They really cut too much out of these, and some of the cuts made the action hard to follow at times. I know that they want to keep things moving, but these parts deserved a bit more love.

Oh, this episode was much better than the first, I liked that we got little more insights into the characters and the game overall felt more exciting. But actually, it was to be expected that Nekoma is destined to play Karasuno.

That boar at the end though, lol. Hinata is way too hyped for his own good.

This was... underwhelming, considering it's bloody Haikyuu we're talking about. Still, the second half of the second episode gave me some of them good old vibes so maybe season 4 might turn out okay after all.

Damn well done by Nekoma even tho the libero got injured it was a really close game after the first set.

Lev's sister is cute!
Screw Nohebi, getting on the ref's good side only to cheat their way through when it's needed ... and still lost.

I enjoyed it but it did feel like; "We have to show Nekoma made it through aswell so here's a few scenes showing they did"
It wasn't even close to the same hype we got from previous seasons.

This 2 episode felt awful for me. Maybe because the lack of main cast.

Made no sense to me. They should have explained 3 teams going through more thoroughly. I was confused the whole time as to why Nekoma got a second chance, and ended up focusing on that too much which halted my enjoyment.

7/10, the rest of Haikyuu has been at least 8 so far. Odd.

This was a decent return to Haikyuu for me. I do think an extra episode would've been nice tho

I love Nekoma as a team, they're kinda cool. OVA feels rushed a bit.

A good episode. Liked seeing Nekoma play. Felt little bad for Nohebi too though.

So Nekoma has qualified for the Nationals. Fukurodani takes the 2nd slot and Itachiyama takes the 1st.

If I remember correctly, Sakusa is from Itachiyama. He was mentioned in Season 2. Can't wait to see them play.

Enjoyed this OVA a lot. It made me like Yaku way more so now Kenma and Kuroo aren't the only ones from Nekoma that I love and also loved seeing Bokuto and Akaashi again.

Im so happy to find out that Tokyo has 3 spots since they host and also they are much bigger which makes a lot of sense. I kept thinking about how impossible it is for them to advance given how many good teams Tokyo has. Very satisfying ending. And now, it begins!!! 
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

well, that felt cheap as the first ova.
any character development they did her felt raw and without real impact.

basically they done this ova only to write "check" on this manga material.
maybe they didn't even had to do it . . .

As a manga reader first, I felt a bit disappointed by this adaption of this match. This was one of my favorite matches honestly and I feel like they cut too much out.

SPOILERS AHEAD

The opposing teams whole personality is to be "snakes." They lie and cheat their way to getting points. In the manga, they showed a bunch of ways they cheated to get points, which indicated their whole shtick. In this anime, they cut out a lot of that for some reason, only showing the cheating plays a couple times. It kinda made the final result feel pointless compared to the manga.

That was just my opinion tho. Still love this series!
Meow meow meow meow and meow shogi, meow meow meow meow and meow shogi.

Taking one step a time, I work and try my best.

Expect from me a good paw punch!
