Oh, the ED is drawn by the mangaka (it seems) nice! Guess Karasuno vs Aoba is hyped again. Eh, I want some other team to be hyped, like Shiratorizawa. Or this season is not gonna cover Shiratorizawa vs Karasuno?


if he does i hope he doesn't anymore. the characters got really ugly fast lol.

thank God that the OP changed, i would have screamed if it was the same boring one. as for the new OP itself, it's alright, i never really liked haikyuu's OPs, but anything is better than the first one. i don't understand the tune of the ED; i'll have to listen next ep.

ANYWAYS.....

that moment when he

and he


have the same voice actor. and i am a rabid fan of both. i know i shouldn't think this but i really want seijoh to win instead lol. oikawa is the most special and unique character in this story, and his schoolmates seem more chilled and knowledgeable than the newblet karasuno. i love karasuno believe me, but seijoh has a ton more appeal, which is hilarious ironically since i was nearly brought to tears when karasuno lost in the previous season.
will be sad when seijoh loses ;_;

besides that, glad to see the moeness of yachan was significantly toned down. too bad i have a feeling that it won't stay that way.

oh and sleazy smile tsukki ftw.

I don't know why, but watching Haikyuu always make me happy? Like the lovable characters and OST and everything? Pardon me for typing like Tumblr or Twitter but that's how I feel watching Haikyuu.

The new opening plus Tsukki's effort level slowly rising made for a great episode!

New OP and ED are great. Plus poor Hinata bumping into Oikawa and the others when he only wanted to go to the bathroom lol. Tsukishima's smirk will be the end of me OTL OTL

Just as I thought the episode couldn't get any more lit, the ED started playing.
The visuals and song were just urrrrggggghhhh. So good *___*
I think my brain short circuited.

Gonna be really interesting to see how this Mad Dog dude mixes things up in Seijoh's matches.

One thing I love about Haikyuu is the build-up. It's not like these random teams just pop up out of nowhere and disappear as soon as they get beat once...most of them get development, they have re-matches, and the other teams have rivalries and relationships outside of that with the characters in Karasuno.

Comedy is also on point, as usual. Lmao at Hinata wedged between all these 6ft tall guys XD

So first match is against Johzenji, who're basically a team of hustlers. The typical jock team if there ever was one...I can just see them as the frat guys in college lol
I do like their overall aesthetic though, and I can't deny that Terushima is exactly my type in the looks department. Unfortunately. that tongue piercing just does it for me

Ofc they're gonna lose because we gotta have that Seijoh vs. Karasuno rematch, but I really hope they don't just end up as a fodder team & we do actually see them on a regular basis like Seijoh, Nekoma, Date Tech etc.

ALSO I WAS UKAI THIS EPISODE
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU TSUKKI ^///^

This show is awesome. The new OP was good but man I cannot explain how much I love the ED. It showed the tale of falling to Oikawa and Seijoh at the end of last season and the journey back up, the refusal to give up, and finally the rematch. It was meaningful, the song was awesome, and it was done in a really cool manga style! All black and white but the team colors and cool animation with it. One watch and it was already in my favorite ED's ever!

Tsukki and Yachi have developed so much, more so to Tsukki.

On the Yachi side of things she's gotten so comfortable with everyone. Remember how scared she was when she first joined with Karasuno. Now she can advise Kageyama on his disguise and recommend him and Hinata save the urge to hit more balls until their game. She feels so at home with them already. :)

With Tsukki on the other hand it's obvious to see his change! Ever since that confrontation with Yamaguchi he's been working hard to improve. This episodes inspiration was Hinata badgering him to make sure he can block Ushikawa. It was nice to see him actively seek out help from Ukai and go play with his brothers college team. He hasn't actively tried this hard before! He even bowed to Bokuto. And, when he got that block using his timing and positioning he had a little smile on his face... little may be understating it.
Sure, I may be over reading this but I think that was a sign he's getting good enough to enjoy playing like Bokuto mentioned not so long ago. I also loved the line where Tsukki's brother told him it's not only when he loses that it's obvious, to me, telling him he can tell he enjoys winning just as much as he despises losing somewhere in him.

I really sincerely love Kageyama. He's such a super dweeb. He's done so much to be a dweeb already, like arguing over the setter being cooler than the ace, drinking juice boxes angrily, and many more, but this time his whole spying journey where he wanted to barge into the school dressed like this was hysterical.
More than that, the way he lost his cool trying to look natural was great too. The only word that describes Kageyama best is dweeb and I love it. You can even see his dweebdom deep in his relationship with Hinata, racing to win at everything, clean up balls, get to the gym, in literally any way they can.

Yamaguchi got a float serve that Noya couldn't receive?!!! Is he finally going to get his turn in the spot light!

The final scene was funny with Hinata running into all those giants. It was a reminder of how sweet Aone was too. :)

Lastly, the crowd chants for each team are always an exciting part. I've been waiting for one to surpass GO GO, LET'S GO, LET'S GO DATEKO!

Swageyama, xD!

Awesome to see Tsukki showing some more grit and interest into it now! He's been stealing much of the screentime so far so here's to hoping we see an awesome moment of him during one of the matches!

Lol, the eventful bathroom though. Quite the timing as well. Lol @ that Dateko's blocker being totally clueless. And damn, Nishinoya and Tanaka literally stopped mid-air lmao.

Anyways, new Op & ED and sadly both are a bit underwhelming than the preceding ones. Damn, those visuals though, looks like there's going to be a matchup against Seijoh. I wonder if we will see them again in the finale, and this time prevailing sounds pretty darn cool! With that said though, they're most likely going to be much tougher now thanks to the return of Mad Dog.

Lol everytime Hinata goes to the bathroom shit always happens. Anyway those Johzenji guys will be a little bit of a challenge but I'm sure Karasuno's the ones who will be "playing" them huehuehehue.

Nice new OP and ED.

This is going to be so amazing. The talk between Karasuno, Shiratorizawa and Aoba Johsai was 10/10. Can't say I like this ending but the opening is amazing. It's Burnout Syndrome, 90% of the times the opening is amazing.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

New OP and ED are amazing, one of my favorite eds now and the op is just iconic.

This show somehow managed to get me hyped up about Karasuno facing Seijou after we are supposed to have seen all of their tricks, this is pretty amazing. That being said, Tsukishima's continued development was the high point of this episode for me.

The new OP is fine I guess, and the ED too - honestly I can't blame them for not topping the previous ED, I think that it's hardly possible to even make something as good.

from some reason i have feeling haikyuu comedy took long break, and only now resumed.

i really missed dateko's "song" xD
seems we gonna have lots of rivals here. dunno though how karasuno going to play against all(?).

like the opening, was much better than the previous one. maybe even the best of all haikyuu's openings.
the ed was nice too.

The new OP and ED are both great!

I love Tsukki's smirk when he blocks lol.
And Kageyama trying to sneak out wearing that outfit was hilarious.
Oh and Yamaguchi! Good float serve! Can't wait to see him play in an official match.

Hinata's bathroom visits are as memorable as ever.

Always loving Tsukki´s evolution, he is getting a lot of attention this season. I wish they also mentioned Nishinoya more but maybe in the future eps? Jouzenji the party team :D

the fruits of all of their labor is paying off.

tsukki is getting good and he'll get some sick glasses probably that won't hurt him if they hit him. what a nice thing from his brother
