saw is that he's tall. Hopefully he scores a bit different in the next episodes.
