Quite the opposite, actually. The quality of the fight scene in particular was some of the worst I've seen in the series so far. Kuroko was so thin and stocky there, and the action was far too slow. Way too many stills combined with awkward body movements, sometimes in semi-slow motion as well.

Frankly, this entire episode was slow. I found myself fighting the urge to simply skip forward more than once, which is a first for this series. Lines which were drawn or even said in slowmotion at times felt like they were simply done so to fill screentime. The Saten drama was overdone, way too much time spend on the same thing a couple of times in a row, which destroyed the very effect it aimed to achieve.

A below average episode. Well, I suppose every anime has at least two or three of these.

5/10
