This season no doubt is lacking when compared to the previous seasons but episode like this and the last few are the very reason why Haikyuu is still one of the top notch sport anime out there! Still trembling after watching this week episode!!

Best episode in all of Haikyuu so far! The teamwork, the attacks, the defense, everything was absolutely perfect. Can't believe only one more episode to go! I don't want Haikyuu to end 😭

What an amazing episode!! The match is finally over and boy the whole game was amazing except for a few animation hiccups (the outsourced ep). I think Inarizaki is now one of my favorite teams in Haikyuu.

And i'm definitely going to rewatch this in the near future by binging episodes back to back!

aot s4 with great visual and story: cgi is so bad

haikyu s4 with inconsistent drawing but great story: this is greatest sport anime

so haikyu fans are a lot better than aot fans, right?

Question for you guys, didnt Karasuno touch the ball 4 times at one point? Isnt that not allowed? It went from Tsuki Ball Touch, to Tanaka guy, to Kageyama to Azumane scoring?

the block doesn’t count as a touch

This has been the best episode of Haikyuu since to the top started. Although the animation had been worse than usual this entire season they really pulled out all the stops for this episode. It was so exciting and had me sweating the entire time such a good episode.

I will be honest, I liked the episode but the animation at some point of the episode is pure up trash. After watching the whole this season i read the whole manga of this match. and it is absolutely amazing. The anime was not that good but manga is awesome. I felt more attached reading the manga than watching the anime. I listened OST while reading and it was amazing. This season was bad IMO though like really bad compared to other seasons of haikyuu

as someone who was bored at the beginning of the match, the end was incredibly satisfying

I know i'm gonna get shit for this comment, but being someone who enjoyed the first 3 seasons so much, I can't help but feel a bit underwhelming after watching this supposedly most anticipated episode of the season. Idk, maybe its due to the fact that Karasuno is not the underdog anymore, the excitement of rooting for the underdog therefore no longer exists.

Man, I still remember the season 3 episode lenght where everyone complained about the anime cutting some parts from the manga. Even though I wish it was there, overall the season was amazing against Shiratorizawa.

Now people complain about this one because it was to long. This episode took around the same as against Shiratorizawa and Im all up for it.

Animations wise, there were certain episodes that were lackluster but man did they do good when it needed to be.
------
This "last"episode of the match was brilliant. Everything about it was perfect and freakin hype.

As a manga reader, next match will probably everyone favourite. If you think one was greatness (and rightfully so), you all are not ready for the next one.

I hope the next season is only 13-14 episodes so it deliveres animation wise.

This is why Haikyuu is one of my favourite Animes. The tension. All the pent-up energy. The release. It's all amazing.

Hinata & Kageyama both get the final point - the two first year heroes end the game!

Next week "The Promised Land" can't wait and then next month "The Promised Neverland"

This was such a good episode, definitely a highlight of the season and I'm glad this latest season finally got back on its feet after the rough start.

That ending and the whole build-up were just beautiful, Shoyo and Tobio blocking the twins' quick together was just genius. 10/10 ep.

OMFG my heart was pounding so hard in the second half! Beyond intense, but our boys did it! So much respect for Inarizaki cause they gave Karasuno a run for their money, right on their heels the whole time.

I'm so proud of the boys and how far they've come, especially Hinata. Worked his magic again this ep and kept the team grounded ❤

Something that did not sit right with me was the way they handled the final point. In the manga from the second Osamu jumps out from the back to the second he hits it is so packed with words and the empty parts of the pages are colored with black instead of of leaving it blank white. Its such tense imagery that is suddenly met with a pure bright colored block from Hinata and Kageyama. Its wordless, the drawings are very light. From that second to the second the the crowd screams is absolute silence. The anime was different. They shouldve cut the music the moment it was blocked. The tone of the scene was the same all throughout Idk it just did not sit right with me.

Haikyuu anime truly defines a perfect adaptation from the source material.
Beautiful moments being setup; the shots, lighting, osts, dialogues, and directing.
Brilliant choice of vignetting the screen right when karasuno was rushing to score the point. They all add to the experiences and adrenaline, of being there, of feeling the victory, the lose, the misses, and the moment they scored. The word i have left is satisfaction.

I give this episode a solid 5/5

This episode was amazing! ;u; Too much tension and the difficulty of this last set was too high. Everyone from both teams was already worn out when they reach at 30 points, and that's not easy to get there! Couldn't believe Karasuno mannaged to shut the game >w< I'm very happy they won this war! :D

That is the kind of Haikyuu that we know and love.

I really liked how they won by stopping their own attack, much like how it got stopped back in season 1. As far as game rallies are concerned, I would still place it behind the ones in Season 2 and 3, but it was still very well done.

Hinata’s the MVP too, his growth in this game’s got me feeling like a proud father.

- Kudos to the anime for when Karasuno were starting to speed up. I don't remember how I felt when I first read it, but the anime really made me feel the stress and rush
- thank god the anime managed to sneak in some Miyagi!commentary in the end. How I've missed the Date Tech boys
- that entire last point in general was lit, really
- inevitably due to the medium and the extra detail Furudate was able to put in the art, I prefer Kagyama/Hinata's block in the manga, but the anime still did a great job imo
