----------------------------------------
I think match has a steady pace. It's nice to see Tsukki he should take off those glasses off more often compete seriously. On another note, I found it interesting that the camera focused slowly on some of the plays in particular first half of the episode.

Scores picked up pretty fast.

Lol, the nosebleed. Priceless. Loved the amount of energy this episode as usual. Interesting to see a little bit of background story too.

Johzenji is pretty energetic. Misaki's role as the manager fits really well, trying to get them to focus on playing rather than having fun. Nice episode.

I really like Johzenji's enthusiasm

So far the match went pretty much in Karasuno's favor with everyone putting in work, however the star of this episode is without a doubt Daichi and I love his role in this match right now

Looks like it's gonna be a whole different game now though, so here's to a more competitive round.....I died when Tanaka and Nishinoya tried to get Kiyoko to scold and spank them xDD

Daichi impressed me, very good match from him until now.

Kageyama got hit in the face XDD

I hope that the match will be a bit more competitive now, it honestly wasn't the best to watch.

Misaki is <3 Gotta love how Noya and Ryu wanted some scolding and spanking from Kiyoko lololol

Daichi was definitely the MVP so far. U need someone to keep their cool in a match with crazies like this XD Dat Hinata spiderman was so cool. And it's amazing how unstoppable the quick is. They just can't do shit about it.

Loving the difference in levels. Karasuno aren't having it THAT easy but they're still winning quite comfortably. They need to be at that level at least to be able to win against Aoba Jousai and Shiratorizawa with no BS coughcoughRakuzanvsSeirencoughcough

Some nice moments like Tsukki getting new sports glasses. Hinata's "Kageyama don't die" and Johzenji trying the syncro. They're real fun ^^

Johzenji's happy go lucky style was enjoyable, especially how they just waved off Hinata's attack on an otherwise important issue to deliberate.

Daichi sure is reliable, even Johzenji feels it!

Now that they're fired up, looking forward to it. But, boy, was there lots of mistakes in their plays.

I said it before and I'll say it again, Tanaka and Noya are going to kill me one day. That was fucking hilarious when they asked Kiyoko to scold them, but I was in tears when they reacted to her saying "spank." I also thought it was funny how some of the Johzenji guys reacted to their manager saying "spank" (and even Hinata, or should I say Mini Spider Man, reacted lol).

I think this episode really showed a difference between how Karasuno plays vs. how Johzenji plays. Johzenji plays recklessly while Karasuno is more calculated, but I liked the energy and excitement that the former brought to the match. The remainder of this game should be exciting though, since it seems like Johzenji's manager finally talked some sense into them. They look fired up.

Another great episode. Love this show so much.
Johzenji is pretty unpredictable, but so is Karasuno.
Hinata's spider man technique off the wall was pretty cool.
Always love seeing Kageyama and Hinata's super quick attack.
Lol Johzenji trying to go for a synchronized attack.
Cool to see Narita given some spotlight to play in the game and Daichi sure is a great captain.
Tanaka and Nishinoya wanting to get scolded and spanked by Shimizu was so funny.
Next week the continuation of the 2nd set.

This is really enjoyable. I love the Johzenji's style of play for this match against Karasuno. I'm liking Daichi in this episode more, the way he handles the team more calmly and being supportive to his team is just phenomenonal. And I love the scene when Tanaka and Nishinoya asked Kiyoko to scold them and when Kiyoko said that she's not spanking them, it made laugh so hard that I run out of breath for this scene. Judging by the preview for the next episode next week, its gonna be pretty intense and I can't wait for it.

Really cool to see Karasuno try something new with Suga and Narita (about time he plays on the court)

Misaki giving Johzenji a scolding was also a great highlight (don't underestimate the managers y'all)

Terushima calling Daichi boring, then getting spiked by him was awesome too

Can't wait to see the rest of the match

As expected, fuckboi team does w/e the hell they want with little care for the consequences, putting personal enjoyment over everything else. Good thing they ended up against a team that's competent enough to handle their inpredictability and their manager used this occasion to give them a much needed reality check (it was also wholly satisfying to see Daichi make Terushima eat his words about Karasuno's captain being boring: srsly, like... stfu, dude).
After that well deserved spanking, I fully expect Johzenji to give Karasuno a run for their money, even if their defeat is inevitable.

Ikr? The show's comedy has been rock solid since the first episode of season 1, and it has never dropped in quality.
It also seems like this show (especially in season 2) found the perfect balance between drama, comedy, downtime and hype moments. It's almost crazy how strong the writing is.

Nishinoya & Tanaka need help. I love them so much.

I like their opponents! Their attempt at doing a synchronized attack was funny. Even though they're carefree they have a lot of potential & could be very dangerous. Daichi was amazing this week, he's probably the most reliable member of Karasuno & that's saying something. Also, mini-Spideman for the win.

Daichi did a really good job this episode. Great captain!

Kageyama is the truth. They literally had to push him off the court after that nosebleed haha. He and Hinata simply can't be off the court.

Johzenji's inexperience was displayed really well, especially that comical attempt at trying to do the synchronized attack after just seeing it once. The manager's breakthrough was much needed. Though I still see our boys taking them out 2-0, no contest.

Haikyuu is simply a gem, meshes in all the elements with real spirit. Also looking at Karasuno from the first season to now, you can honestly say everyones' development so far has been thorough and genuine. I love how they are always carefully observing other teams too (examining banners for example).

The eye-popping animation in this episode managed to look greater than usual, I.G never disappoints.

Good episode. I loved their energy, there's nothing wrong with focusing on the game, being serious and having fun at the same time. Just being serious will turn you into a dull boy like Kageyama.

I've honestly re-watched this whole episode like 5 times. I really liked how they included the supporting characters with Sugawara's appearance. But I'm still anticipating from that time at the camp when Sugawara practiced with the others to spike some, WHAT IS THE NEXT COG?! I hope they show it on the next ep when Johzenji is getting serious!

Megane guy got new glasses from his brother. The enemy team is having fun even if it is a game. No pressure at all. Poor setter guy for that bleeding nose.

Miyu-Miyu's character finally (for a bit, though) because of that. Wow, they copied the new group skill just because it looks so cool. Captain being supportive. It is the enemy team's turn to get nervous, and the manager scolded them.

Game continues as they got serious. 27:22 next.

I really love how the adaptation's going so smoothly up to now. I'm a bit afraid for the upcoming episodes, though. I hope it won't be rushed (But seeing how the anime has been loyal to the manga since season 1, I think I won't have much to worry about).

I caught up with the manga not too long ago. I was planning to finish the season before reading the manga (as I usually do), but I became impatient after hearing too many spoilers.

I really love the play style of Johzenji! I've been excited to see their play animated. They're so lively, watching them makes me want to jump from my chair too xD


PS I love how Futakuchi looks so fab here:



Tanaka and Noya's reactions make best photo comments as usual xD
