I'm trembling! My heart won't slow down! I've been waiting eagerly for the zone, this was way more than I hoped for. This might be the best anime episode i've ever watched! The animation is at it's top as well!

I am just a bit worried. If we assume that this game will be finished in the next episode then there are 9 episodes left of this season. They have some major games left! The one against Rakuzan will more than likely take up more time than this game. They won't be able to pull everything off in season 2. So either they stretch the winter cup into another season, or they change the story up completely! I really don't want that to happen!
The 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew adaptation is not as great as you remember it being.

A fun enough episode, but the manga felt like a better take and few moments in this felt strongly animated. These days everything gets improved for the DVD/Bluray release, I guess.

Sad, that they skipped the flashback when Aomine met Imayoshi and joined Touou.


Same! Hopefully they'll show it later? Because it might have messed up with the timing to leave the episode at a cliffhanger of Kagami in the Zone. It would've been nice Aomine development.


Saving it for an OVA to stick in with a manga volume limited edition perhaps...
I remember a manga chapter or two focused on the characters studying at Kagami's house (introducing how he lives) being left for the same treatment.

There is more money in that.

HOLY FUCK THIS ANIME IS AMAZING. Much much better than the first season. And coming from a huge fan of Prince of Tennis the matches in this anime are much more intense!

Either the script-writer is really bad, or the manga writer used those idiotic terms. Seriously it's not like our IQ is below 50 and we need a "KUROKO USES OVERFLOW" to understand what's happening. Makes me feel i'm watching pokemon or something.

I really like the show but those terms really bother me.

Well, I think next week will be the final episode for this match given that there's only 5(?) minutes left.

I think they decided that their target audience was either girls (hence the bromances) or 10 year basketball fans (hence the cheesy scriptwriting).

And so..... it drags on to another episode.

NONETHELESS, it was still awesome. Totally had chills when Kagami managed to react to Aomine in the Zone (that zap in their eyes lul).

Some intense shit is going on in the next episode with only 2 mins of playing time left. CAN'T WAIT

Yeah lets keep eating the shit out of this bad writing because it's an anime so it can be as stupid as it wants and no one will question it.


Your one and only favorite manga is Air Gear, which didn't even make sense half the time, especially toward the end. What were you saying about bad writing?


Never said I liked all of it, I know it goes to shit but the premise and the beginning is one of my favorites. And I understood it was in a fantastical world it is not based on real roller blading... This is a sports anime that is supposed to be based in the real world. You know misdirection and perfect 3 pointers are one thing, teleporting teammates and moving at the speed of light is another.

This match has gone on too long, and had too many "powers" for one match. I've already accepted the anime's quirks, but it's getting out of hand. I wanna see another match already, preferably without Seirin in it.

Aomine is a beast, I love his basket style and the nigga was fast as fuck!!!

Kagami can enter the zone because he is sick of losing all the time?! The only time we have seen Seirin lose a match was against Touou in season 1, cheap reason to enter the zone if you ask me -_-

IN before the "ZONE EXTREME!" where you can use more than 100%, lol.


Cream_Soda said:

"omg, we only talked about Aomine for 2 seasons, but there were really guys 20x stronger than him out there the whole time" which is what a lot of shows do, but would be ridiculous here


Wasn't that what the leader of the generation of miracles was introduce for?
He probably will be powerful as fuck. Maybe not on pure one on one but he will have a way that will make him even more powerful than Aomine.
The blond guy last time almost reached Aomine levels too and he supposedly has the most room for improvement so he could also be as good next time they play him.

Also lets not forget that there are 5 players so even if Kagami is good enough to take a generation of miracles opponent, what will happen when there are two or three players with that ability? The team where his childhood friend is has that purple hair giant and his friend that must also be awesome. So they will have two powerful players against one.

Oh shet :D

But to be fair, I've watched a lot of NBA games where some of the star players enters the zone. I don't think it's necessarily called "the zone" tho. But yeah, those types of concentration and shit exist. There's no need to call it zone zone zone every now and then though =D


I think everyone can get in the zone(well not with cool lighting effect though, lol) except if you suck at the game so much or your opponent is so much stronger that your zone isn't even that dangerous to him.
For example if a guy like me plays with NBA players my zone won't even make them sweat cause my abilities are so far from their own that my 100% isn't even 50% for them.
But if i play with some friends then it will give me results.

Although that is something that just happens instead of being able to switch it on.
You just go to play and for some reason you feel more concentrated seeing the court more clearly and it seems everything you do comes out right. Is just something that happens when you are having a really good day and your factions work better.

Are you sure this is Aomine's true power ? xDD Don't try to pull up something like... I'm an even better Aomine later in the series... he was already awesome as shit !! And his zone made him even more badass ! totally overpowered ! xDD


Now you are just predicting your future complains because you know he can get even better since the dude hardly even trained.

Aomine's zone flare wear out so fast, for me at least. I want Aomine's play style from the first season but it seems like I won't get it here. Kagami entering zone was pretty badass though.

To me Aomine isn't awesome, he's just full off bullshit that makes him OP as hell. I don't like how this anime is becoming more shounen than sports compared to how it was in S1. First with the vanishing drive, aomine pulling off more ridiculous shots/moves than he did in S1, the whole Overflow thing >,> and now the Zone.....but in the end I'm probably in the minority here so not like it really matters, just hoping the rest of the matches aren't this ridiculous : /

The fact that at the end of the episode Kagami has entered the zone is crazy. This battle between him and Aomine I believe is the best battle between characters in this entire series. I still don't know who I want to win.
