| Episode that oozes from every pore of shonen, too slow and discursive narrative, that the only fault is attributable to him, if you really want to look for a flaw. The construction of interpersonal ties seems to be the focal point so far dealt with the plot, I am not entirely unhappy with this choice. Drawings and animations discrete, overall the episode is enjoyable to follow the cliffhanger and gives that thrill that I wanted so much, I can not wait to see this new conflict between the Karasumo and Nekoma. |
 |
| Lots of drama every ep. But it's definitely getting better. Probably 7/10 now. |
| Hm. I wanna see more of green haired Yamaguchi actually playing on the court :/ He seemed fascinated with the jump float serve so maybe that's gonna be his own specialty later on :] |
| Now they really reformed ~ .. nice !! Yosh .. A lot of practice should be done for the upcoming battle ~ . Have faith .. in the youth !! |

| Kageyama still bossy as hell but it's amazing to see how much he's grown since the early beginnings of the show. "As long as I'm here, you're invincible" tho? That was chuuni as f (but still kindof adorable in its own weird way). |

| I'm interested now to see them play in a real match . Good Episode . |
| Kageyama is finally becoming a decent king. Every episode just gets better and better <3 |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| some character development for hinata in this episode. guess i didn't know what floating service is until just now. that coach is going to be essential as he could name the weak points in a short time. |
 |
| Decent episode and match is getting fired up. |

| I think Yamaguchi might never get to play with that line-up :D He both looks and has a similar name to Yamazaki from Gintama, and it seems that his role will be just as marginal as his. Good episode. Hinata & Kageyama are an amazing pair. Makes me wonder what'll happen when Hinata has to play with a different setter, though. |

| Oh boy ... when Kageyama was making that speech to Hinata I'm already thinking about what if Kage's sick or joins a different team for some reason, Hinata would feel useless since he cant receive and cant spike without him. There's not going to be someone else that puts those balls exactly where Hinata is going to wind up. |

| Tsukki is such a funny gag character, I love how you can see his glare on his face in shots like the final 'fight' shot, or see him snickering in the background at others misfortune. This was an episode about Ukai and Asahi and Noya getting to know Hinata and Kageyama and vice versa. As well as it was about Kageyama and Hinata bonding by fixing Hinata's doubt. It was good. I think it was interesting how we got to see Hinata's weakness again, he's a strong character but when he's faced with doubts over his future as an ace, or his future on the court he shows some intense anxieties. And in both cases, Kageyama was the ultimate bro. The first time he showed him that he's already done the scariest thing and he has no reason to be afraid, that they know he's not great but they put him on anyway, so he shouldn't be afraid of not staying on the court. This time he told him to his face that he isn't going to be the ace right now, he understood his way of thinking because he probably would feel the same way and does to some degree with others setters like Suga, but it doesn't matter if he's called the ace, what matters if he can score no matter what when they synergize! That both score and both are equally important so be happy with your role even if it's not ace! He's the ultimate friend, even if he acts a bit mean sometimes, he knows how to help a guy out. :) The final point of the episode was an awesome display of everyone's strengths. Hinata went for a spike as the formidable decoy throwing the blockers off, Kageyama tossed with great acccuracy to Tanaka who spikes showing his offensive strength, but then Noya keeps the ball in play with his incredibly precise defense, Suga shows his reliable and trustworthy toss and finally Asahi spikes the ball back into the other court. An amazing note to end on! I wonder if Kiyoko will be more than a pretty face in the future. |

| That's why I love bromance in sports anime. I love Kageyama and Hinata duo <3 |
 |
| well yes ... the practice match was lost but the gained so much more |
 |
| This show can be cringe and cool as hell the same time |
 |
Good character development for Hinata. Kageyama always knows what he is saying. |

Wow, the speed of a volleyball actually gets to 100km/h? That's nuts. |
 |
| Everyone is so cool when they play lol |
 |
| Kurooooo!!! He's coming! I'm having a blast watching Haikyuu. I like voleyball when it's played seriously and I love high school stuff and I also love hype things, 3 things Haikyuu has. This episode also felt nostalgic in a way, seeing the old guys go to their houses and all that. The immersion in this anime is great. Also, is this the end of the arc? Because the ending song gave me that feeling. Please don't change the opening and ending so soon, they are good, especially the opening, Spyair is 10/10. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Nice episode. I think that by this point we can say safely that this show emphasizes much more on the slice-of-life aspect of Sports anime, which isn't bad per se. I really lacked these kinds of episodes with Kuroko no Basket, but still I do hope that we are going to get matches as on fire as those that made KnB so great. |
  |
| Good game! The new team kept up with the pros. Hinata and Kageyama duo really shocked the others. This happened thanks to the trio, the Cap and Tanaka and Suga. Specs is the best guy for arrangements. Amazing team really!!! |
| like the anime read my thoughts, everything annoyed me previous episode were fixed here lol. though it still in the level of practice match lol. so far i'm more cheering hinata and daichi duo than asahi lol. |
| Kageyama's speech was pretty good. He knows what he is talking about. He has grown so much since the start of the season. Hinata is also looking better now. And I just love watching them play together. I hope Yamaguchi and Tsukki get some focus. Especially Yamaguchi. My man hasn't played once since the 3v3. Again, a great episode. No episode has disappointed me so far. |
 |
| Kageyama really is backing up Hinata. |
 |
| The way that this team is building up is incredible |
