Ooh this is coming to a close game.

Yamaguchi's return on the field is an awesome sight though. The outsiders also got really fired up for the match too lol. Exciting. This match definitely lived up to the hype though imo and well worth waiting for. Also great soundtrack, in particular the second half of the episode.

i'm so glad yamaguchi got his time to shine! so proud of my little yams >.<

sadly, this episode moved a bit slowly but it makes sense, seeing as they wouldn't be able to start a new match at the very end of the season. good episode overall, 5/5.

Man I was really hoping that Karasuno would have put this game away because I'm scared of this final set thing lol but regardless of that....

I am so fucking proud of Yamaguchi......Seeing him succeed, believe in himself and watching everyone cheer him on and congratulating him brought tears to my eyes

Best Boy Oikawa was impressive as usual too so I'm not even mad to see him to HAM, but all I ask is for Karasuno to being it in this final set and come out with that W

Yamaguchi did a great job for serving against his opponent. I think this hype for all of the episode of Haikyuu S2 has been one hell of the journey, 3 more episodes to go and I'll be pretty sad once this anime has finished

Funny and cool episode. Yamaguchi came through for them, but it wasn't quite enough. But the great thing is how they're all so happy for him and are trolling on the sidelines^^ Very happy with the adaptation. On to the final set.

Now that was breathtaking. Literally forgot to breath until the set finally ended since both team refused to let the ball hit the ground.

Yamaguchi really delivered, beyond expectations too to hit so many consecutive serves. When he gets even more control of his serves, boy, he'll be one monster to deal with, like and unlike Oikawa.

Looking forward to see how this match ends, with so many weapons to use for both teams, it's gonna be awesome either way!

Nice episode

I saw it coming, they couldn't win this game in 2 sets. No they couldn't :x
So there will be a 3rd season for the end of the tournament ?

Status: Dead from Hype.

Dat ending of the ep was way too hypu inducing! Seijoh's "They were supposed to be beneath us" And then the "But seems we're fated to go full" with the pic of both teams was absolutely epic.

Oikawa's serves are just beastly as usual BUT WE FINALLY GET IT!!! Tadashi! I'm so happy for him. I was smiling throughout his entire serving time. The first time it worked and Oikawa was pissed asf was awesome XD Tsukki cheering him on and Tadashi saying nxt time I'll get the 10 was just too good!!

yamaguchi finally manages to succeed. Nice seeing a character's hardwork and dedication pay-off. feels like certain aspects of this match lack focus, like mad dog got all the focus last episode and barely even had a cameo this time. Definitely some inconsistent focus imo. Also feels slightly rushed and a little lacklustre compared to what I envisioned. Still fun though, and the characters' charms and interactions are great.

Yamaguchi finally coming through was great to see, his hard work finally paid off. They managed to get 5 consecutive points, and then the back and forth scoring between the 2 teams was too much for me to handle. Not surprised that Oikawa was able to put an end to that set. Like they said in the episode, this match was for sure going to need all 3 sets. I'm hyped as fuck to see the rest of this match.

Yamaguchi was freaking awesome this episode.
His first serve was so good.
Loved how everyone was praising him. Tsukishima especially.
This 2nd set was so close, but Seijoh just managed to get this one.
Now on to the start of the 3rd and final set.

Come on Karasuno. YOU CAN DO THIS!!

lol @ how they cheered him (I feel that they do support him, but also at the same time nervous for him). Nice, he did it. Not only that, he helped caught up.

Even surpassing it. They still lost once. The anime reminding us it's 3rd time playing against each other and very pain in the ass.

I LOVE when I get to see someone's hard work really pay off

Just like Ennoshita, Yamaguchi knows he doesn't have much to offer the team since his serve is his most powerful and only weapon. And now we've seen it used, and it was freaking incredible! I was so hyped throughout the entire thing!

We're at the last set and at the last three episodes and I really can't wait to see how it'll all play out.

It's not my favourite sports anime in the least, but only Haikyuu has made me care so much about a side character such as Yamaguchi. When he landed his serve I was celebrating like them.
Cant stress enough how good the soundtrack keeps being, it literally accompanies the flow of the match so perfectly.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

nice! Awesome from Yamaguchi, 5 straight points, good man. Of course it would be a 3 setter though. Anyway wondering about a season 3 you can pretty much assume it will happen. How far ahead is the manga in comparison to the anime right now? is there another seasons worth already out or not? I might read it rather than wait a year for season 3 xD Can always still watch it when it's out.

This episode was filled with so much excitement, tension and hype. Definitely one of my favourites this season. Yamaguchi was truly the hero of the 2nd set and everything he had to go through, practicing long and hard every day really paid off. He just needed confidence and to remain calm. I threw my hands up in the air and cheered along when Yamaguchi successfully made his first pinch serve in this episode. The Aoba Johsai fangirls hugging each other and celebrating were really cute too. xD The OST made these scenes even better, I just LOVE the OST in this anime. Yamaguchi's serves continued to be amazing and really helped out the team come back to a tie.

This is exactly why I love Haikyuu, the character development and build-up is done so well and really pays off in the long run. Yamaguchi was always the more forgotten supporting character and wasn't really anything special. However, now he's a vital part of the team. Oikawa's serves are still ridiculously powerful and Karasuno is still struggling to receive them properly. That was such an intense 2nd set but the final set is going to be even more so. I'm hyped for the final 3 episodes, can't wait!

It was another exciting and scary ep. I almost died of Hinata and Nishinoya's reaction when Yamaguchi made a service ace. Suga and Ennoshita pulling them back was so priceless. Hahaha! Hooray for Yamaguchi-kun!

"I am a pinch server." THAT PRIDE! OMG! Oh, I just love the other Karasuno players for being so supportive. "Yamaguchi! One more!" -Them saying this in chorus is so cuteee!! Uhhh, but the cliffhanger!!!!! I have to wait for a whole week. -_-

It got really intense! The outcome is pretty obvious, but I'm still excited while watching each episode :D

But yeah, it's probably going to end with some hardcore Hinata/Kageyama combo, that's how shounen series work. Not that I mind it :D 3 more episodes left!

It's too bad they didn't win the set. I was nervous myself the entire time.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.
