OMG! This was just so amazing! I mean I almost had a coronary several times. I was jumping around like a lunatic cheering and I burst into tears. What more can you ask for. What a finish to that game. Hinata & Kageyame just <3!! Can't wait for the match against Nekoma!

What a tense fricken game holy and they finally manage to pull it off. The upset 30-32. What a tiring game.

I like how they defined speed and say it's a powerful weapon but at the same time it's a curse.

You will see that clearly on the next match... Karasuno will be SPEED.

Nekoma battle will be awesome and FRUSTRATING

Anyone can describe their battle as "Immovable object vs. Unstoppable force"

The next match covers roughly 30 chapters so I think they'll put a whole cour again (10-13 episodes)

However, this time, the match covers little to no backstories or flashbacks, so the momentum will stay consistent.

The hype in this episode was unmatched. I had to hold my breath multiple times lmao.

I hadn't realized how big the Kageyama and Hinata block thing was until someone on this thread mentioned they were essentially blocked their own copied strike and... wow... yeah that does make it a pretty epic scene.

My favorite moment from the episode was seeing Tsukki struggle to reach the ball, and then start his monologue about Kageyama and Hinata. So far Tsukki's character development has been pretty subtle (save for his scream in Season 3 that we all know of course), so seeing him give his all to such an extent and even acknowledge the capabilities of his teammates instead of just being salty about it was really cool to see. I see a lot of people joking about how Season 1 Tsukki would bully tf out of Season 4 Tsukki and imo that's part of what makes his character development great.

Surprisingly, I'm not even a big fan of Tsukki haha, I just really appreciate well-written characters.

This was super tense and fantastic way to end the match. There was some weird artwork in some scenes though but I can forgive this, as the rest of episode was quality. I felt ridiculously tense as if this was a real game for a team I'm supporting.

Overall great way to end a season that had several problems in its first half but last few episodes were superb when it actually mattered.

Yeah these are the scenes I meant when I said the artwork was really weird in them, but it can be forgiven in this one as I said, as the rest of the episode was quality, unlike some episodes from the first half of the season which were trainwreck from start to finish.

The final point here in the anime just didn't sit right with me. In the manga from the second Osamu jumps out from the back to the second he hits it is so packed with words and the empty parts of the pages are colored with black instead of of leaving it blank white. Its such tense imagery that is suddenly met with a pure bright colored 2-page spread with just the block from Hinata and Kageyama. Its wordless, the drawing is very light. From that second to the second the the crowd screams is absolute silence. The anime was different. They shouldve cut the music the moment it was blocked. The tone of the scene was the same all throughout Idk it just did not sit right with me.

The last few episodes bumped this up to a 9 for me personally. Really liked this match, everyone got a chance to shine and the opponent's were great as well. The artwork was kinda strange at times, but the strong moments make up for it.

With how Hinata performed during the latter parts of the match, I can see some justification with the change in the artsyle. Personally, I think that those scenes wouldn't have the same effect if it was done in the original anime artsyle. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that the original was still the best :v

I mean I kind of agree but they still covered about four chapters per episode this season. The issue is more that this match was way too long in the manga for what it was. Nekoma IMO has the buildup behind it to make a 10ish episode match worth it.

Haikyuu delivers yet another series of explosive plays connecting to that last step towards victory. My favorite part of To The Top has definitely been seeing Hinata grow as a player and how his new weapons are less about offense and more about support for Karasuno. Ending the match with Hinata & Kageyama blocking the twins fit like a glove as it brought this whole match full circle.

The episode was exciting even if it was inevitable they would win, but damn they really fucked up the animation at some of the coolest moments. Like please at least try to have some amount of consistency.
Kageyama and Hinata, the duo blocking the final quick attack from the twins is quite fitting.

Yeah that was a good final rally as usual, and it's cool that they called back on things Hinata learned being the ball boy, but overall this season (and maybe this second half in particular) was definitely lacking compared to the previous 3. Some jank animation and lacking direction was very noticeable. The tension just wasn't there compared to big games in the previous seasons. This match was pretty dragged on for only 3 sets.

Well I guess that can happen after staff/production changes due to the large time between those seasons. At least the movies will look very good during the matches even if ppl say it's not enough to finish the series.
