| Ahhhh~ been waiting ever since the anime was announced, loved the manga and I love how everything was portrayed in the anime^^ |
 |
| Not really my type of anime, but I might be able to enjoy this.. |
 |
| Amazing first episode. |
 |
| A nice start. Leave to Production I.G. for awesome animations. |
| I knew it. They were gonna end up being in the same school ( and volleyball team ) |
| I've been waiting for this like forever. Great start. I love Tobio, since the very first second he appeared in screen he was awesome. |
 |
| What a promising first episode! Seriously, I had sky high expectations of this, even though I haven't read the manga, and it lived up to them 100%! |
| The architect in this anime is very similar to KnB, as expected of P.I.G. Kageyama looks so friggin BA, loved his cape lol. I really love his character. Loved the standoff with Kageyama and the Hinata. Well it looked like Hinata's team wasn't even trying against Kageyama's team. I love their determination though, especially Hinata. The OST was good during the flashback part. This anime has a really great OST, I love it. I'm glad that Kageyama will be working with Hinata in the same team now, Kageyama looks BA but I'm sure he will get more strong later. Great first episode overall, Ookiku Furikabutte vibes. ^^ Expecting a lot of good things from this anime. |
 |
| I always get stupidly pumped up when I watch a sports anime like this. I was telling myself that a Volleyball anime is going to be weird, but the sportsmanship in this one and the animation are so drawing, looks like I'll be watching this all season! SHO CHAN SO CUTE UGH <3 |
| I can tell this is gonna be blood pumping. |
 |
| Thank you Production I.G. Glorious top-notch animation! The show definitely started with a blast, hope it stays like this. The MC is also likable, reminds me of Kagami from KnB. (Both are good jumpers :D) Dat opening. Spyair <3 |
     |
| This is good stuff. |
 |
| Some moments felt a bit cheesy, but it's a sports anime so you come to expect that. Thankfully like other sports anime it had some hype moments as well and really good animation (thank you based IG). Good start, like the dynamic of the two rivals having to work together. Hopefully this will fill the Kuroko void in a lot of people. |
| promising first episode :) |
| There is some feminine vibe to both the appearance as well as voice of the protagonist. I actually thought he was a girl and co-ed volleyball anime for 5 minutes. I am not asking for beard and mustache, but a little more masculine looks and voice would have been way cooler for a sports anime. |
| This looks good. (i didn't plan to watch it) That ending hahah they happened in the same team. Also i kinda liked the ed song. |
| This was sooo refreshing. The animation is wonderful and the characters seem promising. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| Volleyball, yeah!! First time to watch an anime about volleyball. This excites me. :D And also, it's animation is a plus!! |
| Yay, finally the animation for this is out! Haha the height difference is so noticeable xD |
 |
| The setup reminds me of Diamond no Ace a bit and of course, the 2 rivals would be on the same high school team. Good start. |
| I love the animation and because I like KnB, I think I'll like Haikyuu too. I can't wait for the next episode. |
| Nice episode, I'm excited now. I predict this will make me a sports anime fan. |
 |
| Nice. 7/10 for this episode. Haven't played volleyball in 10+ years. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Man, Production I.G is the savior of the world. Their adaptations are just GODLIKE. Omg. |
| very good. cant get enough of sports shounen |
| Cty Best mid |
| and what a quick reaction time on that miss toss.. got me pumped up |
| Cty Best mid |
| This episode was even more female oriented than the manga, lol But still nice/ |
Do pop-up headlights really endanger pedestrians that much? |
| It was pretty good. This will inspire me more to read the manga later, I didn't find the art so good. Hinata's situation at the start is very like Diamond no Ace, where he is the only good player with a makeout team of friends that doesn't really play volleyball. It will have 25 episodes... that is good. |

| This was cool! Tobio = Sasuke xD I liked Hinata Shou's determination and his love for Volleyball For him to drag his two best friends and three others to join him took a lot of energy to persuade Interesting to see one of them is more into Basketball and the other on Soccer with the Brazilian World Cup ball passing by It appears Hinata has leave them behind now with his entrance to high school and he meets his king rival Tobio Kageyama again The animation are excellent coming from I.G production |
| Very good starting here. And no superpower! (not like I dislike superpower sport though) |
 |
parfaited said: I know right the jumps are steller and i was cheering for Shoyo when he finally score this show put a big smile on my face i am pumped for more.weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Production I.G did a great job here. I know it's typical first episode fare but the animation is really nice and crisp, hope it stays consistent. Those Hinata jumps are going to be delicious to my eyes. ooh i'm excited! |
LLawlied said: I was thinking the same myself interesting that no powers are in it I kinda hope it stays that way.Very good starting here. And no superpower! (not like I dislike superpower sport though) |
| Woot, main character is nice. Orange hair is always great! |
  |
| That OP is just so amazing. I'm usually not a huge fan of sports anime except for Prince of Tennis, but God was this amazing. So pleasant to watch, great fluid animation, and an exciting atmosphere of potential for growth. Also, gotta love that vivacious rivalry. |
| MC's voice and the animation threw me off at first, but it looks like it will be a fun ride. |
 |
| Awesome! This anime is the only one this season that took my interest. |
| That was quite the opener. Incredibly promising. |
| I love it! I thought it would take the predictable route but I'm glad for the time skips. Love the MC. I was so impressed with this episode, will definitely keep tabs on it. |

| yes good |
| The realism, mood and character design reminded me of Whistle! (the title even carried an extra exclamation mark) but unlike Whistle!, I think I will actually like this. The sentimentalism didn't feel as tacked on, and the animation is pretty good. Hinata's logic: "I'm a spiker and you are a setter, so I have to defeat you to be the last one standing on the court". I was thinking that if I were him, I'd be looking to team up instead and of course they did at the end: the volleyball version of the light and shadow combination. |
| This...was AWESOME! Man I loved this!!! The animation and the OST/ the sound desgin as well were superb! And SPYAIR OP!!!!!!!!! Nico Touches the Walls ED!!!! The character designs are great! And refreshing with them eyes and especially that girl in the ED is gorgeous! Dam. Might just turn out to be my favourite of the season! |
