| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It seems Kageyama had a plan this episode and with the match reaching its climax, Karasuno needs every move to count. A lot of gameplay this episode and the score is so close between both teams. This imo, is the best episode of the arc/season. Karasuno motivated by their desire to win and the support of everyone made the episode so exciting. |
 |
| That many people attack failed. captain vs. proper guy. Pressure of losing soon? Setter guy trying to get deliquent-looking guy to get his true strength. NamiDai's character frustrated hearing the game. Both match point. Very long winning point. Two more eps. |

| Seeing Oikawa for 20 seconds has really made my day ^^ Best 20 seconds of the whole season |

| hinata has been a ball of energy this whole game, like mf is literally bang energy drink on moms |
| damn... guess 1 more episode till the game ends |
 |
| Back to back amazing episodes in the final moments of this match. This is what I’m talking about! |
| Great episode. The match is so close. Even though we all know you will win, it still doesn't stop the excitement. Now we only have two episodes before the end of this season. |
 |
| Absolutely fantastic episode. The episode was over before I even realized it. Ttons of great plays and moments from both teams. There's too much to even describe. Just fantastic, the directing and production is so on point for these final few episodes. Loving all this energy and Hinata just smiling at Kageyama when he covered for him. So good, Atsumu saying he was moved was great too. Also, Oikawa getting frustrated after watching Kageyama's beautiful set to Tanaka was glorious. xD |
 |
| This episode was really good! I know everyone was freaking out about Oikawa and while he's one of my favorite characters from this show people hyped his appearance wayyyy to much.. Other than that there were some amazing plays! Tanaka's line shot, Noya's save, Hinata's save at the end with his foot! I was getting the chills when I saw those! I also love seeing Atsumu's interest in Hinata. :) |
 |
| Not gonna lie I felt so freaking pressured on this episode. THis really reminds me too much of the matches of Aoba Johsei and Shiratorizawa. Dang man. |
| This episode feels like the beginning of the end. Well since its the 10th episode and they're in a deuce, this episode is like the starting point of an (probably) insane rally towards the end of the season. |

| Tanaka's line shot was dope! Cool episode, but looked kinda outsorced here and there. |

Also, Oikawa getting frustrated after watching Kageyama's beautiful set to Tanaka was glorious. xD Absolutely, this was an incredible episode throughout with too many moments that would be considered highlights in other anime. I mean even the simple stuff like Tsukki reflecting instead of roasting or just a fired up Oikawa had me grinning. Then we had Kita's speech or the Hina Kageyama moment at the end. What got me most was Tanaka's line-shot (credits to Kageyama too) and Sakeo nee-san close to tears, tho. Damn, that was touching. Overall just wow, Haikyuu is on fire and it feels amazing. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| GO TANAKA GO this episode made me very happy |
 |
| It finally feels like I’m watching a sports anime instead of a compilation of backstories. |
 |
| This match is getting tense as hell, can't wait for more. |
| Well, I was hyped for this episode...didn't really live up to what I was expecting though. Few good moments in this episode like Tanaka's crazy line shot and Hinata's amazing save with his leg but nothing else really stood out to me. When it was match point it didn't really feel like match point, probably cause there's still more to come. Oikawa got some screen time...what happened to his face... Well, I'm still excited for next weeks episode! Good episode :) |
 |
| I liked the captain dynamic this ep. Oikawa, what team are you supporting?? lol, it was a treat to see the Great King. Kita is amazing. Really love when he talks, although I don’t really understand what he’s saying... Respect to him. Tanaka had a crazy line shot! Still kinda like the cut shot more though— but that’s probably cause of the development he got that episode. Actually this season really has highlighted Tanaka, and has done it very well. Kageyama and Atsumu vying for best setter throughout this entire season. Atsumu at the end 😭 was awesome. Two more eps... |
 |
Yeah art and animation this season is definitely terrible for the most part. But the character development and volleyball sakuga is definitely there. It’s definitely Haikyu. |

lugia_45 said: The animation was awful and the soundtracks were all over the place. Not sure how the rest rate it so high. I agree but the characters and match is incredible, so that’s probably why it’s rated highly. |
|
| The animation was disturbing this ep ... I really hope the next season will be handle way better than this one ... this match was my fav in the manga .. I'm a little disappointed =( |
AcbSnakeDemon said: Yeah art and animation this season is definitely terrible for the most part. But the character development and volleyball sakuga is definitely there. It’s definitely Haikyu. Yes I agree, character development and story in this season is awesome. But I wouldn't call animation "terrible". It surely isn't as good as it used to be and the art-style is often very inconsistent, but it still has a lot of great scenes like Hinata's receive and such. The best thing is that new Haikyuu still gives me a lot of thrill and excitement. |
| This was just as intense as the previous episode. Kageyama's serves were amazingly precise, Hinata's foot receive was surprising, and of course Tanaka's sharp straight was unbelievable. They're really giving it their all, while Inarizaki is also extremely good. I wonder whether this deuce will continue until 27-30 points or if Karasuno will get the one decisive point next. Oikawa's cameo appearance made me so happy, I've missed him and the rest of Aoba Johsai T_T |
| Amazing episode again. Why do I have this nagging feeling though that Karasuno is gonna lose this match :( |
| All that ear hype just for a few seconds of salty scenes of Oikawa lol... And the match goes on, but next week will finally determine the winner. Finally. At this point it seems like they’re dragging the match. I mean, why don’t they ever finish a game with 25 points? Why is it always a close win/lose with the 2 point advantage thing? |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Last week was a great episode, this one was... eh. Maybe it's cause the match is that dragged out now (even though I knew it's going the full season), but the episode fell flat this time around, and the visuals while not the worst this show has showcased this season, does still feel somewhat cheap again, even reused some sequences too at times. The direction overall this season has been really, really sloppy and its beyond just the visuals and the outsourcing, the whole feel and pace of the match feels off too lacking grip and intensity except for two episodes for me. |
| Another great episode! Looks like the match will end next episode finally lmao. |

LMAO I KNOW RIGHT EVERYONE GOT SO EXCITED TO SEE OIKAWA BUT THEN- also i think it went into a deuce just to showcase that Inarizaki is not a team that karasuno can beat easily, and whenever a match against a powerhouse school goes into a third set and THEN a deuce, i think it showcases just how high level the athletes are meant to be and how we shouldnt think for a second that beating them is not going to take some work. I get that. I really get that, but every single important match somewhat ends the same way so I can’t help but think that they’re dragging things out on purpose. Like ok we got the message but irl not every hard match ends the same way... (yeah the word I’ve been looking for is deuce thanks for reminding lol) And when Karasuno loses a set they lose it with a high point difference like 16-25 but they never win any set that way lol |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| OMG I am on the edge of my seat. They have to make it to play Nekoma. T-T Loved the episode and the title for the next episode is very promising. Kageyama is just a force to be reckoned with. And him shouting at Hinata to complain at the end was just ace. <3 And the Tanaka/Kageyama back and forth resulting in that amazing line shot and Tsuki saying he didn't jump high enough.... ahhh such a good episode. It had all the things! |

Yea this ep just like......exists. I really just makes me wish they brought back all the old animation staff from the previous three seasons. I can understand the covid19 chaos still ongoing right now, but excuses can only do so much even if they’re justified. Alas, not everything works out that conveniently in the entertainment industry. |
 |
| Episode was looking pretty rough. Not as bad as the infamous episode 2, but you can see the quality shift all over the place. And more than the animation, you can tell the storyboard was suffering. A receive cuts to a last. A spike to the right of two blockers cuts to a spike in between the two blockers. It's a real shame. |
 |
| Another fire episode full of excitement. The progression of this match felt stagnant throughout the season but in this final stretch of episodes, things have really picked up. I'm assuming the match will end in the next episode and I can't wait to see the rest. |
| 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. |
| Glad we saw oikawa and his blue earbuds, I’ve been waiting all week. He be looking as great as ever :)) that kid though lmaoo Hinata coming in with that noya move, huh OKAY I SEE YOU Loving the mindsets, wish I had one like that Kageyama has been hitting different lately...in a good way ofc Really glad Tanaka is getting so much attention, he’s always been my favorite karasuno player, and one of my favorites in general. Nobody ever notes that fact that he is the only player to have been in EVERY. SINGLE. MATCH. This show is now a 5/10. I wanted this match to be over at least two episodes ago. Not that I’m not enjoyed it, but as Tanaka would say,”chop, chop man bun!!” Imo, anime should be on the faster paced side....But no, they just have to go on and on with the side conversations and commentaries with this one. Ily kita, but if you had just stayed quiet it would have been done with. I loved what u had to say, but now isn’t the the time bby Let’s see what’s in store for the next two episodes...although I’m pretty upset, ngl I’m excited as fuck to see the results ahh I can’t wait to see it animated |
