Wow, that was an amazing episode. I swear I had my mouth open the entire time, especially at the climax where Midorima saw through Kagami's jump - I thought for sure Seirin was going to lose! Damn, Kuroko, you are a freaking boss.

And I can't wait to see who the pink haired girl really is. Definitely someone from their middle school, but it'd be interesting to see her and Kuroko's "relationship." Aomine seems interesting, more so than Midorima. I wonder what his special skill is... We've seen Kise, Midorima, and next up is Aomine. Two more left to go!

-Midorima being able to shoot 100% FG from anywhere on the court
-Manager having a machine-like ability to judge peoples' physical stats
-Kuroko being able to disappear and reappear whenever he sees fit
-Kagami being able to seemlessly surpass his limits (WTF is this DBZ?)

These reasons coupled with the fact that this series takes itself too damn seriously are why I am baffled that people think this is a good series.

Wow, what an awesome episode. That last scene was just AMAZING!!!! Though I wonder how Midorima can talk that much/fake/all the other stuff in only 3 seconds. but w/e.

That was such a great finale to a great game.

I mean its not the best. I still like Buzzer Beater more since it was about all skills. You have to admit this show is entertaining. Im just watching it for baskeball moves and nothing more.

Since the NBA finals over this the only basketball i can watch until Olympics LOL

The series is good because it takes itself seriously despite its unrealistic traits.
The basketball in it is essentially a plot-device. If we'd like to watch a realistic show about basketball we would rather just watch the Euroleague or the NBA. This is pure fiction, and you should keep that in mind whenever you watch an anime series in general.

Great episode, albeit a tad predictable. Good go, Kuroko.

I don't remember feeling this happy after a win in an anime, although I knew that they were going to to win. I was restless throughout the whole episode as well. It's brilliantly done.

Finally we see Aomine and Momoi. It's great to see them making a full debut in the next episode. Although Aida is the best, I have a feeling that I'll fall in love with Momoi.

Not sure if they'll ever animate it but I can't wait to see Akashi who is voiced by Kamiya Hiroshi.
And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be...

Kuroko is only becoming cooler in my eyes >_<
and so are the first years who never are used in a game
I hope they'll become better just like the current second years
or like Shinji, one of my fav senior because he has a funny face
And the preview was funny< Kuroko so cute, he can't swim?

I thought Midorima was crying at the end, I guess it was just the rain making a perfect looking tear.

I wonder who this girl that loves Kuroko is.

Aomine gave me chills at the end.

Enlighten us and tell us how it could be better? I think those elements you mentioned is what makes it a fine and entertaining shounen sports anime. Just imagine how boring it would be without them.

I'm pretty sure he was crying... I didn't think about it at the time but i guess there's a chance he wasn't since he was perfectly fine in the scene afterwards.

Is it me or were the production values/animation downgraded this episode? Some characters, especially Kuroko, looked off in some parts.

Anyway, i saw the ending coming but still cheered at the end. Can't wait to see who the new characters are.

Also, the end card with Kuroko and Midorima is really cute.

That was just plain epic and suspenseful, I was actually on the edge of my seat. Everything in the actual final moments of the game


Cant wait for next episode, perfect location! and Aominecchi is probably third favorite of the GOM, thus far

It's more funny that the game clock is pausing whenever they are having a conversation. Anyways, you have to accept it. It's an Anime and it's a great one :)

What a let down. I thought he was going to show off other parts of his game.

Reading all the comments before commenting. Haters gonna hate!!!

If you don't like watching unrealistic moves in basketball why still watch this anime. Come on! Get a life!

Back to the game. I saw Tetsuya #2 in the preview is he coming out this early? Kiyoshi will make his appearance in episode 19. So should be #2 will appear after that. (=_=)

They will making some changes, huh? Anyway love the preview ("Kuroko don't sleep, don't float like that").

Awesome episode!

First off: AOMINEEEE OH GOD, YES! Well, that was awesome. Midorima scared me there for a second, I was wondering how Seirin would stop him. And sure enough, Kuroko to the rescue. How'd punching that ball feel? o.o;; Can't wait for the next episode.

Great episode, the last minute of the game was super awesome, the consecutive 3 points that hyuga made at the end, especially the one that he made at the far end of the half court was just amazing, i was literally clapping my hands when i saw it went it, and the last 3 seconds was just..ZOMG. I thought midorima had him, did not see kuroko coming. Epic episode, coupled with epic OST. Plain win.

I think you're forgetting his defense. He's got very solid defense, as seen in several scenes in the past episodes.
