I hope Teppei can knock some sense back into Kagami. I wonder how Kuroko will get out of his slump though...I guess all the hype is gonna be at the winter championship and we'll get introduced to the remaining members of the generation of miracles.

it's funny how i have already heard the line "even though we lost inter-high, we will aim for the winter cup!".... (something along the line) from 'Area no Kishi'.....

anyway.... i don't like it right now..... Kagami is starting to become another Aomine..... not needing Kuroko..... i hope kuroko would not stop like he said he did before......

Seriously, thank god for Teppei. His return to the team will knock some sense into Kagami and Kuroko. He's one of my favorite characters from the manga.
There were a lot of weirdly drawn faces this episode and were some things from the opening re-drawn or is it just me?
However, nice episode

Nice episode...didn't expect Teppei to sound like that...although to be honest I thought the manga had more feeling to it....
I am not sure if we are going to see the rest of the GoMs....since the series is almsot over...but maybe, a small intorduction? or probably a 2nd season?

On a side note...has anyone noticed that the ending cards are forming some kind of a story? Group play?....That's interesting....

I loved the fact though that Aomine got pissed at his teammate for badmouthing Kuroko lol <3 It shows he still cares about Kuroko~

Also, I really hope that Teppei shows Kagami how to have fun again playing basketball instead of being another aomine where it's best to be alone >.> Poor kuroko...

And Teppei is a pretty awesome character and he's really funny too...looking forward to see more of him.
So will he be the captain now?

I haven't read the manga, but I hope Teppei can knock some sense into Kagami! Maybe become Kuroko's light for a bit and teach both Kuroko and Kagami that Kuroko's way of basketball is right and it wins!

And I love how Aomine got mad when one of his teammates badmouthed Kuroko *__*

Teppei finally shows up! Damn. I feel like they could've made his introduction a bit more exciting. Can't wait to see people's reaction when they learn more about Teppei.

Teppei made things a lot more interesting. This was a great episode. I liked the aftermath of the game and how Aomine smacked the kid who was talking shit about Kuroko.

The highlight for me was when Aomine defended Seirin and Kuroko in the locker room post-game. Seriously, every week he gets better and better. I hope to see more interactions between he and Satsuki about the game/feelings.

I also really, really like Kagami's new(or old) "temporary" approach to basketball. It is very realistic for a highschooler to get frustrated and distant from his teammates after an event like that and try to prove something themselves. Man, even I've been through the same feeling a few times myself. I can really relate and am glad that he's being portrayed this way. We all know he'll snap out of it eventually though, especially with Teppei around.

Dayum, after losing against Touou and getting looked down upon by Aomine, Kuroko and Kagami have been psychologically damaged. Aomine getting pissed after one of his teammates badmouthed Kuroko was pretty damn scary lol. Aomine misses Kuroko NAAAAAAAWWW. >.> Kuroko and Kagami gotta make up and get together again (Okay lmao that sounds a bit wrong xD) Also, that OST that played right after the OP is so damn good. <3

Kiyoshi Teppei's intro was hilarious lmao. So he acts stupid and carefree but he's always up to something. He's also the ace. Can't wait to see what he's got install for the Seirin team xD. I also like how Midorima is a tsundere lmao. He actually cares for his 'friends'. Can't wait for next week. :D

Atta boy, Aomine. Way to defend Kuroko.

Poor kid, though. Kuroko doesn't seem to be that good at keeping friends, does he?

Sucks to see everyone so down in the dumps. They'll all snap out of sooner or later, so I'm not worrying, though, even Kagami. I can't wait to see him play Teppei.

Ah, the many faces of Hyuuga. Almost as funny as Teppei. I love this guy. ^^=
I wanna see them play a card game. That'll be amusing.

TEPPEI MY BABY IS FINALLY HERE! *fangirls* God I love him. SO much. His voice is a bit different than I expected but still awesome~ This episode was really good, it actually made up for some of the missing AoKuro feels that weren't there in episode 18 with the beginning bit.

And Aomine standing up for Kuroko *faints* It was better than in the manga~

Loving these cute little end sequences with the continuing story, that's really smart, XD.

Still confused on how they're going to end this. I mean, five episodes left, that isn't even barely enough time for a match, let alone anything else. All I know is that, if Akashi doesn't make more of an appearance, then there is almost guaranteed to be a second season. You can't sign on Kamiya Hiroshi to just say a few words, that's not how it works. So now the question is just where the first season will end.

Thank god for Teppei, I mean really. Wow.

Finally he appeared!

Nice episode, they fixed the OP animation too in this one. No more derpy faces in the OP!

Hell yeah finally after a long-wait, HE'S HERE!
Teppei's voice sounds older than what I expected it to be like, it's okay though, somehow he's more respectable and mature with that voice.

Well, onto character development!

Okay, the fact that the last episode took away the emotional defeat with the music behind the Montage was a bit annoying, BUT in the start o this one, with the music and all that brought it back, the bit where Aomine walks past Kuroko as well, and where he is simply standing in the middle of the court just before. I loved this episode, and finally Kiyoshi appeared! Cannot wait for the match between Aomine and Kise.

The improvements made to the OP were nice but the animation was kinda off this episode. Hopefully the one-on-one between Kagami and Teppei next week makes up for the slight drop in quality, I can't wait to watch Teppei play! He's a very refreshing addition to the cast and it looks like he'll be pulling Kagami out of his slump soon.

And poor Kuroko, let down by Aomine first and now by Kagami. :( Tetsu no. 2 was so adorable this episode though... I really hope a second season is announced at the end of the series.

This. Poor Kuroko.

What's up with all the manga Teppei fangirls here?

Anyway, I think it's OK that they lost. As much as everyone loves the underdogs, you can't just start and be the champion. It was getting annoying already how they got "more amazing" with every game.
