Oh, great, more shirtless Tobi. Yes please. (Hyou doing the tongue thing practically while watching him - wonder how many fans he's the perfect self insert for in that moment? xD)

Little slow, but very nicely setting up the atmosphere and scene for this match. Could pretty much feel like I was right there too. The teachers complaining about the heat and lack of air though... like, come on. They aren't even the ones who have to play.

The rest of this anime would probably dedicate to this match, a full whole nine episodes for this match alone. Let's see if it can keep the exciting level high, but the tension in this match is real, (a sexual tension too, I want to do a "one on one" match with Tobi/Kite, with me being on him)

My prediction, the team will lose but teachers will be impressed and the club can continue.

A nice set-up episode, it seems like all the tension is coalescing to this moment. Can't wait.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

Not very interesting but at least the match is finally starting, we'll see in the next episode but I hope it will be good, they definitely need to win this time.

Kind of an elongated set up episode. Showing our two teams whom are about to face off getting psyched up before the match. A collection of small scenes with everyone preparing. The teacher lounge scene with the Principal asking the other teachers to come was nice. Sora teaching Nabe how to shoot threes like a little kid. It's kinda weird that Kuzu is wearing their away uniforms, but the black is badass. Made me laugh with how both Tobi and Hyou were both late for their teams. That's a matchup I'm looking forward to seeing. Good to know that even with Taiei playing their sophomores that they're taking the game seriously, wanting both teams to gain something from it. Kuzu is gonna have to dig deep if they maybe wanna finally win a game.

Finally its happening, the 41 weeks of development and backstory is all worth the wait (I hope). I can't wait to see how much Kuzu High has developed.

With nine episodes left the practice match between Kuzu and Taiei has begun. Kuzu starts the game without Tobi, but Hyou was late. I'm thinking he overslept from practicing too hard.

I am sorry but I continue to believe that this anime adaptaiton has been story-boarded by drunk people. I mean, I understand hyping up things and prefer to end that episode here, but then why all that rush of 106 pages for each of the last two episodes for this time adaptating...50? (I repeat that the average at the beginning was around 60).

Anyway, I am afraid for the remaining 9 episodes.

On another end, seeing/understanding the lyrics of the opening make me appreciate it more. And also, I am happy that they presented the Taiei players this time, even though we should repeat again that Fuwa is the only Freshman in that roster.

Ngl I'm quite excited for this match after today's episode, this was a nice build up episode for the match.

As usual everyone's looking down on sora XD, too bad they are gonna be surprised real soon.

Tension rose up, I kind felt it in my bones

I believe the next 8 episodes will be consecrated to this last match, with 2 episodes per quarter time. This is actually the last chance to give us - the viewers - an exceptional or epic last memory. Go for it Kuzu High !

The match is going to start but the fact I’ve lost interest in this series is killing all of my hype. I’m sad about that, I really liked this series at the start.

Hmmm. Tension? Yes! Sexual? Hmmmm... Hyou x Tobi? YESSS! That lip-licking while observing Tobi YESSS! *drool*



BTW. I just couldn't unsee this but isn't it a Slam Dunk reference?? I'm pretty sure Sakuragi Hanamichi must have said something similar along those lines. I read/watched Slam Dunk a while ago so I cannot exactly remember if it was exactly like this though. Anyone?

That is the name of one of the guys who came to the mixer/karaoké in the earring episode. Actually, if you re-watch episode 40, you should see that his name is mentionned during the swimming pool scene with Madoka.

I always liked how this series handles build-up episodes before important matches and this one was no exception. Pretty nice set-up for what's to come though it's such a shame it will be quickly forgotten once the match starts considering how bad the studio is with pacing and stuff. Guess this will be another 7/8 episodes-long match, right?

Anyways, still looking forward to seeing how much Kuzu has improved. Only expectation for this match: Momoharu doing a badass dunk and becoming the captain this team needs.

The build up was indeed done nicely, really looking forward to this match.

Omg that Takahashi & Chiba scene. I have so much respect for Chiba. He’s the man. What a huge teddy bear. I hope the manga goes more into Kojima, Takahashi & China’s friendship. They seem like such solid guys.

Those black uniforms!!!!! ♡_____♡

I also almost exploded at the end when Tobi said I’ll be over there quickly. Just wait. HNNNNNNGGGGGGG

And lol @ that little detail of Shiraishi holding down Hyou while they were bowing. Cute♡







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there

I'm pretty hyped about this match. Seeing that there are 9 episodes left and previous matches covered a lot of eps, I guess this will be the last match for this season. The comeback of their team better be grandiose after watching 41 episodes of their development and even their lowest point.

Can’t believe Madoka chose to go on a date with a random playboy nobody instead of support her friends.
