Kuroko no Basuke

It 's very cathartic.

lol at chapter 252's title.

I know this is mostly a manga thread, but I feel compelled to comment that the anime has had some really nice animation in the last few episodes especially, though it does good on average as well. Exactly what you'd expect from Production I.G.

It's a pleasure to watch just for that.

Catching up with the manga for now (ch. 255) while most of the anime I'm watching are all ending...

New chapter out,

Oh yeah Hyuuga's back in the game!

Chapter 260: Well, crap.

It's quite obvious that it has to happen.

Chapter 263: Hot damn Kuroko defeats the Emperor Eye!

That's actually a neat trick. predict what your teammates will do, then bank on Akashi doing the opposite.

I know Kuroko employs some smarts and extensive people watching, but did they foreshadow this in any extended form earlier? I can't remember if this is the first time Kuroko went Sherlock on Kagami.

Thanks fillerdude for finally posting. I hate to double-post (again), even with the considerable time gap. lol

Kuroko always had to read his teammates' moves in order to make his passes effective.

264 is out.

HOLY SHIT.

Now THIS is cathartic.

265 is out.

"I'm waiting for another ass-pull."

"Prediction: He also opens the 2nd door. Seirin gets into the zone. Rakuzan gets into the zone. Seirin's bench gets into the zone. Rakuzan's bench gets into the zone. The crowd gets into the zone. Everybody gets into the zone."

More likely that Kagami enters that second door in the Zone, and that Akashi reverts to his original persona with his other game-breaking ability. Really dull way for things to go, though. The match-ups with the Generals were much better.

New chapter out. Haven't read it yet, too sleepy and tired to do so (I went to Toycon earlier).

It's quite interesting that non-psycho Akashi was staying dormant by choice.

267 is out and what happened was in the prediction I quoted in an earlier post.

This is just... It was expected, but I don't really like it.

So, after about a couple of year, I picked up the manga again. I started from volume 13, the second Tohoh vs Seirin (but we know it's mostly Aomine vs Kagami), and ended up reading all the way to volume 25, which is the latest volume released here.

Oh man, volume 13~16 was just awesome. Aomine VS Kagami Zone battle was far more exciting than most fights in Fighting Series. Unfortunately, though, matches after that wasn’t nearly as exciting.

Now, I guess it's time for the scanlations, which seems to cover Rakuzan match. Say, how many chapters has the match been going?

By the way, you know how Murasakibara dunks, wind blowing and everything? When I saw it animated, I laughed like 5 minutes straight.◊

It just looks so silly!

I'm not really counting, but maybe at least 12 chapters already for Rakuzan-Seirin?

LOL that prediction I quoted in an earlier post was spot-on again (regarding the crowd) LOLOLOLOLOL

Uh, fillerdude? wearingglasses? d Roy? Anybody there?

lol

Anyway.

The 2nd door...there was somebody there, apparently the gatekeeper that you have to overcome... but it's actually Kuroko. He'll only be able to open the door if you'll get to the next level FOR THE TEAM...WITH Kuroko.

I don't even get how it works, and am currently unwilling to process it.

there's actually no second door. For the player "in the zone" to get to the second level, he has to recognize that rather than making plays FOR the team, he makes plays WITH the team. And Kuroko is the ultimate teammate, and Seirin is the ultimate "teamwork" team. Hence why he's the one at the door, and they're the ones behind it. That's why Aomine finally realized why he could never "open" that second door; he shunned "Kuroko no Basuke", the basketball which Kuroko plays...
