Great episode with the match. Some of the spikes felt a little repetitive but Tobio's moments shined with the effort he put into this. I give him a lot of props for this. Their competitions are seriously tough though...like with the dump sets.

OST was strong as usual as well. Now I wonder how far they will come into this tournament. Oh and ofc, it takes a good coach to make a good team. I like how they described the mechanics of the setters and how the "conductor" is like the leader of a music ensemble.

I almost spit hot chocolate all over screen during the TV scene XD. It's nice to see that Kageyama respects Oikawa, but isn't intimidated by him. Seijoh's fans need to step up their game, Dateko's chants are still #1.

Go ,Go, Go! Go, go,Seijoh! Another catchy chant.

Hinata and Nishinoya wants to appear in TV. The team got irritated when they didn't show up in the news. Oikawa stealing the spotlight.

Ukai-kun knows how to raise their morale.

Kageyama doing that dump. Oikawa got pissed.

Looking at NamiDai's character's team match. lol @ the main guy and Nobu's character get excited. ol @ their reaction to the report. Then the meeting. Few of them reviewing with those CDs.

vs. NaimiDai's character's team, finally. Oh, that guy who was with that megane guy with bad attitude but "talent" asks one of the adults for training. He's strong, and that ex-prince fights back "anti-climax-ly" (part of fake, though). Center vs. Center continues.

17:30 next time. Not sure if she can be back before airing, though.

That dump was unexpected. Kageyama and Oikawa have already started their own setter competition. This is going to be an exciting match.

TOBIO AND THAT DUMP SHOT THOO!!!!!!
Omg I absolutely love their facial expressions.
LMAO at them thinking they were about to be shown on tv...
xD their reaction to what Oikawa thought about them. literally laughed so hard.
So many funny moments. I love it.
Hinata always finds a way to encourage Tobio.
Daichi is such a great captain.
KARASUNO FIGHTOOOO!!!!

Another awesome episode. The CR subs though. Why did they decide it was a good idea to translate Dateko as "Date Tech", lol?

Is there anything that Oikawa is bad at? He is an amazing setter, can spike/dump and serve without any effort. If his receives are just as good, then it's "settled".

Poor Nishinoya and Hinata, that was a painful insult.

I'm glad that Karasuno are known as a powerhouse again, but Oikawa poured gasoline into the flame at the end of the TV broadcast.

He did took them seriously though, he was analyzing their previous match very carefully. I hope he didn't figure out Hinata and Kageyama's hand gesture callouts.

Aoba Josai have got quite the supporting audience, especially on the female end for Oikawa. Karasuno got fired up even more, but they still have their awesome manager.

Oikawa shocked Karasuno once again with his dump, proving his versatility.

The setup Karasuno pulled off was amazing, Tanaka and Hinata were going in for the direct serve, the Ace was going for a pipe, but Kageyama surprised everyone with with a dump.

I really wish the match continued further. Now I'm really excited for next weeks performance.

Kageyama didin't get to show his level much, but here he's going to have to go full out. Pure sexyness on that drop. Loved Asahi's face who was really expecting the ball haha.

Man the first half of this episode was hilarious and really cheerful, especially with the motivation and team spirit. : ) The news report was too funny. Karasuno got shafted so much and Oikawa got wayyyyy too much screentime. xD

I gotta say, this Karasuno VS Aoba Johsahi match is going to be REAL good! Oikawa is insane, his serves are unstoppable and he's an amazing setter. That setter dump and faking a dump and switching straight to a set was really unexpected. However, Kageyama's dump was the SURPRISE this time! Geezus, no-one expected that at all. Kageyama definitely wants to beat Crappy Oikawa/Trashykawa/Trashy Oikawa. xDD Oikawa's pissed off face was also pretty funny. Next episodes will be awesome, can't wait! As always, loving the OST. <3

Another perfect ep from comedy to intensity >.<! Sooo good :D

Lol'd so much at how they were so excited to see themselves on TV just to get totally ignored and see Oikawa being his flashy self instead XD

Oikawa watching the match at night with DEM EYES felt so creepy and epic!

Totally loved the start of the match :3 Oikawa is friggin BA with his troll Dump shot and his second fake. But Tobio trolling everyone even his teammates was even better XD Hell I read the manga and was tricked by it lol. Revenge must feel sweet :P

Seems like Oikawa might have caught on to some of Karasuno's habits after that tape-viewing.

Very solid transition episode - the pace we're moving through the matches is a big win.

Great episode.
Lol at Karasuno being happy to be on TV and Oikawa's face pops up.
Karasuno vs Aoba Johsai begins and Oikawa is already giving them trouble.
Cannot wait for the next episode.

Oikawa's serve sure is really strong and it's going to spell trouble for Karasuno if they don't do something about it.

LOL, that guy thought Hinata and Noya are grade schoolers XD.

Hahahaha, it was freaking epic seeing how happy they were to hear that they're on TV only to see Oikawa, but they're reaction and especially Sawamura's face that expressed how much they want to kill Oikawa tomorrow in the game XD.

Oooooh, even Oikawa has had the Karasuno vs Date game recorded so he can watch it.

Damn... the face Oikawa had while he watching the recording... like he was memorizing their techniques or something.

So many fan girls...

Although I hate to admit it, Oikawa is really an amazing setter and player.

Asahi's face when he saw that Kageyama got the point instead of letting him spike it was priceless XD.

Kageyama you sly dog you. O_O (that was really a surprise, really thought it was going to Asahi).

Dunno if it's Oikawa's theme song, but that funky music somehow suits him perfectly.

Why hasn't the news come yet for a 2nd season...? T^T

I'll be doing the same thing again. Pay attention. YAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So good, totally threw me off as well. I saw oikawa look at ahsahi and thought he'd block then he pulls a dump and i shouted HA and clapped LOL this is going to be an amazing match.

So hyped, but it's going to be over soon, noooooo!!

Strange thing is i had never watched or played anything to do with volleyball before this but i love it anyway :D

I can see some critical mistakes coming while johsai are on match point, like a dropped receive or something costing them the set.

I don't know what you're talking about. The pace picked up as soon as the tournament started and hasn't slowed down at all. Anyways, the TV thing was hilarious and Kageyama trolled the shit out of Oikawa. Every episode never fails to make me so hype.
