The art was so amazingly detailed and consistent it was almost scary.

How will this game last 8 episodes?

Tsukishima's brother said that this game will be 5 sets since they're in the finals. That's how it'll go on for 8 episodes.

Best start of the fall season and probably best show of the season, even if it will be only 10 episodes...

I really liked how it was done, and even if I've read the manga for this match against Shiratori, I'm so excited !!

Not really fond of the opening but I don't really care, this show is great !

Great first episode. I was a little worried because I thought s2 ep1 was a bit dull (compared to the rest), but this was funny.
Does anyone know which chapters this adapted? And what chapter is the manga on now?


This particular episode adapted Chapter 150 and 151. The arc will most probably adapt 150 - 190 if they'll adapt celebrations and a bit more . And the latest chapter of the manga is 225 .

Nishinoya and Tanaka are so cool. I can't wait for next episode. This is perfect, and i waited such a long time for this. I'm so happy!

I'm so glad that Akiteru come. I still wait for Little Giant. I hope he will come and see how they play. I'm still sad because this is only match against Shiratorizawa.

OP & ED 10/10! Perfect!

i feel bad for u people who watch it weekly. Gonna wait til it ends.

Wow, the episode caught the atmosphere of final well.

OP/ED and weren't as great S2 :c

Loved how they emphasize on the introduction of members of both the teams as commentator calls them out one by one.
And I just can't get enough of the cheering phrases different teams come up with in Haikyuu. They look so enchanting! I always found myself humming and repeating after them haha.

Great beginning to the new season, was hoping they wouldn't start off to slow but the build-up overall was nice. I'm going to have to watch the episode again before the next one airs cause I'm pretty sure I missed something about the whole "Hello Left". Did they mention that at all at throughout the episode or that to keep us wondering for next time?

Great start. Should be an epic match if the whole season is dedicated to it. Really love that hand-slapping scene. It showed off all the characters' personalities. Neat little details like that are really cool.

Good to see Tanaka's older sister again. She's so hot.

Ushijima is so stiff, it's funny. I bet he's just a gentle giant.

Tsutomu is like. Hinata and Kageyama's lovechild lol

Also did I say that I adore the OP? Coz I do. Competes Leo from first season. The ED is nice, too.
I'm glad this is back--9/10

It's back, Haikyuu S3
This will be the most intense battle in Haikyuu with 5 sets.
The OP is great and kinda like it. Tanaka and Nishinoya are hillarious as always.
Kiyoko-chan is cute when she said "Do your best" (in Tanaka and Nishinoya dream XD)

Great episode! Loved every second of it, and the match was shown only for like a minute or something. The way Karasuno guys were high-fiving perfectly reflected their personalities, aww :3 And man, Ushijima is such a hunk! It'll be hard NOT to root for him!
Also, totally didn't expect that there are going to be 5 sets this time, now ten episodes feel a bit short to cover that. Oh well, I believe that pacing is going to be good.

Visuals are great as always, so is the new op&ed. It still hasn't reached my beloved Tenchi Gaeshi level though <3

Honestly I wasn't too impressed by this first episode. There were a whole lot of little scenes that just didn't have to be in there at all. I'm kind of afraid they're going to literally make this ENTIRE season just this one game. Imagine how dragged out that would be... Ten entire episodes, dedicated to a single match. That's 200 minutes, far longer than most movies, for ONE volleyball match. I'm afraid this is going to drag like crazy and get really boring... Lots of like, flashbacks and monologues and stuff...

Thanks! So this means we probably have enough material for another season after this one ends.


It's a bit slow after this battle, but the manga is going great.

Good start, loved how they made the whole thing feel official with even player announcements. Looks like it'll only be 10 eps, if it's only covering 1 game i suppose that's okay.

Plenty of other shows gets an immediate 10 after 1st ep, some reviews gives immediate 10s after just 3 ep of a 25 ep long show, so what does it matter? Is it because it managed to get a spot in the top 10 on a meaningless list?

I loved it! I'm a huge fan of the series and will be crossing my fingers for a 4th season. The Noya and Tanaka moment absolutely cracked me up. Ah, the bromance of the century. Also glad to see the Shiratorizawa babies finally animated! Hyped for
Was surprised at Ushijima having so many fangirls, because of how socially awkward (I think he might be autistic) he is, but then again, he is in the top 3 aces in the country. Overall 10/10 and did i mention I love Leon Oohira
