It makes sense considering the length of the matches needed for a win (3 out of 5 vs. 2 out of 3) for the national spot. I'd rather have this mini season to put into a lot of good effort into one of the biggest matches of the series so far than a mess of a full 25 session. It'll help with the pacing of future seasons as well if this happens now instead of a regular season.

The episode seems just about right for a full match that's around 40 chapters. Hopefully the staff will keep delivering as they have always been with this series.

10 episodes of the worst and most boring match? Yeah, I already suffered this awful arc in the manga. I think I'll just skip this season especially since it's so short.

Pretty sure there's not enough materials for another 2-cour right now so it can't be helped. At least they try to tie up the cliffhanger from the 2nd season as soon as possible instead of waiting a long time for there to be enough materials and losing the interest of viewers along the way.

It's the finale of a tournament. It'd be strange to have 10 episodes all leading to such a massive arc's peak, and then violently swap to a much different, slower pace. After this they'll probably go back to one 2-cour season per 6-8 seasons. Haikyuu (manga) sells all too well not to milk it, so worry not: it'll be back soon enough.

Huh, figured it would be at least 12, but 10 makes sense too in the end. It honestly would feel weird for the finale to start a new season and not be the conclusion. Obviously I'm a bit bummed to see that we aren't getting a full dose of 25 episodes again, but this course satisfies me and it'll make the next season release sooner as a result, assuming they do adapt that far (I'm fairly confident they will though).

I'm not sure why people dramatize so much? This is only Miyagi final match. There's still a possibility for a new season, where the story could focus on Tokyo's prelims and national championship for example. Now it's time for Shiratorizawa to get introduced and animated.

A lot of manga readers hate this match because it lasted for 40 weeks. That's almost a year for one match, so I can understand why they got so tired of it. I read it all in one day so it didn't bother me. There are many good moments in this match and it will go by so much faster in the anime. Shiratorizawa is my 3rd favorite team so I'm excited for this season.

The match did last quite awhile for chapters. I never really minded the length of the match chapter wise. I put up with that stupid war in Naruto until it was finally over and One Piece has some really long arcs so while it was long, it wasn't enough to make me wonder when it was going to end.

I know that wasn't the same for most of the readers though. About 1/2 to 3/4 through the match is when I started noticing people getting antsy over the length.

I can totally see why they're only going for 10 episodes this time around. Apparently, the match against Shiratorizawa alone takes up 40-50 chapters in the manga, so they're probably trying to condense it into 10 episodes, since it would be hard to stretch one match out for more than 12 episodes while keeping it interesting.

However, I am positive that they will continue to adapt the manga into an anime format all the way to the end, since they'v come so far already. However, I do not expect to see its return until Spring of 2018 after this airs.

Well that's too bad but seeing how there's not enough manga material for another two-cour season I am 100 % okay with this

More importantly: will we get to see Oikawa again or is he gone for good?

Considering it was the 4th best selling manga of the first half of 2016, if it continues to do well I'm sure we'll see another 25 episode long season. For such a long and important match, this is fine amount of episodes and by the end of this new season the manga will be so far ahead they can probably start working on S4 in 2017. Nice.

This was what I was worried about when I peeped that Haikyuu's 3rd season is properly titled "Haikyuu!! Karasuno Koukou vs Shiratorizawa Gakuen Koukou."

There should be enough material in the manga to make it a full course season, but then the air date wouldn't be until next fall.

The only reason I wouldn't like that it's 10 episodes is not because it's less than half the length of the previous seasons, but it's because they're trying to fit about 40 chapters of the match into 10 eps. That's a pretty tall order since the most they've crammed into one episode is three chaps while keeping the story well paced.

I hope it doesn't become erratic because there are less eps to spread out all the action.

It's just Karasuno v. Shiratorizawa. Hopefully it does well, and we'll get more seasons that'll adapt the Tokyo prelims arc and all the manga stuff that's happened thus far leading to Nationals.

Just wait, 5 episodes into the season and people will be complaining about the match being too long and how that the anime should proceed to the next match already. :)

Edit: Not because the match will be boring or anything (I wouldn't know, having not read the manga) but because some people are just weirdly impatient when it comes to sports anime.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but some of the chapters were just about 1 freaking point and not all of them were 20 pages long, so it will be okay... I guess.

Yeah, but look at how they stretched out the plays just for that one point. You can bet that they're gonna make it just as dramatic in animation, so point gain per chapter or pages per chapter won't have much influence on material distribution per episode.

If anything they might alter some of the material that was in the manga for the anime, like they did on the last episode of season 2.

Well, if I'm wrong I just hope they do the manga and the previous seasons justice.

But I hope they don't make this match something slow, because it is already one episode per week then they clog the episodes with flashbacks and stuff like that, will be only ten episodes then goofing off for what? I rly, rly hope they don't make Haikyuu into a KnB. 3rd with all that useless things.

That's actually way too long...

The problem with these sports anime is that it gets really repetitive...and basically the author can do whatever he wants to it. For a single match, that's like 200-300 minutes. Whereas an actual volleyball game would be like an hour at most. Ya there's prob going to be flashbacks and stuff leading up to it, but 10 episodes for this one arc...even though the first and second whole season only had 25 episodes each.

10 episodes honestly is just going to make the show worse imo.
