THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Lol damn, I really like the rivalry of this episode in particular some of the individual players.

Great episode. There's highlights from both schools so it made the match look strong for both sides. Tooru is also so fun to watch just because of his personality imo. Is it just me or is Hinata somewhat pissed? Maybe he's just fired up

Lol at Oikawa and Kageyama fighting over the ball. Match so far is challenging but interesting; they adapted Oikawa's power serve and Kyoutani's spike pretty well (hence Daichi's internal panicking).

That was one hell of an Absolutely hype ep!!!

Lol'd at Yahaba hitting on Yachi and Shimizu protecting her, then Ryu's face when giving him the ball back XD

Sawamura's reason for aging being kuro and bokuto was hilarious.

Oikawa's teammates jokingly saying food names as if they wanted him to miss so they win the bet
was lol

And so was Kageyama's kick in the ass. But really the receives Karasuno made, the quicks Hinata did and all the epic shit going on was so cool!!

Then Mattsun being creepy af putting pressure on Hinata lol

The 2 highlights of epicness on Seijoh's side were definitely Dat ripple effect on the ball during Oikawa's serve and Daichi's inner reaction to it lol and then DAT Maddog on some TTGL shit spike O_O LOOKED FRIGGIN AMAZING!!

This match so far is just as amazing as I was expecting it to be. Oikawa's power serve and the spike from the guy at the end were fucking epic (and the animation for those parts were on point). I can't wait to see the continuation of this match and how Karasuno deals with the angry dude.
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.

cause baby now we got bad blood


I liked that re-used scene from OP 1 with the Karasuno members lined up- Kageyama's expression was less intimidating and more terrified. Idk if someone noticed this but it was a nice small difference for Kageyama when facing his senpai.


Damn Kags hit Hinata in the ass really hard ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I think when an episode seems to last 10 minutes instead of 24, we can call it a great one. An incredibly impactful episode, with lots of laughter and action-filled scenes. 5/5

Awesome episode.
Finally get to see Karasuno vs Aoba Johsai.
Karasuno have definitely improved from their previous match.
Lol Kageyama kicking Hinata in the ass.
Mad dog makes his presence known.
Pushing aside Kindachi for that great spike.
Wonder who is gonna claim the first set? It could go either way.

MAD DOG IS HERE TO FUCK SHIT UP Y'ALL

Really loved the way the rivalry was set up in this episode.

Shimizu protecting Yachi, like the fabulous senpai she is, was great.

Oikawa being an immature grade schooler to Kageyama at the start of the ep was funny.

Basically, the comedy and sports intensity was well-balanced imo.

The tension in this was just... Oikawa's serve was amazing and the captain's thoughts on it lol. That new guy (can't remember his name) is a lot like Hinata to me, only more aggressive.

This episode went so quick. 5/5

So many funny moments before the game begins.

They were able to block enemy team's serves. The main guy also overcame that obstacle, the reason they lost last time.

The enemy immediately think a way to block the new skills. NamiDai's character also had a super scary serve... with enormous sound. Bringing new character...very fast and fierce attack.

I can't even explain my feelings. I was on edge for the whole episode.
This was even better than what I've imagined it would be.
I feel at some point in the match, Kagiyama will lose a bit of trust in his friends, will return to being an "arrogant king". I hope I am wrong.

That final player is crazy, way against "the team" atmosphere Seijoh has.
Things will get more intresting I guess.

Awesome episode, no more than awesome really.

Watch out for the yellow-haired punk. He gonna play rough.
Now Seijoh has the ultimate setter, ultimate server and harsh killer on their side. It'll be a tough game for Karasuno to face all those.

Mad hype! This episode was intense. My inner fanboy is out idc. That super smash serve and the sketchy/inky animation they used when that punk came on at the end was on another level. Production I.G's direction and animation are the best.

And the power serve was crazy! I thought Oikawa was gonna miss the serve, but totally not expecting what actually happened

Honestly I'm just so happy that everything is being adapted properly from the manga, and that makes this series, and this episode, one of my favourites of all time. My favourite bit was Oikawa and Kageyama fighting over the ball. You silly dorks. >.<

Amazing episode, The match is so exciting already.

Loved the OST they played just before the match started and when the coaches were talking to the team.

The reactions after the first Nishinoya and Asahi spike and the first KageHina spike were so funny XD

The Oikawa power serve, Holy Crap! He left Karasuno in the dust. What a serve!!
Kindaichi's power spike was amazing as well. This match is gonna be so good :D
