| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice episode. Loved the new theme song and the episode didn't waste much time with some of the gameplay. It was so refreshing seeing Hinata and his team again on the field. I also thought it was really neat to some of the comedy again too! My favorite parts would be like with this guy:  It's cute seeing Shimizu-senpai again. |
 |
| Nice Receive! Again:D If this lasts half a year , Its going to be great! Looking forward to all the matches and competitions |

| Memory of losing against NamiDai's character's team. It seems like new members including new manager are joining according to the OP. Practice time. A chance to go to Tokyo for a series of practice games (including KajiKaji's character's team). Nobu's pissed voice doesn't sound like him when not actually looking at the anime!! (when reading NamiDai's character's interview on the magazine) lol~ HiroC's character's face depressed over students' test scores that it became so scary! lol @ those main two as always. So competitive of each other. Wow, new character! I like the intermission music from first season, though... Main guy getting excited for the enemy's school (winning NamiDai's character's team at final last time) is lol. They are strong that they get university teams for practice game, though. The new character looks up to NamiDai's character more than king guy. The new character's comment (discriminating) angered main guy and became serious. The game and final exam at the same time?! Such a twist (pressure). And HiroC's so seriously scary when telling that. That is for next ep. Both OP & ED songs are nice. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Awesome episode, though it did seem to cover from chp 71 to 77. I wonder why they picked and chose scenes and rearranged them (for example the lets go to Tokyo is 72 but the recon with Ushiwaka is 77 (and had Yachi there, but not in this). I hope they go back adn cover those scenes skipped over, though it did make a good order. Personally was excited over everything, the opening volleyball game was epic, TsukkiKage banter there was phenomenally pleasing, and the Oikawa line in the magazine to Ushiwaka's obsession with Oikawa. I want a Ushiwaka v OIkawa rematch, as well as Shiratorizawa v Karasuno. s3 when. ED song is awesome and Yachi in it too. |

I love this guy is full of enthusiasm hinata red hair :D |
| Good episode. OP/ED is decent (seems quite indistinguishable from the first season's) and it's nice to see the characters moving forward, although facing some upcoming trouble. |
 |
| Here comes my favorite anime of the season!!! :D |
| My heart was pounding a lot but finally its out. The episode was as good as I expected. the small scene with nekoma was hilarious, as was how the music stops later on when takeda talks about the training camp and exams i wish they didnt change how kageyama and hinata met ushijima though |

| Haikyuu is back! A great way to start the episode. I can't wait to see Yachi in the next episode. <33 |
| The hype at the end, bruh, Hinata with THE FACE! D: Great to see Haikyuu back, episode didn't disappoint, it got me right back in with volleyball action and seeing all major characters again. Abrupt cutoff with the music when the tests were mentioned...perfect xD |

| I'm so happy that Haikyuu is back! Very promising first episode. The comedy was great and the faceoff with Ushiwaka was pretty intense. Really love the ED. Galileo Galilei <3 |
| that was a great way to start of the new season - the episode was amazing! and i'm so happy haikyuu is back and i can't wait to see what this season has in store for us! |
| Hinata and Kageyama are back, is once again have a great desire to play volleyball: 3 |
| Saying that I am happy to see this back doesn't seem to do it justice! Off to a great start already. The thing with their test scores, and how Take-sensai got overwhelmed by reality, with the follow up gloom showed by the few prospective members. Hinata and Kageyama managing to get Ushiwaka that fired up. Looking forward to those practise matches! |
 |
| Aw man what a hype episode :D Glad its back again! |
| It's back! Oh yea. This season is looking better and better even when I knew that for 100% I will be watching and enjoying a lot out of this one. It's also appears perfectly when Baby steps finished to fill in the gap in sports anime :). |
| It's nice to be able to see all these familiar faces again. This anime is still as hilarious as ever, especially when Takeda paused for like 5 seconds before falling into a state of existential despair, and when Nishinoya, Tanaka, Hinata, and Kageyama got singled out by him. I really liked it when Hinata got serious and put on that killer face when he caught the ball in front of Ushijima. This anime got off to a great start and I'm looking forward to the next episode (and the rest of the season for that matter). Also, the OP and ED weren't half bad. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| AOTS is finally here and lives up to the expectations. It was a great first episode indeed and everything was beautifuly well done but it still made me sad the way they changed the order of events. I thought Yachi would make her debut right from the start but I guess not.. I'm so freaking out because of the ED,Galileo Galilei fits really good. |
| AAAH it was great! (same, I wonder why they put the meeting with Ushijima in the first episode...) but overall it was up to my expectations. |
| Good stuff |
| Hinata's serious face gives me chills! He's just too adorable. Great first episode, didn't disappoint at all! Can't wait to see what awesomeness happens next :D |
| Animation is epic as usual. Sasuga Production I.G. And HQs music is just too good. Just gotta love Tobio and Hinata's interactions XD Hinata's friggin cat eyes stare always give me chills!! And the jump and declaration followed by Ushikawa smiling in excitement was EPIC! That's how u do a first impression. Hinata and Kageyama nailed it ^^ The way the music cut after they heard final exams was so lol And From the OP it's clear that the whole 1sr cour will be about the training camp so the pacing should be awesome. |
 |
| YAY so happy this got a 2nd season. The OP song is great as well as the ED song. Gotta say this was an awesome episode. Love everyones determination especially Hinata and Kageyama. Love how Hinata catches the ball right in front of Wakatoshi. So awesome. Cannot wait to see more volleyball and the new characters. Lol gotta pass the final exams before they can go training in Tokyo. |

| YASSSSSSSSSSS 2ND SEASON SO READY FOR IT!! Can't wait for Bokuto and Akaashi <3 First episode didn't disappoint and picked up from where they left off. Ushiwaka was great and omg their faces when Take-chan glared at them hahaha Loving the OPED as well, can't wait for everything that's to come! |
| That was goddamn great, the ED is beautiful |
 |
| Shitty boy!!!! :D :D :D I just love how tanaka is pronouncing that. |
 |
| I have waited for this for a long time! I'm cuddled up under my blanket and constantly hitting refresh to download the episode. The start of this new season is awesome! The animation has improved much more this time too, and I love the vibrant colors! :D Kageyama and Hinata are back, and so are their stupid actions! There were some changes from the manga, but it was still awesome! Can't stop laughing about them two. I love these panels in the manga but this is awesome! Can't wait for their match!  |
| Fucking awesome first ep to the second season. Hinata and Kageyama really got Ushiwaka fired up. Dat jump thoo! 10/5 |
 |
| I almost cried while watching this episode.....It feels so good to have these guys be back apart of my anime watching life again In all honesty there isn't anything to say other than the fact that this entire episode was 10/10, absolutely amazing I can't wait for the practice matches as well as the inevitable rematch with my fucking boy Oikawa and that Japan dude |
| Oh yeah, Spyair opening once again, and Galileo Galilei for ED! The OP and ED sequences themselves were really good too. It was a nice first episode, I enjoyed the return of Haikyuu and its comedy and fun characters. Hinata's face though was quite scary. I love how he introduced himself as Hinata Shouyou, a concrete from Karasuno. Also the imagery was really pretty. |
| This was such a great introduction to the new season!!! I really missed watching all the characters moving around. I forgot how bloody fast Hinata is though, that speed is something unholy. |
 |
| IT WAS PERFECT FROM START TO FINISH. I have been waiting for this show. Def. top of the list for me this season. I love how they got right back in. The boys are the same and I just missed them so much! CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODE!!!!!!! I AM A BELIEVER THAT THIS SEASON WILL BE AMAZING |
| yisssss haikyuu! is back!!! i almost cried lol, my girl Yachi next week <3 |
| Words can't describe how happy I am |
Great to see the everyone back again.  I freaking love Hinata's rape face.  |

 |
| Hype! Really like the Opening of Spyair. As expected they delivered. Really like that Yachi is gonna make her appearance soon. >.< And that jump in the end. Can't wait for the next one. |

| I love it! I love this series so much! Leafeon-chan said: Words can't describe how happy I am +1 |
| I'M SO FUCKING PUMPED FOR THIS SEASON Takeda going full Shinji from NGE was brilliant, couldn't stop laughing. Time to freeze myself until the next episode!  |
 |
| Nice buildup here for the new season. I wonder if this episode is friendly to new watchers, as it doesn't really recap much of the first season. It's nice to have Ushijima make a proper appearance, after being referenced but not really shown many times. |
| Haikyuu hype!!! Dat Hinata stare was badass. Ending was hilarious XD |
 |
| OMG <333333 |
| I CAN FEEL THE HYPE |
