i just found out riku vs kuu exists but it's listed as a prequel,can i just go ahead and watch it even if i already watched the 1st ep of to the top?

edit: i wanted to give it a 4/5 but accidentally chose 3 instead


Yes you can. It's a story about Nekoma that goes between seasons 3 and 4 but it's an extra story. There are no spoilers whatsoever so go ahead. Nekoma is my favourite team after Karasuno and... well this OVA made me love these guys even more.

The OP and ED are really fitting for the tone this first episode commands. It'll be interesting to see how Kageyama fits into the national scheme.

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?

I watched this before the OVA. So you can.

I don' t know if the OVA is important, but I watched it, because I like Haikyuu.

This episode was fun to see where everyone was going. Hinata got some guts to do that. But knowing that he was frustrated, I can't really blame him too hard on why he did what he did. Kageyama, Tsukishima, Hinata will grow greatly I hope. Hinata I hope you can grow without the need to rely on Kageyama's passes, and go beyond it even when he is not there.

The new art style is hideous, just look for comparison for Asahi design.
I really loved the previous seasons, but I doubt that I'll enjoy this one as well.
What happened? Is it a budget problem? I can't find any information about it.

lmao hinata wyd infiltrating a youth camp djfksfk such a crackhead XD

I'm excited for this new season because it looks like we'll be able to see how much Hinata and Kageyama have grown in terms of skill. Breaking them up and having them train individually will be interesting to see. I think this will make them better overall players, especially Hinata, because he needs to play well with anyone, regardless of their level of skill because not everyone is as skilled as Kageyama, obviously.

It's been hours since I watched the episode and I can't stop thinking about it...

I, too, want Hinata to prove his worth. BUT he is in the wrong this time. He needs to learn how to deal with frustration. He can't do whatever he wants and to hell with everything and everyone else. He wasn't chosen, he needs to accept it or compain, it's ok. Be angry, be frustrated, learn to cope with that. But don't go and sneak into someone else's team uninvited. That was disrespectful towards Kageyama and Tsukishima (who were chosen), and also towards the rest of the Karasuno team who were not chosen. If I had the power to choose a player other than Kageyama for the National team I'd have chosen Nishinoya, but did Noya go and join the National team or the Shiratorizawa camp uninvited? no, he stayed at Karasuno High, is he worth less for staying? NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT

But the little bastard knows he's good and thinks that that's enough to do as he pleases. No Hinata, despite all your worth you were not chosen, stay home, shut the f*ck up and deal with it. You have team mates ¿you know? It's unfair, yes, but life is unfair my friend.

Thank you for coming to my HQ-TED Talk


Yeah, Hinata definitely did it wrong. I forgot whether this episode or next episode, he says on the phone that training in the special team is more important than in Karasuno, I am like wtf? I kind of forget most of the things but all members, esp the senpai are great in their own way. What about train in the normal mode and prove to everyone, even without special training, you can still outdone other people?

I am sorry but I am gonna put this anime on-hold and who knows when will I decide to skip this portion and watch the rest.

At least ask other trainees seriously. I thought Haikyuu is close to reality in terms of sports but this part is kinda disappointing.

Hinata surely knows how to introduce himself. That's hilarious but also amazing, he isn't one to just quietly stand around.

Hinata getting himself in trouble straight away and ofcourse ... eventually they'll finally be able to see in some sort of way he is something without Kageyama and let him play.

Not a bad start though, lots of funny moments and back to the same old we're used to ^^

Hooray for Kageyama and Tsukishima being recognized and being invited to separate training camps that cater to the best of the bests. I was really thinking that Nishinoya also deserves the invitation but the "maturity" card was convincing enough why he didn't get one. HAHA. He's too adorable and boisterous.

In this episode, a different side of Tsukishima finally unleashes when he scolded Hinata for showing up uninvited in his training camp. Poor little guy, but how cool is that haha. If only I have that confidence.

From here, I can sense that the Shiratorizawa coach would give Hinata a hard time and push to the limit, so Hinata would break out of his shell. But hopefully, not end the ties with his powerful connection and teamwork with Kageyama.

P. S. I kind of have a hard time adjusting to the new drawing style. It was a little bit different from Haikyuu!! Seasons 1-3. This can be seen clearly in the characters' noses especially Kageyama and Hinata. :)

What a great and fun start to the next season! Apparently Hinata was frustrated that he wasn't invited to any training camps and as the Shiratorizawa's coach said that Hinata is worth nothing without Kageyama. And Takeda-sensei sure is scary lol and Kageyama nearly lost on the train station plus Ukai's new VA surely suits him.

.........i prefer the old art style....................the difference in kageyama's features is the most striking & it's bothering me a lot lol but ok that's my only gripe.... ................i know they were being more faithful to their manga character designs but we're allowed to have a preference. the previous art style was very fitting of the anime & looked more aggressive/their features stood out more

anyway i LOL @ tsukki just losing it when hinata showed up that was hilarious!!

also can't wait for more atsumu miya alr c:

Hinata, you brat! I did feel bad for him to not be included in a special training team (Nishinoya also deserved), but it was a reckless move to just infiltrate anyway... Since they accepted him, Hinata better learn, improve, and not disappoint.

I can't believe most fans were fine with his actions just because he's the mc. To me it was obnoxious and childish which is why he's not my beloved mc. in fact he's one of my least favourite sports mcs because of how he is as a character

So natural talent and genetics get to go to camp yet Hinata doesn't? I can totally understand why he's so frustrated since he's the only starting first to get ignored. I'm surprised since everyone is paying attention to him from his opponents. Also f- Kageyama, feeling good from Hinata's misery is so low.

I hope old man has a change of heart or at least some older Shiratorizawa student gets him on board. The other coach sure wants him tho

I'm not too much of a fan of this art style change. Looks really weird in a way.

Oh well...Hinata. I mean, yeah, I feel bad for him but attending a camp you weren't invited to is just wrong. Hopefully he learns his lesson and can improve.

Kageyama is now attending an All-Japan Camp. Can't wait to see the other amazing players there!
