Ooh good episode, we got the match although Karasuno is trails behind their opponent a bit. One thing I do appreciate quite a bit about the episode is that they focus more on Tsukki, not just Hinata on the team.

Pretty fast pacing match, they didn't waste much time either.

I like Karasuno's determination though. Time to attack! :D

Bad start and Miyu-Miyu's character freaking out... Lefty, huh. Delinquent looking guy got the first point. They are having a hard time and Nobu's character finally blocked his serve.

The enemy doesn't like the main guy (well, at least he got his attention). lol @ delinquent-looking guy's accident getting a point. Miyu-Miyu's character still don't get much action.

They're going to have to keep this at a fast pace to get through 5 sets in 10 episodes. Good shit so far.

If the first episode of the real match is already that awesome...good god.

That moment when Nishinoya got the spike of Ushijima was epic!

Much focus on Tsukki, oh yes man...

TENDOU YOU FUCKING GOD!!!

Excellent episode, you can feel the tension :D They lost the first set but it was helpful to get an idea of Shiratorizawa's strategy. Slowly some downs may be found later.

Come on Karasuno, you can do it!

Awesome, Just plain awesome. Such a good episode.

Ushijima's left handed style causes so much problems eh? Didn't realize it was that big of a deal.

THAT NISHINOYA EPICNESS, That focus in his eyes, That 'KOI!' , So epic man. I was cheering for him.

Love Karasuno's determination as always, They always motivate themselves really well.

Interesting bit about Tsukki that his brother let on, It was cool to see him get his hands on Ushijima's spike.
Tanaka's head receive was funny. xD

Tendou seems to be an amusing guy, That Hinata spike block. :o
Fairly fast pacing for the first set, Only lasted an episode. However if the first episode of the match is like this, I can't wait to see how great this is gonna be once we're really underway.

That saying about left hand being the devil's sign doesn't exist for nothing amirite? I can't believe I relate to Ushiwaka then
Calm the hell down Ushiwaka, you damn monster. Speaking of monster,my favorite Shiratorizawa dude makes his big intro finally- Guess Monster! God do I love him. I don't care about everyone's favorite Rock Lee guy, I love my Tendou and his trashy faces.

Oh look,actual giraffe shows his glory again

Entertaining episode.Ushijima is a beast and scored 11 points in the 1st set,even though Nishinoya tried his best to receive his spikes.But he isn't the only obstacle in this match for Karasuno.Lol'd at Tanaka's head receive.Let's see how the 2nd set will go.

God damn the tension of this match is killing me. Karasuno had a rough first set but so far they look like they're holding their own in the second set. Tendo looked badass at the end, can't wait to see more of him.

Tanak's head recive killed me XD.

Nice episode overall with a few epic moments. Im kinda surprised about the pacing, dont get me wrong i think it was perfect but the match is supposed to last almost 10 episodes so i figured that it would be slower. But i like this better!

This ep was really good, but I think its from now on that things will be getting more interesting since Karasuno will start to get more in the match and see that Ushijima isn't the only one to worry about.

Tanaka tho HAHAHAHA he is so amazing!! And it was so good to see Kageyama and Noya playing like always!!

AND THE PREVIEW FOR THE NEXT EP?? WAS I THE ONLY ONE THAT SAW TSUKISHIMA BLOCKING THE ATTACK!!???? AHHHHHHHH I CANT WAIT ANOTHER WEEK

Just me who thinks they should actually research their opponents before the game starts? I mean if Shiratorizawa are really as famous as they've said then it shouldn't be that hard to do :s

Feel sad to hear Ukai's voice after knowing that his VA passed away
Still feeling hyped. It's a great episode with some great moments (as usual). It is expected that Karasuno lost their 1st set. Hopefully they will get it back on the 2nd set.

Hinata's fingers definitely look hurt, haha. Facing strong spiker like Ushijima.

Tanaka's blocking and scoring with his head was hilarious xD

And looks like Hinata's going to have a hard time in the next episode.

still mourning for ukai's seiyuu, hearing his voice is breaking my heart. RIP Kazunari Tanaka.

But this was a great episode though!

Ushijima is OP as hell!
But if shiratorizawa have him then Karasuno got NOYA! LOL! GOD! noya getting that receive as promised! was so AWESOME! as expected of him!
But I gotta say tanaka's facial receive is as badass as noyas! HAHAHA! Im laughing so hard!

Come on! Bring it! Bring it! Bring me some Tsukki development!!! loving his screen time

and that last scene! Damn! Im starting to love Tendou!

Good episode. Despite that Karasuno didn't quite make it in the first set, the second set seems to show some hope. Ushijima and Tendou are still going strong, though. Lol at Suga's outrage and Tanaka's head receive.

Oh god, same here, I keep having this heart-broken feeling when his character speaks up :/

Other than that, pretty good ep, everyone is so tense! Hope that Tsukishima will show some balls soon, I love the intelectual guys in sport anime. He just needs to cool off a bit.

Judging by the ending scene and title of the next ep ("Guess Monster") I'm thinking that red guy with bulging eyes has some great intuition or something? If I'm right, that could be pretty interesting. Can't wait for next ep.

Did anyone else catch the incorrect scoring at 20:00? Karasuno scores the first point in the second game (spike bounces off Shiratorizawa receiver and goes out), but the scoreboard was updated as 1-0 to Shiratorizawa. Later points got added to that incorrect score. Either I'm missing something or Karasuno got robbeddd

Looking at the school name(the kanji written I mean), it's supposed to be to be Karasuno - Shiratorizawa, not Shiratorizawa - Karasuno. The translator made a mistake there.

So sad to hear about the passing of VA Tanaka, Kazunari as Coach Ukai.

Excellent episode. Loving this match so far.
Ushiwaka is so damn powerful. Those spikes & serves.

Love the chanting on both sides.
Nishinoya slowly getting use to Ushiwaka's spikes & serves.

LOL Tendo is hilarious. Just loves irritating Hinata.

1st set to Shiratorizawa.

Hearing Coach Ukai's voice was heartbreaking. I'm definitely going to miss Kazunari Tanaka-san.

Anyway, Suga cracked me up. Hahahahaha! No chill! The first set went by so fast, imo. I was actually surprised when it was already the second set, lol. They just showed how hard Shiratorizawa is for Karasuno. I think it'll eventually slow down from the 3rd to the 5th set. Noya was so awesome! I'm looking forward to what him and Tsukki will bring to the team. Oh, Tendou was cute and irritating at the same time, btw. Haha. I also love the rivalry happening between Hinata and Ushijima.

4/5. Looking forward to the next ep.

My heart is so worried for the Karasuno's team the whole time. Although I know what the result of the competition will be but still the anxious feeling just won't fade away. Seems Tsukki is finally going to take the step to fight the other team :)

Ushijima is a little too OP. But that's to be expected from Japan.
And I believe Tsukishima is the first hero of the game. It's would be ridiculous if Karasuno come back after 2-0. So, Tsukishima will probably give the 2nd set to Karasuno.

Nishinoya is cool! I'm liking Kei's moments too and how Nishinoya is helping him shape up indirectly.
Kageyama was cool too! Daichi as well.

The redhead annoys me.

The ED really destroys the hype. Otherwise, really cool episode.
