| This was a very entertaining match , like Slam Dunk they always put that rival team where everyone becomes friends with their rival in the other team , its cool . Good episode . |
| Such a good episode! I can't help but chuckle when Tanaka said that city boy part. Poor Kenma got scared because of Kageyama. Looks like the next episode will have a new opening, as well as another ending. I hope it'll be as good as the first one. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| while on the one hand hinata and kageyama get along better now, the team has yet to gather experience. that's what made the difference in this match as the coach from nekoma said himself - it's not about strong spikes etc but rather about how 'connected' the team is. |
 |
| Holy shit, this OST is too much. 10/10 OST right here guys!! |

| This anime's characters are so good. |
| This ep was so lovely and funny haha. <3 Everything what Tanaka does is alwyas funny as hell I swear. |

| LOL love how the similar members of both teams became buddies. Hinata and the other middle blocker jumping around, and Tanaka's brilliant line "When you talk to her and she ignores you, it's still pretty good." xD 5/5 |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| So many similar personalities, they're going to be great rivals :D - It'd be fun to see them in the finals if they both even make it. Great match, absolutely loved it :D |

| That was a cool episode. I like how the Neko team was characterized using 'one more' as well, and winning the game with good skill and team spirit. It was cool to see stuff such as the libero(?) get better and better at returning Asahi's spike. The villainous member Kuro is a Tsukki counterpart so criticizing him and not Tsukki would be somewhat hypocritical, and I love Tsukki. I don't know what the trope is called but the trope where two hot headed, intimidating bro's fight and learn to admire each other becoming great friends is enjoyable. I've seen it here and in Boku no Hero and I know I must have seen it elsewhere. Hinata and his new friend jumping up and down exclaiming how cool the other is, and Tsukki and Kuro mocking them was hilarious. In fact, the entire second half after the game made me feel warm and laugh a lot with how much they were getting along. This was a great experience for Karasuno, our new team got to play together and Hinata got put on his way to carrying his own weight. The phrase, "an oni and his club" was cool enough, but now that they've seen a smart team counter the oni by blocking his club Hinata started to form into an oni himself, to make "a pair of oni". That is too cool and a beautiful way to look at it. A few highlights were Kuro's amazing fake quick and Hinata broadening his perspective and calling out the decoy by one touching Inuoka's ball, and obviously what Haikyuu has shown to be a strong suit- it's amazing final points. Asahi's spikes getting blocked but keeping the ball in the game, Hinata and Kageyama's intimate moment and open eye'd slow spike, and finally Kenma's last minute save. That was fantastic. I'm real glad this didn't rush into tournament arcs. We've had tons of time to build up the characters and their skills at this point, so when they end up winning at tournaments it wont feel stupid and contrived, or so I think it won't. We saw them lose every set but learn as it went on, bringing Neko to deuce twice from the looks of it. It's nice. Side note- I started to tell myself "one more!" when wanting to give up without even truly aiming to and it's been helpful already. This anime is a good influence! |
Amazing match ! He is too precious for this world |
 |
| they took 3 in the ass. |

| hmm a crushing defeat second in a row... if we take the local team into account |
 |
| Damn they didn't even win a single set, really all they need is more practice as a team. |
 |
| I like this episode. Funny moments, likeable rivals and no forced defeat. It seems that I finished the first half of the first season. I must say it was pretty decent. |

I really liked the diverse plays Nekomata pulled out for these games. Cool strats! |
 |
| haha Karasuno lost 3 times in a row |
 |
| These last two episodes are two of my favorite eps in the series. I love Nekoma so much! |
 |
| I assume this marks the end of the first arc. I loved it tbh especially thanks to Asahi and the other third-years and second-years. Now on to the intern arc. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Great game!!! I am glad that they lost. It would have been awkward if they had won after this. Karasuno did well even though they are just a new team, also not formed properly. It was a practice match but still very intense. The after match meeting was quite well. I like that they complemented each other. That would help both of the teams. Hinata getting pumped up and the "One more" thing was quite funny, XD!!! |
| They really spent the effort building up the rivalry, gotta love that! |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| something had been missing from the previous episode last scene, felt like they rushed it so this match will be over quick. i would really prefer them to make the match little longer while making the "epilogue" part shorter, it was too cliche lol. |
| I hope Ukai can get his revenge at the Nationals :) Lol but anyway, I like Nekoma's players already. It was a great match! It showed we still have a long way to go. And the OST was pretty good. |
 |
| fun episode again. lot's of wholesome moments between the teams after the match that were fun to see |
| A very wholesome way to end the game. Seeing them get along after really made it that much better. |
 |
| Peak match!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| What a BS of a match point, there is no way a ball as slow as that wouldn't be caught after such a lousy play |
| The match was really entertaining to watch sheesh + the OST was really good as well. Betting the next episode or the episode after it will have a new op and ed and I'm looking forward to em. |
