Lol, that was fun. Hinata's blush was priceless.

Well actually in fact, Hinata getting intimidated was also priceless. The match and practice was okay I guess. Some of the spikes reminded me of the way the manga. I hope the series delivers more epic spikes soon. Those are definitely memorable imo.

lol~ captain vs. manager says the same thing, but the reaction is different! Though the nervousness + believing what that enemy said making it worse. It was that ex-king's anger woke the main guy up from nervousness eventually.

Enemy's coach understands their teamplay and that guy's change, it seems. The "coach" and vice talk makes me reminds of KAmiYU (because of the seiyuus). They are winning, but it seems like the enemy team still has one more person who came late. B...big king??

Another great episode of Haikyuu! Hinata is such a nervous wreck right before the match. Turnip-kun made him even more nervous. It was funny when Hinata headshotted Kageyama though. xD Thank goodness Hinata was able to calm down in the second set. Karasuno were able to make a comeback. Tanaka is also really funny. Such a cool character. Gotta love Kageyama's 'creepy accurate' setting and Hinata's awesome jumping and spikes. :) Seijo's setter Oikawa appears and Kageyama apparently knows him. Awwwww sheeeet, can't wait for next episode. :D

And also Tanaka's face. That creepy face near the gym was absolutely priceless.

Hinata settled down and they win the 2nd set.

I loved the episode, but I feel like they're unnecessarily stretching out the manga so they can have some sort of 'cliffhanger' at the end of the episode. 4/5

The way Kageyama tries to hide his anger is hilarious. Tsukishima and Tanaka laughing at him when Hinata served the ball into the back of his head was even funnier. The first two sets were fast, but they were still enjoyable. The final set should be pretty interesting with that new setter.

Hinata going to the bathroom, his panics even affected the referee at his head.
The manager trying to help xD
Tanaka is good at adding pressure and motivation!
Nothing scarier than hitting Kageyama on the back of the head xD
Glad they managed to win one set, but then the enemy's main setter comes in...

Poor Hinata just can't get used to the expectations and pressure, and Kageyama is going to meet some of his former teammates.

Kiyoko wins!!! The final blow has been delivered and Hinata is ouuuuut!!!

Hahahaha, Hinata even made the referee fall from his seat XD.

Kageyama boooom headshot!

Daaaaaaamn Kageyama was really scary when he motivated Hinata to stop being scared and out of the game.

I was actually thinking that the other team didn't have any players that stood out lol, and now a strong one appears.

The episodes feel like they end way too fast in my opinion.

I love hearing spyair right in the morning. And I can't believe they wasted a whole set because of Hinata. Sigh. Oh well, they at least won the second set, but who is this new setter. He looks so cool.

Hahaha, I burst out laughing when I was reading this part of the manga. Good thing, the anime did not disappoint me, it's still funny as the manga! XD

The end which the new setter comes seems a little off. It would have more impact if after the scene Oikawa looks at in front, they showed Kageyama's shocked face (much more shocked than the first shock he did after seeing Oikawa. Lol.) so that we would see clearly how they are related. :)

Tanaka = best encouragement. Even if he does it just to be called senpai ahaha.

The pacing might be inconsistent during the match, I don't particularly mind it though since it's kind of fun match at the moment.
I wonder how they will handle a real match when they're in their snazzy uniforms and everything.

Lots of fun this episode :D

The part when Tanaka, Kageyama and Tsukishima were scaring them with the crows flying behind them was so intimidating. They looked like evil villains BA! And dem Tanaka faces XD

Lol'd at how they were trying to get Hinata and it kept backfiring, even using Kiyoko XD Hinata blew up hahaha

It needed Hinata to hit Tobio's head and Tanaka-senpai's speech (LOL) to make him better. But DAMN!! DAT Kageyama face when he was telling Hinata why the hell are u scared? Do u think they're scarier than me after u hit my head? XDXD His face and tone of voice was hilariously creepy hahaha

I NEED A GIF!! XD

Tsukki and Kageyama always fighting is so lol XD

And gotta love their reactions when Tobio+Hinata combo commenced :D BA!!

Oikawa is here!! Shit is gonna get real.

Love Tanaka and Tsukishima at the 1st part intimidating that two Aoba students. Was a little annoyed by Hinata's nervousness at first but good thing he finally recovered (but that crash to the referee is awesome, haha).

And wow, Kageyama is really a changed man. Happy to see that his ex- teammates were surprised at it.

Loved this episode it was so much fun! They do have such an interesting team but somehow it all comes together and just works for them. I'm loving the teamwork, even when they make fun of each other. Great chemistry among members. Looking forward to the next episode!

Woah, the group chemistry is so great. It look like they all have fun playing and it make me happy too :)

Hinata getting bullied by Kageyama is hilarious xD
Takana intimidation is also really funny. Those people were totally making in their pants :P

So our team came back in the game, but it look like their real ace have arrived. It should get even more interresting.

So it's Kageyama's former team at his previous school, I like how they felt shocked on the way he changed into a different person XD. Hinata still getting nervous and rushing to the restroom a lot of times.

At least they are getting back to their feet in the 2nd half of it. Oh damn, a boss battle at the end...

I really love the dynamic between kageyama and hinata >w<

And Hinata is being a cutie like usual. He's getting more and more adorable with each passing episode. His enthusiasms and dorkness is so /////////

Anyway this is a great episode. I'm smiling the whole time and I think tsukki's not that bad when he's not being a jerk. I'm hoping to see some character development soon!

And whoa there's a supposedly formidable setter. I can't wait for the next episode! Will karasuno lose? I hope not!
