| That last past with Asahi was AMAZING. This anime is just too good. |
 |
| Godly episode. The match was amazingly good. Last part with Asahai was done brilliantly. 10/5 episode |
 |
| ^ Second this. Amazing episode. I was cheering loudly for Karasuno since the very beginning of the episode, so much feelz :3 |
 |
| Wow this was one of the best episodes so far. Really exciting! The OST was great as well. I remember liking the match against Dateko in the manga when I read long ago but I don't remember it being this good. Though this match in the manga in my opinion is a little overshadowed by the match that follows (won't say whom against whom, so I don't spoil anything) that still stands as the best match of the series so far. |
| Brilliant view of the other side of the court from Asahi. Amazing animation sequences and of course the top notch OST come together to make this a 5/5 episode. |
| This episode was awesome, and this is just the beginning of the nationals. That last spike was crazy. How high did he jump?! |
| lol @ Kageyama's face when Hinata said "the best decoy ever" after Asahi's spiking. I hope it's gonna get a second series, because the animation is amazing. |
| THIS EPISODE WAS AWESOME!!!!!!! Felt like one of those special power Kuroko no Basket episodes! Danggg I seriously liked how they introduced new skills one after another. The look of amazement on the enemy team's face never ceases to please me. Hope they've got better tricks up their sleeves for the next episode. Can't wait xD 5/5 for this one~ |

| God this anime is simply amazing >.< I never want it to stop, awesome episode !! I was on the edge the whole time, nice pacing and just interesting match. I love how excited Hinata was to use the freak quick ! Asahi's last spike too hhaaaa ! This episode was too good ! |

| this was the best episode so far i had goosebumps the entire time [spoiler]  |
| :') this episode, man. Suga's reaction when he sees that Kageyama & Hinata carved an opening for Asahi... da feels man. Everything about this episode was just beautiful. So pumped for the next episode to see how Dateko will strategize now that they've seen all of Karasuno's cards..! |
| Sugoiii! I love this show for making me so pumped up every week |
 |
| Wow, super exciting episode. I love how they all think it's Hinata who's the only monster player...Kageyama sure lives up to his name. |
 |
| Probably the best episode of the season, those plays had me mindblown! That fadeaway backcourt quick pass from Kageyama and the decoy Asahi smash.. I am speechless. |
| This match is great so far. Great episode. |
 |
| INTENSE!!! |
karutamizuki said: I love the moment in episode 17 when Asahi said "that's what the other side looks like". it made my spine shiver :3.It was definitely worth saying up all night to watch! MY HEART IS STILL POUNDING LIKE CRAZY!! Yes. Yes. Yes. And YES!!!!! *cries a little From start to finish, this episode was perfect. If I tried to fit what I liked about it on this forum, I'd run out of space. Actually, I can't be bothered continuing, because I want to rewatch it again! My favourite episode of the season is still "A Toss to the Ace", but not by much XD |
| "There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!" "Aah? Of course I won't miss!" "My blood tastes like Iron." "Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!" |
| Asahi's spike at the end plus the awesome soundtrack is very heartwarming! Really nice episode. So pumped up for next week. And I just love everyone's reaction everytime they see the freak quick. It just makes me smile too. |
| That was SUCH a good episode. THOSE SPIKES. Asahi finally being able to get past the blockers was so touching. asdfkjsdlkfjds I love Karasuno so much |
 |
| ROLLING THUNDER!!! AGAIN VERSION!!! Hahaha, Kageyama's, Hinata's and Tanaka's reation to Noya's awesomeness XD. I can't wait to see how this game will unfold! That's one scary teacher lol. HEAL YEAH! BREAK THE IRON WALL! Damn... that tall white haired dude is freaking good and has really good reaction speed :O Ah, reado blocks XD, now I understand! Oh c'mon, that's one amazing save that Aone dude pulled off with only one hand. Pudding head LOL. Holy crap, Hinata and Kageyama's quick was super freaking awesome! Ah, a back and forth game :3 Another freak quick! Oh look, the girl''s team is here to watch the game. Asahi got his revenge T.T I think Hinata is going to get all of dem girls at the end, since he's really good and small like a fluffy animal XD. |

RhapsodyinBlue said: The match we've all been waiting for! The blockers' stunned faces whenever Hinata screws them over heh Aone is creepy, especially when he was all "#10!!!!", but I'm also liking him more than I thought I would. Him high-fiving the other guy lmao He's is really creepy, but ur right. When he high-fived the other guy and when he stopped the "fight" between his teammates. XD Good character. Mannnn! Sundays can't come fast enough!!!! |
| SOOOO GOOOOD!! Epic episode :D Just seeing everybody drop their jaws at Hinata's monstrosity is soo fun to watch XD BEST DECOY IS BEAST!!! Dem Quicks always give me chills >.< And Asahi's back was amazing too ^^ Lol'd at Aone's "It's different..." ...."Their manager's hairstyle" at the end XDXDXD |
 |
| my heart went like doki-doki kyun-kyun when i watch this episode |
 |
| Fuc* why did it have to end it here, I want to see the next episode already. The intensity, teamwork, strategies, and morale, all crunch up into a perfect volleyball game :D. Kageyama and Hinata were pretty beast when teaming up, those fast toss and spiking it, damn, I was purely amazed. They managed to penetrate Dateko's Iron Wall :D. Waiting one week is beyond torture :(. |
| FANGIRL kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3!!!!!!! I have never wiggled and bounced with as much excitement!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! They were like Pattto! Zooom! KaBOOM!! huhuhuhuhuhuhu XD Never knew what hit 'em! WHOOOSH--WHAM!! kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha!!!! <3 XD |

SetsukoHara said: Very intense episode. That white hair dude is scary! Also, I really like that soundtrack played at the end of the episode. I can't wait for the rest of the match. I think the soundtrack is my favorite part. Can't wait till the OST comes out. That scene with Asahi in the back was great. |
| This show is just too fucking good.. probably one of the only anime on my watching list that I can't bear to wait 1 week in-between each episode. |
 |
| great episode! |
 |
| What a show man... I'm really enjoying that anime! This time they managed to clear the way for the ace... *tears* i'm proud of you Karasuno T__T Edit : That tall blocker guy is really freaking me out... |
 |
| Great episode, as always! Really a fan of the pacing in this show. The action in this game has been great so far. Especially loving the moves between Kageyama/Hinata, and the reactions of Dateko! Also felt ridiculously proud of Asahi when he made his spike at the end xD One of my favorite things about Haikyuu!! has always been how the opposing teams are portrayed, and Dateko is no different. Loved all the comedic moments their team had~ |
| I thought Im the only one who tearup this ep.. man this is really great.. |
 |
| Tsukki needs more screentime. |
| its honestly amazing how production ig can maintain such a high animation standard for haikyuu, must have a real high budget D: great episode! |

Thought I was the only one that peeped his facials there. oh Tobio~ AMAZING EPISODE!!! My god, I literally had goosebumps. I think the rating score should increase just off this episode alone. It was perfection in every aspect. I love this anime to death. It just may be my favorite sports anime by the time it's finished. Season 2 please please please!!!!! |
 |
| Its insane how this gets better with every week when it started off really strong. |
 |
| They stepped up the animation this time but reused a lot of scenes |
| Just... beautiful |
OG-3 said: Really enjoyed the OST in this episode. Couldn't agree more, the OST was great. Aside from that, awesome episode! |
bigivelfhq said: This episode can only be described by one word: AMAZING!! Same here!! SO SUGOINESS!! |
 |
| Simply amazing. That OST plus that animation at the end was spectacular. I expected Asahi to spike but I didn't expect it to be so damn glorious. I almost jumped up when Hinata went against the big guy only the fake him out. It would have been awesome for Hinata to look up and smile even just for a second when it was a close up on his hair but that might've been pushing it. I'M SO PUMPED. AHHHH. THIS SHOW NEVER FAILS TO GIVE ME THE CHILLS. |

| Those last few minutes...amazing. |

| Awesome episode, Karasuno are holding up against Dateko pretty darn well! |

I feel the same about it being a favorite sports anime! I haven't really watched that many sports animes in the first place, but it could squeeze in as one of favorite series in general anyway. I love how the characters feel more real than in many other animes. Mostly they just seem like walking ideas, whereas in haikyuu!! the interactions really feel genuine, even in enemy teams @_@ |
| I have no words how much i love this anime. Every fucking episode is AMAZING. This show is something best that has ever happened to anime industry, I FUCKING LOVE IT <3 P.S. I am even reading all previous comments and i feel so fucking happy how every1 have only praise for this anime. I LOVE YOU GUYS! XD |
