| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm I think the episode was alright, pacing felt steady and there's some decent plays. I kinda like the more atmospheric music used in the second half of the episode. This final set definitely had some good moments though and I really like the raven metaphors. Plus, I think Tsukki had a nice showing for his team. |
 |
| My hat goes off to Tsukki, Tanaka, Mad Dog (And the guy that gave him that talk) and Hinata and Kageyama for that final play Nonstop intensity all around and I am loving how close this match is right now, but next week Karasuno, you guys gotta bring it home man At this rate, it looks like we won't get to see the finals this season sicne there's only 2 episodes left tho....That is, if Karasuno doesn't lose again |

I felt the need to see this,thank you Yahaba. You just grew in my eyes. This episode focused more on Mad Dog,which is meh because I still can't bring myself to like him,idk why.  I just love these two,lol. |
| YAHABA, you fucking savage! Holy shit, didn't expect that. Tsukki is really calm and smart at this point, good plays from him. The OST is fucking amazing. |
| Really nice episode. Next episode is probably the climax of the match. Can't wait for that. |
Lol, me too xD The episode was alright, but I think the art quality dropped a bit, and it kind of bothered me. |

| That was an amazing episode. That last spike by Hinata was beautiful. Fuck, got to wait another week for the conclusion of the match -_-  |
 |
| I wasn't expecting Yahaba to do something like that, most people would fear losing their life but he gave no fucks. Mad Dog needed some sense snapped into him. I can't wait to see the end of this match, next episode might give me a heart attack because of all of the intensity that will ensue. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Dang they're coming up with stuff on the "fly." |
| This final set is getting intense. Tanaka really firing up Kyoutani and he is making mistakes. Good thing they took him off the court for a while to cool down. Oikawa truly is terrifying. Always love watching his serves. Hinata and that accidental dump shot at the end. Very nice. 2 more eps to go. We are getting close to the end. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
lol that part was jokes xD |
| Yeah, Kyoutani definitely fell in love with Yahaba right there. |
| Final set, and they are close. Setter guy realized that the newly added member sees that delinquent looking guy as enemy and always aim him, and he kind of showed the form of accepting the challenge. The only think that newly added member of enemy team is valleyball because of his brother. Problematic guy, but still trusting in his skill, and a senpai forced in to calm down in a nice way. Another senpai in the flashback is another guy who talked to him when everyone's scared / talking about him behind his back. lol @ the main guy being too excited in a sense. 2 more eps. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I didn't really care too much for Kyotani's backstory but it was still nice to see. Tsukki's strategy was pretty cool. Based Tanaka lol Last spike was awesome! Can't wait for the rest of the match. |
 |
| Like the others have said, that final pretty much vertical spike was great. Great to see Mad-dog start to mesh with his team though I'm rooting for Karasuno. |
| I need sleep. |
This match makes me anxious. That last spike was awesome though.  |
| Hi there |
| A new attack from Hinata and Kageyama, nice one. |
 |
| Aaaand Hinata scores!!! Finally. ._. I was starting to think the Kageyama-Hinata tandem is dead. Tsukishima, kakkee! <3 I hope they finish the match next week. Can't wait! |

| Epic as usual. Tsukki shine is always awesome to see abd Kyoken getting that development was cool. Loved that spike Hinata made at the end. Risky asf but if he can use it more it'd definitely be an amazing weapon |
 |
| Everyone together now LET'S GO CROWS!!! God Damn you could feel the passion in this episode. I haven't had an OST fire me up this much since Naruto's. Music is fucking flawless. Finally the Main characters step the hell up. It was ncie to get some minor characters get some moments and develop the Villains but let's get some more Hinata and Kageyama dammit!!! Sensei has so much faith in this team to, my man never gives up, props to him. They better win so help me god! Also props to the sexy cheerleaders...lets not forget!  |

| I'm not the only person that wants a looping montage of nothing but all of Yachi's adorable cheering moments from this season, right? |
 |
| that last hit was insane, also kyou ken chan's bitter realisation face ahha |
 |
| Tsukki!!! My son, you're growing so much. Only 2 more episodes left. I guess it'll be similar to last season. Next episode will decide the game, then a wrap-up. |
| Holy sht, I completely forgot about the direct vertical spike that happened at the end from when I was reading the manga! :O What a great time for Kags and Hinata to discover that. Tsukki with some lovely reads; just gotta love those intangibles. Kyoutani also getting into groove after his early set mess-ups. This final set is all the HYPE! OSTs still god-like tier! ibear said: I'm not the only person that wants a looping montage of nothing but all of Yachi's adorable cheering moments from this season, right? No, you're most definitely not. I sure would love one too. xP |
 |
That moment tho^^ OMG... can't believe there are only two episodes now left... and then: what am I going to do then?! Anyway... OST!! GIVE ME THIS OST! There were plenty of moments where I thought... Give me the ost of this marvelous S2. The beautiful piano for instance that played when Tsukki left Kuroo, Bokuto and Akaashi, or the decent music that played just in this episode whilst Mad Dog's was shown. Intense as ever and I can't wait for next Sunday to watch (probably) the final of this intense match. |
| HYPE IS REAL, BOYSSSSS. |
 |
| Yahaba, you're the man. Everyone in this series is a beast. Tanaka & Mad Dog's rivalry was dope too. Tsukki's had so many great moments in this season, it makes me so happy <3 The last minute of this ep was so intense damn! I'm dying to see the next ep so tempted to read the manga too |
 |
| Fantastic episode, Loved every moment of it. Tsukki played really well, Reading through the lines, Setting up and making a lot of plays. The guy who gave Mad-Dog that pep talk was a pretty cool, The match is even more exciting now. The Oikawa Iwa-chan scene was hilarious xD Loved it when Hinata said "If I'm here, You're invincible ", Baseless courage XD That spike at the end was just amazing! Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| that scene at the end where hinata finally scores was awesome. this match is too hype D: |
 |
| I'm such a Seijou ho, so seeing them all getting along so well makes me tear up a bit. They're like a family. Kyoutani, my son, he looked so adorable in the flashback. I don't remember if that happened in the manga? But still, actual puppy. And the start of the Kyouhaba relationship in this episode. Some good shit. The animation looked so nice when Yahaba confronted Kyoutani. Too bad the animation was pretty meh the rest of the episode. I wonder if we'll get a season 3.. |

| I had to reply the final shot, that was brilliant Kageyama. On the other hand, Seijoh are awesome. Really really awesome. |

I hope there will be a season 3! >.< Me too!! Haha you got that right! xD |

Gaelenmyr said: Yeah, Kyoutani definitely fell in love with Yahaba right there. I did, too. *hearteyes* This was the cherry on top of the cake. Plus, Tsukki's strategizing! |
| The OST is so damn good. |
| :3 |
| Kyoutani had it taugh while he was young |
 |
Maximum435 said: The episode was great, the pacing is steady but not too slow nor fast. Not to mention, the OST is great as always. There's 2 more episodes to go, it'll be upsetting when this show is over. Ya hope there is a Season 3. Nice episode as usual. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
Iwa getting sent to battle like a goddam pokemon haha Loved this episode, just like the others. Took time to adress Kyouken-chan's character motivations and progression, but it didn't feel too slow. There was a slight drop in animation quality, but I'm hopeful the last two episodes will deliver. ''I feel my lifespan get shorter every time Oikawa-kun's time to serve comes around.'' A-fucking-men to that. |

| This is just getting more and more intense, didn't expect you end up liking Mad Dog either tbh. And that ending was just hilarious, I'm hyped for the next 2 episodes! It's definitely going to be intense. |
 |
| HINATA OMG HELL YEAH <3333 |
| The animation was quite average and the pacing felt slower than usual, but the match keeps remaining quite gripping. Shoyo and Kageyama have yet to have their own time to shine, so looking forward to that. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Ahhh. That time of the week where life is great for 20mins <3 Great episode, not as good as the previous one but that's okay. That bland guy that yelled at Mad dog made me cringe. Man, I love Tanaka so much. His face always makes me laugh. And the little bit of subtle interactions between him and other team members are so priceless. |
 |
| Solid episode as always. Awesome last spike. |
| :) |
| Really amazing!! each episode aired gives me the willies TT I'm already dying to see how the match ends |
