----------------------------------------
Aomine is such a boss tbh.

Kagame's promise earlier seems ensuring enough. I was hoping he'd keep his words. Kuroko getting knocked down to the floor wasn't pleasing to watch though.

I'm always impressed by how well they adapt the passes in the anime, but I think it was very well done in this episode. We're starting the turn based power battle now.

"Now I can have fun and use more power!"
"Now I can use my full power!"
"That was my full power, but now I'll show you my full-er power!"
** Next episode **
"Now I'll show you my ultimate power!"

Aomine's power level just went over 9000.
Wonder how will Seirin stop him.

Imayoshi's marking Kuroko... does he have some sort of skill to shut down Kuroko?
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

I just love how, in this match, every episode makes you feel even more hyped than the previous.
KAGAMI WAS BEAST >____<
It's cool that we get to see glasses guy's full power next episode, and with Aomine getting all pumped up... Damn, How the hell are Serin gonna win this!?
And I loved what glasses guy said at the end, that trying your hardest doesn't guarentee victory; such badassery
Still not a big fan of the OP, but the ED's great.

Can't wait when Aomine and Kagami really be on par with each other on the second half. That would be an awesome battle.

EPIC EPISODE!!!

Kagami going on par with Aomine was so awesome to see. The prelude to the Zone is done. Now it's almost time >.<

Loved everyones reactions to Kagami stopping the formless shot esp the GoM. First time to see them WTF faces XD

It's nice to see a happy Aomine, finally finding a worthy opponent :D

Nice to see Kuroko going back. U can always count on him. Loved how he stopped Aomine with his experience too ^^

But Damn Imayoshi marking him and Momo's face at the end mean shit :O

PV looked awesome. Kuroko is gonna own Imayoshi or so it seems ^^
And lol at Hanamiya saying he was more evil than him XD

Great Episode!!!
the ending theme is so nice, it growing on me more even though I already liked it.

The game is getting very interesting and I'm so excited to see what happens next with Kuroko back in the game just how far are they going to go! This anime does well with building hype and drawing you in. I'm seriously so into the episode by the end that when it goes off I'm thoroughly surprised. It seems so short!

Holy shit, can't wait for the next episode. Their power levels are increasing. I hope Kagami doesn't get so good, that he starts to act like Aomine. That's probably what Kuroko was thinking about. Chills all around.

I loved how Kagami showed his balls for once, it's completely true that he has always depended too much on Kuroko.
On a different note, I don't see how Aomine has never met someone on his level when not too long ago he had that match against Kise.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

I think that Kagami on his current level is better than Kise. But I wonder about Murasakibara's and Akashi's strength... Does Aomine is the best of GoM? (I don't read manga)

Isnt he considered "the ace"?

I think hes just better in terms of raw skill but if someone like say akashi were to face him, akashi would probably use some sort of tactics to beat aomine

since all the GoMs listen to him id say he could probably beat them

I may be wrong, but aren't there 2 new tracks in this episode? One was played when Imayoshi had the ball, ending with Kuroko earning a charge foul. The other when Kagami said that he's almost there. But the lack of variety in OST is indeed quite apparent this season.

I think Kise only copied Aomine's offense in that match, so while he had no problem scoring, he couldn't stop Aomine either. Kagami in wild beast mode can defend effectively against Aomine (so far) and blocked him twice.

Not a spoiler but something that can be inferred from past episodes: Aomine was indeed head and shoulders above the rest of the GOM at Teiko. He was the first among them to awaken his abilities (Kuroko himself said that in season 1 ). But the rest of the GOM all started to rapidly improve towards the end of their middle school years. And unlike the rest of them, Aomine had since rested on his laurels (not training at all) while the rest kept on training hard.

I think they shouldn't have skipped the flashback with Alex. Anime-only watchers must have thought that he had learned the wild beast instinct from Alex whereas in the manga, Alex stated that he had it before but lost it (probably due to his reliance on Kuroko). The whole purpose of the training in LA was to reignite that part of him.

Anyway, great episode. Much better than I had expected. From what I saw from last week's preview, I thought this episode was going to be badly animated. Glad to be wrong.

Much better than previous episode.Animation quality went up a lil bit and yeah.My only worry is that it seems like they are rushing story too much.Might be my imagination tho.
Well, anyways i really have no idea who will win, but i feel like Touhou again.Aomine too OP, and now Imayoshi has marked Kuroko...dang.I so want to see next episode!

Good episode as usual, but I dunno... it seemed a lot better when I read the manga. They skipped the interlude with Alex in America, but I still don't think 25 episodes is enough for the rest of the matches, let alone the massive block of backstory to come. What will you do, Production I.G.?

I hope the OST gets better by the Yosen, Shutoku, Kaijo and Rakuzan matches, because each one is more ridiculous than the last, and I can't wait to watch them ^_^
