| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah this was a decent start for the tournament. I like how both teams are trying out there with their skills. And like usual, I like the way the OST was coordinated with the pacing. It was nice seeing the girls compete too :3 Overall, good episode. I like how Yui tries to encourage her team as the captain yet also feels sad. |
 |
| That was a quick match. Really like how they portrayed the feelings of the players that lost. Noya was so damn cool at the end! Karasuno vs. Datekou is going to be an awesome match. |
| Great episode as always! I felt so bad about Tokonami and Karasuno female team :'( There has to be a spin-off with the female Volleyball club!!! Now against Datekou! Let's GO!!! |
| He really is a great líbero |
| Great episode, as usual. I'm really hyped for the next episode and the challenges Karasuno is about to face! |
| Another great episode! Man, this was quite the emotional one too. The whole theme about 'not giving up' and 'regret'. Felt really bad for the all the losing teams but really glad Karasuno moves on and is up against Dateko. Nishinoya is definitely AWESOME! xD He was able to restore the Karasuno team's confidence. :DD Can't wait for the match~ 5/5 |
 |
| so... i didn't think that a sports anime would make me cry also i think i'm in love with nishinoya yuu? |
| Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Dateko! haha damn the chant is addictive huhuhu Can't wait to see this match animated! Gonna be great :D |
| I like some focus on the losing teams. At least the feelings. Some cute moments. But I want more cute moments. Lol. |
| Great episode. I really like how they handled the part about the "losers", it was really well done and gave the episode a very emotional tone. Most sports manga/anime nowadays try to make that point but this has to be one of the most efficient ones I've seen so far. Also gotta give credit to how they capitalized on the heavy atmosphere with the Nishinoya scene. That was good comedic timing. |
| Good start for Karasuno. That part regarding those who have lost was done well. Very emotional. Up against Datekougyou next - the "Iron Wall" Can't wait to see this game. |
 |
| My feels for the defeated. |
 |
| first half of this ep had so many feels. letting the losing teams set the pace was a real nice touch! Nishinoya is the real top player!so cool! lol |
 No Blood! No Bone! No Ash! |
| No jokes, I cried when I was reading the victors and the defeated in the manga, it is still one of my favorite scene in the manga. But I didn't cry here, guess it's the kind of thing that works only once. Still, I felt sad for them. :( And here comes Datekou!! (My bro's fav team) Ahhh, Noya-san is sooo awesome! But he shined more in the manga version. :D |
| Interesting, the junior high life of the sempais (including the girls' team). 17:30 next week... (delay just when she is done for this Month's Sunday class...) |

 |
| Great episode! Glad we saw the girls' team again (da feels) Nishinoya's "Rolling Thunder... Again!" just about slayed me; especially the reactions from both Karasuno & Dateko aha Stoked for the upcoming match! Fly, Karasuno! |
| The first half was really fleshed out more than I expected them to but it was a great focus on how the loser feels ^^ The girls in this series are HOT :3 Dem thighs XD The ending with Noya's cheering was awesome :D Really great Libero indeed ^^ |
 |
| Loved how they switched the perspectives between the plays during the match, really cool. Awesome ep! |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| That was some emotional part. Winning and Losing. Noya cheering everyone. Crush them,Karasuno! |
 |
R0LAN said: Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Dateko! haha damn the chant is addictive huhuhu Can't wait to see this match animated! Gonna be great :D Agree. It's really catchy. This episode was full of feels man. A perfect blend of comedy and heart-felt emotions this time around. Am pumped for the next match!!! |
| Fantastic episode. Also, the variety put into character designs - even for the extras and one-offs - is just lovely. |
R0LAN said: Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Dateko! haha damn the chant is addictive huhuhu Yeah I realised that when I started chanting this for no reason at home Lol |
| "There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!" "Aah? Of course I won't miss!" "My blood tastes like Iron." "Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!" |
| A good look into the losers of the matches and not just winners, i thought that was nice. Damn i can't wait until next week. Now it really begins. I can see this match being a long one. Is this doing well in sales? i hope so. I really don't want it to end ;( |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| Nishinoya is indeed very cool <3 Next match will be awesome, I know it. |
| Another great episode! The feels - the winners, losers and Sawamura/Nishinoya awesomeness! |
 |
| It was nice how they showed the feelings of all the loser teams. Noya was pretty cool at the end. The match against Dateko should be an exciting one. |

I can see this match being a long one. Is this doing well in sales? i hope so. I really don't want it to end ;( The manga has sold over seven million volumes, so you'd think people would be interested in the anime too. Will definitely get a season two imo. |

| I want a spin-off anime about the girls team. |
| They showed all the loosing teams including the karasuno girls team which was nice. I think it's going to be a tough match for Asahi next week since its against Dateko and after he couldn't hit any spikes it made him want to quit. |
| I read that the manga/anime together was doing pretty well. It should get a second season (i hope) ! First time i was really this sad for the loosing teams, they made a really good point about it. Whichever studio is taking care of Haikyuu is doing a great job ! :D All the characters look good, even the extra characters have varied faces. |
| I had tears in my eyes. Gotta say it was one of the best episodes so far :'( |
| It looks like they are still making common mistakes, well you can't improve at everything overnight. So Daichi was the only one to be sad about them losing in junior high hm. Kageyama is freaking OP lol. The girls volleyball team doesn't seem to be doing so well at all... The game ended pretty fast, but that was to be expected considering how good their team is. Ohooo, Karasuno vs Dateko! Awww, the girls lost T.T LOL at the rolling thunder XD. Can't wait to see how their game goes next episode. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| What a beautiful episode where they shifted the focus on the other sides perspective with the emotional aspects of team play. This anime is seriously in my top 3 right now. Can't wait for Dateko's match! |
"We live not to forget our past, but to learn from it!" ―Freya Crescent, Final Fantasy IX. |
| Wow, I'm really impress with this episode, it gives you an emotional and realistic feel when you play volleyball; if you are losing, or if you are winning. The first half was pretty much well done, when they show how bad losing is and how determined they are win it. Nice side story on the girls side to see how they are doing and the feel of their playing. Karasuno vs Dateko up next, damn I want to see the match so badly. |
| Rolling Thunder... Again! |
| Go go let's go let's go Date kou! Damn, that is stuck in my mind. Well, this episode didn't have that much awesome Haikyuu action but I'm sure we will see it next week! Can't wait! |
| Pretty boring episode. All the "we won't give up" talk gets boring too |
| I think we need a girls volleyball anime. |
| great episode, I liked how this episode shows the point of view of those who lose their matches, which are in the last year and can no longer play, it's something we're not used to seeing and I had never thought about it, how many good players stop playing because this type of situation? Seriously, this episode reflects reality. |

| Very moving episode. It was great. I can't wait to see the girls cheering for the guys. They will realize how amazing the boys are and scream "KARASUNO, KARASUNO" or something. I'll have goosebumps for sure. Nishinoya is the best guy of this show. Srsly the hole scene of his Rolling Thunder was truly awesome. Can't wait for more. Fly, Karasuno! |
 |
| GO GO LET'S GO LET'S GO DATEKO!! That sounds really catchy for some reason. |
| That feels montage. |
| I love the focus on girls volleyball. I really, really, really do. Too bad Karasuno Girls' lost. :( An Iron Wall versus flying Crows? Really? There's no question who will win in metaphors, that is. Side note: I heard somewhere that shouyo means "to soar". If that's the truth, then Hinata is the one who gave lift to Karasuno's wings. |
