| Who else had tears in their eyes towards the end? God damn it this was such a strong episods |
 |
| So far so good. Never thought a volley-ball anime would get that much attention from me... Hinata and Kageyama seem to slowly make a great pair. Though, I'm pretty much sure that his old ''King habits'' will often come back, especially during a real match. |

| I really like this pair. They complement each other really well. |
| Dammit Tsukki, you magnificent bastard!! I hate myself for loving you so much, you jackass!!! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Kageyama & Hinata are lethal. |
| Starting to really like the series. I guess the first episode was the only episode with the excessive drama. |
 |
| Hinata and Kageyama were finally able to work together, and with an amazing quick. FIGHTO!! :) |
| Fist pump~! That was so awesome. |

| Man I am so done waiting for Hatsuyuki and its dam subs. Another fantastic episode! Missed this so much!!! Time to marathon this baby! |
| Hinata and Kageyama are getting better :D |
 |
| Sho and Daichi remind me of Naruto and Yamato. |
| Good episode... Really enjoying the interactions between Kageyama and Hinata ^__^ The Tsukki guy still annoys me though. Like why join a team if you're just gonna instigate -_- |

| That was some great improvement. Those quick balls... |
facade63 said: Cringe episode the amount of pep talking themselves up was way over the top. +1 I don't mind the talking but the way the characters react at certain scenes are just so cringe-worthy, especially the contrast of somewhat darkish Kageyama and overly cheerful and optimistic Hinata. It's like what Tsookie (lmao @ that translation) said, "It's irritating". It's like this is a Kageyama / Hinata character arc, and it's done in such a cheesy way, Hinata's "Kageyama, I am here, I am here receiving your toss, here where nobody else wanted to be, look at me, don't you worry, I will always be here to receive your pass" is just corny, and that's supposed to serve as Kageyama's development? Eh. So far it's still extremely disappointing. |

| Awesome episode. The OST is really great! |
| Although I am super impressed with how they worked together.. the endless talking mid-game really annoyed me xD |
  What a great episode :) |

| So much cringe in this episode. This really came off a little too cheesey at some points but it was still a somewhat enjoyable to watch. Hinata is pretty brave closing his eyes like that. |
 |
| tanaka is my fave so far |
| Episode nice and smooth, but only when the talk did not become too long. Narratively I liked it very much, but the credit goes mainly to the characters, not the events recounted. Characters are always the most pleasant and characterized, drawings and animations very good. The real drawback of this episode is often too fragmented to have the volleyball game, they should choose the best moments to talk about the characters. |
 |
| the ost of this series is quite good. |

| Oh shit OP! Awesome episode! |
 |
| Good episode , but i wanted that animation from the first episode . |
| I'm glad Hinata and Kageyama are getting along now. I swear, the OST is getting better and better every episode. I love it. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| It was inevitable to backward on the amazing Hinata and Kageyama's moves... |
We're just the boys and girls that think they always know... |
| Kageyama doin all the real work, just sayin. This ep really humanized him! |
| This was a great episode |
| Another great anime duo! |

| L had a poster of Norman in his room |
| That first spike got me all hyped up, I didn't want haikyuu to be this amazing And that's coming from someone who hates volleyball |
 |
| It's really as if Daichi planned everything two weeks in advance, like he literally knows exactly what everyone will say, and stops other trying to interrupt. It's hilarious. |

| This episode was very exciting. Seeing that Hinata being able to receive the set and spiking was truly amazing! |

| The characters seem very strong right off the bat, hope they continue to be this well done. 5/5 |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| I love the teamwork between Hinata and Kageyama! |
| Lmao their signaling :D - "Alright he's tossing it that way" LOL This show is so good ! |
 |
| This is so enjoyable, I totally understand the hype. No one can dislike Hinata, not even anyone in the anime's universe except for Tsukki but I'm sure he'll turn around. And Kageyama is absolutely adorable, hiding his dweebiness with his tough exterior but fighting for all the same things Hinata is. They have the same goals, they just go about them in different ways which is what makes them so close, yet bounce back so hard. Tanaka proves again he's amazing. Tsukki makes fun of the three and he comes back acting all playful and turning around absolutely irate to throw some smack talk back in their face. "That Tsukki! I'm going to crush him!", of course Hinata joined in too. The way he gets mad whenever someone talks trash to his friends puts a smile on my face every time. I hope he gets more developed as the series goes on, making him more so an actual main character than an enjoyable comic relief / best friend supporting character. So Kageyama got the king title from his own teammates and it isn't something good. It was because he was so egocentric and so arrogant that they left his side willingly, allowing them to lose and crush his dream of staying on the court. I had predicted it but that's sad. I was excited when Hinata fought back saying "It was junior high. He tosses to me now, there's no problem. It makes no difference to me!" with the music queuing in. What a lovable little guy. And that speech moved Kageyama enough to see how similar the two were when he went for the spike and in another way told him "I am here, and I'm here to stay". Kageyama is finally being a team player. He's enhancing his teammates skills, not overpowering them and hoping that they'll be good enough to follow along. :) So much character develop already, at least for Kageyama. Even if they're simple characters it's nice. Hinata's speech about knowing he's not cut out for spiking yet deciding he's going to fight against his own body to do it because he loves it was nice. Very shounen hero, but nice, |
| nice spokkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee |

| Even tho I've been pretty much hooked since the first episode, I was not expecting to enjoy this show this much. The visuals are top-notch, and really consistent, always nice bits of animation here and there. What really made me watch the show are the OSTs, since MHA I've listened to a lot of Yuki Hayashi's compositions, especially his work for Haikyuu and even tho I'm not really into sports I couldn't wait to see how it was used in the actual show, and I'm totally in love, very sync with the action. Also I want to say I wasn't expecting the characters to be so great, Kageyama's growth is really well done. And I think it's a nice move from the author to put the main rivalry in the spotlight in the very beginning of the story, that way characters can have a nice developement and become likable very quickly. |
| ok like wow....the combo is so likable all of a sudden |

Resident said: they're perfect as a duo! One doesn't have anyone to pass to, one doesn't receive any pass!
