| I thought Yuni was a homie, i fucking hate him now. |
| The MC makes me consider dropping the show, because of how annoying he is |

be4 said: Well everything seems kind of fasted forward and surprise, surprise Haijima is turning more into a pain... Yeah, he's back to his old habits again.. In that scene you can see how his facial expression goes from surprise when he first notices him, to anger when he realizes what's going on, and then apathy as he looks away..  I hope they'll explore this toxic quality of his more.. Like where it's coming from.. |
| I get that it is a prologue but it doesn't excuse the fact that it felt way too goddamn fast. Also, fuck Yuni. |

dark-chaos said: this anime actually 10x better than Haikyuu!! - no wasting time for repeat comedic - no full season just for training arc - straight to the idea also I like the fact they focus on character development rather than stupid support tricks and supper moves if all support anime like this would be cool So you like an aniime with no depth straight into drama, action with no character building good to know..... I don't even like Haikyuu, but these complains seem terrible. |
| Really liking the transparency of emotions that Kuroba is expressing. As for pacing, I'm taking in the story as it happens. I'm hoping they introduced this friction in the relationship very early in the season in order to spend more time on how Kuroba and Hajima develop their friendship from here. ED comments: Love the off-pitch vocals in the ending. A great way to illustrate sincerity. |
| I feel like there's something more important I should be doing. |

I don't even like Haikyuu, but these complains seem terrible. idk what you mean by character building when only 2 episodes aired, anyway I didn't write my complaint on Haikyuu specifically it's meant for all sport anime in general and when I said 'it's 10x better' that depends on what I saw in this anime within 2 episodes compared with what I saw from Haikyuu in first 2 episodes, and I think I am free to write my opinion here, also I didn't ask anyone to accept what I said Idk why MAL members can't accept that there is in the world someone with different taste than them |

| I fairly enjoyed this episode. This is way more fast paced than haikyuu. The story is pretty good too. We'll just have to see how it wraps up in tweve episodes |
 ☆ |
| This anime is prob gonna be way more drama than sports, I understand yet I don't know what to think of it so far. |

It's official, he is the star of the show. |
| Ahh i see so this is still middle School huh .. so this is not even Seiin High school yet.. Damn so we got depressing MC here lol Got so overconfident on one match and then got destroyed on the next match... And thinking Haijima can carry the team alone.. calm down boy..lmao I'm sure next episode they gonna time skip into Seiin Highschool... |
 |
| Yuni did a 180° this episode. Wasn't expecting him to be this shitty but at least, he acknowledged he did bad in the end. |
| Tbh I don't mind about the pace of this episode. I didn't expect the tournament was going to be held so soon, but it was a good thing. About Yuni, I think his actions were comprehensible because he had never played before, and he probably felt the pressure after his good performance in the first match. And the fact that Haijima said he didn't know how to help him cause he never felt like that before didn't help either. The problem to me was that the team as a whole didn't talk about what happened in the second match. Haijima is so experienced they thought he could play alone - a big mistake. And Haijima is so op in middle school that I don't know if he understands his teammate's feelings at all. I blame all of them, to be honest. Yeah, Yuni's attitude was probably the worst, but it's not like the others did everything right. |
| Ah, so that IS the Fukui accent. I thought it was in the first episode, because the way they talk reminded me of Arata from Chihayafuru. I'm having a hard time connecting with the characters. Yuni is like "I don't care what people say about you, bro" and two minutes later he's dissing him? Hmmm... Yeah, I don't know. |
 |
| And so this went to the 6 scores gonna be hard for fans to pick up even if its get better. |
| I'm going to keep going I understand why the anime is focused where it is but there could have been a bit more to show between the devolution of Yuni's interest in Volleyball and his sudden about face turn against Hajime. Doesn't need a lot to fix the pacing just an additional episode to cover the brief middle school tournament and the relationship between the two main characters. But the fact it clearly needed to have extra input is a negative towards it. I'll give it to when it reaches the High school portion to make a final decision on if it's worth continuing. I still have hope and I'm not so quick to jump ship. |
 |
| May drop. Poor execution on the follow-up to a decent 2st episode. Zero build up to the tournament. Just a lame training montage. No connection with any characters. Where did this team come from? I pretty much stopped about half way through episode. The volleyball action wasn't even that great or exciting. I'll try rewatching Again, just poor execution imo |

Right? Yuni regretted what he did the next day, he even did a tearful 'I'm not giving up on us' inner monologue at the end..  Chika on the other hand sees himself as the victim who did nothing wrong and blames Yuni..  Basically he hasn't learned anything from his time on his old team or from this.. |
| Really feels like many people would've enjoyed this show more if they weren't under the impression that they're watching a sports anime. On a similar note, comparing a shounen sports series to a josei drama isn't really doing either show a favour, eh That being said, there were better ways to pace this prologue - some of the transitions were extremely tonally jarring and none of the emotional beats hit like they should've. Still, I'm sort of looking forward to watching these horrible people being sorta shit at volleyball. Sounds delightfully messy lol |
| Well, the pace was hella fast this time. The dialect kinda had a bit of irritation to my ears, tho. But, i may get used of it, somehow. Anyway, Chika highly motivated with all of those advantages. His goal rather too high with those countryside environment. However, since he was a brilliant setter, he could easily wipe out all the first-two games. But, everything won't be easily get over. The enemy succeeded to disturbed the match rhythm and clearly annoyed Yuni own play. As the result, its back to the same situations like in Tokyo. Yuni got a depressing matters and couldn't back himself up. He started to talk shit, and abandoned his role easily. In the end, the team decided to forfeit their stands in the game, cause its look like the team lack of players. Even Chika sufferred an injury too. Rip, then. Was that really over? Nah. Its only the beginning! |

| was half asleep watching this but haijima putting his hand on kuroba's lower back woke me right back up. |
| it was a little bit fast but yeah it's getting interesting |
No matter who much you regret or wish, if you couldn't do something in life, you can't do it after death, either. - Hanako |
| These characters are so frustrating and annoying. |
| Yuni and Chika both have problems, and they'll have to solve them to move forward. |
 |
| Haijima is skilled but being aggressive and insulting his teammates is not gonna make them better, and they're all depressed about the matches xD |
 |
| I'm not that suprised by Yuni's dick move to just not show up considering he stated last episode he easily loses interest in things. Hopefully meeting a disappointed Haijima there at the end is gonna change that scuffed aspect of him. |
 |
| I was thinking "that was fast" everything leading up to the tournament. But now he'll have to build the trust again, talking shit after just one game was really shitty lol but I'm glad he realized that. |
