Woo, that third set went on and on with the deuces
I'm content with the way it ended it was a thrilling match and exhausting even to watch

Nishinoya devouring that large plate was nice to see

Man that ending scene where they all eat, I felt some tears in my eyes when all of them are holding it in, but couldn't do it. Such a powerful scene that they will get stronger in the future. Also I liked how they made a scene where Kageyama is the former king and throws his cloak down, he is not the "King of the Court" anymore.

Man, the last episode for next week, I really want this to get a second season.

Really good episode, I kinda expected the loss. If you guys didn't notice a reoccuring theme in this show is overcoming the lows of sports and of life. Losing in the major tournament is part of that for kageyama and hinata's character development. It was the same for Oikawa and Asahi etc....


It was for Oikawa? It is! He never won a tournament, never bet Shiratorizawa, since middle school! 5 years always loosing!


True haha.

Just epic! The directing, the music, the characters, the atmosphere, the emotions. Everything just brings a frenzy of emotions in me. One of the best sports I have seen. Deserves the popularity! & The high score it's receiving.

The Kageyama - Hinata combo is the best kind of combo there is, true story bros.

Damn Hinata's all over the freaking court with his super speed.

Ohooo, Oikawa missed the serve, now's the chance for Karasuno to win the game.

Kiyoko-san kawaii :3

Good thing Hinata managed to pull Kageyama out of that frozen state after seeing Kunimi play so well and actually laugh.

Awwww, so Kageyama's not the lonely king anymore, good for him T.T

Um... duh f-ck... they just lost... but doesn't that mean they can't go to the nationals now and that the 3rd years will have to retire, unless I'm too tired and can't remember it any other way lol.

Awwww sensei T.T

I also cried manly man tears this episode T.T

I can't wait to see what the last episode is going to bring us.

Of course they lost, that loser Karasuno team. Can't think of a sports shounen where the protagonist team never lost. This would have been a nice last episode; not usually a huge fan of the calm after the storm.

I like how the inclusion and variation in the chants, it really adds to the atmosphere.

Beautifully done! Amazing episode >.<!! I guess we know where the budget of last week went ^^; Animation was so good!

The beginning with Hinata running left to right, right to left non stop was epic!

The emotions and tension done throughout until the very end when they took the losing point were just masterfully depicted!

Oikawa looking down on Tobio saying "Not today" was soooo gooood!!! His final Serve was BA!

And the FEEEELZ when they were eating T_T

It really was a heartbreaking episode, at least for me. For some reason Haikyuu!! just nails that feeling of loss, of being on the other side, something most sports anime rarely get right. They really drive home the fact that it's not just about the main characters, but there are other teams with their own ambitions and desire to win as well. I love the anime so far and hope it returns for a 2nd season ^_^

Nice episode, their defeat was something obvious, but they fought until the end.
They rushed a bit the remaining third set... I expected full episode for it.
That not today face of Oikawa...
But this episode was really emotive, feels everywhere.
I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :)

Oh my god.
I read the manga, I know it was going to happen... But i lost it anyway.
I thought the match would end next ep, and when i realized it wouldn't I panicked a bit. I was like "no no no please kill me already I don't want to watch this i know exactly where this is going but no".
I felt so emotional I can't believe it.
It was epic.
Damn, next week is the last. I don't want Haikyuu!! to end, it's such a great series. Guess who is going to reread the manga over and over again after that. Can't wait for season 2.

That;s right Kageyama. You have friends now. You are not lonely :D

WHAT!? *throws keyboard on the ground* THEY LOST!? So sad...T_T They were so close to beating them too.

The scene where everyone cried their manly tears out (except for Tsukki lol) is also sad.

Wait, isn't this the last tournament for the third years? If it is, I feel sorry for them.

Okay let me just say: Haikyuu is now my all time favorite anime.
This anime is so beautifully made and constantly so intense, which is how it should be, especially for sports anime. Everything about this episode was flawless. I hated the fact that they lost, but it was perfect because they can't win 'em all :( KARASUNO FOREVER ❤️
THE LAST FEAST SCENE WHERE EVERYONE WAS EATING AND CRYING. I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING SO HEARTBREAKING IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I CRIED SO HARD MY EYES ARE OUT OF WATER.

Wellll, they lost. And the senpai... they'll will graduate and continue somewhere else... Asahi, Daichi, Sugawara, TANAKAAAA, even the cutie Yui... This is a sad day.

The dinner at the end was so damn hard to watch :(
It's like they also knew it was the end of the season xD

I had hope, I really believed that someone could catch that ball at the end. That whole moment when you see the ball fall to the ground, I unrationaly thought they could still win, even though I was just denying the truth.

Well, that was a long ride, we'll see how it end. Hopefully, we'll get a second season.

They seriously lost? WOW. I loved this choice, and the author is actually kind of brave. Everything in this episode was beautifully executed, the music played a majestic role that gave a lot more empathy for the spectator. That's why I firmly believe Haikyuu's OST are the best OST around this season, even better than Sawano's works, or that could just be me I dunno.

I'm so sad this show is coming to an end. I'm thinking to read the manga sooner or later. Either way I really hope for a S2 because this show deserves it all.

I don't think I've ever seen people eat and cry at the same time in an anime before. Or if I have, it wasn't quite crying like that.

Winning was too good to be true, but watching that was still painful.

I think I saw a few others but I can't recall where because it was a long time ago.

Anyways it was a nice ep. Kinda sad that they lost, but it's necessary for them to grow stronger.

Kageyama and Hinata will grow stronger after this, but what about Suga, Daichi and Asahi? Wasn't this their last chance at high school? There will be another tournament or it's "over" for them? Thinking about that while watching the scene with everyone eating and crying left me with a bitter feeling despite how well they played... damn, this series is good.

I hope Haikyuu gets a S2.

how can i type my comment when the tears are overflowing in my eyes?!

anyway, as a person who also lost/failed recently, this was really relatable and inspiring, especially at the end when the theme of "moving on and growing stronger" was enforced. it just made me feel better about myself.

i was spoiled before this episode that they wouldn't win but it still hit my kokoro hard. ughfdhgjdfhgjdfhgjdfh second season where

My heart hurts from watching this episode lol it was so good. I couldn't remember how they lost in the manga but I remember it was heartbreaking and the anime did not disappoint, it moved me all over again. The sequence where Kageyama passes the ball to Hinata for the last time was amazing and the scene where the entire team was crying while eating made me fall in love with HQ all over again. Great Episode.
One more episode left, and it's most likely going to be an emotional one.
