| I don't understand the "tempo" stuff. What do they mean by that? tfw Kiyoko will never smile like that at you. ;_; |
ibear said: It was nice watching the tall guy dominate for few minutes, if only it lasted longer. Lol I feel you. I'm 6'4 and I get bothered by this a lot in anime/manga. Where Japan makes short guys always come out on top of bigger more physically domineering guys or have the leader or the best person of a group be the shortest one in it. Pretty emasculating feeling. Haikyuu justified it in this episode though since the tall guy was new to game and Karasuno used strategy to win. |

| That glasses adjustment and finger wrap... Midorima gave up Basketball for volleyball huh? |

| Yachi being Yachi is the most adorable Yachi <3 Hinata trying the attack he learned from Bokuto was awesome! |

| Hmm, those guys made top 4? It's gonna get really interesting when all these top teams start playing each other. Should set up for some hype matches 😊 |
| What, no gif for that scene where Kageyama is wiggling his fingers and gets called a pervy old man? :O Arrogant guy trying to lay his hands on Kiyoko?? Nishinoya, Tanaka, go rekt em! |
| that tall guy is like the only dude that felt like a threat so of course they were gonna win |
 |
| Karasuno made it ! I love how the ennemie team was desperate when Karasuno made the synchronized attack xD. |
| this is my fav ep of the season so far, looking at how far they've come ;_; alot of funny moments as well |
| Quite the match, but lol at the face Yachi made when Hinata and Kageyama used their new quick xD |
 |
| Why are the scores always so close in this anime... They had so much trouble against that second-zone team, what was that training camp even for ? The power-scale in this anime is really bad. |

If I'm not mistaken they're using rally scoring meaning every single play ends with a point scored.Why are the scores always so close in this anime...

kityiwu said: Mormegil said: I don't understand the "tempo" stuff. What do they mean by that? Isn't the tempo thing refering to the timing of the spiker's approach run? Tempo 3 means the spiker starts the approach run after the setter tosses the ball. Tempo 2 means the spiker starts running at the same time as the setter tosses. Tempo 1 means the spiker has already started the approach when the setter tosses. In this case, Minus tempo means that by the time Kageyama tosses the ball, Hinata has already completed the approach and IS ALREADY in the air. I am not a volleyball player so this could be inaccurate though. This is what I understood from this episode °w° Thank you for the clear explanation. That makes sense. |
theKeima said: can someone pls tell me what chapter is this episode in the manga? I want to start reading it. Episode ended with chapter 105, so you can read from there. Although, I recommend reading the entire manga from the beginning. It'll still be fun to read ^^ |
 |
| That episode engaging, very intense storytelling, rhythm was suitable for an event like a game of volleyball, drawings and animations always big-like quality, the characters always bright and pleasant to follow. The finish is a whole program, Yay! |
 |
| Enjoyable match with catchy strategies and easy to follow. Good pacing as well. Kiyoko getting hit on by those delinquents... I think i have seen that piercing guy before, maybe in earlier episodes but he's definitely in a strong team Coldblade said: LOL!Midorima dyed his hair: |

| Versus The Advantage of HEIGHT !! Don't back down !! Two meters Tall of the Preliminaries ~ . Minus Tempo and Synchronized Tempo !! Hinata you've done well to protect the MANAGER !! (Goddess ~) VERY GREAT EPISODE !!! Out of the prelims !! They made it through !! |

| I love it whenever Ryuu goes into hoodlum mode xD Can't wait to see them beat that lover boy's team, especially since they made it to the semis. |
 |
| at first it seemed like that team would be a problem but when it became clear that they only focus on one guy who hasn't even any experience at all it was no big deal at the end. funny how hinata tried 'rescue' that woman. |
 |
| LOL Hina is so precious tryna protect Kiyoko-chan while shaking ahhahaa <3 A++ for effort lololol This match was sooooo good! I didn't expect them to win both sets but I'm glad it turned out that way :D I thought it would be lose 1st set then bam bam win the next 2 sets haha |
----------------------- just one thing: that stare...  |
 |
| Hinata's starting to get too good man |

| I don't get this "best eight" stuff. Weren't Karasuno in the best eight as well? Since they lost in the quarterfinals. They don't do a great job explaining the tournament mechanics. |
| That ending was funny |

| Hinata is so precious. He's so cute trying to protect Shimizu. His bento box tho lolol Welp so they still won. Poor tall guy lol. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Oh man, that was close. I'm glad they did this. Now I can take a deep breath. |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| Yachi was so cute :D They quickly got used to the 2meter tall guy. |
 |
| This was an awesome episode. Very short match. But very freaking sweet! I knew from the start that it would be an easy fight compared to the real challenges they've faced because they had one hurdle to surpass, not many, and of course Karasuno can surpass one hurdle. However, this fight focused on Karasuno's cogs moving far more than the last did and it made it very satisfying. The David vs Goliath battle of who could reach the highest point first is great, but seeing Asahi dive like they had to so many times, and seeing Tsukki dominate the blocking when the giant wasn't involved, seeing Hinata scan the blockers for an opening twice like Bokuto showed him with the training from Ukai under his belt, the synchronized run, and many more. The last match focused on the opponents but his one focused on Karasuno and it was good. Hinata and Kageyama are a match made in heaven. No one else would have the ability to trust in each other to the degree they do, improve at a radical pace that both keep up with and ultimately be able to hit a minus tempo as they did. We already knew it but now we're seeing it in all its glory. Right as I was saying that the giant would be so scary next year now that his competitive drive has been fueled Ukai took the words out of my mouth. And, we got a good introduction with those bad boys. There's something about the new antagonist's cadence and smugness that I love. I can't quite place it but I cannot wait to see more of him. DId anyone else catch Yachi taking notes on tempo? It was adorable. |
| WOAH! I appreciate now how important the height in sports! wahhh Hinata having a hard time T--T but the Duo make a comeback <3 mwahahah I saw it! when Hinata do serve, Tsukishima protect his head lol |

| hmm defeating the tall guy team was a feat in it self |
 |
| I thought that 2meter guy is just really unfair but turns out experience is more important. And seeing people's reaction to Hinata's quick attack never gets old. |
 |
| That height is just unfair to deal with ;( |
 |
| how is this match pointless????? it clearly shows their improvement & their growth & i don’t think i want to watch them suddenly play a match with the stronger teams either, the pacing is just right for me anyway LOL @ noya & tanaka lmao these 2 seriously crack me up!!!!! was hoping that guy with the tongue piercing would be more likeable but no he hits on kiyoko right off the bat. he’s really hot tho lol |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Yes, classic anime for you - "minus tempo" |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| super cool to see them easily defeat the first team! it really seemed like all their matches against powerhouse teams were worth it. though i really enjoyed seeing the story behind the first team karasuno played against — i was almost rooting for them lol. really heart touching to see them play till the last second & to see the captain in that team too! |
| Hinata was absolutely sugoi this episode! I hope we see more of Tall Dude in the future; I think that he'll be even stronger and scarier. He might even grow more too! Hinata's lunchbox though oml that was so cute x3 |
| Last two episodes were meh, they could end the first half of the season much better or at least with 1 match during 2 episodes and not 1 match per episode. The opponents didn't have much of a personality either or their character is based on tropes -tall guy and thug face guy-. I was enjoying the season until episodes 12-13. Anyways, the first haf of this season is still quite good. 7/10 for the first half. I'm going to continue later. |

| Great episode. Ukai-sensei is really something else and only that kid was basically there to make sure that we don't forget the terms used hence why he kept asking about anything. Again, great opening and ending, hoping the next episode features new ones (also getting closer to HIKARII ARREEEE). |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
