Idk why but the training scenes made me chuckle.

It was an alright episode, the pacing slowed down somewhat. Hell, even eating is becoming a training trend now lol. I like the design of their uniform of course, very fitting for Hinata. Now I hope to see some of that training put to good use.

Dorm living starts. He cannot decide who to go center.

Main guy meets KajiKaji's character. His voice sounds lazy. He's center from the team they are going to fight against.

Miyu-Miyu's character is fighting on his way to be able to play.

Wow @ Neko team's way of play. So~~~~ slow.

Training begins and oh man was this episode good. It was so funny too, especially with Tanaka and Nishinoya looking like dead people then when they saw Kiyoko they're looked all better again. Hinata and Tanaka being scared about a child in the hallway was pretty funny yet creepy. xD Nishinoya looked really unrecognisable with his hair down, oh wow. xD Hinata's comment about his hair was funny. Asahi appearing was even funnier, oh my god. Then Daichi was like 'SHUT UP!!!!' :P

Hinata meets Kozume for the first time; that Yuki Kaji voice is very distinct. Looks like he's also a strong player. Man, Sugawara was really cool this episode. He expressed his true feelings to the coach and know he feels a lot better. Haha, the team finally gets their uniform and Hinata get's #10 the same as the Little Giant's. :D I really like how close Kageyama and Hinata have become. They even race to the bathroom. xD Nekoma vs Karasuno - their first match. I can't wait!

Excellent episode! Mega Funny and also had really important moments for Sugawara, Ennoshita, Kinoshita and Narita. All of them want to play but they are subs :'(. Yamaguchi is in the same situation, but we really didn't see what he taught about that in this episode.
I loved how Production I.G. took two excellent funny moments of the manga and upgraded them to epic funny moments. Kyoko not sleeping in the dorm and Ghost Nishinoya, I'm talking of you! XD

Now for the game against Nekoma! Let's Go!

:'( Waiting one more week :'(

Nishinoya and Tanaka revives after seeing Kiyoko again XD
LOL Asahi with wet hair scared the crap out of Tanaka, Hinata and Nishinoya
Hinata working too hard during training and ends up getting lost - but ends up meeting Enma - Nekoma's setter. Was a nice little conversation there.
Hinata got the Little Giant's #10, nice.

And there's Tanaka's doppelganger, Yamamoto xD

Looking forward to Nekoma and Karasuno fight it out next week :D

Good job anime! They added extra scenes, but it was awesome! Loved imouto cameo! Loved Tanaka & Noya's revival! Loved the Asahi horror part!

I'm sensitive when it comes to Suga's predicament. :/

And yay with Nekoma!! Nakamura Yuiichi <3 (I don't like Yuki Kaji, but I got to admit that his voice suits Kenma, I actually predicted if Kaji was to get into the cast, he would be kenma)

How can you guys post at this time T.T 4:40 am here... need sleep T.T
Noya and Tanaka unable to go on without Shimizu xD That sudden change from those dry looking dead faces to the shiny alive faces!
The training camp! Ukai struggles to pick the setter. Suga's response saying that winning comes first before anything!
Kenma the setter of Nekoma. Even the little giant's team lost to Nekoma.
Nekoma views Karasuno as a rival too. Are beautiful managers that important xD
Ugh my eyes... I hope I can wake up in two hours.
Nekoma without any weakness is stronger than most teams!

That wet hair scene was hilarious. Noya looked surprisingly good with his hair down, but Asahi looked scary as hell.
Nekoma seems like a difficult opponent from what they showed in this episode. Yamamato is so similar to Tanaka.

Really fun episode :D

Noya and Tanaka's reaction to Kiyoko leaving was so damn hilarious XD

The faces Hinata and Tanaka made when they got scared was so lol. Noya looks nice with his hair down. But man Asahi scared the crap out of me XDXDXD

Loved Kenma and Hinata's conversation. Kenma's neko eyes when he said "We're strong" were really nice. It makes u feel the confidence.

Suga is awesome. Loved his talk with Ukai. He really deserves respect.

Can't wait to see Yamamoto's reaction to Karasuno having a hot manager XD

The last scene with them staring at eachother was awesome! And Lol'd so much at Hinata dropping his jaw seeing Kenma XD and Tanaka and Yamamoto staring at one another XD

I really like Kenma's chilled character.
Nekoma will definitely be a tough rival to defeat.
Hinata is treating that uniform like a sacred item, I hope he becomes the next Little Giant.
Loved the humour throughout the episode.
Yamamoto will be very jealous when he meets the Karasuno team manager.
I really want to see how Kenma compares to Kageyama as a setter.
Hinata's priceless facial expressions never cease to amaze me.

Great episode as always, setting the pace slower this time around to build up for the match next week!

I'm not sure if you guys are manga readers but when I saw the preview where Hinata + Kageyama combo is in motion, an enemy hand comes to block it - I got SO excited for the next episode.

Hahaha, too bad for them, Kiyoko is not staying. Noya looks better with his hair down.

Another spectacular episode.

YES, finally the wet hair scene that i've been waiting for.

It was supposed to be Noya by himself so Asahi's part was an extra addition into the anime only - which imo was a splendid idea because that shit was hilarious and it actually improved the scene.

Oh look it's Kaji Yuki in a role I don't hate! I definitely prefer when he uses a soft voice for characters.

decision between kageyama and suga is tough
much respect to suga who is willing to give kageyama the position eventhough he's a third year

Great episode! This great adaptation overall makes me proud as a IG fan (pretty sure I am in a small minority XD)

Maybe it's just me (after seeing a few comments complain about how slow and boring it is), but personally I was never bored for even a second when watching this series. It got a perfect blend of action, comedy and character developments to keep me fully engaged.

Great episode! Super fun and hilarious, a nice set up for the match to come.
Loved the part when Hinata thinks there is a little boy in their dorms, turns out to be Noya with his hair down lol. And the fact that his hair adds to his height, I can't!

Great pacing and great adaptation. Loving every bit of this.

Hinata getting excited by the toilets at training camp did it for me. 5/5! XD

More Natsu-imoto! And morning cycling! Love the glimpses into Hinata's personal life.

I usually only watch RL volleyball during the Summer Olympics, but matches in which the ball stays in play for long periods of time are the best. Nekoma: my anticipation. May next match be as exciting as it promises.

So: as usual, Haikyuu!! doesn't do anything special, but accomplishes that special feel anyways. Impossibly charming volleydorks. :>

I died at the part when Asahi-san came out of the bath. Absolutely hilarious.

Great episode. Their new uniforms get me so pumped!
I felt a little bad about Suga-san, but I couldn't stand it if Kageyama weren't the official setter. Love him too much! At least Sugawara has a good attitude about all this.

I love how in the last scene of the episode, while they're facing Nekoma, you can see Hinata's shocked face in the corner at how he recognizes the setter. xD Details like that really make the show for me.

Can't wait for next week ahhh!!

I laughed pretty hard at the horror scene. Noya was easy to recognize even with wet hair, but damn, I was like, who is that guy when Asahi came up.

Kenma debuts! I like Kaji Yuuki's portrayal of Kenma, it definitely fits well, and I wouldn't mind seeing Kaji get another role in which he can utilize this soft spoken voice. Random detail of Kenma twiddling his toes is cute too ^^

Also loved Suga's confrontation with the coach, it's always good to be honest.

Captain: "The Little Giant wore #10."
Hinata to coach: "Did you give me #10 on purpose?"
Coach: "No it's just a coincidence."
Hinata: "Then it must be destiny."
Kageyama: "It's a coincidence."
Hinata "Don't be jealous Kageyama-kun."

Made me LOL :')

That ghost part was hilarious too. I didn't even recognize Asahi with his hair down lmao But I wonder why Hinata started saying that stuff. I thought he was in on some prank haha.
