| It's nice to be able to see all these familiar faces again. This anime is still as hilarious as ever, especially when Takeda paused for like 5 seconds before falling into a state of existential despair, and when Nishinoya, Tanaka, Hinata, and Kageyama got singled out by him. I really liked it when Hinata got serious and put on that killer face when he caught the ball in front of Ushijima. This anime got off to a great start and I'm looking forward to the next episode (and the rest of the season for that matter). Also, the OP and ED weren't half bad. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| AOTS is finally here and lives up to the expectations. It was a great first episode indeed and everything was beautifuly well done but it still made me sad the way they changed the order of events. I thought Yachi would make her debut right from the start but I guess not.. I'm so freaking out because of the ED,Galileo Galilei fits really good. |
| AAAH it was great! (same, I wonder why they put the meeting with Ushijima in the first episode...) but overall it was up to my expectations. |
| Good stuff |
| Hinata's serious face gives me chills! He's just too adorable. Great first episode, didn't disappoint at all! Can't wait to see what awesomeness happens next :D |
| Animation is epic as usual. Sasuga Production I.G. And HQs music is just too good. Just gotta love Tobio and Hinata's interactions XD Hinata's friggin cat eyes stare always give me chills!! And the jump and declaration followed by Ushikawa smiling in excitement was EPIC! That's how u do a first impression. Hinata and Kageyama nailed it ^^ The way the music cut after they heard final exams was so lol And From the OP it's clear that the whole 1sr cour will be about the training camp so the pacing should be awesome. |
 |
| YAY so happy this got a 2nd season. The OP song is great as well as the ED song. Gotta say this was an awesome episode. Love everyones determination especially Hinata and Kageyama. Love how Hinata catches the ball right in front of Wakatoshi. So awesome. Cannot wait to see more volleyball and the new characters. Lol gotta pass the final exams before they can go training in Tokyo. |

| YASSSSSSSSSSS 2ND SEASON SO READY FOR IT!! Can't wait for Bokuto and Akaashi <3 First episode didn't disappoint and picked up from where they left off. Ushiwaka was great and omg their faces when Take-chan glared at them hahaha Loving the OPED as well, can't wait for everything that's to come! |
| That was goddamn great, the ED is beautiful |
 |
| Shitty boy!!!! :D :D :D I just love how tanaka is pronouncing that. |
 |
| I have waited for this for a long time! I'm cuddled up under my blanket and constantly hitting refresh to download the episode. The start of this new season is awesome! The animation has improved much more this time too, and I love the vibrant colors! :D Kageyama and Hinata are back, and so are their stupid actions! There were some changes from the manga, but it was still awesome! Can't stop laughing about them two. I love these panels in the manga but this is awesome! Can't wait for their match!  |
| Fucking awesome first ep to the second season. Hinata and Kageyama really got Ushiwaka fired up. Dat jump thoo! 10/5 |
 |
| I almost cried while watching this episode.....It feels so good to have these guys be back apart of my anime watching life again In all honesty there isn't anything to say other than the fact that this entire episode was 10/10, absolutely amazing I can't wait for the practice matches as well as the inevitable rematch with my fucking boy Oikawa and that Japan dude |
| Oh yeah, Spyair opening once again, and Galileo Galilei for ED! The OP and ED sequences themselves were really good too. It was a nice first episode, I enjoyed the return of Haikyuu and its comedy and fun characters. Hinata's face though was quite scary. I love how he introduced himself as Hinata Shouyou, a concrete from Karasuno. Also the imagery was really pretty. |
| This was such a great introduction to the new season!!! I really missed watching all the characters moving around. I forgot how bloody fast Hinata is though, that speed is something unholy. |
 |
| IT WAS PERFECT FROM START TO FINISH. I have been waiting for this show. Def. top of the list for me this season. I love how they got right back in. The boys are the same and I just missed them so much! CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODE!!!!!!! I AM A BELIEVER THAT THIS SEASON WILL BE AMAZING |
| yisssss haikyuu! is back!!! i almost cried lol, my girl Yachi next week <3 |
| Words can't describe how happy I am |
Great to see the everyone back again.  I freaking love Hinata's rape face.  |

| I love it! I love this series so much! Leafeon-chan said: Words can't describe how happy I am +1 |
| I'M SO FUCKING PUMPED FOR THIS SEASON Takeda going full Shinji from NGE was brilliant, couldn't stop laughing. Time to freeze myself until the next episode!  |
 |
| Nice buildup here for the new season. I wonder if this episode is friendly to new watchers, as it doesn't really recap much of the first season. It's nice to have Ushijima make a proper appearance, after being referenced but not really shown many times. |
| Haikyuu hype!!! Dat Hinata stare was badass. Ending was hilarious XD |
 |
| OMG <333333 |
| I CAN FEEL THE HYPE |
 |
| Haikyuu greatness!!!! I love the transition into this season, everything was smooth and the animation is always BEAUTIFUL (I.G <3). Dat Ushijima, the Eiji Sawakita of Haikyuu. SPYAIR should do all of Haikyuu's OP(s) btw. |
 |
| THAT WAS AN AWESOME FIRST EPISODE!!! I've been craving haikyuu!! for so long. It's just so hilarious and fun to watch *sighs* I wish there were a new episode to watch every day XD Definitely looking forward to watching the training camp !!! Haha hopefully everyone will get through exams ok :P I'm SO READY FOR NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE !!! |
| Precious Hinata is back! Really liking the opening and ending so far, and Hinata's badass mode is best. Definitely a good start. |
| Really loving the ED. What a great episode, Hinata <3 |
 |
| Hype is real :3 Great buildup for the second season. Had a smile on my face for the whole episode :D |
 |
| So happy Haikyuu is back and better than ever. My boy Hinata got them hops at the end. 10/10 |
 |
| fucking YES |
 |
| That last part reminded me of Slam Dunk where they need to pass the exams before playing in games |
| KITA!!!!! THE VOLLEYBALL IDIOTS ARE FINALLY BACK! :D All I can say is that everyone sure is hyped. Lol. Episode 1 buildup was intense! Can't wait for episode 2! I've been resisting to read the manga since last year... since it's more fun that way I guess? I'm pretty sure when S2 ends I'll immediately binge-read the manga tho XD |
 |
| This way OUT OF THIS WORLD good. Seriously. Animation, OST, OP, ED. EVERYTHING. God I loved it. The built up was insane. Can't wait to see an actual match now. Kagayama and Hinata are an awesome duo. Loved their facial expressions during the dialogue with the big boss. Seems like a new girl will join the team next episode~ |
 |
| fackkkk besides Owarimonogatari my most hyped show is back this season in it's well deserved timeslot this episode hit all the right notes in getting you pumped up for all the things to come! aw yeah more Spyair too! |
 |
| I'm so proud of little Hinata! You tell that jerk! |
| Yay! I love so much this anime! I really want to see the games, they're so exciting. And Hinata was so cool and scary when the big guy said he had no talent, way to go, never give a fuck about what other people say c: |
| super happy :') |
| Haikyuu's back in my life!! Such good feelings right now. |
| Omg, there are more women now :OOO but anyways... their manager is as cute as ever. |
 |
| That was absolutely fucking brilliant.I actually had tears in my eyes when opening played, because all of the feels just came to me and i remembered how amazing it is to watch Haikyuu.I'm so damn glad this is back. I just...hope they will give us 2 cour season again, pretty please Production I.G. |
