Ah Noya-san. That scene was pretty perfect.

Glad Sawamura's friend's team managed to score again before losing.

Love this episode as much as their previous battle eps. So much mixed emotion, esp the strive to win, the will to fight, the feeling of losing and the hopes getting conveyed on. The scores are perfect as always! The humor are hilarious with the perfect touch.

So much it made me getting involve with the discussion thread lol.

Looking forward for a great battle between Karasuno vs Dateko!

They conveyed the feelings of those who lost wonderfully. Liked the transitions between the girl and boy teams.

I love it!
The parts where it alternated between with the girl's team and the boy's team losing was done very wonderfully indeed.

I just can't not chant this whenever it comes on even though I want Karasuno to win.

Great match. They could have wrecked them more, in my opinion.

''If we were in a fiction, we would probably be secondary characters''
Woah, you're right! That's exactly what it is!
Jokes aside, it was nice to see the loser side, also the side of those who never succeed, no matter how much they try. Poor captain girl...

Now they'll face the wall. With Hinata, they should give a great resistance and probably win the game. Also, from the OP and preview, I guess the girl team will put some noise in the stadium.

Wow that first part was incredibly emotional. I wasn't even expecting to cry but for some reason tears just kept coming out. I love the focus of the losing teams, just as with DnA's episode yesterday. The beautiful bgm also never stops being perfect for such scenes.

LOL at when Kageyama was "smiling" and then his face when Hinata tells Kageyama that his face looks scary when smiling. Also, great job Noya at the end, he certainly was kakkoi XD

the episode was exciting parts as well, both the will to win as the sadness of losing was well presented, did not expect all this commotion in a sports anime
the next match will be against one of the favorite teams to win the tournament, I'm already looking forward to see how will the game ..

I think we need a girls volleyball anime.


I think it would be quite nice if they just showed more of the girls in this anime, which i hope they do.

I'm with you guys. The girls team needs more screen time! Also, you hardly ever see girl's teams in sports anime, at least in a non-backup, serious role. The closest thing I can think of is Chihaya from Chihayafuru, and her constant striving to overcome her limits. I'm a little sad that the Karasuno girls team seem like they'll basically be the boys cheer section from now on.

Hinata makes the best faces.

Tobio's serves are always going to be awesome. I fangirled <3

I LOVED the parallelism between Ikejiri and the girls' captain. Definitely nice to have some focus on the minor characters. That scene wasn't something I enjoyed a lot in the manga, but it was brilliantly adapted in the anime.

That threw me off so much, I was wondering "gee Karasuno can't be doing this bad?!" before I saw the correct subs come up later.

super hyped for the next episode. i love this one. it was interesting to see his old friend in that emotional state, its like he finally realized what karasuno's captain meant and what playing volleyball means. i think they're going to turn out to be a great competitive team after this.

How to turn minor characters in relevant characters that can convey you any kind of feelings? This is how.

Best episode so far, at least for me. The scenes when they were exchanging blows of balls, framing every time a different team were simply outstanding. I think this episode in terms of technique beated everything else.

Also, the end of the episode gave me chills and a huge idiotic smile upon my face.

Daichi is so me. He quotes everything I think and that's awesome. Well, the thing which differs, his speeches motivate others more than mine xD

Michimiya... Sad for Karasuno's girls' team. Regrets can kill you but they can also make you stronger, its upto you.

When Ikejiri said if it was fiction then they would've been extras. "But still we got to play." That transtion was perfect. Damn feelings...

"Rolling Thunder Again." xD

I love how Haikyuu has respect for the characters who would normally be considered 'mob' characters.

Just amazing...

7/10 for this episode.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.
