| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ooh catchy theme song. They didn't waste much time getting right into another match already for the second half. The pacing is tense from both sides although Karasuno seems more like an underdog here. So much energy from the crowd too. I feel like every second in this match mattered to both teams. Some of Hinata's expressions were gold though this episode. Welcome back Haikyu. |
 |
| Hinata's instincts got sharper, even though his reaction was fast but when the ball approached Hinata, he often failed to defend the ball. And the twins were amazing, their attacks were like, Hinata and Kageyama's attacks |
 |
| OP is so so Mamo's character sometimes shows that kid expression. It showed when main guy got in. Audiences affecting gameplay... Wataiko team to the rescue? Thinking it was for main guy, but for captain. Mamo's character's tricky. The steps are useless? Twins using main combi's skill? ED is cool |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Well, Haikyuu is finally back. New OP and ED are nice. Excited to see how they decide to deal with the twins coz manga readers have really been hyping this match up. |
| Wow, they really just jumped right into the match. I enjoyed this episode, especially after the break from the last part of the season. Both the OP and ED are amazing, but I was kind of expecting better visuals for them both. It's so sad seeing One Day being so hype and just having a few pictures on the screen during the chorus. Maybe that's just me, though. Either way, I'm super excited to have Haikyuu! back!!! Also dang, it only took like 1.5 minutes into the episode before I had secondhand embarrassment from Hinata doing something stupid again ๐ |
 |
| Haikyuu is back. It feels like a long time since we saw the first part. Hinata's reactions were quite amusing in this episode. So Atsumu and his twin brother can do the Hinata's and Kageyama's shot. Now that's interesting. |
 |
| Great episode to start off the second half of this season. The OP and ED were good, the visuals for them were even better. Can’t wait for the rest! |
| This is the start of Tsumu's legend, he's my fav setter from Haikyuu. That quick from Tsumu and Osamu will surely surprise anyone who's seeing it for the first time. Glad to have Haikyuu anime back. |
 |
| This episode was slick. That aside a lot of people are watching the match between Karasuno and Inarazaki. Inarazaki has yet to really show their power. Their cheer squad is troubling but Karasuno's cheer squad just showed up to even the scales. That aside. The twins show their attack and it seems more troubling because it is the same such as Tobio's and Hinata's attack. This will not be an easy team to beat since they both got the cheering squad and the skills to pressure Karasuno. |
| Better premiere than most I saw today, and already better than To The Top season 1 although it felt so weird just jumping immediately to the match with no transition when this match should take most of the season, if not all of it. I generally didn't care for this match at all in the manga but the anime music and movement of the players and plays should recover my interest a bit. Plus atleast we get actual volleyball now, which is something positive compared to the previous season which felt like it dragged an eternity without much of it due to training that didn't get me hyped. OP was solid, SPYAIR ed song was really nice and upbeat. Preferred the previous season's ED though from CHiCO and Honeyworks though but I loved this nonetheless. |
| Having read the manga I can't wait for everything to happen in animation form. Nice start. |
| That was sooooo good! I love the art and animation and both OP and ED sound so nice as well! Looking forward to the next ones |
 |
| Haikyuu is back continuing the match from the last season. The op is good. Atsumu and Osamu pulling of Hinata and Kageyama's quick is sooo cool. The ed is great but it's really reminding me that Haikyuu the anime is ending soon. But nice episode. |
| The J-rock OP and Ed fit great with the previous OPs and Eds. I’m happy about the tonal consistency overall. It was interesting to focus on the drums as a factor influencing each team’s performance. Definitely intrigued by that concept and wonder what else Furudate has up his sleeve. The animation was solid, and humor was good. It really feels like Haikyลซ. Inarizaki looks like such a cool team as well, and this match has a lot of potential. Hoping to see more of the Atsumu twins. Daishou appeared too, which was cool to see. It was cool to see Noya acknowledge Hinata’s improvement in trying to receive. That was also a nice touch. |
 |
| ahh im so happy its back! super hyped for this season, great first episode. :D |
| the amount of stay-still image terrify me.. the op & ed is great tho. wish they only saving the budget for the climax part.. |
| Welcome back, Haikyuu!! and it’s normal services for the series! Another great episode! I knew the twins had a secret weapon too but who would’ve thought it’d be a freaky quick? And that too on par with Kageyama and Hinata’s. Yikes, the despair on some of the faces on the Karasuno camp really hurt... “You might’ve figured it out but that’s just the starting line” - Damn, this part was lit too! Not everyday you’ll see Nishinoya struggle like that, that’s for certain. On the contrary, I’ll never get tired of those shocked expressions when our Karasuno duo cranks it up and this is just another one of ‘em. Saeko-oneesan bringing her squad along and totally flexing on her awesomeness was cho-cool. Definitely an underrated character of the franchise. A certain someone is paying an awful lot of attention on Tanaka, how sweet is that. Op and ED seem pretty nice too. Personally, I prefer the first ED more but I think the this Op hits the notes just as greatly as Phoenix did. Absolutely looking forward to more! I don’t know if I’ll be able to stay up to 3:30-04:00 am for the upcoming episodes (except for the last) but I’ll still be putting this to first priority every Sun mornings. |

| Bruh this episode was literally the best I was screaming at every moment smh. Saeko-neesan was freaking awesome honestly i was so happy they brought the aspect of cheering into it and not just the game place. Ugh and the twins- im dying i swear when they did that quick in the end my whole body went into chills. |
 |
| It's back! Hinata still can't receive the ball but will probably be able to receive in few episodes. Those twins are amazing. |
 |
| Finally the spokon of recent years is back and Hinata and co, are ready to play some Volleyball!!! 1st episode and we´re right in the match, with moments full of tension for both teams, but our guys are ready and we have some really good movements... So, great start to this 2nd court, I just hope the series keep and get even better the next episodes!! |
| Love the new OP! I also loved seeing Bokuto, Akaashi, and some people from the training camps, etc. Ending was super cute too seeing some other characters!! Can't wait for next week :) |
 |
| So glad it's finally back, this was a pretty solid episode! Got me hyped already. |
| The opening is decent, might grow on me. As of now my impression is that it lacks energy. Opening 3 and 4 are still best and even the last one was better. But anyway, after the brutal cliffhanger the second cour is finally here and with one hell of a lively start thanks to the fact that there are so many spectators we know, special mention to Saeko nee-san. She's simply the best :D Another factor gotta be Inarizakis cheering squad. Was already intimidating in the manga, but seeing it animated is definitely on another level. The instrumentals are pretty nice to listen to and give the atmosphere a nice touch. I liked the tracks and soundeffects in general in this episode. That one during the Miya quick was chill inducing. Overall a great start with exciting plays. That's how I love Haikyuu, so hyped for the remaining episodes. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| idk ab ya'll but you can catch me vibing to both the op and the ed because they both slap. also seems like things are heating up between the miya twins now.. can't wait to see all of this progress :p |

| Noooo! The twins stole Hinata and Kageyama's special skill! Damn them... but also I already love them so much haha It's hilarious how upbeat and childish Atsumu is in comparison to Osamu who is so damn gloomy and looks at his brother with such bewilderment haha It's so annoying that the spectators can bring in an entire frickin' BAND to throw off the players. Instruments shouldn't be aloud cause it takes the point away from the game. |
 |
Some people watch it live and can understand japanese.... About the episode... It felt a bit off, some of the timing, flow and cutoffs were not off the normal quality. The episode started abruptly, and it kinda ended abruptly. Hope rest of the season will be great as usual though. |
| Really hope they do justice to this arc, this is just starting point so big stuff hasn't started yet but future episodes are gonna be really exciting and Miya twins quick attack was done well too overall I'm happy that haikyuu is back. |

| Its baaaack, welcome haikyuu. Now episode 14 was supposed to be in the last scene but for some reason they didn't. The art style is great the animation is sooo good wtf when hinata did that feint spike I was shook. The Miya twins ahhh. When I watched TTT 1st season i didn't have an image of atsumu as the "Ya like jazz" bee and Sangwoo, but now i do....heh Osamu is a freaking angel I now love him sm. Their relationship reminds me of oikawa and iwazuimi's BOKUTO AND AKASHI YESS, glad that they were on the sidelines. Akashi giving his anaylisis and bokuto... being bokuto and being proud of his student. Saeko looks so good wow. Can't wait for the next episode. 5/5 Great start. I'm a Knb stan but haikyuu gives me raw serotonin. |
 |
| Welcome back Haikyuu!! Love how characters from older teams made appearances in the OP & ED. My heart skipped a beat when Oikawa showed up in the OP lol. A really strong start for the 2nd cour, and it seems like the animation will be more consistent & fluid than the first part. Inarizaki's marching band & cheering section really add pressure to the atmosphere of Nationals— that's something Karasuno hasn't really had to deal with so far. Also, the visuals were stunning, especially the warped, green tones they used when Kageyama analyzed Miya setting & delivering that quick!! Waiting a whole week is going to be sooo hard... it's off to a great start already! |
| I would be hella distracted too if enemy team was playing blue bird. |
| Finally, Haikyuu! is back. Great 1st episode, loving this match so far. |
 |
| damn finally Haikyuu is back and glad to see the animation is back to standards lol. But what a start that was lol, interesting to see if this match can live up to the previous 2 big ones |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| And we are back again with the Nationals! Part 2 here we go! As i expected, this is not going to be an easy game for Karasuno, Osamu is going to be one hell of an opponent for them, the guy seems to be a beast and is already showing his worth in this episode, wonder how the boys will counter him, can't wait for next week! |
 |
| Glad to have this back and fantastic episode on the whole. Action packed, exciting and energetic. Though it wasn't at the usual energy factors, mostly because of the more 'shock' moments in the episode. Inarizaki showing Karasuno what they're made of. All of their plays were pretty stunning and that final wierdo quick was insane. Even I was speechless. That said, all the Karasuno plays were glorious too. Saeko-nee san the true hero of this episode though, loved it when she showed up with the instruments. xD Can't wait for more. |
 |
| Got sooo much big Pee Pee energy watching this episode...damn! this show is an absolute bop |
 |
| I swear I fell in love with KnB many years ago, but Haikyuu is on another level when it come to everything around our characters, the environnment, the secondary char, even the music team on this episode was a great addition, it's really nice |
