I think it's the best episode of Haikyuu until now (not that I hated the others).
It was really great imo.

I loved the symbolism they used with the crow and Hinata at the end. It was perfect.

The comedy in this anime never gets dull. Great episode!

in Haikyuu! the quality does not drop, all the episodes seem exciting, even more when they are in a match
Lately I have felt greater focus on Hinata and Kageyama being left a little aside, but I think during the match he will again be a highlight ..

Can't really agree with you there but I have a feeling if Haikyuu makes any type of spin-off or side story it will be based on the girls..

Best episode yet.
I laughed like a silly fanboy during the end, Tanaka can always delivers some genuine laughs, I lol'd at him screaming for scoring their first point. Also, the last frame gave me chills. Nice ED, but I already miss the old OP&ED.

Awww Kiyoko was really cute :3

Asahi sure is a sentimental guy lol.

Those two guys are done for...

Poor Asahi T.T

LOL, Kiyoko has bodyguards to protect her from the guys there XD.

Awwww, they aren't thinking a lot about Hinata since he doesn't seem that strong.

Poor Asahi's almost fainted XD.

Ohooo, the girl's volleyball team has a lot of cuties in it :D

LOL, Hinata got a 4 at math.

Hinata looks so calm that even I feel like meditating now :)

Hahahaha, Tanaka and Noya sure are hyped!

Poor Asahi once again... old guy... 5th year in high school...

HELL YEAH!!! THE CHAMPIONS OF OLD!!!

7/10 for this episode.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

I'm really loving this show. I kept yelling "Fly Hinata!" at the build up before his spike. That final shot before ED is now my wallpaper. HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT!? KORAAAA

It was again a great episode. A bit too long to get to the match, but the jokes and situation were still really great.

Tanaka just can't stop messing with people xD

''He have no eyebrow!''
That's the sign about someone truly heartless. Asahi couldn't deal with it.

Hinata still traumatized by Kageyama when he received that serve in the head. I can understand him, he have some of those crazy faces. That's why I love him :)

I guess they will wreck that team. But from the next episode title, I guess the female parcour will end at the beginning... It's sad because I wanted to see more of it, to see another tournament in parallel.

Hmm I guess I am the only one disappointed by the comedy. Came here looking for competitive high school sports, but didn't get one, and this is an official match too, for the inter-high preliminary. I would be pissed if I see my opponent going "haha" after they have scored a few points from us, it's like they are not taking us seriously. I hope that shit stops. It's not funny.

I.G. and the writer are still doing this thing, where they have to glorify something, like Hinata's jump power and spike, they have to repeat the "Hinata jump" sequence 3 times, before they stop the animation (his jump) mid-air for the ball to reach his palm. This hardly feels like a competition, it's more like the beginning of "show off new Karasuno".

There are a lot of pointless scenes too, like the girl volleyball team, I don't know if this team is hinted before, but if it wasn't, then it's way too out-of-nowhere, and seems kind of pointless. Speaking of pointless, I wonder what's the point of putting the captain's acquaintance in the opposition team.

More often then not I find myself being not supporting of Karasuno. Sure I will admit, I went inner-yeah! when the Ace spiked the ball, or when Hinata did it, or when Tanaka did it, or when Noya defends, but it is often ruined by the pointless comedy, it makes me feel extremely bad for their opponent, because we know Karasuno will inevitably win, at least against the lower ranked team. Sigh, I wonder if this is ever going to change later. The author should know when to be serious and when not to.

All the characters are great. a 2nd ranking from my side by this point would be...

1. Tanaka
2. Asahi
3. Shimizu
4. Hinata
5. Noya
