Haikyuu greatness!!!!

I love the transition into this season, everything was smooth and the animation is always BEAUTIFUL (I.G <3).

Dat Ushijima, the Eiji Sawakita of Haikyuu.

SPYAIR should do all of Haikyuu's OP(s) btw.

Precious Hinata is back! Really liking the opening and ending so far, and Hinata's badass mode is best. Definitely a good start.

An absolutely incredible first episode. I don't think any other series fills me with as much joy as Haikyuu!! does. Hinata leaping to grab the volleyball was such a great moment.

KITA!!!!! THE VOLLEYBALL IDIOTS ARE FINALLY BACK! :D

All I can say is that everyone sure is hyped. Lol.

Episode 1 buildup was intense!
Can't wait for episode 2! I've been resisting to read the manga since last year... since it's more fun that way I guess? I'm pretty sure when S2 ends I'll immediately binge-read the manga tho XD

This way OUT OF THIS WORLD good. Seriously. Animation, OST, OP, ED. EVERYTHING. God I loved it. The built up was insane. Can't wait to see an actual match now. Kagayama and Hinata are an awesome duo. Loved their facial expressions during the dialogue with the big boss. Seems like a new girl will join the team next episode~

First off, the opening was awesome. The animation was on point and the song was catchy and so. HYPE. Also, it was awesome to finally see all the characters from the manga, even if it was just the opening. Anyway, this episode was hilarious (especially at the end) and I honestly couldn't ask for more.

Glad to have this show back! And whoa, it's on Saturday night now, which makes life even better. That intimidation scene with Japan-kun and Hinata was intense and hyped me up.

Hope next episode isn't just studying! lol

Also, love the new OP and ED, although new ED is an instant-download because Galileo Galilei!

oh man! I'm even more intrigued now! they switched up the events of things, Yachi hasn't been introduced yet but they've already done the Ushiwaki thing! which happens a couple of chapters after we meet Yachi.
I'm interested, I wonder what they're going to do because I doubt they're forgoing the first Tokyo training camp or Yachi's introduction/development!
I'M SO EXCITED!

Great episode to start of the season. Well timed comedy with great scenes that show how dedicated the team is right now.

One thing that I definitely missed from this series was the art. Imo, this has some of the best character designs for any sports series.

I'm so happy it's finally here! I'm glad that they brought in Ushijima in the first episode, because that's what this season is going to be about; defeating Seijo, then Shiratorizawa, who are the ultimate opponents. It sets the tone.

I loved the match at the beginning. I keep replaying it over and over again because it's just so great. I love how Tanaka is now including Kageyama in high-fives, because he now knows that Kageyama is okay with it.

As someone who has read the manga and is currently up to date, it'll be interesting to see what else they change. This episode's change was for the better. Let's hope that this season blows the first out of the water! (and as the first was amazingly perfect, that'll be hard to do!)

Can't wait to see Yachi Hitoka!

OMG, SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!

Top tier first episode! Loved the practice match snippets that were inserted by the animation staff before the Tokyo announcement. And then Hinata and Kagayama meeting Ushijima was soooo hype! Then ending was simply hilarious with Take-sensei's reaction to the scores and the way Hinata, Kagayama, Nishinoya, and Tanaka tried to avoid the reality of their tests. XD

Not to mention, opening and ending were stellar too!

Ah yesss... its back!!!


Missed them so much... and we finally get to see Ushijima!
Nice to see Hinata so fired up and motivated over this.
The part where he went "JAPAN?!" was mad funny.

Final part was cool too. Shows you how tough it is to be a student athlete... gotta balance them both studies and sports.

Too much Oikawa, 0/10.

Real talk though, why doesn't sensei just move their supplementary classes? They did that in Yowamushi Pedal lol, this is just unnecessary exam drama.

1ep is amazing. I was laughing so hard a few times, so it's seems that 2nd season will be as good as 1st season. I missed so much Hinata, Yuu... wait, i missed all the team. I can't wait for next episode! It'll be a week full of impatience.
