You shouldn't be taking MAL ratings directly at face value, you have to take into account why they're getting the ratings they do. In Haikyuu's case, it is obviously from the sequel effect. The first season is at 8.68 and I think even the people that have stuck with it all the way until now will have to agree that season three isn't 0.45 better quality-wise than what season one was. In other words, if it was all just one MAL entry it would not be this high rated. It's the exact same story with Gintama; the vast episode count combined with the sequel effect gives a massive artificial inflation of the score. Now you can argue whether this system is good or bad as you want, but the point is that as long as you're aware of these elements then there isn't really any point in complaining. Like yes, I also think 9.13 for this anime is pretty silly, but it's perfectly logically explainable why it's all the way up here. As long as you learn how to interpret how MAL ratings are generated then you'll get a rough idea of what every show reasonably "should" be scored. It also helps you learning to look past the whole "x is overrated, y is underrated" nonsense that people keep doing because they're too lazy to actually analyze the situation

You say show it, but saying i didn't come with other options how it could be better just proves you did not even read my tekst so actually i don't feel any obligation to answer you this question.

You misunderstood. When I said show it, I meant you show me examples, not just texts (I have read your text btw, and it's just that, texts, not an anime). For starters, since you said animation is not a 10 in this anime, show an example of animation and compare it side by side with the animation in this series and point out which parts are better.

My point stands: If you are only going by texts (which, to me, is just talks), no one is gonna change their mind. Besides, I disagree with your examples in text to begin with (talk more than needed; whiny melodrama), you said that as if there's a standard to how many words are supposed to be said in an anime, and any more or less is, by your standard, not a masterpiece. That, frankly, is just your opinion. If you want to elevate those statements to facts, first show a video example that the majority can agree that is better.

Well...I couldn't focus on the episode, because it was weird and sad for me to hear new seiyuu of Ukai-sensei. It will take me some time to get used to his new voice.
But on the other hand Noya was so cool! And Tsukki too.

I have never been so grateful for laying off a series before it was completely over. The way this episode ended was bullsh*t (in a good way of course), I didn't even bother commenting here until I watched the final episode half-way LOL my heart was racing that much that I almost couldn't breathe. xD

Subjective really is a stupid word. The word subjective makes the word discussion utterly pointless. I believe with a well carved out discussion and admitting from both parties truth can come to light. There cant be both people right, thats just all good guys talk. I think it is not worth a 10 on points like animation and the actual story telling. The characters talk way more than is needed and the anime is (like i already stated (and you ignored)) bursting with whiny melodrama. The cute girls statement was just a example btw, was not really speaking in Haikyuus case here. That last tekst I'm not even going to defend, since i already explained why that is not the case.

My point stands, this anime as a 10 episodes match that lacks the character build on the on the opponents team for example does not deserve to stands with the big shows of long time ago (CG, Clannad, Ippo, Steins;Gate FMA, etc ,etc), it is not even better than the first season let stand that the second season is better than the first. I'm saying it again people are hyping anime shows the last past years like a madman but don't be honest to them selves at all or either really don't know what great anime are still out there.


TL;DR: "You don't agree with me therefore you're wrong." It's amazing how unbelievably selfish you are, given that you think that your opinion is the only one that is valid. And that because of this subjectivity shouldn't exist. Talk about convenient. Lmao.

Just because people are hyping a show doesn't mean you have a right to make blanket negative statements about people who actually enjoy the shows. Well, I mean you could, but you come out looking like an asshole. Just saying.

I won't reply to you again.

Ukai's new voice threw me off right away and kept me distracted the whole episode, kept wondering who the heck was talking every time he spoke ><". Didn't know Kaunari-san passed away, may he rest in peace!!

what am i trying to say? R u too stupid to understand that im just pointing something out? I don't necessarily need to have a deeper meaning than simply "lev has a beetle on his towel lolol". It's just like saying "there's a bug on ur back". Is it difficult to understand what my "point" is other than that im just pointing something out, letting u know something u may not know??

...Anyway...

What an awesome episode right?! I'm glad I waited so long after ep 8 to watch it, cause then I would have been forced to watch ep 10 even though I would have been so sleepy! What a cliff hanger!!!!!

My heart went out to Hinata when his legs just would do what he wanted. I've felt that, and it sucks!!!!

Also, I thought Nishinoya was going to have a broken neck or something, but he just gets up all spry an what not. Nice Noya!!

Most emotional episode yet.
Tsukki's style and read-blocking really is the epitome of "slow and steady wins the race". Sure, he's not flashy like Hinata, or classed as naturally talented like Kageyama, but he does have great perseverance, and it's had him carrying this game really well.
I'm just glad that people are finally noticing him!

One character I do find really interesting is Shiratorizawa's Coach- it's like he wants to defeat Karasuno in order to directly deny Hinata, as if that will justify his decisions in the last 40 years of his life. What he doesn't seem to get is that people deal with the same circumstances differently, so the outcome is almost never the same.

Also, if I was watching this weekly that cliffhanger would've been the most torturous thing. Seems like the guys down at I.G are sadistic af lol

You can see they're all exhausted and it kind of makes you feel exhausted too. Both teams are so amazing but Karasuno just has to win. Shiratorizawa's coach's personal agenda against anyone short is weird since he's a shorty too.

Noya and Tsukki are both such MVPs ugh but Tsukki's poor fingers jfksjdfk

I'm so intensified and focused on the match I felt like I was with the 3 guys watching on the seats.
And MVP for the whole Karasuno team they are really good they did all their corresponding roles and where near now!!!!

And the VA for Ukai was changed and he died, R.I.P I really liked the voice and charisma Ukai shown from the past. I guess good luck for the current VA even though it feels uncomfortable to me now.
