| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Not bad, we get Hinata's remainder of what he's playing for. Also, I feel like Tobio is having some slight problems with himself lately. The pacing felt a bit slow but I'm liking the way that everyone is trying to move forward. Hinata still training as well too~ Lol, nice comedy.  Oh yeah, I'm also glad to see Hitoka doing better as the manager, at least she finds it fun. Hoping to see some exciting match soon. |
 |
| Both of them try to figure about good way to the main guy's wanting to improve in last ep. Both of NamiDai's character and the old coach say the main guy's the one who's in control, not setter guy. There's difference in attack (lol @ NamiDai's character and his cousin's conversation). Everyone's on improving mode, not just the main pair, but separately. New game next. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Yes my favorite of the training sets of episodes, Hinata with the chuugakkosei was the best part and one I wanted to see animated. Tsukki episode next, hyped! |

| Really really great training episode this was and the silly comedic moments were great as usual lol Made me smile to see my favorite character Oikawa again and his little interactions with Kageyama and his nephew was hilarious xD Man I missed that guy so much What I liked even more was the parallel's between Kageyama and Hinata in this episode whereas they both went to person's that are well respected for advise as I love how Coach Ukai also allowed his grandpa to help him out too Seeing Hinata interact with the grandpa was pretty cool to say the least and I really enjoyed seeing those two work together with the help of those other kids so that Hinata can achieve his goal....Seeing Kageyama practice the plan that Ukai gave him was also great too....All that stuff with the tempo thing was really interesting too Great episode overall and I enjoyed seeing how everyone else in the team had something that they were working on so hopefully in the next episode we'll get to see the fruits of their training and hopefully some Karasuno beatings being dished out :D |

| Cant wait to see their revamped quick in action.. and also with better knowledge of the game now, here's hoping Hinata will become a better player. Seems like the entire squad is putting in alot of effort too. Can't wait till game time! Yachi is growing on me even more.. |
 |
| Nice to see Oikawa again! it's been a while. everyone is training seriously too! can't wait to see how much they've improved. Very excited for next week's episode! |
| Absolutely amazing training episode! I love the developments showcased. Tsukki doesn't look too fazed by what's going on... |
| SOOO GOOOOD >.<! THE EVOLUTION VIBES!! Loved the montage of everyone doing their level up training so much. Kageyama's task is one hell of a tough one. DAMN! He can definitely do it ^^ Lol'd at the part with him bowing down to Oikawa and how he took a pic XD Takeru REKTing Oikawa that he was dumped was hilarious too lol Nxt ep it finally starts...The beginning of Tsukki's epic development. HYPE!! |
 |
| Uncle Oikawa finally! Ahhh I missed his stupid and beautiful grin so much  Also |

| Ahhh... This was so gooooood! This was great to see how everyone trying so hard to improve they play and helping each other! Yachi is so cute! Really... everytime she show ups she makes me smile! *.* Also Hinata x Yachi *stamp of approval* Yeah, me like it! Oh! So there will be another training with Nekoma? *.* YEAH! <3 |
| If Noya can do that in the game... it would be the moment of being the ultimate support! It will be great to see their new moves in the game, but even more so for the tournament. Former Coach Ukai, he is an awesome coach! |

kawaii-despair said: Uncle Oikawa finally! Ahhh I missed his stupid and beautiful grin so much [/spoiler]I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS NIGGA <3 Pretty fun episode, so glad the best boy is back.  Good to know the rest of the team is focused on improving just like Hinata. |
 |
| Haha the scene where Kageyama scared that little kid^^ And also the "woof"-scene. Very good adaptation of the training and great episode. It should be two more training episodes, right? |
| I think this has been my favorite episode thus far because of all the comedy, the Great King Oikawa being back (and his taunts and blurry picture from his nephew), and each character's growth shown but not spent too long on. Now all I need is Kageyama and Hinata to make up because I swear that one scene where they wouldn't even look at each other and just walked past each other broke my heart. |
| Tsukki episode next week get ready for the feels |
| Man why can't there be more Oikawa screentime I am enjoying this so much |
| Good to see Oikawa again after so long. His interactions with his cousin were quite humorous. It's nice to see everyone training so hard, and Kageyama and Hinata's quick attack is going to be great once they improve their techniques. I also got a great laugh when Grandpa Ukai said that Shrimpy was a good nickname for "a crappy player like you [Hinata]." Grandpa has no chill haha. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Lessons learned from this episode may the tempo be with you. |
 |
| this anime is perfection |
| :3 |
| the episode has made me ready to face the new week. i feel rejuvenated. i just missed oikawa and yui a lot. and yachi's smile alone makes everything 300% better. and hinata talking with ukai sr. was a+ as well. |
 |
| I AM SO EMOTIONAL RIGHT NOW I DON'T UNDERSTAND! Seriously though I had to pause probably like 3842 times during the little screen time Oikawa had and I don't understand he's not even my fav. kawaii-despair said: Shoot me.AND KARASUNO PROGRESS! I AM SO EXCITED! I wish I could rate this episode 6/5. |
 |
| as far as i know you're not allowed to spin the ball on the toss....didn't like that he went with that. Good episode though. edit: Someone told me that it is different in the manga, he changes the highest point of the ball. So this is an anime mistake. |

| Really enjoyed all of the character progression in this episode. |
 |
| Great episode. I'm so glad we got to see Oikawa (my fav) again, missed him so much. I really love his interactions with Kageyama and Takeru. Really loved the scenes with Hinata practicing with old man Ukai and the others. The atmosphere during those scenes were just really nice. |
| I loved this episode. Most of the main Karasuno characters are progressing. Cant wait for the next episode with Tsukishima. |
| I have to say only one thing: I love Granpa Ukai to bits -) |
 |
| Oh god this episode I could definitely hear the Hisoka in Oikawa's voice it was kind of unsettling And I really love Yachi and Hinata's dynamic, but I hope they just stay friends. A sort of sibling relationship would be A++ tbh bc I don't think they have enough chemistry to be romantically involved >.< |
 |
| Oikawa appeared o / was only to give advice and take a given idiot but that's okay XD |
| Welp, time to train! Cool old guy is cool though and Kags's interactions with Oikawa are great too. Watching a show I don't like as much after this one that also has NamiDai in it is kinda funny. |
| Kinda boring IMO. Still, this episode seems to be the beggining of something. I can't wait to see everyone with this new things they are practicing. I'm still amazed with the episode 3 or 4 ending. The one with Hinata looking at his photo. Can't deal with this hypeness. |
 |
| Really great episode. I never understood how people can find episodes like these 'boring' when we're literally seeing the characters get stronger and learn more about their own skills. This is what I love about Haikyuu. It's really realistic in a sense that they're all imperfect but have room to get better and grow as a team. Can't wait for tokyo training! |
 |
| Everyone is trying to improve :D So much hype for the next match. |
| My Anime List | |
| Another great episode of Haikyuu!! I really like the pacing and feel of this arc, it's very relaxing yet motivating for the characters. Hinata went to Coach Ukai's grandfather's place where he taught him the various tempos and how to control his movements in the air. The various kids and teenagers there helping Hinata out were pretty friendly and nice too. Kageyama meeting Oikawa was quite something too, he gave some words that really made him change his perspective on the situation. Yachi was worried about Hinata and it was nice to see her smile after Hinata told her that he's fine. I can't wait till everyone works together in a real match again after practicing so hard individually. 5/5 |
 |
| All but one of the crows, eh. All but one. walldotfm said: Yachi is growing on me even more.. Yachi x Hinata seems to be the most popular straight ship, based on the images I've seen. In fact, my avatar is actually from one of those pictures. |
 |
| UHUEHUEHUEHUEHU BRAZIL BRAZIL BRAZIL UEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE <3 |
 |
| Finally good ol' Haikyuu is back. I even started to like Yachi rofl. |
|

|
| Everyone improving so much T___T OMG their match next week YAY!!! |
| Oikawa & his nephew are too cute. Kagayama running after Oikawa when he was trying to ask him for advice - hilarious. Yaachan's smile was so adorable when she asked Hinata how him and Kageyama were doing. Jii-san is badass and funny. So happy to see them practicing and improving their skills. |
| I really loved this episode! I think it's finally starting to get to the good stuff. After last episode this one is like a breath of fresh air and it's good to see everyone working to improve. I loved the scene with uncle Oikawa and Kageyama. Poor Kageyama had to beg for advice and Oikawa just had to take advantage of the situation to get a picture xD I thought it was cute how Oikawa take so many photo's of his nephew on his phone, a sunset shot, and a selfie. Also it was really sweet how concerned Yachi was about Hinata and how Hinata is holding up strongly. Kageyama is also going to try his best too so they can work together better than ever before. Next episode preview seems to start Tsukki's story and bring in Bokuto and Kuroo's antics. I have been waiting for this. Really enjoyed this episode and looking forward to whats to come. |
| 10/10 episode as usual, no surprise. I love Oikawa lol. |
| Really awesome episode. Its nice to see everyone trying to improve. Tsukki episode next week YEEESH! |
