Glad Hinata finally got out of his bad vibes. This was a really funny episode for some reason! I love Tanaka. I also pretty much love every member of the team now...

Why were people screaming for Oikawa?? He's not that hot...tha fuck...

For some reason I found Hinata's nervousness funnier to watch than last episode. Him hitting Kageyama on the back of the head was pretty funny.

This new guy seems like trouble

First episode I'm really disappointed with. Everything felt fake, the match didn't get focus and we got plain comedy and stupid speeches instead...

Episode engaging, narrative arrives what is lacking in the story, or volleyball. The plot goes in the right direction, satisfied. Good mix of comedy and education to the game of volleyball, but the best part is the interaction between the characters in the cast. Discrete drawings and animations.

Kageyama learning to, um, channel his anger in more constructive ways, I guess. Glad Hinata survived.

imo, the best part of this show is when the enemy, or people in the crowd, finally see Hinata do something crazy and stop laughing at him for being short

While watching this I realized something. Kageyama will almost certainly take back and redeem his king title! I 100% believe there will be a major development in the future where Kageyama no longer feels ashamed of the egocentric king title, but instead it gets reborn as the great king who understands his people. Hinata calling him king earnestly rather than to mess with him will probably be what drills it into place at the key moment. Or that's my prediction anyways.

The more I see Tsukki the more I like him. As a villain he's obnoxious, but for the good guys to have a generic, glaring shounen villain as a teammate who's note even satisfied when his team is doing well is a treat. I loved how him and Tanaka and Kageyama intimidated the other school.

This practice match was important for Hinata. As much as it was weird seeing him completely fall apart, it's not out of character and this time the stress is on more than ever! He could be swapped out! Because of that, for Kageyama to give him a speech about how he's already done the scariest thing, and Tanaka told him that they all know he sucks and Daichi put him on anyway but that's why he has a team Hinata finally realized something. He may not have been playing an egocentric game, but he thought his team relied on him to do his best rather than the opposite being true, that he should rely on his team so he can do his best! That's a huge shift for Hinata but it paid off. I wonder if this is going to be the end of his extreme anxiety days.

Tanaka is an offensive powerhouse. Hinata is an incredible decoy and good offensive tool. Kageyama is a perfect setter for how he syncs with Hinata. Tsukki is a great blocker. And Daichi keeps it all together, covering their weaknesses. Poor Tsukki's friend who's only job has ever been to stand behind him and be a cheerleader. I don't even know his name! I hope we learn more about him.

It felt good to see Kageyama's former teammates see his change. :) This is such a pure and enjoyable anime. It's simple, straight forward, efficient, earnest, and tightly paced. It doesn't do anything shocking, but it understands exactly how to tell a story like this. For that, I'm loving it.

It's great how Aoba Johsai's coach represents Karasuno's team, highlighting each one's strengths and weakness. The scenes of Tsukiyama, Kageyama, Hinata and Tanaka are too funny. l o l

Priceless episode. Hinata being anxious was relatable, it always sucks when you get physically sick and are too overwhelmed to notice your surroundings :( I think his team's words soothed him though. The spikes were epic, but the best thing of all was Hinata's serve that went directly on Kageyama's head LOL

Man, re-watching season 1 and seeing how furudate's style evolved over the years makes me so emo. can't waitttt for season 4, the new OP and ED and ofc, the new character designs

edit: also LMFAO oikawa's theme song kills meee, replace it with hisoka's (hxh) theme and it would suit him just fine they're the same seiyuus after all

I didn't like this episode. Comedy was boring and the match worse.

Hinata better see a doctor about all those digestion problems. He might have a serious condition. Maybe he stretched out his intestines too much from practicing his jump.

I was determined that Kageyama was going to flip his lid over that hit lol. Also I love how nervous Hinata was for his "debut". Its also a nice backstory time to learn more about Kageyama in my opinion with the last game he played with Turnip guy. It just shows more and more that he is really having to put all of his trust into Hinata.

This went well!!

I didn't thought Hinata could make it. His state was getting worse. Female manager trying to calm him was really funny. He just blasted LOL! However thanks to Kageyama things got normal. As I thought, he should have talked at the first time clearly.

It was good to see that other team coach understood their game and was happy. He understood that this happened because of number 5 (Hinata) and that particular team.

yeah that was kinda expected, right after thinking "wait we are THAT good ?" there's showing their starter setter. lol

can't get enough with this anime comedy, though my favourite part was hinata dropping the referee, the headshot made me hold my laugh so the whole house won't wake in the middle of the night. xD

glad that hinata got over his nervous, their team chemistry is really likeable afterward. specially kamegawa fighting with tsukki lol/

That was a pretty good episode. Got to see more of the whole team till now. Hinata definitely needs to see a doctor lol.
Tsukki is also becoming more and more likable. And now we will be up against their first choice setter.

I like Kei's trash talking has its own music lol. I knew he would be going wild on Aoba. Captain should cut the crap and let him loose.
