| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Kageyama gots more emotional again. Damn. Karasuno has trouble keeping up with Date Tech High although I can't blame them given how powerful Date Tech is. Glad to see some more of Tsukishima this episode on the field but I hope he can control his emotions better. Hinata got fired up too like usual. The king's crown imaginary scene was pretty cool. |
 |
| So there's a reason he said so to Nobu's character. He also became observative. Opponent team banner brought. Setter guy and megane guy in awkward atmosphere. Setter guy almost got back when Hosoya-san's character missed it, and main guy doesn't seem to mind. Communication problem. Making a crown hat out of towel making setter guy more relaxed. |

| Someone is seriously exaggerating when he say's this series is unwatchable due to the animation. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I thought Kageyama was being a little strange. At the same time I question if he is trying to help. I am also wondering if Karasuno is just doing something new. Date Tech is making major improvement with themselves. |
| Damn this was lit af in many ways. Tsukki's killer smile was the best thing in the episode XD. Hinata crowning Kageyama was a cool moment. |
 |
| Great 4/5 episode It's nice to see the King back |
| I was surprised by Kageyama's reactions in this episode. He even shouted at Asahi. Though Karasuno was able to get over it. Date Tech is quickly becoming one of my favourite characters in this series. Date Tech isn't an easy opponent. |
 |
| tfw even back in Karasuno, Hinata still isn't playing. I'm just gonna write him off for this cour, it's clearly more focused on his mental development than physical one but the way Kageyama and Tsuki exchanged glances was like when the 2 smart kids have different answers lol |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
mosam00 said: that's art style, animation and art style are different things.The animation really has not been bad at all, what are people on about? In fact i think certain characters, especially Hinata look better than before. |
| I loved this episode so much. The scene when Hinata gave Kageyama the "crown" left me speechless. It was amazing. Also loved the animation when Kageyama yelled at the team. His expression afterwards hurt though. "go go let's go let's go dateko!" war flashbacks. can't wait for next week! |
| Amazing episode. The animation was great compared to last few weeks so I have no god damn idea what some of you are talking about. I agree that the artstyle is an undeniable downgrade but for this episode there was some actual motion for the most part. But holy shit if Haikyuu doesn't have some of the best cast interraction I've ever seen. When Above started and Hinata made that crown I had so many chills. Love this show to death. |
| Man, this episode was both great and hilarious, I ended up taking a bunch of screenshots again. The animation was sleek too. Now that we have witnessed Hinata's character development in the first half, it seems like now's the time for Kageyama's character development. And lastly, Karasuno team has the best character interactions I've ever seen in anime, and this episode proved it once again. Oh, and Asahi is a pure angel. --- By the way, the commercial break animations this season seriously SUCK. It's always the same animation of baby crow Hinata flying. At least make baby crow animations of other members too for a change, smh. I miss previous seasons' skits. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Probably the strongest episode of the season. It was a little cheesy, yeah, but I still loved the scene where Hinata "crowned" Kageyama with that used towel lol. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| The problem with Kageyama most of the time is not WHAT he says but HOW he says it. I feel like the people around him accept him as he is but when he gets too aggressive (like at the start of this ep) there needs to be someone to bring him back down to Earth which is why him and Hinata work so well as a duo; Hinata isn't afraid to tell him he's being a dick haha! |
 |
| I think you guys can't complain about the animations since these are episodes that focus a lot on the growth and development of the characters. Animations are however at a more than acceptable level. Really good episode after all. Just wished to see hinata playing but it's fine since we saw more kageyama's development. |

| I loved Nishinoya's reaction when he realized what he did wrong, he instantly agreed with Kageyama lmao. Hinata is truly the backbone of Kageyama, he always got his back no matter right or wrong and he brings out the best out of Kageyama! With Kageyama getting over his "King" mentality and having his teammates support his actions and behaviors, both Kageyama and Karasuno now seem to work pretty smoothly together, they've surely improved their chemistry. It was nice to see that everyone is trying out new skills especially Tanaka, who most likely was inspired by Bokuto! This episode really reminded me of the Tokyo Training Camp in season 2, where Karasuno seemed like they were in a slump or isn't playing too well but they're actually just practicing their new skills to become even better! |
 |
| Fantastic episode as always. Kageyama realizing that to become his best self, he needs to be aware of his teammates but at the same time, not make up for all their shortcomings so they have it easy. It's nice to see how observant Hinata has become. The comedy is great as usual, I love how they are able to keep up with the consistent comedy over all these seasons. KaraCut said: I'm still impressed by the interactions in this series. All the characters seem to know each other so much and get really meaningful dialogues. It can go through stupid jokes or taunts, but it's very authentic. This, love the character interactions and everyone on the team feel like friends and people that can understand each other intuitively. They can't always know what the other guy is thinking but on some level they all 'get' it. Can't wait for more. |
 |
| lol, getting some very strong Kaze's Kakeru flashbacks from this episode. |

mosam00 said: The animation really has not been bad at all, what are people on about? In fact i think certain characters, especially Hinata look better than before. Completely agree I don’t know why so many people are complaining especially with this episode it had great animation and I actually prefer this artstyle. I guess people don’t understand that this season is slower than the ones before it. (Which is not a bad thing btw, it just explains the “animation problems”) |

FMmatron said: Someone is seriously exaggerating when he say's this series is unwatchable due to the animation. It isn't unwatchable but there's no denying that the show looks like crap. The new designs are inferior to the old ones and the animation (or should I call it non-animation?) is a joke. |
| A good episode. A real step up compared to some of the others. If people should be complaining about anything, it's those commercial eyecatches. Really missing those old serve ones. |
 |
| The fact that this many people complain about animation just goes to show how heavily casualized Haikyuu has become over the years. These people have actually no clue what they're talking about. |
 |
| Now that's what I'd like to see in a team. Having resolve this issues at the early stages through communication rather than letting it blow up on some important matches. |
 |
| I liked thevariant pacing in this episode. The first half had very quick pacing, but the second slowed down to emphasise the characterisation. |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| I feel like they baited us with a Kageyama-Nishinoya conflict last episode that kinda turned out to be nothing, but otherwise no complaints! I think there was a new piece of BGM this episode, and the series is at its best when the team is interacting. |
| Even though the character interactions were a bit testy at times, I feel like that will only help them going forward. Kageyama already seems to be making more of an effort to improve his communication, so that's a good start. |
| 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. |
| I'm still getting used to the new art style, but the animation is looking great! I thought the commotion between Kageyama and Nishinoya is going to be a big fuss which I was actually looking forward the entire week lol *coughs* The King's return is entertaining to watch, imo xD 4/5 |

KaraCut said: I'm still impressed by the interactions in this series. All the characters seem to know each other so much and get really meaningful dialogues. It can go through stupid jokes or taunts, but it's very authentic. I would really like most series to imitate Haikyuu!! on this aspect. Impressive animation when Kageyama yells against his teammates. I don't know who was the key animator, but definitely we have really talented staff. ^_^ The key animator is Sachiko Fukuda. |
 |
| am I the only one who thinks that ChiCo sounds weird in the ED? had I not checked the OP/ED singers before, I would have never been able to tell if that was her or not |
| Hot damn Kageyama, shouting at Tanaka and Nishinoya is one thing, but to Asahi is another thing. Hinata giving Kageyama the crown was super hype! He finally become the one true king! That aside, Karasuno is finally evolving. All it takes is a bit of fighting and communication. Fighting in a team isn't necessarily a bad things, some things need to be said no matter how harsh it is for the good of the team. Being able to criticize also means trust. Trust that your teammate can accept your criticism and improve their play. Thing is what Kageyama said wasn't necessarily wrong. He just need to said it better. |
nanimeanswhat said: By the way, the commercial break animations this season seriously SUCK. It's always the same animation of baby crow Hinata flying. At least make baby crow animations of other members too for a change, smh. I miss previous seasons' skits. Gotta agree on this. I loved the previous skits featuring the characters doing some serves but instead, these ones feel really uninspired. |
| Honestly, at this point the only problem I have with the animation (or art style, to be more exact) is that both Hinata and Kageyama stop making rapey faces :/ Anyways, it was another nice episode. More focused on character development rather than the match against Datekou but still, quite enjoyable in the end. |
| kageyama is being toxic but they are like "oh ok that's our kageyama" like wtf? seems like about everyone but me enjoyed the crowning scene.... and.. the animation..... good for them i guess, more enjoyment in life.. *sighs* |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| Good episode. I love how Kageyama manages to bring out good in his teammates. Just proves that he is a great setter. |
| I recall it not being that cringy in the manga. |
| I didn't expect Kageyama's development to suddenly go backwards but whatever. It's still fun seeing them argue. |
