| Awaiting 2nd season! What a great ride! Not into sports anime much but absolutely loved this! Hopefully 2nd season will have more Kiyoko <3 9/10 |
| Can't wait for the 2nd season! :D |
| I can't believe I didn't post here when I first watched this episode. I'm rewatching this episode again, and I still feel all the goosebumps and emotion that I felt when this aired. That opening sequence before the opening theme.. was just.. so masterful? The art was so on point, and the OST blends in so touchingly. I can't help but tear up. And I loved how this focuses on the 3rd year's development, like I'm so glad they're sticking around. They're just as important and needed as the rest of the team. Especially Kiyoko, I'm so glad she's there too and I'm so excited for her involved in next season too! It's nice to be watching this knowing full well that there's a 2nd season happening in Fall. I'm so glad! AND CAN I JUST SAY, I'M SO GLAD YAMAGUCHI GETS A GOOD AMOUNT OF FOCUS IN THIS EPISODE? He didn't get the intended backstory that he does in the manga, and I've accepted that he might not. But I'm so glad they're not gonna let him fade into the background. AND the fact that we get Aoba Josai closure/plot too just really solidifies this series' bittersweet tendencies. You wanna root for everyone, but then not everyone can win, and even the winners will have their downfalls. The ending made me so hopeful the first time I watched it, and I feel the same now too. I can't wait for season 2. |
| Not bad. Will watch season 2. Slightly overrated I think this show is. |
AsianAssassinGuy said: I want to know when the second season is coming because it did end with a cliffhanger where Shoyou Hinata just spiked the ball and I rate the 10/10 Fall season - October. |
| That bit Makoto said, "Man... How many hours did I practice just for this one shot? If I can savor this one shot, this one moment, again, I can survive those tough practices," just really got to me for some reason. I'm all over here trying not to let that water drop. The yelling scene was a little dramatic, but at the same time, I understand completely. I understand their feelings, their loss, their wish to win. I think that scene illustrated their feelings very well. I loved the character interactions in this show; I didn't feel that anyone important was terribly one-dimensional. I really enjoyed the development as well. Of course, I appreciate the ending's bit where it's pretty much showing how this anime went from point A to point Z quite nicely. Sure, some flubs here and there, but overall, this was a really great show. I had been putting it off thinking, "Another sports anime my friends want me to get into (though I got into KnB on my own)", but I'm glad someone finally got me into their house and made me watch the first episode. I'm also really happy that there really wasn't any special power type of things going on. I don't mind Kuroko's at all, but knowing that most of these characters got o where they are through just... skills that the average person can achieve made this anime so much more intense than one would think. Surprises are genuine surprises and not just because someone suddenly awakened their inner power or something. I like that. There were some points where I spaced out a little and had to rewind, but for the most part, this show had my attention. |
| That a pretty great and entertaining season. One of the more realistic and less "shounen" sports anime out there. Glad there's a second season coming soon :) Just hoping the quality stays the same and everyone doesn't start getting bs power ups lol. |
 |
| I actually believe that 3rd years should be studying but because plot purposes they are playing in the spring tournament. Overall a great ride. First 10 episodes were meh but after that this show got really good. 8/10 Looking forward to season 2 :) |
 |
| hello people !! I want to start this anime but I don't know if it's have shounen ai vibes or not T_T it's llike the anime free ? I don't like this stuff so I'm not sure if I need to watch it or not . sorry for the stupied question ^_^" |
| First few episodes were rather disappointing but it got soo much better after ~3 episodes. And enjoyable ride and I'm looking forward to the 2nd season! 8/10 |
 |
| I'm not much of a sports anime fan but this was pretty awesome. Gets a 8/10 from me. |
| great anime ! I'm in love with it ! can't wait for the 2 season *W* hinata is so great and kagamia too XD |
| That was a terrible last episode compared to the previous episode. but 8/10 overall. great show, but there are some areas that they could really improve on for season 2. |
~my list
| This series is simply great. I can't believe they lost against Seijoh, I really don't. I thought they'd conclude the ending with Karasuno winning the match, and continue the rest of the tourney against Shiratorizawa in the second season. As much as the defeat damaged their morale, it boosted them. Also, I don't know how to feel about the third years choosing to stay. I of course am happy that we'll watch them play in the spring again, but they didn't exactly specify what they were going to do about their futures. Are they just negelecting it? Either way I'm more than glad they choose to continue the sport. Hyped for the spring inter-high in the second season. 9/10 |
Kerozinn said: 7/10 show for me but i wont be back for season 2. i really dont like any of the characters and they cry far too often for my taste. they show soo many feelings in every single episode and i simply cant sympathize with them. the first time i have this problem watching a sports show. also the sport itself isnt that fun to watch for me like basketball,soccer,football and baseball . Undeniably this is a good show but not really my thing. More or less how I feel, though I liked Nishinoya at least and I'll probably watch season 2 when it comes out. Not trying to start a debate on which is better or anything, but I decided to watch this solely based on how much I ended up enjoying Kuroko even though I'm not a sports fan at all. However, this just didn't have the addictiveness about it for me. Despite having all the episodes available for binge watching right from the start, I didn't watch more than two or three at once and sometimes I wouldn't watch the show for days. Not sure if it was the characters or if it's as simple as finding basketball more interesting than volleyball. 7/10 |
| I don't know what to do....what happend to kiss anime ? @~@ Can someone give me another site of watching anime online ? thanks ! >~< |

I can't wait for season 2. Quoting myself because I just re-read season 1's plot in the manga adaption, and I have to say.. the anime really did a fantastic job with the opening sequence/scene of this episode. It just hits so hard, and is much more effective at bringing the bittersweet feeling across. I need to stress how well the anime enhances the manga, in some instances it even surpasses the manga. Just over a week until season 2 starts! |
| AYE it ended :'( They want to play :'( Makes me want to go out and do something with my life too :'( 10/10 G_Spark233 said: I actually believe that 3rd years should be studying but because plot purposes they are playing in the spring tournament. Tests are overrated, I didn't have to study for mine, so if anything the whole exams/future thing was exaggerated. The memories are way more important than some 2 bit college :'( |
 |
| Beginning had a bit too much drama, rest was fine up until this episode. Overall was enjoyable, 7/10, probably 8/10 if not so melodramatic. |
| As a final, never quite predictable in its narrative intentions, however it is able to convey the thoughts that go well in the minds of the protagonists. It assumes that the final episode of left the door open for a second season. Great characters, I hope that in the second season there may be a further growth of the collective. drawings and animations always top quality, as well as for the soundtrack. 8/10 |
 |
| first half of the series was pretty unremarkable but it picked up a lot in the second half. 7/10 - stellar OST. onward to season 2, whenever herkz decides to save our souls, anyway. |
| I really enjoyed it and liked the characters a lot. Time to catch up on season two. 9/10 |
 |
| Absolutely loved the characters but there is room for improvement. 9/10 Still the second best thing I watched this year, gonna catch up on season 2 pronto. |
| While some play volleyball and others study, the rest simply shitpost on the internet. |
 |
| A loss to make up as the better team . The Inevitable way to success . Road for improvement . By force , the top of their prefecture . Greater enthusiasm . Ultimately , One fo the BEST sports anime ever ~ !!! LOOKING FORWARD . |

| That was awesome! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| I started watching this anime, 2 or 3 days ago and i am Finally done watching the 1st season.. the series was so funny.. the story reminded me a lot about Kuroko no Basket.. it was very predictable on whats going to happens next whether they will lose or win.. it was very Kuroko but the characters of this anime are very funny and easy to like.. and it was fun watching them.. i rated it 9/10.. P.s. I want to see the sides of manager and the teacher too.. somehow, i get this feeling that he is the LITTLE GIANT?? hehe.. |
| Nice finale, Good anime. First half was a bit boring but it had a good character development and some funny moments, Second half was much better because of the interesting matches they had. The animation is great, good art,good sounds,enjoyable,very good characters,good story. One of the best sport anime shows. 7.6/10 |
| Words cannot express how much I love this anime. The animation and the character development is just too good. I'll go ahead and start the second season right away. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| I'm so glad I watched this! I think I just found a new favorite anime! Well, time to watch season two, this and Kuroko I mean, I never thought I would love sports anime. |
 |
| The anime ended at the right moment but why did they had to add the HYPE up for the next match at the end of the season. Well I though it would happen. |
| nothing outstanding happened. everyone accepted the loss and grew on it as it seems. in the next season it will be the spring season and hopefully some more unexpected outcomes. |
 |
| Very enjoyable show 7/10 On to the next one. |
| Really nice ending to a great series. 9/10 from me because of lack of progression and similarities to KnB, otherwise could've earned a 10/10. |

I'm honest,is worse compared to first season,mainly for characters interations that become too theatrical,sport is sweat and blood. |
| 9/10 I am glad i decided to watch this. Characters are amazing. Especially Hinata&Kageyama and Nishinoya. Oikawa's team lose at the end. Wonder if we gonna see him again. Karasuno lost but they are gonna be much stronger from now on, that's for sure. |
| I wasnt blown away by it,honestly cannot tell why this series is regarded so high when its pretty much on equal footing with other titles like Ace of Diamond or Ookiku Furikabutte.And that's not a criticism ,just a observation.I guess the smooth animation and art style helps. While it did check out all the right spots,as far as sports series are concerned,I didn't like how the matches were very "fragmented" with countless reactions shots and needless over-explanations of everything that's happening.But I guess that a staple of sports series in general. Wasn't a big fan of Hinata as a MC ,but he wasnt terrible by any means.Team dynamics were good though,and it was fun to watch them interact with each other ,although the constant banter does get old after a while. |
| Onto the Spring Tournament! |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Sad final episode though but at least they got their spirit back and ready for the spring tournament. |
