| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ouch, more drama this episode surrunding Seiin High and Kuroba. I like the realism level of this episode for being able to keep the situation of their activites and events believable. Seems they're slowing down on the gameplay of volleyball and more into the characterization. |
 |
| Adults have some connections that you kids just don't understand yet. Probably true. But HOLY SH×T the connections the kids have, and the way their actions set off entire chains of events, the way a "simple joke" has such consequences, the way it reverberates later on in life - the actual REALITY of it... This episode was an absolute gem with all the interactions, the onion-like layers of revelations, all the visuals, everything in it, very strong. Legit breathing oxygen. |
| Good episode! We finally get to peak into a little bit of Haijima's past. His old teammates are complete assholes though, I'm glad Kuroba roughed him up. We can also see the relationship between Haijima and Kuroba growing too. It's really nice to finally have an episode where they get along instead of start drama with each other. Hopefully it stays that way. Also, their coach is, like, legendary?? That's a twist. |
 |
| Man this show is bad. The volleyball sucks, the drama sucks and most of side characters are kinda just there. It's not even good at being gay. I'm tempted to drop it unless next episode like magically improves. |
 |
| I guessed this show would focus more on the characters lives than any other sports anime, but this almost has no scenes match related (with the exception of a ball hit from Yuni in every ep) :/ |
| After all this time, both Yuni and Kimichika are still at loggerheads. Yuni is such a shiow-stopper for getting into last episode's fight, which how could it have got the Seiin volleyball team barred from the tournament, is beyond my comprehension. As for Kimichika, his brutal backstory, glad that we got to know more details, but this kind of drama...self-inserting yourself into the fire eh, Yuni (with random volley spikes)? And Chika fainting in the headway just to have a conversation with Sota, every plot device leads to a cause that has less weight to the story.Most other opposing characters are designed to be bad anyways. Yay...the suspension is lifted, so contine practicing, teenage angsty boys. Somehow, I have to call this out: this show managed to be even worse than Hoshiai no Sora. There's no basis for most of the conflict, and even if they are, there's no rhyme or reason behind them. |
 |
| So all that suicide attempt story was kind of joke, and Haijima is not bad after all, so everything is good. Okay. It's a bit disappointing, I was excpecting the remorses of Haijima would be better involved in his development and the plot. Too bad. |
 anime scriptwriters stop using misconstruction as plot twist challenge.. |

| bruh why is everyone in this series such a dick lol, I mean, I know Haijima is a dick an all but faking a suicide attempt to ""try and get him to change""? wtf loool? |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Damn. Hajima's boys really went and did him dirty :v |
 |
| The Latom at the end was low key the best part of the whole series, David Production is lit |
 |
| Another example of lame sports anime, stretching the meh drama as much as they can. Lmao he wasn't even in the fight and ran away but still got blamed cause he had a bruise on his face which he got from Itoko punching him. Absolutely marvelous plot. Well atleast Haijima got some closure. |
 |
| I'm liking Slice of Life and Drama part of this series. Looked up reviews, some Haikyuu fanboys are really angry about the anime. |
 |
| Someone whose lying toward the previous incident truly a gutsy, but lousy boaster. Idk why but that kind of drama gave me a sudden bad taste on my mouth. Because its almost destroying the team bonds that was being so affectionate lately, almost. Yuni, though, with his play mouth egged Chika's on to visiting his Tokyo's memories of school. The hell with those boy way of thinking? Gladly, Chika took it positively as a way to brushed his past nightmares off, as well as clarifying those past incident properly, directly from the peoples involved, including Sota and the rest of Chika's Tokyo friend. The result? Man, thats what happened. Too bad its happening in the first place without telling Chika the truth before he transferred out. Ofc he fainted like a poor boy, then. In short everything get resolved nicely. Chika cleared it out, then another good news from the school accepted that Yuni's cousin report about Yuni false accusation, closed the episode with a nice conclusion. But, when those lady Tokyo coach telling that Seiin old coach was actual a former famous coach, everything turned out to be great again for those boys next matches. God must be damn with that all information. Phew, finally, its over. Time for the real match, shall you? |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| The bruise was from Itoko hitting him? That was so dumb. |
 |
| they think it was a involved delinquent fight? oh such overreacting! 3/5. |
 |
| That was actually a really good episode in my opinion. Focused more on the characters than the games themselves. It was a light-hearted episode. Looks like we'll finally get into the volleyball games in the upcoming episodes. |

LeviLeads said: epic. i paused the scene to see the rest of the team gestures and there was the libero doing latom ajajjaThe Latom at the end was low key the best part of the whole series, David Production is lit well, i cant to say it was a great episode, but overall am still interested in it. kinda felt the "i don't want to be hated" from Sota and why his actions werent sincere out of fear. also Chika's reaction wasnt so unrealistic to me. but i think this so-called closure of Chika wouldnt have felt like that without the participation of the former coach, who filled up a lot. plus, now there's a bit of expectation about the Seiin's famous coach on the other hand, the tokyo boys deserved a good punch to the face, but Kuroba was already getting into trouble about it and he'd have put their tournament participation at risk for real (the rumor of "being related with criminals" seems exaggerated but the rigor of good behavior in the japanese schools are sometimes portrayed as radical according to the plot) |
| It's nice Haijima got some closure regarding the suicide attempt incident but damn, his old teammates and Sota are pure trash. Also yeah, I was expecting something more instead of the lame "it was all a joke, dude" resolution. |

| Yuni didn't call the police after all. I had been wondering why the last episode had that scene with Itoko and Yuni at the end, and now I get it. I've said this before, but I will say it again. I love that this anime represents different body types. Now, we have Sota, who is fat and also cute and not a joke. It feels more realistic that way. Even though the art is so detailed, the hospital was so blurry, monochromatic and barely recognisable. It was a nice way of showing the scene from Haijima's feverish POV. I like that they chose storytelling over showing a cool looking set all the time. |
| The start of the episode is kind of bruh, but the latter half is not bad. Bruh, those Meisei cunts really joked about suicide just so they could change Haijima. At least Haijima got some closure on the matter and he's not really a "murderer". Haijima's volleyball sensei is pretty hot though ngl. This show really had potential, but the directing is just eh most of the time. Hopefully it gets better. |
 |
| I felt a bit better than last episode, that way Kuroba edged on him was about to drop it if that caused another stupid drama. |
| God damn that simple joke has created entire chain of events... There is some life lessons to learn from here... Haijima finally overcome his past and his fear.... So he is actually not a bad person... Man, sometimes i questions about Kuroba decision... Idk is he either smart or dumb... |
 |
| I really can't tell if I love or hate this anime. I feel like they pack so much into one episode I can barely even keep up but there's also so many heartwarming moments. I really loved when Hajima showed Kuroba the Tokyo Gymnasium. I recognized it immediately because of Haikyu and it just felt really nostalgic to me even though I've never even been there... Anyways, this episode was alright. Interesting seeing Hajima's relationship with his former classmates and the horrible "prank" they pulled. |
 |
| At least Hoshiai no Sora was pretty to look at.. This show is fuck-ugly. |
| I'm struggling with this series, it has some good parts but most of it feels like too forced drama. Yuni was angry at Chika and told him to go back to Tokyo, and then he goes with him??? why?? The whole "it was a joke" was the worst part of the episode and maybe the entire series, this totally ruined Chika's potential development. I was hoping for him to deal with remorse and having to change the way he treats his teammates and all that (more like Kageyama?) but nope. |
 |
| Love that they at no point repeated the post credits scene that half the people probs missed. Completely bonkers. Absolutely hilarious. Fucking superb you funky little show lmaooo |

| Alright, this was kind of a plot twist but it actually made me mad. It feels rushed and half-serious because the guys who came up with the whole fake suicide plan got away with it way too easily. First of all, you don't joke about suicide, yet no one seems to confront the boys about this, not the parents, not the teachers not even Haijima. There is no backlash except that one tiny angry Kuroba moment. And second of all, Sota almost ruined Haijima's life, and for what? Because he was too much of a coward to quit volleyball? He said a half-assed "Sorry" in the hospital, and that's it? Done? And also the guy who revealed the scheme was speaking about it like it wasn't a big deal. I mean, when Kuroba smashed that volleyball I was hoping it would land in the boy's arrogant face... but no, he just simply did a spike out of nowhere to show true alpha dominance (?) idek it was cringy. Also, it takes a lot away from the dramatic tension. I was actually excited to see how Haijima was gonna get over his past, feeling guilty and everything, slowly becoming a better person. Kinda like Kageyama's character development but with a more serious issue... But now it turns out that he was the victim all along. |

| I don't understand why people keep saying not to compare it to Haikyuu. I get that you might be disappointed in it but like it has a LOT of similarities to Haikyuu. Genius setter paired up with the spiker No one liking the setter because he's too mean Setter being really ambitious and passionate about spiking (plenty more) I think at the beginning I liked this anime, partially because I thought it would have LGBTQ+ rep and also because I thought that like they would go deep into Hajime's past and why his friend tried to kill himself and then like getting closure and all that good stuff... but it's not even that deep Sota just faked a suicide attempt to get out of volleyball and to make Hajime's attitude change?? It's actually really disappointing and I guess I might keep watching it but it doesn't seem like there's anything to look forward to. |
| It's improved a little but boy does this anime like to force new drama every episode. It's hard to keep track of whose done what and where and when now. Especially as it drops a good story line like yesterdays news. It's still messy after I nearly dropped it after three episodes. The writing drama definitely feels like a female perspective despite being written for teenage boys. But I'm willing to give it one last try as it has made some improvements and hope now that those past issues are out in the open we can focus on current events now. |
 |
| Wow. Haijima may have attitude issues and all, but that's nothing compared to the people he was surrounded by back then. Awful people. |
| Yuni and Hajima have grown as characters, and this episode proves it. The two are now more focused than ever. |
 |
| "It was all a joke" - this joke ruined Chika's reputation :/ |
