I can't wait to watch this upcoming match! Sucks I have to wait a few months, though. They're really hyping the setter up, claiming he's the best, I'm excitef to see what he can do.

Like Miya Atsuma is new Oikawa Tooru.

They are nothing alike beyond sharing some personality traits, whom he also shares with Kageyama when he's in king/dick mode. In fact he's a more popular and adjusted Kageyama more than anything.

To begin with, Atsumo doesn't have an inferior complex, which defined a lot of Oikawa's interactions with Kageyama.

The Inarizaki High fans were so obnoxious!!! I can't believe they would be so unsportsmanlike as to boo of the other team like that... hated them

Tanaka was so cute as a child and mad respect to him for being a stand-up guy for the tall girl who was having a hard time

I'm really looking forward to the next season :)

It's kageyama vs a really strong setter, and then Hinata vs some really strong guy previewed from the start but not shown until later.

Miya Atsumu make his teammate better than they are, and he's like an idol, and he has a really strong serve, don't know about you but that remind me a lot of Oikawa.
Hoshiumi is really good at everything. And Hinata kind of pick a fight with him, just like with Ushiwaka.

They could have introduced strong players but differently.


Yes, Atsumu has some similarities to Oikawa. But you'll see that he's a great character of his own. He is the number 1 high school Setter, so of course he is going to have a rivalry with Kageyama. These are the kinds of players he will have to contest with now. He's just that good. What you're critizing here are basic concepts of the series. I don't really get your point. A sports series needs rivalries. And of course players are going to have rivalries with players similar to them.

Same for Hoshiumi. He is a completely different player and person than Ushiwaka. And Hinata didn't pick a fight with him btw. He admires him greatly because he showed him how great of a player someone as short him can become. But when two players this short meet, there's going to be some kind of competitive spirit. These two rivalries are different than the ones between Kageyama and Oikawa and between Hinata and Ushiwaka and you'll see that soon enough.

Maybe their playstyle and character are different. But for now I can't help but notice that the way Miya and Hoshiumi are introduced is really similar to Oikawa and Ushiwaka.

Great last episode, should've been the first episode of the next season, slightly underwhelming season overall, a training arc and first match of the tournament, not much to go on. 7.

The introduction of Inarizaki's boys really hyped me!! I need July to come soon, I feel the next part of the season it will be great!

I didn't enjoy this first part as the previous seasons of the anime - especially the third, which was my favorite - but in the last episodes it really brought back the powerful, exciting atmosphere of the past.
I also, eventually, got used to the new artstyle - took me a while...
I give 8/10 to this part of the season because I know they could have done a better animation for the first episodes, but the story is very good as always, so I'm waiting for big Things to come ❤️❤️
We'll see

Kageyama calling Hinata tangerine was so cute ngl and I was shook with the twin reveal. Ugh I wish they didn’t split this season bc cutting the game like that was just brutal. The studio executed the training/development part well so I have no complaints. Took me a little bit to get used to the new character designs but it don’t even look bad, y’all complaining are just extra. Besides, kageyama’s design def improved and I’m here for that. This wait is going to be painful ugh

WTF RYUU?

Damn, watching pre-tournament always makes me nervous. How tf did Hinata didn't feel anything at all. XD

Fuck, I love this anime. I thought final episode is going to be a long filler until the beginning of their fight. But they actually start it at the final episode THE MADMAN.

Darn, seeing Hinata's jump gives me adrenaline. Fucking hell, why did they do this at the final episode. Too bad Hinata fail that spike. XD

Good episode but that ending, that ending! Such cliffhanger! I am awaiting for the next season. Btw, they look nice in orange. Cute oranges haha.

And I wish Tanaka would have more courage to express his feelings. He deserves a nice girl. All Karasuno deserve some love but they are too focused on the game. They should since they are facing such a powerhouse.

Hinata getting excited about facing both top teams was amazing. He and Kageyama are hilariously confident.

At first I was really confused why Hinata didn't hit the ball. That part had me in tears lol

I'm really looking forward to seeing this match when the next part of the season returns.

Hinata is definitely trying out his jump that we missed out on a few episodes ago when he was told to go home. (Training at school with Kageyama)
I can't believe their fans were actually booing just to get an advantage, kinda silly to try to win like that.

Looking forward to the second half of this season, "only" 2 and a half months left.

This season didn't get me as pumped as other seasons but I really enjoyed seeing Hinata's improvements, learning new stuff from just being a ball boy.

Hinata forgetting to spike after making that sick jump was the highlight of the episode.
Gotta admit, the enemy setter silencing the marching band really was cool, although allowing a whole band up there and booing during an official match like this seems like a really shitty thing to do.

I agree with most people that this season was indeed a bit disappointing. I don't have problem with character development and traning arcs (I loved the previous one with Nekomata, Bokuto's team and so on), but those only feel meaningful if they actually do learn new skills. I feel like apart from Hinata being more aware of his surrounding and jumping higher once, we didn't really need all that... Kageyama's little arc went nowhere, and just felt like a retread of his old stuff. His camp was just there to show the new rivals. At least Hinata's went somewhere.
I'm not sure I'm happy with with the animation changes either. I get that it tries to resemble the manga style more (which I think already looks bad, but maybe that's just me), but I much prefered characters and emotions looking more realistic, compared to what we saw now. Still, it's fine in the most important moments, so I guess we'll just have to live with that.

I'm gonna have to give this an 8/10, compared to the 9s of the previous seasons, cause I still enjoyed it a lot, but it felt a bit lackluster. Hopefully the next one will make up for it since most of it is going to be this match or maybe another one I guess.

Finally, I'll be able to watch the match between Atsumu and Kageyama. Ever since the All-Japan training, I feel that he is a potential villain who will rain on everyone's parade, not to mention his unceremonious comment to Kageyama about being a goody-two-shoes.

It only sucks that it's open-ended. HAHA. I'll be back for more though.

I am worried... the chances that our guys have against this #2 Team in the country do not look good. And, since this show is shooting for realism, I can't help thinking they are going to lose--not by a large margin, but come on, they are the underdogs.

Ryousuke is fired up and really lucky with that girl.
And all of the team is fired up even the cheers with that high quality marching band stuff on the Iranarizaki.
Surely that team rival's or even greater than Shiratorizawa as an elite team.
Great season even though the animation is kinda lame sometimes.

Not sure how I feel about their opposing team. The fans seem terrible which I guess is out of their control. Not sure how I'm feeling about the new jerseys either but seeing Nishinoya in the black one is cute. Probably not my favorite season so far but I still enjoyed it.

Decent "first half of a season", lack of important matches hurts it a lot though, and it feels like it was just one long ass of a prologue to the upcoming match, though I'm definitely hyped for it.

Second half of this season has all the potential to be fantastic. Let's wait and see.

Just hope it won't end up like Slam Dunk when they defeated the best team in the nationals in second season then got destroyed in third match due to exhaustion and fatigue.

As for rating this, I'll give it 7/10.

Yoo why are they cutting costs on serve animation. I was sooooo excited to see what kind of animation atsumu's serve will get but i was left disappointed... not just serve animation small things like the moment of contact during spiking or blocking arent shown either. These may be small things but i and i think most of you guys were looking forward to it as well

Re-watched the ep before starting the new season and loved it just as much.

Inarizaki's fans were just as annoying & disgusting with their actions, really, that should be outlawed. Is it allowed in reality?

And Hinata got so excited about his jump that he forgot to hit the ball XD
Honestly, he gets me laughing every time XDXDXD
