I am the bone of my hype!!
Whoops. Wrong anime lol.

But man, when an episode leaves you wanting to write essays on its greatness, it must have done something right. Actually, make that everything.

Really, I'm just glad that this episode was consistent with Season 1's style. It felt right. It felt like the Haikyuu I know.

Being an AO, I hope they include skipped scenes later on. Production I.G. pls. We have faith in you!

Probably the only anime where on MAL Episode Discussions I see > 90% rating pretty much every episode 5/5

Jhuupannnuhh!!!

I don't think words can really convey how happy I am right now!!! I want to announce from the rooftops that HQ!! is back. I really can't contain all the Fukurodani, Ushijima, and Seijou hype!! My girls Yacchan and Saeko are to make their debut next week, I can't wait :D

Lowkey sad that the OP didn't have any Oikawa though. Understandable, since he won't have much screen time for a while, but still.

It's to be expected from a sequel of a show of this nature. Everyone is pretty much assuming it'll be roughly the same as the first season in terms of quality so people are giving it the same score as S1 already, plus some sequel effect as well

That was a smooth entrance into the second season. Pacing was brilliant and the animation flawless [That practice match between Karasuno was beautiful].

Also, yesss, my favourite part of the manga is about to be animated: TOKYO TRAINING CAMP! All the references to it in the OP made me so dang happy! Episode two actually features one of my ultimate, favourite panels of the manga so I'm excited. Plus Yachi! Gonna be great to finally see her animated.

I am so hyped for this series!

Yeah, we're actually up to the part of the manga that slows down on volleyball matches and instead focuses on developing Karasuno's skills, physical endurance, team cohesion, etc. It slows the vibe/pace of the manga a tad, but it comes with character development for the other Karasuno boys [+ some other characters], so it's really worth it! I like that the progress of the Haikyuu! boys feels somewhat realistic.

Brb, got mauled by the beautiful animation *_*

I was debating whether to watch this at all since I started reading the manga after the first season, but who am I kidding, these kids are too adorable to miss.

Hinata's cat pupils remind me of Akashi from Kurobasu :P

Uh-oh, looks like two dynamic duos are going to have to spend a little more time on academics. Takeda-sensei is not amused D:

Yes, its finally back, one of my favourite sports anime is here.
I was constantly smiling seeing the guys in action especially Hinata being genki like always.
OP and ED are really catchy looking forward for Single releases.
I still cant get over how small guys like Tsuki look especially if he is the same size as this guy:

I'm not quite sure if it was my eyes just be biased, but the animation seemed really top-notch in this premiere. Every moment was amazing. What a way to come back!

Ushiwaka is freakishly boring himself, so I guess it matches.

It's great to have Haikyuu back. The training camp arc is gonna be real fun. Although some of the team idiots have to pass those exams first before they can even think of going
