| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Dat OST. Epic. This match just got even more intense and Kuroko is one tough kid on the field there. Great episode of action. I liked most of the teamwork from Seirin. Heh, I lost count how many slam dunks in this match already. |
 |
| Even that guy who can block Kuroko's disappearance cannot block his new dribble! He then is too conscious about that new skill and forgot about the old one. This actually confuses him for which skill Kuroko will use. Then both teams are in a very heated game. They somehow ended the ep./the game with same point. vs. Deliquent guy next? |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| that was breathtaking |
| His drive was pretty awesome but I was still expecting something more epic in the way it was presented. Maybe my expectations were a little to high lol. |
"I am the bone of my sword, Steel is my body and Fire is my blood, I have created over a thousand blades, Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life, Have withstood pain to create many weapons, Yet, those hands will never hold anything, So as I pray, unlimited blade works" |
| oh my god finally an episode that makes me feel these feelings aND THAT CLIFFHANGER takao's voice is perfect i just cannot- haha background music was funny to me but overall pretty much perfect episode because feelings |
 |
| Was holding my breath at the end there with Kippei's freethrows x_x And also that rebound battle between Kagami and Midorima, them sparkling sweat. The game is too damn exciting, especially with Kuroko's vanishing drive making a debut and the fast paced attacks! |
| i dont even know why the heck do they bother to have a recap.. i must have seen the previous episode like a zillion times.. Anyways it was amazing , kuroko's new drive was good but needed some substance. i thought his vanishing drive worked on the same principle as his mis-direction, in mis-direction he takes the attention off himself and in vanishing drive he takes it off the ball , right?.. then why is Takao not able to stop him with his eagle eye Some gameplays were repeated which ticked me off, i mean i wait a god damned one week for this amazing anime, atleast put in some fresh ones or just let the story continue.. Kiyoshi was amazing by the way his ankle is weak, still he managed to make a shot from that particular spot where without a jump shot its extremely hard to be accurate considering he is a center and not a high-flyer like hyuga.. And is that hyuga in the end with the yellow hair and is serein 11 number 2 being thrown into the hoop by midorima, i cant wait until next week, i hope they dont repeat that much as they did today, it took out a little of the excitement, it really did.. |

| This episode was tooo instense, bloody hell When we got to see Kurokos new drive that was soo epic, and it was great music they were playing at the time so beautiful and heroic. Kuroko is just unstoppable!! When they had the 2 free shots the whole i just couldnt breathe, the second shot when it was going in soo slowly was too instense. I had a feeling it wouldnt go in, i mean Kiyoshi could barely stand Midorima and Kagami at the end, was soo cool, what a cliffhanger!! I NEED THE NEXT EP NOW |
| Cliffhanger ugh..how you gonna play a sista like that?!! |
 |
| OMG they're going to show (LOLOLOLOL) Hyuuga's old hair in the next episode! Can't wait for the next week just so that I can just ROFL when they animate those scenes of him! xD ----------- *Edit: Anyhow, overall decent episode. I don't know if I'm the only who feels this, but I feel the newer episodes, in terms of animation quality, weren't good as the first two episodes. It seems like as we get further into the story for this season, I sense the quality of each episode deteriorating more and more. I'm starting to nitpick more on the little things they could have done better (I didn't like the few animation repeats in this episode). Had mixed feelings on how they animated the Vanishing Drive, but will probably rewatch the episode just for re-evaluation. They still did a great job with adapting the story so far though. I also don't understand why they need to go through long recaps for every episode. Like few people said, it sort of takes away from the tension of the show. I hope this wouldn't become a trend for the rest of this season. Also, they did a slightly better job with handling the OST/music in this episode. But they could do better. So far, the only OST that stood out to me positively is the one during the scene of Kagami opening the door couple episodes ago (now that was epic). |

| What a cliffhanger! Before the match, i thought that seirin will lose to Shutoku then they will win the other match (against Kiyoshi's enemy/partner? team). Now i'm not that sure about that. Kagami's high jump have to win against midorima. That would be fair. Or maybe they run out of time and play a short-time match. Honestly, i don't know what are the rules excatly in this situation. Maybe just a tie. :P Anybody? (without manga spoiler hints, please) Btw the previously scenes took up so much time (3minutes at least). |
| Today i bought cookies to eat them while watching KnB episode so i enjoy it even more.The episode was so fucking intense that i forgot about them.Seriously...they were all unpacked next to my hand. This is exactly why i love Kuroko no Basket.Epic ost, amazing characters, intense episodes and just...everything. Preview: what the hell Hyuuga lmao. |
 |
| Recaps need to die...TBH.What a waste of three minutes. Anyway,the rest was just delicious. |

| Hyuga Junpei: “Yeah… I’m confident… Because my teammates will help me out! I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!” Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.” |
| lol at the preview xD Dat hair.. |
| Vanishing Drive is awesome. |
| Wow. I didn't like this game much in the manga, but they sure have made it really interesting in anime, especially Kuroko's Vanishing Drive. I love how the visuals explains how the players is distracted by the ball and in that distraction, Kuroko passes through! |

| Ohh this episode was so great. That Vanishing Drive, Midorima got lost. Still SHUTOKU go for the win. |
 |
| Solid episode. Too bad I got spoiled on the game result already. HAHA NEW EPISODE PREVIEW. Hyuuga DKM. |
| They did that scene in the end repeatedly just so they can end the episode :/... |
| EPIC!! EDGE OF MY SEAT!!!!!! I feel the match will be a tie. |
| Even though I've read the manga already, this show still has me on the edge of my seat. This episode was great. I love how they animated Kuroko's Vanishing Drive. I didn't really like how they repeated scenes over and over, such as the passes and shots from earlier in the game. But oh well. Can't wait for next week's episode. I wonder how long they are going to make the flashback last. |
| Chikushō, chikushō, chikushō!!! (what a desperate voice, lol) xD What an epic episode and terrible cliffhanger :( |

| "I surpassed my limit long ago" Amazing! Also Vanishing Drive and THAT CLIFFHANGER |
| I almost fall off my chair oh my god. tHE CLIFFHANGER WHYYY |
| dat epic cliffhanger awesome vanishing drive is awesome |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| BANISHINGU DORAIBU~! God, is he teleporting or what?! This series should totally be listed as supernatural genre as well :D I totally lost my track of time, it was that intense. I don't even mind the recaps, usually I dislike those like most people, but here they only make me excited for moar action <3 |
  |
| They had to end the episode there. That vanishing drive was cool. |
 |
| My heart can't handle this kind of pressure!! 2 seconds felt like a lifetime then they end it there c'mon! |
 |
| Two seconds surely took its sweet time. >,< Other than that it was, as usual, pretty intense! Seirin cannot lose in regulation time now. I wonder whether we are heading for an overtime! |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| ...and cliffhanger. ANIME WHY YOU SO CRUEL?! |
| Go ***k yourself. Polite as usual, lightXTC |
| Amazing! what an intense episode I've got nervous with that free throw and with that tie 104 in 2 seconds. damn that cliffhanger, maybe they are tie. By the way, I'm glad to see Kuroko's vanishing drive that was really great. Dat preview. Midorima making Tetsuya no. 2 his ball O.O and who's that blonde guy with glasses? waiting for another week. |
| "Anything is possible if you stop doubting yourself, so put some more faith unto you!" |
| Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Really didn't want this episode to end T_T So good though really wanting the next episode now. |
 |
| How did you end it on me like that!!!! This isn't even the epic shit yet man. Love it. |
| Vanishing drive reminds me of Devil Bat Ghost. |
 |
| 3 minutes of recap, wow. Except that bs, this was the best episode so far. It was fucking intense damn it, I had goosebumps during the entire match. |
 |

| I was fangirling every moment of this episode. And DAMN, that cliffhanger, again.... Next week please come quickly :( |
| That rebound scene after the missed free throw is awesome... just hate the looong recap though and some reused scenes in the game. But I like the intensity of the game. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| Wow best episode so far. Not gonna lie, this episode made me wet |
