2nd OP - 0/10, as always

Hinata's spike at the very end. He ran straight up the middle, and wasnt blocked lol..

Also interesting how theyre showing a little bit of the girls team matches too now.

Episode beautiful as usual, now no longer a question if the narration is effective or not in making engaging the facts narrated. Again I found an interesting plot and a narrative that manages to be funny and serious at the same time. The beginning of the match, however, was not very effective in representing the true potential of the characters, except the couple Hinata-Kageyama. Too bad, Asahi and Koyo is a bit devalued, oh well!

first pic had me literally choking from laughter and the second .gif sent chills down my spine.
Where were you all my life, Haikyuu!! ?

Also, I know this was most likely not intentional, but Oikawa reminded me so much of Amuro in this scene:

Generally, I get discouraged when after the midseason break, an anime changes its opening theme. I become familiar with the song and the second one never has the same energy, but it's usually "okay" in my books. I make a huge exception with Ah Yeah. There's an air of progression about the song that gets me amped and continues the flow of positive optimism that I find synonymous with Haikyuu. Cheers.

I really like the new OP and ED, although I think that the first OP is way better. I just fangirled when I saw Kageyama smiling at the end of the ED.

The rumors about Asahi were so funny! Also, the tall guy with no eyebrows from Dateko is creepy as hell. Glaring at Asahi and pointing at him, that's uncalled for.

I sense more action in the next episodes, I can't wait!

oh ma gawd that animation i mean it, they just destructed the average anime with this the same as karasuno did with the enemy team in this episode. it looks like they will get completely eradicated by karasuno if this goes on but they probably have trick up their sleeve yet.

This was a hilarious episode with the comedic scenes especially centering Asahi. I like how the girl's volleyball team is shown as part of the Karasuno battle spirit.

It took me far too long to realize the "fly" banner was in regards to the 'flightless crows' taking flight and reviving. I'm proud to say I realized it before this episode spelt it out though! Not that it did it poorly, Hinata acting as the symbolic crow and taking flight via jumping to get the team rolling and landing with the banner behind him exclaiming 'fly' like an omen was magnificent. <3

It was nice to see Karasuno depicted as threats from outsiders this time. Asahi as the brutal old kid who can't get out of high school- extorting money and selling drugs, Noya the best libero, and Kageyama the intense king- even if it was somewhat negative. People aren't dismissing them and that's interesting, they're not total under dogs. I appreciate that they have a presence.

No eyebrows-san on the Dateko team makes me think he read the guide on how to be a delinquent from Cromartie High. He was honestly comedic in how much he was overdoing it.

Yui being influenced by Daichi's speech to hype up her team, and Ikejiri stopping himself from speaking down on himself and his team show what a great influence Daichi is on those around him. He's the dad of the anime!

I like that the tournament started but the opponents feel very generic except a bit for Daichi's former schoolmate.

And it has started. I'll feel bad for Daichi's friend. Already down 3 points. But I still love my Karasuno more. Poor Asahi, lmao. Those rumours were so funny. A sport anime with 10/10 comedy, I love it.

This is amazing!!!

The opponent has taken the bait and now just to use the correct cards on the correct time. However Karasuno already looks dangerous. Probably except those high peoples Karasuno is the most dangerous looking team.

They were telling 5f5i is a short height!!! Seriously I thought this was average! Better get taller :|

finally the tournament is here, so why am i so disappointed?
firstly, they took too much time just to start the game already and only by the end, we already had big build-up episode before this one. i don't care if this episode to have 3 or 4 chapters adapted, which i'm doubt on since the slow pace.
secondly, even the start of the game felt like slideshow of what we know already only to get people's comments.
there's reason i don't care watching sport anime at night, since it's tension wake me up usually, those last 2 episodes didn't done it..
rather than that the content was still good, so...

the opening was good, but i think it's calmer compare to the first. the ending was average as the previous though.

Looks like the teams they are going up against are pretty intimidating.
Wondering how far they will get.
Seems like they are being serious about it, so hope the training pays off.
