Kuroko's Basketball: Episode 4-6 FULL LENGTH Reaction!
Added 2022-10-26 13:00:14 +0000 UTC**SHIPPABLE HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Oh my goodness, I liked the first three episodes but these were GREAT -- especially Episode 4 and 5! The practice match against Kise's team reaches its conclusion, but it's clearly NOT the last we shall see of Kise, and I'm all for the dynamic with him, Kagami, and Kuroko!
Speaking of all for, we meet another member of the Generation of Miracles, and well...green is my favorite color, so of course, I'm excited for his character as well!
These episodes were SO much fun! I can't wait to talk about them with you all!

I'm so happy you're enjoying the series so far :) personally, episode 5 is definitely one of my favorite episodes in the series because of how wholesome it is, and seeing Kuroko, Kagami, and Kise together is just the best view to see. In the scene where Kuroko steps out of the restaurant after he eats, it shows Kise as if he knew he was there and was waiting for him; but it was played out differently in the manga. In the manga, the moment Kuroko stepped outside, Kise happened to walk past the restaurant at the same time Kuroko stepped out, and Kise was like "oh perfect timing, can we talk?" When I found out Kise was a Gemini, I had a feeling he was XD as a fellow Gemini myself, I instantly knew he was giving off that energy I am familiar with π It's great that you love Midorima already! Despite him not being my top favorite miracle, he's the one I really respect the most due to his work ethic and his rituals, as you mentioned, and that will be seen and explained later in the story *not wanting to give up too much w/o spoiling.* The reason Midorima's voice may sound familiar is that his seiyuu is Daisuke Ono (who voices Erwin in AOT, Sebastian in Black Butler, and also Masamune in Ace). Just as an FYI, for every miracle you meet, they will go down the line of who's the youngest in the bunch. So Kise is the oldest miracle in the group (born in June), Midorima is the second oldest in the GOM's (born in July), the third one you'll meet is born in August and so on *hopefully that makes senseπ .* When you were discussing the other miracles and how strong they would be, you have no idea how many years of debate there has been about who is the strongest miracle overall. So it'll be interesting to hear your thoughts on the rest of them as the series progresses! As a fun fact, Oha-asa is actually a real daily horoscope reading in Japan! *the one Midorima mentioned of how he knew his lucky item of the day was a toy frog.* Also another thing I want to mention is despite the miracles not agreeing with Kuroko going to a new school like Seirin, they all dearly respect Kuroko and his skills on the court. Kise is the miracle I'd say respects Kuroko the most, and even went out of his way to visit Kuroko personally at his school and try to recruit him to play with him once more. Also, the start of episode 6 where the first years were assigned to get the lucky bread is not filler, and it's something that happened in the manga before the prep for the inter-high. I can't wait to see your next reaction to the start of the inter-high! I can't wait :)

2022-10-31 14:09:00 +0000 UTCREALLY?! Oh yeah, I didn't think he hit him on purpose, especially with how much Kise ADORES Kuroko, hahaha! But thanks!! :D But yes, Kise is great! AHAHA, communication? IN A SPORTS ANIME?! Say what?! TJ may have made me paranoid, haha! But yeah, the question is really if Kagami won't succumb like Kise thinks he will -- I guess we shall see, eh? And oh yeah, the shipping is going to get ridiculous in this isn't it? I'm here for it! And I'm here for quirky Midorima! I just love his attitude and personality already! I do love that the second years are playing a part and we're getting high school shenanigans! I'm all about it! And yesss, already at a tournament! We wasted NO TIME! Slam Dunk, hahaha as you mentioned, took 8-9 volumes to set up what basketball even WAS -- but this? This expects you do have already read the instruction manual at least, it seems. And yessss, don't put Kuroko in a corner! What a moment! XD Thanks for the comment!

2022-10-28 00:49:10 +0000 UTCI have a feeling conspiracy-board sama may be needed by the end of the series to connect all of the ships together! <3 I also like that idea of Kuroko being "quietly" competitive; I'm excited to see that develop as we go and become more apparent! :) Sieren being passive aggressive..."PASSIVE" aggressive, eh? ;) I'll stop now. And Aquarius x Leo, eh? Hm. And KI in Kise being yellow! Ooooohhhhh, I'm so ready for more color name puns and OMG you're right -- the jersey colors DO make him look like a carrot! YES! I'm here for this! Thank you for the info and the comment! :D

2022-10-28 00:41:39 +0000 UTCOH. MY. GOSH. My brain didn't process the Amahisa x Raichi / Kise x Kuroko connection but nowwwwwww....now that's all I'm going to think about! hahahaha!! That would be interesting if Ogawa and Papa shared a VA! But yes, Kise and Midorima are so wonderful and YES! Those darn Cancers, indeed! And Kise being a Gemini makes alllll the sense! :D Thanks for the comment!

2022-10-28 00:12:56 +0000 UTC"Kuroko's Harem" ... yeah, it's like that. There are many many ships in this series, trying to map all of them would be like drawing spider web. Kuroko is a quietly competitive, petty guy. It shows more over the series, but even in these last six episodes, you can start to see it. He doesn't like to be underestimated, and even though he knows sports isn't all about winning, he likes to win, or more doesn't like going down without a fight. All of Serin is just passive agressive. Kuroko is an Aquarius, and Kagami is a Leo. You pointed out that the "midori" in Midorima is green, but the "ki" in Kise means yellow. This is how this goes. Also we see a hint of the Shutoku team's jerseys and that they have orange. So if you see people calling Midorima a carrot, that is why.

2022-10-27 04:46:57 +0000 UTCFirst off, /thank you/! Out of all the Kuroko reactions I've seen, you might be the first to realize that Kise hitting Kuroko was an accident. (Almost?) everyone else thought that he did that on purpose, and were upset with him. I guess it takes a former player to recognize it. :D Whether paired or not, I adore Kise. He wears his emotions on his sleeve. And between him and Kuroko and Kagami, I'm glad that this series so far hasn't done the stereotypical and cliche "teenage boys don't emote" route. Imagine talking through your problems with people... There's a certain catcher and pitcher pair who could definitely use that advice. :P Still, that was a rather foreboding warning that Kise gave to Kuroko about Kagami... But the way they handled those bullies together, OT3 much? XD We're going to need an admiral for this fleet, LOL! As for our other Miracle, I'm really glad that you like Midorima. He's my personal favorite from the Miracles (and maybe the series?); he's so quirky. And making his classmate drive him in a bicycle cart; it's too much! And as for Seirin, it's good to see that the second-years aren't going to be "overshadowed" by Kagami and Kuroko. They're needed just as much. And their antics are just top notch; "the steak is steakalicious" indeed. Also, give me more school life side story, please! That's one thing I wish AotD had had. Lastly, six episodes in and we're already in an official tournament. This series is so fast-paced! It also doesn't give much in the way of teaching you basketball. I guess you're expected to come in with some knowledge -like-having-read-Slam-Dunk-. I don't know if inviting foreign players is a real or "recent" thing (the manga started in 2008 and the anime in 2012), but it certainly makes things interesting. Papa made a mistake, though, calling Kuroko a little boy. XD That line was fantastic!

2022-10-27 04:19:46 +0000 UTCI'm just realizing now how hilarious it is that Kise (Amahisas VA) is lowkey obsessed with Kuroko (Raichis VA) π€£ it continues Also I dunno if it's the same VA but this big dude at the end sounds so much like Ogawa and has such a similar mentality with playing too lol I really do like Kise a lot. I think he's such a cool character. Mr Green here is pretty funny too. These damn cancers you know π
