| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, I just love the theme song and OST of this season. Good start for the second half of the season. I like the comedy of it although the pacing felt somewhat slow. However, the buildup is intimidating. Bokuto's comedy still shows, we got some conversation about timing mechanics, and in general a nice overview about volleyball strategies. Short but insightful. I think timing is pretty important during any game for a team.  Is it also just me or did the OST feel really natural? I liked it for sure. |

| Megane guy reporting on the game to his brother. He was invited to check on his brother's team to experience it's possible even if it seems impossible (blocking someone who's higher). New OP. It was good? I cannot really judge it well. Setter guy wanted to check NamiDai's team, and not good at disguise. Wearing normally does not work because of his aura. He got excited after checking up on it. He can control anyone. There's another hidden member of NamiDai's character... Megane guy trying to figure out his problem that reluctant to figure out...timing, huh. More practices and KajiKaji's character is surprised at main guy's improvement. Even the new manager has improved. lol @ managers part. Wow, meeting "scary" people at the toilet is more leveled up than usual. ED is ok. Showing manga panel in anime. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| THE HYPE IS REAL!!!!!!! The new OP song isn't better than the first one imo but it was still great nonetheless and it even featured a lot of my boy Oikawa HHHNNNNNGGGG Speaking of Oikawa, I love how much hype and screentime he is getting and I especially loved that showdown between the big boys at the end....Poor Hinata got caught in the middle lol and I died at the part where Nishinoya and Tanaka finally found out about the playboy guy hitting on their waifu xD The training stuff was fun as usual but I'm even more proud of Tsukki in particular with each episode like this and boy is he growing so much :''') Everyone grew a little more at that too which made me proud But alas, the tournament of the GOAT's is finally upon us and my body body not ready for all of these matches lol |

| Damn that was a good OP. Tsukki improved his blocking skills and we even saw a little glimpse of Yamaguchi's improvement as well. Bokuto is still as hilarious and hyper as ever, and I loved seeing Tanaka and Noya's reaction to that guy who hit on Kiyoko (as well as seeing them freeze in midair). That must have been super awkward for Hinata getting caught in the middle of Seijo and Shiratorizawa. He should try to avoid bathrooms at all costs lol. I'm excited to see what I'm sure will be awesome matches between all of these talented teams. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Didn't like the new OP. I didn't know Shiratorizawas motto was "With intense force"^^ All in all good episode. |
| Dat OP was so damn HYPE!! So much fun this ep. Loved the montage. Bravo to Yamaguchi finally succeeding :D Yachi suggesting to Kageyama that he should just wear normal gym clothes was so lol Tsukki's development just keeps on getting better and better. Lol'd how he was thinking of how people have been saying he sucks recently XD Can't wait for Tsukki's new glasses Loved seeing Nekoma and Bokuto again. His reason for wanting tsukki to win against Ushikawa being that he'll be better than him indirectly was priceless Tanaka and Noya's faces when Kiyoko was being hit on were so damn hilarious LMAO Man The bathroom is Hinata's most formidable opponent!! He should stop going there or he'll die from a heart attack soon hahaha Didn't expect Tendou's hair to be that red. |
 |
| You gotta love Haikyuu. The anime never fails to amaze me and it's so well done. When I watched first episode of first season I knew that it would be a baller <3 |
 |
| Tsukki is still trying to improve *sniff* I'm so proud. It looks like Yamaguchi has improved his weird serve too. Hope to see it in action soon. I love how much Yachi gets through to Hinata and Kageyama, always fun to watch. And Hinata's "there's always bad encounters at the bathroom" was hilarious lol |
 |
| another great episode! i swear, haikyuu never disappoints. the opening was really good! it's a really catchy song. i was so happy to see kageyama's disguise animated! kuroo, kenma, bokuto and akaashi also made an appearance! it was nice seeing them again, although it's only been a couple of episodes. and tsukishima is also working very hard to improve! the bathroom scene also cracked me up! i have a feeling that this cour is going to be amazing! |
| oh, I really missed my weekly dose of Haikyuu, love this anime |
| :3 |
| The new Ending was awesome!!! |
 |
| Loving the new opening. So hyped for the rest of this tournament. Hinata and his bathroom antics are always hilarious. Even he has become aware of them! |
 |
| The theme songs & OST are perfect as always! love it! And the comedy make my day complete! (っ˘ڡ˘ς) ♥ |
   |
| TSUKKI HYPE INCREASING!!! And Yamaguchi's serve broke Nishinoya! That was a very nice scene :) |
| The bathroom scene was hilarious & intense at the same time, Hinata is so unlucky lol! I love seeing them training, especially Tsukki. I can't believe I never paid attention to this guy before. Also I like Mad-dog, he's funny especially around someone like Oikawa. He seems strong too. I'm looking forward to the matches after all this build-up, this series never disappoints. 5/5 |
 |
| That SMIRK TSUKKI :D :D And when Tanaka and Nishinoya were gonna ferrel attack that dude; HILARIOUS! And that bathroom scene; Hinata's bumping into all the big dogs :P Lol, I like when the white haired guy bowed when he bumped into Hinata; that was cute :) I'll have to get used to the new OP & ED. Nonetheless, awesome episode as usual <3 |
| Love the new OP and ED. So, when Yamaguchi is going to be a starter? It`s about time I think. |

| OP and ED are better than the previous ones imo I like the focus on Tsukishima, hope we'll get to see Yamaguchi improving soon as well, I was so glad for him when he actually managed to do that serve Hinata meeting Oikawa, Ushiwaka and that guy from Dateko was a hilarious scene. I swear Haikyuu episodes seem the shortest of all. I'm overhyped now. alpha_shadow said: oh, I really missed my weekly dose of Haikyuu, love this anime and this of course |
 |
| The OP and ED are great, I like both the songs and the visuals, awesome animation in the OP and the manga style in the ED is wonderful. Props to I.G. for the consistent high quality this season, it's really impressive Also it's these little moments that add so much character to all of the players like the intimidating guy with the white hair who bows to Hinata. Cute. |
| Yess! What a great start to the second cour. I'm loving the OP and ED. The visuals are no joke. We, finally, met Kyouken-chan. Tsukki seeking to improve, cooperating, and asking questions. I love the reactions of Bokuto and Coach Ukai to that loool The bathroom scene was hilarious. Ushiwaka can't read the atmosphere, I cry. He's so dense, it makes him very cute. Aone walking in without knowing what was going on, and just formally greeting Hinata xD I'm looking forward to the Johzenji match. Those guys are very charismatic. Also, Tsukki's goggles make a debut next episode! Cannot wait. |
| Omg lesson learned: toilet is where you meet all the scary people xD |
 |
| Fantastic and hilarious episode as always! I hella LOLed at the part when Hinata was panicking about entering the bathroom. xD And the new opening was nice, although I liked the first one a bit better. Looking forward to the match next episode ! <333 |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Another great OP song although I think I liked the first one a bit more. ED song is great as well. Back to training for Karasuno. Great to see Tsukishima asking for advice on how to block from Ukai and the training montage was great to see. Lol Kageyama in disguise and trying to act natural with that dark aura. Well back to the qualifiers and some powerful teams are there. Lol Hinata encountering Oikawa, Iwaizumi and Ushiwaka outside the toilet area. Cannot wait for the up coming matches for the 2nd half of this season. Next up Karasuno vs Johzenji. |
"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) |
| More Tsukki and Iwazumi/Oikawa. My fangirl heart is pleased. Bokuto's ":O" when Tsuki enters the court When a ball hits Tanaka and he falls down When Noya and Tanaka turns into beasts to protect Kiyoko and they stop mid-air Yamaguchi's serve More IwaOi scenes 20 minutes arent enough :( |
| The new OP and ED are so great. This episode was amazing, especially Oikawa, Ushijima and Hinata building up some tension towards the end. Now things are getting serious! Can't wait to see how Karasuno will do :3 |
 |
| Hinata's Crazy Bathroom Adventure |

do u even smug bruh |
 |
| DAMMNNNNNN this show always gets me so f'ing hyped, them toilet meetings though |
| HUHU THE OPENING THEME SONG HAS CHANGED :( IT'S NO LONGER A SPYAIR SONG </3 Oh well... I really like how Kuroo and Bokuto calls him "Tsukky" :"> So adorable :"> Terushima is still hot as always. Oikawa I missed you! And yeah the washroom scene was so funny :)) |
| Thought that playboy guy was calling for Tsuki at first. |
 |
| New op is bomb as fuk |
 |
| It should be illegal for an anime to get you this hyped. |
 |
| I adored the animation and visuals of the new opening, the music not so much. Regardless, great episode and I can't wait for more |
| Love the new opening!! And this scene xD |

 |
| GO KARASUNO! GO! The bathroom scene was just epic XD So much Hype for the rest of the tournament. |
 |
| That was a real treat after the new years break. New OP animation is amazing and both new songs are great as well. I'm not a huge fan of Tsukki but seeing him grow makes him infintely more likeable. As usual the only bad thing about an episode of Haikyuu is the feeling of "I can't fucking wait for next week" it leaves you with... |
