Nice shirt. I mean seriously, it's a nice representation of team spirit. Looks like more practice this episode and the show is at the half way mark. And importantly, I feel like some of these guys really want to show what they've been training for.
Some of the gameplay in this episode's match already got intense.
I know immediately the opponent team will lose because they show one key member injured, from storytelling point of view the author just give an excuse/reason for them to lose.
Which is too bad because their captain is handsome and the injured player is maybe captain's boyfriend.
Hopefully now with the tournament underway we'll start seeing more action, just please don't be so drawn out like the game vs Kitasumi High it got so boring.
I wasn't particularly fond of the previous opening, but I liked this one.
Since in the opening says Kuzu vs Shinjo, maybe this whole cour is only against them (I hope it's not)?
Tobi so cool, and as the only who's actually experienced, he makes his name. But I wan't to see Mokichi playing, ffs. Maybe Yasuhara won't be able to not get nervous? Or he will be put because they need his height/hook shot?
Anyways, is looking good. I'm hyped.
The animation in the new OP is kinda lazy, just a bunch of still frames, but I kinda like their artistic style.
I think they captured the atmosphere of the first game pretty well. The feeling of nervousness and overwhelming presence of the enemy, those are perfectly fit for a first-timer.
We are half through the series and the road to inter-high starts with Sora's team participating in their first tournament. Their new jerseys and t-shirts looked badass. The team is off to a rough start being nervous in their first tournament, but Kite was able to snap them out of it.
I like the new OP as it captures the tournament arc. It might take me awhile to get used to the new ED because it is sung by the voice actor for Kaname.
That solo play was pretty sick, it's got me hyped for the next ep.
It really feels like the anime is starting from here, honestly. I'm really excited.
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?
We have new OP and ED!
nice! Tobi so badass! he has shaken of the nervous ones on the entire team!
pretty sure they can beat that opposing team...hehehe!
5/5.
When you get hyped up before the game starts thinking it might be an action packed episode, then all they do is just talk and speak their minds out while on the court. What a bummer. Anyway, the new OP looks cool
Let the tournament begin. Seems like Kite isn't nervous at all compared to the rest of the team. They put Mokichi on the bench, since he's basically Tacko Fall.
what a great ep. !!! Tobi is so cool, im so glad he is a part of the Kuzuryū.
I'm looking forward to the next ep.
Since it's 50 ep, im trying to keep myself away from the manga.
New opening is great again. Like the song and visuals.
Was a nice set up episode and start of the match. Everyone not being able to sleep and the rivaling teams making a short appearance was funny. My man Kite was fire.
But no matter who's going to lose, probably gonna be sad.
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
OP3 & ED3 watercolour visuals are so pretty & they match other & so much hype! What a far cry from the amount of dead stills this anime uses hahaha
ED by Mamo wooooo
Omg when they all turned up early to practice. I can’t get enough of Momoharu & his glasses. And when Nao bumped into Tobi looooool & Kaname’s “𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣” lmaooooooo I love this bunch
Tobi is THE man!!!!!!
Also, damn Takashi. He’s just like Sousuke from Free, appearing & trying steal everyone’s heart.
ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there
