Holy shit, they will be fighting some tough opponents..


Still, it was a refreshing episode. The impersonations made me lol. The banner this episode was awesome though imo and Kiyoko was cute as hell.

I also liked the new ED song this episode.

Tanaka and that girlfriend thing.. LOL.
Kiyoko! So cute when she was blushing XD
LOL at the way the tears first came out of the guys eyes and when they were completely out of control.

They've got some seriously tough opponents to face..

No OP. Introducing other enemy teams to prepare for interhigh.

Intermission music changed!

lol @ solo play by yakuza-like guy.

Trying out new formations and technique. As well as that guy who never get the chance to play after that "entrance" game.

lol @ everyone except freshmen crying when manager saying "Gambare".

New OP aired as ED.

Oh man this episode was hilarious!! Tanaka doing the girlfriend/boyfriend impersonation and the guys' reactions to Kiyoko saying 'do your best' was way too funny. xD Man, I'm seriously so excited for the next episodes. Inter-high matches TIME! Some tough opponents but Karasuno is super pumped and ready to fight. I really like all the Karasuno volleyball club members really want to win and are working on their skills. I mean, Tadashi personally went to see that guy and asked him to teach him the floating serve. I really like how they showed a lot about Captain Daichi and his friend from middle school and also Yui. Man, I kinda ship Daichi and Yui. xD Also, the new ED sounds great the OST is amazing as always. Kiyoko blushing was also super cute. xP

Lol, Torino... that's a funny way to read it...

And the captain has a friend in the opposing team it seems.

Poor Asahi... who just doesn't look like a true ace T.T

Damn... so many strong opponents... I can't wait for the matches to start!

Ohooo, the captain of the girl's volleyball team, she's cute :3

Hinata, your desire to spike any kind of toss is really heartwarming T.T

Tanaka... you so silly...

Kiyoko-san is soooo cute :3

LOL at everyone's reaction XD.

Awww, Hinata is going to play on the same level as Kageyama, no matter how strong he is.

The char.design for the girls is growing in me, it's really so much detailed. But that is thanks to Kiyoko too. Also, the OST is really amazing, it keeps surprising me, and btw does anyone know when the full album OST will come out?

Sawamura arc? Hell yeah!

I love how there is as much focus on weak teams as there is on strong teams, that's what makes Haikyuu lovable, everyone gets a chance.

Lol, I thought they were looking at porn.

Guess that girl is going to end up with Daichi, they are a nice couple. Now I want an anime about the girls team of Karasuno... Man I love this anime so much!

What a cute grandma.

Tanaka, why are you so hilarious? I like Chikara's reaction, I am starting to like him as well.

Kageyama is so enthusiastic xD Yamaguchi is striving as well. Everyone is working so hard... It pumps me up.

Just give me more Shimizu, I don't demand anything! That's the moe-est thing I have watched all month, damn it. There goes my heart, good bye.
