Excellent. *q*

Glad to see some character development. Teppei coming back was really one nice step for them. Telling them up front what's wrong just doesn't work all the time. They have to realize that themselves. But that doesn't always work either, so here's Teppei to give you guys a little push. ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

Also,
- Midorima failing to hide the fact that he watched the championship league
- Kagami and Teppei's one-on-one
- Hyuuga hitting Kuroko
- Teppei being an awesome center/point guard
- Kagami and Kuroko being true basketball bros

Lovely.

Next episode looks really interesting. Can't wait! ♥

When Kagami said "you don't have to pass to me any more" I was like what?? you're taking it this far?! But when I learned the reason behind it was just great. I'm glad Kuroko opened up to Kagami. Character development was sooo good.
it seems next ep will be funny but what I'm really looking forward to is Kuroko's new style and how he's going to create it.

Kuroko confessed that he lied to Kagami, so yes it still applies as a confession.

Enjoyed this episode more than I thought I would. Awesome tsundere Midorima at the beginning was awesome XD
Teppei sure is tricky ... wearing indoor shoes wtf lol ;P TBH I thought he'd win, but he didn't ... but that's OK too. Seeing the first years play ... he sure has a plan XD
OMG the past with Teppei is awesome XD Hilarious too :P So Kuroko has to find his own style ...
Explanation ("confession", wtf) was very interesting. I can see why they would stop trusting in him if they became so much stronger. So now they're going to become stronger (typical shounen is typical) by the Cup so they can work together more and stuff ... wow it's just like a confirmation of their confession earlier omg. This show, I can't even -_-"
Next episode is summer trip ... IS THIS THE SWIMSUIT/BEACH/HOT SPRINGS EPISODE?! Yes, I think it is :P

Now THIS is how you do character development in a sports anime.

I'm so pleased with the recent plot developments. Even though the loss itself was harsh, it acts as a great catalyst to force the characters to improve. And not just by training and practicing more, but by having the characters seriously question their goals and their assumptions about their own limits.

I'm especially happy with Kuroko's recent epiphany because I seriously never expected Kuroko's style of play to change. Aomine was right when he chastised Kuroko for his lack of improvement, and I'm so glad that this anime has the balls to acknowledge the flaws of its main character.

totally addicted to that show, even though I did not expect much from it, since it was a sports theme, but at the end of the day it totally surprised me ... quite an entertaining, funny and intense anime after all :3

Judging from this episode and the preview for the next one, I'm guessing that we won't be seeing the rematch with Aomine in this season...I've lost all will to watch the remaining episodes...

Wonder what Kuroko's new Basketball style will be? Maybe he will actually take shots now? I think Kurko should be on the bench anyway, with Teppei starting instead of Kuroko.

Shoutoku would have lost the year before if Teppei wasn't in the hospital.
Damn, I wonder how OP he can be. Seems like he didn't really try during his one-on-one against Kagami.

Kuroko has reached his limits, so he decides to change his style.
He decided to join Seirin because he wasn't trusted and the rest of the Generation of Miracles didn't recognize his style.
This is why he wants to defeat the Generation of Miracles.

There's not much action in this episode, but at least Kuroko and Kagami finally got along again.

Looks like Kuroko's going to have a new style of basketball. I can't wait~

That last scene with Kuroko and Kagami was wonderful. So glad they cleared everything up between them, I wouldn't be able to take it for another episode. True basketball bros. And finally some character development too. Kuroko is such an enigma most of the time, it was nice to see him open up.

I really want to see Teppei play now..!! Or even just a real one-on-one vs Kagami. He's so goofy all the time but he must have a super serious side that comes out on the court..!!

Liked seeing Takao bug Midorima about going to see the championship league. I'm not fond of Midorima at all (too tsundere for me) but his interactions with Takao make it a little better.

I liked seeing the Seirin first years play too, even if it was super short. I want to see more of them or just team interactions off the court in general. So crossing my fingers next episode's training camp will deliver!

lool ikr, even for anime that was weird

so as i said, all special haired players are part of the miracles. it was basically confirmed when teppei said kagami plays like one. kuroko isn't just dead inside, he has his own desires and drives as well. interesting to know.

Kuroko telling Kagami about how the Generation of Miracles didn't trust him back then in Teiko when they started blossoming because yeah Kuroko didn't improve. Like they stopped depending on him when they're even one point behind, so they're no longer passing him the ball. Poor baby. 😕 And then there's Kagami who he came across with and finally someone who trust him. My heart jfc.

Kuroko wanted to get stronger and Kagami is not leaving him alone; they'll get stronger together. Good luck, Kuroko, finding your new style. Yaas.

really like how things are going after that lose, and how the story develop with the characters.

glad that kagami didn't really ditched kuroko, and i'm also interested in what kuroko going to do.

apart from that, the episode were actually pretty slow, though i don't see how they would do the story faster with less impact, so i guess it's ok.

Well it would definitely do Kuroko good to practice some conventional basketball, so he can be at least as useful as an average player if his deception isn't working.

Kuroko bout to switch up his game. I hope he gets his other areas worked out. Cause I wanna see Kuroko moving down the courts and doing 3 pointers. Maybe that's hard to think but I'm praying.
