| Nice match, Murasakibara also manadged to enter the zone but it was too late to change something. Oww the was crying, so he kinda love basketball. 9/10 from me and waiting for a new season to see Seirin vs Akashi's team. |
Torrible said: The explanation about the Mirage Shot is so better in the anime. It was so confusing in the manga scanlations. Essentially the 2nd release is higher than the 1st release. The first release is a feint made when Himuro is low and his opponent is high. The 2nd release is normally made when Himuro is at the apex and his opponent starts falling. Kiyoshi tricked Himuro into making the first (low) release and Hyuga blocked it. It surprised me that Hyuuga was only 5 cm shorter than Himuro, which is less than the difference in height between Himuro and Kagami (7 cm). |

How OP would Midorima be if he learns the mirage shot? With his height, even the first release would be hard to block. |
| Well that was a good watch, not as good as the first season but still entertaining. The animation was great as usual though the ost took a step back compared to how good it was in the first season which really got you pumped up while watching a game. One thing that I really didn't like about this season was how it starting getting a bit ridiculous with the "powers"/skills these guys have such as the Misdirection Overflow and how a player getting in the zone in the anime is like if they were to go into super saiyan mode and be able to do all sorts of crazy shit. Another thing, though small I suppose, that bugged me was how they kept naming everything they did as they do in regular shounen anime (like when Kiyoshi grabs the ball with one hand they call it Vice Claw). Also thought the shining eyes while players were in "the zone" wasn't really necessary but oh well, whatever makes the series look more "cool" I suppose. In the end it was still a good season, just thought some of these changes/additions weren't really needed. Looking forward to watching the rest of the games in S3. 8/10. |
 |
| I honestly was losing a bit of hope after the last couple of episodes, but this fucking episode right here somehow got me back on edge. Absolutely love this season over season 1. Overall I'd give it an 8.5/10, but my enjoyment was at least 9.5/10. |
| The epicness was overload in this season from the Touou and Yosen match. My favourite was still the Touou match though. Thought some of the special effects and skills were overdone, but I really enjoyed this one nevertheless. 8/10 from me. |
| This anime slowly crept into my heart and now it does not want to leave anymore. This last ep had enough suspense to give the second season a nice finale. If the producers can keep the quality this high, sign me up for season 3. 10/10 from me. I don't think it deserves any less. |
| oh man, I ALREADY MISS KUROKO. ㅠ.ㅠ and EVERYONE. hope there's a season three! there better be. wanna know how Akashi plays ^^ OMG i want to see the NG Shuu's of this season!! |

| Goosebunps and Epic at the same OMG!!! I can't belive Murasakichi went into the Zone 0_____0 Seeing him cry brought me to tears T__T Love OST throughout. OP and ED songs SEASON 3 NOW!! PLEASE T__T |
| Nice game. Now Akashi is the final boss ^_^ Season 3, "Are we there yet? No!!! S4, S5 , S6 .... (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻) |

| I'm gonna miss this series for sure. Hopefully they'll begin the 3rd season at the end of this year. Can't wait to see the animated version of the semifinals! It's gonna be so awesome D: |
| Awesome! I love this anime so much! Best sport anime ever! The battle was amazing, even Yosen would ve won .. if marasakibara just would have more power for 1 second, but it was too late. The team, which loves basketball more, wins. Seirin! I also have no problem with waiting for season 3. I was actually scarred, that there wont be a third season, but for me, it looks really good that a third season will come. Can't wait to see the battle vs Kagami in Zone and Kise Ryouta copying him and maybe also getting in the zone :) 8+/10 some how i liked the first season more. Maybe because of the ost. 1. season got a 9/10 from me. |
 |
| I like how the tall guy (damn already forgot his name) was in the Zone for like one block then got shut off by Kuroko in the end, lol. It's definitely much more amusing to see Kuroko finally learning how to shoot. I couldn't give the first season a 9 because there was a lot of suspension of belief and it wasn't entertaining to have a main character who can't even do the most basic thing in the game (make a jumper). Now that the characters have developed to such a degree, the unpredictableness makes the games much more fun to watch. I marathoned this show in like 2 days which is pretty ridiculous. The animation in the Aomine/Kagami matchup was beautiful. So much feels. 9/10 |
| For those who are unhappy with how the match ended (*cough* Kuroko's block), here's an alternate ending: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0b1qj7_OWU Edited it in a rush. Don't expect anything great or extended. |

| Good season but I enjoyed season 1 way more then season 2. Murasakibara got in the zone but did nothing?! I know this is shounen and Seirin is gonna pull a win but come on. Hell the alternate ending Torrible made was better than what we got. This season really missed a non Seirin match like the Kise vs Aomine game sigh. I still give this season 8/10, the first season was a 9/10 for me. |

| This anime is too great. All this time waiting to start and then it's over after 1 week :O I expected to see more of Akashi this season though. He's still a complete mystery, besides giving us a very bad first impression by almost cutting Kagami's face off... Overall this season was awesome, but slightly less so than S1. 9/10 At least they gave some redemption for Murasakibara in the end. The fact that he got into the zone means there's hope for him after all...(but I still don't like him lol) |

| Nc 10/10. Waiting for S3. |
| Let justice be done, though the heavens fall. |
| Oh my god. All those epic matches and the OST was always at the perfect time. Fucking loved this. I actually got teary-eyed when Kuroko slapped the ball away from Murasakibara! 10/10 for now, might drop it to 9 if I see a superior third season. |
| Oh God. 06:13 Hyuga's face. Laughed for a full minute at that. http://i.imgur.com/MNkgH1i.png |
"Komugi, are you there?" |
| I love KNB so much that when I caught up to where the episodes were at (sometime mid season 2) I just had to read the manga, and even though I knew what was gonna happen it didn't take away from watching the new episodes every week, I'm so disappointed that we have to wait for a new season!!! I can't wait to see Akashi in action tho omg Legendary anime |
| Loved the surprise add-on to kagami zone... A pity that Atsushi didn't expand further on his Zone. Hope to see more of him in Zone. |

| For a moment, I started cheering for Murasaki. Meteor jam is cool as hell! Here comes Kuroko, yeah! Man, awesome finale to an awesome season of an awesome anime! This anime actually taught me a few good things which I had almost forgotten. Atsushi is among my top 5 now along with Kuroko, Hyuuga, Riko, Momoi. Acts arrogant and prideful but is such a kid xD Such a awesome character. Riko and Hyuuga are still my most favs. though; Also Kuroko. Lol, Teppei sure knows how to provoke Atsushi, directly and indirectly both xD Couldn''t get the hype about Akashi, seems like a very overrated character... or maybe he just ain't of my preference 9/10 |
 |
| Wow, Murasakibara actually looked hot at the scene when he went into the zone LOL 3 men fighting over a ball HAHAHA it was kinda funny Kippei is amazing, i tear up everytime i see him giving his best for the team ;_; Meteor Jam, KAGAMI, are you even human?! OMG KUROKO YOU'RE AMAZINGGGGGGGGG *squeals* awwww murasakibara ;_; ;_; LOVED THE ED, totally looking forward to the next 2 matches. KISE AND MIDORIMA <3 <3 <3 |
| Murasakibara enter the zone too late. Didn't expect Kuroko to bloack him. I assume zone Murasakibara can beat zone Kagami defense one one one since Kagami need Kiyoshi help to block Murasakibara. Meteor jam remind me of Dwight Howard dunk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCQkkWn3sKo Good ending. 10/10 Kagami really shine a lot in season 2. Look forward for season 3.Hope to see Kuroko go into zone as well. After all the title of this show is 'Kuroko' no Basket. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| This is the most ridiculous shows I have ever watched but I still like it. I really am hoping for a Season 3 because I would really like to see Shutoku vs Rakuzan |
| allo |
| Pretty solid, though I'm not the biggest fan of the format. Building up all these different guys as Gods and having Kuroko's team beat the odds and gauntlet through them is a little boring imo. Would have preferred far more GoM v GoM matches (not Kuroko, he's my fav character, but antagonist vs antagonist is more interesting, even in a sports anime were the antagonists aren't really evil). Aomine vs Akashi would have been the most interesting given how both were built up to hell. I guess Midorima vs Akashi will be fine though, looking forward to S3 for that. 7/10. |
| Murasakibara is really ugly when he cries. http://i.imgur.com/gi9LWyP.png?1 Kuroko still remains the most adorable thing ever! http://i.imgur.com/wn9VmT4.png?1 If there is a 3rd season, I probably won't watch it unless the step their game back up with the animation and OST. I didn't enjoy this season as much as the 1st. 7/10 Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| This episode was absolutely amazing! When the OST dropped when Kyoshi came back it was epic! When Kagami slammed the ball in with the meteor jam it was epic! And then when Kuroko blocked Murasakibara it was just perfect. Best ending since Seirin vs Shutoku 10/10 This is also the first episode where I really liked Murasakibara as a character. I couldn't stand his attitude but it's clear now that, even if he doesn't realize it, he really does love basketball. Can't wait for next season! |
| i see haizaki shougo~~~ |
| It was a nice watch, personally enjoyed the aomine vs kagami much more. Bit weird with all that zone action it really just felt one sided. |
 |
Zhho said: Aww. I will miss watching Kuroko no Basket every week. Hopefully there will be Season 3. Love the songs used in this episode. Well Done Seirin! :D Oh they well have another season I am ready for the next season already lol |
S2 was beautiful. :D |
| How can one not like Kuroko no Basket? I mean seriously, how? This was a great 2nd season and though I personally preferred the Aomine match I think this one was good too, I just wished they would've focussed a bit more on Tatsuya because this was pretty much all Murasikabara focus but very good nontheless. I was a bit surprised they cut it off like that, I at least expected them to show Kagami meeting with Tatsuya even if it was in the form of a still shot or an ending card or something? Anyway I'm already waiting for a 3rd season, I don't know through how many chapters the 2nd season burned but let's hope there'll be enough material for the 3rd season soon :) |
| aww they cut the BL short. overkill in insert songs but GGWP |

| A great sequel, loved almost every aspect of it! the characters, music, enjoyed this so much. Loved s2, more concrete, longer, well developed and epic games. Loved the vehement and emphatic ambiance during every game. Zone was fun and epic to watch as well! hope it continues ^.^ |
| Kiyoshi is back for the final game-changing minute! I've been anticipating his return. The last episode of the season surely doesn't disappoint. The entire ep, particularly the second half, was riveting with the OST, slick animation and fantastic voice acting. And a great way to end the season with Kagami pursuing Himuro, with help from Kuroko :) |
| FINALLY got to watch last two episodes after a long break! Match with Yosen certainly wasn't my favourite, actually felt rather weak compared to ones with Kirisaki and Touou. Even quality wasn't as epic, too bad. Still, this season was as good as the first one, maybe it had too many silly super powers and power ups, but I didn't hate it. Hopefully we don't have to wait too much for the third season, 8/10. |
  |
| (^Chapter 169, page 16 I think) Wow! Such an amazing episode! Too bad Murasakibara didn't really do much at the end even though he entered the Zone. Overall, I freakin' loved this series soo much!! :D There needs to be a season 3 (soon)!! |
