| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah pretty good match this episode. I expected and it was delivered. The pacing felt somewhat fast but still enjoyable. I really liked the teamwork between Hinata and his team actually. Hell, even the girls of the team are amazed. There were some really amazing spikes imo this episode. |
 |
| Very tall and quick guy to block the shoot. lol @ the meeting after Nekoma's battle (when KajiKaji's character snooze). Also, it's been a while since he got called "king". lol~ so it was to blind them and concentrate on the main guy and to get Ace back in action. Real game begins next. Back to regular time next (and raw watching time again). |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| wooow what an amazing show! I am still shaking. |
| That was so beautiful, Kageyama never fails to impress me at how good he is, the sound track during the hole episode had such an epic feeling, especially towards the end |
| Damn absolutely amazing match so far. Great episode. Teamwork is really showing here. Those spikes.. |
 |
| this set was intense! amazing, really kageyama smirk made me smile too. best decoy ever for real! now that their moves are all out it's going to be hard to win the other sets |
 No Blood! No Bone! No Ash! |
| Very intense episode. That white hair dude is scary! Also, I really like that soundtrack played at the end of the episode. I can't wait for the rest of the match. |
| The match we've all been waiting for! The blockers' stunned faces whenever Hinata screws them over heh Aone is creepy, especially when he was all "#10!!!!", but I'm also liking him more than I thought I would. Him high-fiving the other guy lmao But the best part for me was Asahi spiking and finally overcoming the iron wall :') |

| Ahhhh, what an intense match! I'm so glad I.G. production is in charge, the animation was amazing! I was smiling almost all the time! Go Karasuno!! And lol at the preview. |
| Dateko sure is one tough nut Karasuno gogogo |
 |
| This match is so intense! The OST makes everything even more exciting to watch. The play that led up to Asahi's spike at the end was amazing. Dateko's defense is really good, but Karasuno has plenty of ways to fight back. Hinata is doing an awesome job at getting everyone's attention. |
| Its an amazing sports anime.. I have a gut feeling it has the potential to become one of the top sports anime out there which is further strengthened by each passing episode. if there's a second season ( i am not following the manga), it can even rival some of my favs especially knb .. Why so? .. well, if you are a sports enthusiast , you will see for yourselves... waiting eagerly for the next week's episode . in the meantime go and check out ping pong animation if you haven't |
| I loved this episode so much~ brilliant :D |
| That episode was awesome, their teamwork was great too. They finally broke that iron wall. |
| Great episode! Hinata's quick is really awesome every time they do that. Karasuno Girls Team was surprised after seeing that attack. I think this is their first time watching Hinata and Kageyama. Aone was really blocking those spikes. Good thing Asahi pulled that spike. It was really a boost to their spirit. |
 |
| This episode can only be described by one word: AMAZING!! |
| Really enjoyed the OST in this episode. Great episode, nice volleyball action. |
| YES, this episode. So good. i was excited the entire time, really didn't want this one to end man! Some good play by karasuna, dat quick from the back of the court, i screamed! high 5 had me laughing :D dateko aren't exactly slouches though, very close match. Happy for azumane at the end, that was a great way to end this episode. also pretty awesome when hinata said even though he didn't spike it, it felt incredible. They are really becoming a team now. it's a 10 from me :D Now idk what to do until next sunday :( |

| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| That last past with Asahi was AMAZING. This anime is just too good. |
 |
| Godly episode. The match was amazingly good. Last part with Asahai was done brilliantly. 10/5 episode |
 |
| ^ Second this. Amazing episode. I was cheering loudly for Karasuno since the very beginning of the episode, so much feelz :3 |
 |
| Wow this was one of the best episodes so far. Really exciting! The OST was great as well. I remember liking the match against Dateko in the manga when I read long ago but I don't remember it being this good. Though this match in the manga in my opinion is a little overshadowed by the match that follows (won't say whom against whom, so I don't spoil anything) that still stands as the best match of the series so far. |
| Brilliant view of the other side of the court from Asahi. Amazing animation sequences and of course the top notch OST come together to make this a 5/5 episode. |
| This episode was awesome, and this is just the beginning of the nationals. That last spike was crazy. How high did he jump?! |
| lol @ Kageyama's face when Hinata said "the best decoy ever" after Asahi's spiking. I hope it's gonna get a second series, because the animation is amazing. |
| THIS EPISODE WAS AWESOME!!!!!!! Felt like one of those special power Kuroko no Basket episodes! Danggg I seriously liked how they introduced new skills one after another. The look of amazement on the enemy team's face never ceases to please me. Hope they've got better tricks up their sleeves for the next episode. Can't wait xD 5/5 for this one~ |

| God this anime is simply amazing >.< I never want it to stop, awesome episode !! I was on the edge the whole time, nice pacing and just interesting match. I love how excited Hinata was to use the freak quick ! Asahi's last spike too hhaaaa ! This episode was too good ! |

| this was the best episode so far i had goosebumps the entire time [spoiler]  |
| :') this episode, man. Suga's reaction when he sees that Kageyama & Hinata carved an opening for Asahi... da feels man. Everything about this episode was just beautiful. So pumped for the next episode to see how Dateko will strategize now that they've seen all of Karasuno's cards..! |
| Sugoiii! I love this show for making me so pumped up every week |
 |
| Wow, super exciting episode. I love how they all think it's Hinata who's the only monster player...Kageyama sure lives up to his name. |
 |
| Probably the best episode of the season, those plays had me mindblown! That fadeaway backcourt quick pass from Kageyama and the decoy Asahi smash.. I am speechless. |
| This match is great so far. Great episode. |
 |
| INTENSE!!! |
karutamizuki said: I love the moment in episode 17 when Asahi said "that's what the other side looks like". it made my spine shiver :3.It was definitely worth saying up all night to watch! MY HEART IS STILL POUNDING LIKE CRAZY!! Yes. Yes. Yes. And YES!!!!! *cries a little From start to finish, this episode was perfect. If I tried to fit what I liked about it on this forum, I'd run out of space. Actually, I can't be bothered continuing, because I want to rewatch it again! My favourite episode of the season is still "A Toss to the Ace", but not by much XD |
| "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!" |
| Asahi's spike at the end plus the awesome soundtrack is very heartwarming! Really nice episode. So pumped up for next week. And I just love everyone's reaction everytime they see the freak quick. It just makes me smile too. |
| That was SUCH a good episode. THOSE SPIKES. Asahi finally being able to get past the blockers was so touching. asdfkjsdlkfjds I love Karasuno so much |
 |
| ROLLING THUNDER!!! AGAIN VERSION!!! Hahaha, Kageyama's, Hinata's and Tanaka's reation to Noya's awesomeness XD. I can't wait to see how this game will unfold! That's one scary teacher lol. HEAL YEAH! BREAK THE IRON WALL! Damn... that tall white haired dude is freaking good and has really good reaction speed :O Ah, reado blocks XD, now I understand! Oh c'mon, that's one amazing save that Aone dude pulled off with only one hand. Pudding head LOL. Holy crap, Hinata and Kageyama's quick was super freaking awesome! Ah, a back and forth game :3 Another freak quick! Oh look, the girl''s team is here to watch the game. Asahi got his revenge T.T I think Hinata is going to get all of dem girls at the end, since he's really good and small like a fluffy animal XD. |

Sundays can't come fast enough!!!! |
| SOOOO GOOOOD!! Epic episode :D Just seeing everybody drop their jaws at Hinata's monstrosity is soo fun to watch XD BEST DECOY IS BEAST!!! Dem Quicks always give me chills >.< And Asahi's back was amazing too ^^ Lol'd at Aone's "It's different..." ...."Their manager's hairstyle" at the end XDXDXD |
 |
| my heart went like doki-doki kyun-kyun when i watch this episode |
 |
| Fuc* why did it have to end it here, I want to see the next episode already. The intensity, teamwork, strategies, and morale, all crunch up into a perfect volleyball game :D. Kageyama and Hinata were pretty beast when teaming up, those fast toss and spiking it, damn, I was purely amazed. They managed to penetrate Dateko's Iron Wall :D. Waiting one week is beyond torture :(. |
| FANGIRL kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3!!!!!!! I have never wiggled and bounced with as much excitement!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! They were like Pattto! Zooom! KaBOOM!! huhuhuhuhuhuhu XD Never knew what hit 'em! WHOOOSH--WHAM!! kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha!!!! <3 XD |

I think the soundtrack is my favorite part. Can't wait till the OST comes out. That scene with Asahi in the back was great. |
| Gah that Asahi spike was stunning. Then Hinata saying that he felt incredible for allowing Asashi to finally see beyond the wall. What a great cast of characters. There are slow build-ups here and there but the payoff in moments like that are so worth it. More like the 'quiet but full of impact' type of thing. |
