| So far - the best thing which happened this season. I loved Take-chan and exam panic... I'm curious about next episode, it seems that they will study really hard and it will be more than funny ;D Ushijima and his farm speech, it was marvelous. |
| Really have been waiting to long for this. So happy it's finally here. |
| KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Honestly everything was absolutely perfect. I'm happy :> |
 (THIS WAY FOREVER) |
| I"M SO GLAD TO SEE JA PON — I MEAN USHIWAKA ;_____; |
| Feels good to be alive lel :D |

| Haikyuu!! is finally back and this was a fantastic first episode! Man, I'm so excited for this new season, I couldn't stop smiling seeing all the characters again. The characters having the practice matches at the beginning already made me so energetic. Everybody is so motivated to improve and get even stronger. Nishinoya's Rolling Thunder is awesome as always but I love Tsukishima's dull reaction and Hinata's really excited reaction. :P Takeda-sensei getting so worried about everyone's grades was pretty funny. Kageyama and Hinata ran so far that they ended up near Shiratorizawa Academy and met Ushijima for the first time; I laughed at Hinata's 'JAPAN!' expression. xD Man, I missed Hinata and Kageyama's banter so much. They've got such a great rivalry and friendship. Ushijima looking down on the other regular players from other teams really urked Hinata; his yandere faces are the best. The volleyball was heading outside and Hinata quickly swooped in to catch it right in front of Ushijima's eyes; take that! I loved the representation of the Swan vs the Crows. The Karasuno members finding out that they have to pass their exams to go to the game was hilarious, they were so scared. xD I'm so glad SPYAIR is back singing the OP! Sounds so great and I really like the visuals. Hitoka Yachi is finally in it and I can't wait to see in future episodes. The ED is really nice too and OST is amazing as always! Animation is top-notch too, based Production I.G. So hyped for more Haikyuu! Let's go, Karasuno! 5/5 |
 |
| Animation, music still godlike and goosebumps!!! Awesome!! |
| DAM Hinata/Kageyama meeting with that super-ace dude was EPIC! esp. Hinata, that was some pure awesome! lol i feel like I'm just fangirling right now and i dun wanna make coherent sentences it's so late at night imma shut up Oh yeah, the animation quality has been upped a notch :) |
| The gang is back. Good episode setting up for the upcoming practice matches. The animation of this episode is just as smooth, kudos to I.G. Oh and that prepare-your-anus face Hinata makes. I lol'ed. It seems a new girl will be introduced in the next episode? I dunno, I don't see the point doing that as Shimizu herself doesn't serve any purpose more than 'wuhh so kawai' moments. |
eivanhoe said: That last part reminded me of Slam Dunk where they need to pass the exams before playing in games Yeah, it reminded me of that as well and that was an awesome Slam Dunk episode^^ Loved the first episode of S2. It had everything, the comedy was brilliant...so much hype. |
| That's right, show 'Japan!' what you can do, Hinata! Loved that OP and ED, + more characters! Team's ace still looking cool with the hairstyle haha great first episode!! |
 |
| Fantastic episode! Glad to have one of the best Sports Anime ever back! So freaking happy I am. Hinata's pro as usual. <3 |

Kurini said: Here comes my favorite anime of the season!!! :D Yasss. I am so hyped! I can barely contain all these feelings. Wonderful episode, all I hoped for and more. The animation continues being amazing, the voice acting and face expressions are great! I wish I could pinpoint the things I loved about this episode, but it's too much to explain. This will be the best anime this season that's for sure. |
 |
| I missed you Haikyuu! I watched this episode on bus somewhere in the middle of Poland and some parts made me laugh out loud and i had people giving me looks,ahahaaa.... I really like the ED song |
| Great start Something seems off in the animation part, looks like blury a little bit |
| Oh hell yeah! Haikyuu is BACK BABY! They wasted absolutely no time in getting everyone pumped up for the practice matches, and even less than that to get us pumped for national prelims. I cannot wait to see how they get over the challenge that is the final exams, muahahaha! Excellent start! |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| So much hype, I'm ready! Animation for rolling thunder was AMAZING! |
 |
| And it's back! That Ushijima guy seems interesting too and I can't wait to see Hinata beat him. It'll be hilarious to see one of them fail the exams. |
| Man it feels good to have Haikyuu back :D Was interesting that they changed the order and brought out the meeting with Ushijima straight away, but my favourite scene in the manga so far was when Hinata Intercepts the ball and it was well animated. I can't wait to see more of Shoyo being a badass. Also Yachi next week <3 |
| JAPAN! Man I'm so glad this show is back! |
| How do I signature? |
| Hellz yeah, more Haikyuu! Funny episode and a good reminder as to where last season left off. Also check out the fucking game face on Hinata. Like whoa, he was pissed, like 'I'm gonna murder you' pissed. This is gonna be good guys, I can feel it. |
| What an amazing start to a new season! Loved the dramatic taunt scenes between Hinata and Ushiwaka. I had to do a double take and make sure that I wasn't watching the wrong show when Takeda-sensei started lecturing the boys at the end.... The 'Akashi Seijuro/Orihara Izaya' presence he alluded was so strong that I wasn't surprised to find out it was Hiroshi Kamiya who voiced him. Learnt something new. lol. Kageyama and Hinata's interaction never fails to amuse me. Glad Kageyama's lost some of his cocky vibe this season. Hope we see more character growth and heartfelt games this season! |

| Nice build up. SPYAIR and Galileo Galilei greatness. |
| This episode was so GOOD ! I missed Karasuno, I'm so happy to see again all the team. The humor is still here and the animation of hinata is great. Haikyuu!! is back and Spyair too :) |
| Nice to see more SPYAIR :) Haikyuu!! is as great as always. Can't wait to see fertile soil get rekt by concrete. |

PNDRetro said: " i'm hinata shoyo from the concrete " fucking sent chills down my spine so hype for this season also, is it jus me or does this feel like kuroko no basket? like season one was a good start but they lost and then season 2 was completely epic and they were on this winning streak and by season 3 they'd won can't say this for sure but i'm pretty sure that's how this anime will go You're highly confusing and merging things if you think Haikyuu!! is going like Kuroko no Basket. This is how things go for Haikyuu and Kuroko: 1st Season - first 14 episodes preparing for the Inter-High Preliminaries. In Kuroko they lost this tournament in the next 4 episodes(episode 18). - 11 episodes of Inter-High Preliminaries. Karasuno looses in the Semi-Finals before the quarter-finals. In Kuroko they trained for the Winter High and watched the National phase quarter-finals of the Inter-High. 2nd Season - Going to Tokyo Training Camp to prepare to the Spring-High preliminaries . In Kuroko that training took 4 episodes and was done in the 1st season. - Going to the Spring-High Preliminaries . In Kuroko the 2nd season ended with Seirin going to the quarter-finals, not of the Winter-High Preliminaries, but of the Winter-High National phase. 3rd Season - If Haikyuu!! gets a 3rd season, than . Kuroko no Basket in the 3rd season ended with them winning the Nationals, something that will not happen in Haikyuu!! Also Kuroko ended after them winning the Nationals, but Haikyuu!! in the way that is made, almost certainly will go after that. |

| I forgot how much I loved this show, I'm so happy the new season is here! It always puts me in a better mood. I laughed a lot this episode. That ending XD |

| When the OST stopped at Takeda-sensei mentioning the final exams that scene was perfect |

| Oh snap from the concrete, it's on now. |
| Hinata looked so badass for a moment there... Can't wait for the next episode! :") 5/5!!! |
  |
| Great episode for the start of the second season. It's nice to see again the energetic characters of this anime. My Nishinoya is back omg<3 and that rolling thunder~ |
  |
| OH MY GOD I AM DYING MY BABIES R BACK THANK U SO MUCH also i love yan hinata (he sure looked it xD) burst out laughing at the concrete part LOL |
| The episode didn't waste any time getting into game play, but I thought this was a nice touch that also helped to refresh the audience's memory. It's been a while since the first Haikyu!! series ended, so this was the perfect way to pick things back up again. During the course of that first match, I was able to quickly remember who people were and their personalities. But the captain of that other team... talk about an ego! I liked seeing Hinata stand up to him. :) And having the adviser reminding the team about final exams was a nice way to end the episode. The conflict has been set: the team members have to pass all of their exams in order to go to the away games that they're so excited to play in. All in all, this was a great first episode, and I'm looking forward to seeing what's going to happen next. |

Keneki said: Tfw when Haikyuu S2 is ranked #15 when only episode 1 is out. FeelsGoodMan. lmao I just saw that scrolling through the top ranked list. That's pretty silly |
| Man I missed this so much. The ED was beautiful too. |
 |
| "I'm Hinata Shoyo, from the concrete." Episode 1 and it's already sooo good. Can't wait for episode 2. |
 |
| THE HYPE IN THIS MAH GASH. and my cute hinata and kageyama are back =w=. its great to have them all back |
| Bit confused as to how this already has a ridiculous 8.87 score, and rank 15?! Good episode though. Started a bit slow and boring but Hinata's jump was epic. Hopefully the score will come down as the initial hype wears off. Still it's quite sad that one mediocre episode is enough to catapult this series leagues ahead of Baby Steps 2 in the rankings... |
| Amaazing as ever :D I had to marathon the first season again before watching this, so my hype is continuous. "I'm Hinata Shoyo, from the concrete." was the best scene for sure, I am shaking from excitement really. My only concern is how will they manage to show whole tournament with Kurasona winning in only 25 episodes :'( I don't want to wait for another season or read the mange then. |
