| 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! |
fanshii said: 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. 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. |

| 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 |

| The ending part with the aces point was great. Really good episode showing all their ace in the holes come out in the open. OST was amazing, too. |
 |
| I... must... fangirl... this... anime! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~ SO EPIC! AMAZING EPISODE AS ALWAYS *-* |
| If Haikyuu!! has any weakness in its depiction of sport it's a lack strategy... but this episode was chock full of that. How satisfying! :D Too, whatta soundtrack. Nothing to get your point across better than dynamic musical framing. One of the best. |
 |
| dat Asahi spike!! so awesome! |
| The entertaining value this show delivers every week is through the roof, can't get enough of this. Asahi's spike gave me freaking chills and lol, Kageyama needs to learn how to smile without look like a rapist hahaha someday Kageyama, someday. |
 |
| I didn't think that this show would ever make me tear up, but those last few minutes were amazing Haikyuu has definite AoTY potential if it keeps being this awesome :D |
| Wow, just wow. |
 |
| First of all, I would like to give my compliment and say thank you to the Production I.G. for their job well done on this series :D As this series progresses, my passion for it is becoming more enormous; more power for the staffs :D Can't wait for the next episode! I hope it's Sunday already LOL. |
  |
| Loved the looks on their faces when Hinata and Kageyama does that freak quick. Also that Asahi spike at the end. Was amazing. Gets better and better. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| wow what a game |
| Holy Mother of Jesus Christ. That episode completely blew my mind. I feel adrenaline putting through my entire body and my heart pumping like crazy, as if i just sprinted my hardest on a track. I'm shaking from excitement. One of the best episodes i have ever seen. This feeling is incredible. |
| Definitely the best episode. I was worry about the quality of the match since all the practice match isn't as good as basketball matches in KnB.Glad I was wrong. |
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. |
| The last play = goosebumps. Must resist fangirling on Asahi. |

| It was amazing watching the team beat such a strong Dateko. I loved seeing them trick Dateko with all those secret moves; disappointed that Karasuno didn't keep any secrets up their sleeve, but I guess they couldn't help not trying their hardest against Dateko. |
| This show is literally the definition of amazing. Who would of thought that volleyball could be this engaging?? Wish there were more shows like this one. |
| this was a great episode, I think it was the best so far, the first episode touched a lot, but this was exciting too much, seemed to be watching a game of fact, several types of attack, amazing moves and plenty of motivation Hinata and Kageyama shown they are great protagonists, they are destroying the opposing team, but a lot still needs to happen during the game, I'll wait anxious for the next episode .. |
  |
| I just started watching Haikyuu just last week and caught up to 17 just today. I really love it and it just makes me want to play volleyball again ;_; I regret not taking the grade 11 volleyball course since I'm more of a musical person than athletic. Anyways, I hope Karasuno advances far into the tournament! |

| Great episode. Hinata and Kageyama combo was awesome. Hinata was amazing this episode. Loved the ending. The ace finally got pass the iron wall of Dateko. Cannot wait for more. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| My eyes got teary when Asahi finally had his view over the iron wall and spiked it. There's so much to this anime than just playing volleyball well which really packs a punch to the feels. Volleyball might just become my new favourite sport. |

Skraggy said: They stepped up the animation this time but reused a lot of scenes Yeah noticed that also, but it was done in a really nice and tasteful manner, and also most animes do reuse animation to save budget, mostly sport anime. |
| My goodness. It is incredibly simple for sports anime to make me start tearing up. |
| This episode was AMAZING! I absolutely loved how intense this match was between Dateko and Karasuno. Karasuno's teamwork is just so great. All the team members are likeable and unique in their own way but as a team they're the best. Hinata is such a speedy spiker and caught everyone's attention. My favourite part was when they opened the way for the ace and the fact that Hinata now thinks of being 'a decoy' as a good thing. :) The animation and OST was amazing as always. This is probably my favourite episode now. Just loved it. <3 5/5 |
 |
| This episode was AWESOME. The vibes in this show are unbelievable. So good. This might end up being my favorite sports anime. It leaves me with a fuzzy feeling. Suguwara's happiness when Asahi spiked....that made me tear up. Hinata being proud of being "the best decoy ever".....amazing. Kageyama always amazes me. And I love good rivals. Dateko is GOOD, very good. I love this. I'm living. And also, DAT BULGE.  |
| Best episode yet I think. Finally a good slow pace showing almost every point. |
 |
| Wow.. I have chills after watching this episode.. really great ! I will wait the next one with impatience ! |
