Another great episode of Haikyuu!! I really like the pacing and feel of this arc, it's very relaxing yet motivating for the characters. Hinata went to Coach Ukai's grandfather's place where he taught him the various tempos and how to control his movements in the air. The various kids and teenagers there helping Hinata out were pretty friendly and nice too. Kageyama meeting Oikawa was quite something too, he gave some words that really made him change his perspective on the situation.

Yachi was worried about Hinata and it was nice to see her smile after Hinata told her that he's fine. I can't wait till everyone works together in a real match again after practicing so hard individually.

Yachi x Hinata seems to be the most popular straight ship, based on the images I've seen. In fact, my avatar is actually from one of those pictures.

Oikawa & his nephew are too cute.
Kagayama running after Oikawa when he was trying to ask him for advice - hilarious.
Yaachan's smile was so adorable when she asked Hinata how him and Kageyama were doing.
Jii-san is badass and funny.
So happy to see them practicing and improving their skills.

I really loved this episode! I think it's finally starting to get to the good stuff. After last episode this one is like a breath of fresh air and it's good to see everyone working to improve.

I loved the scene with uncle Oikawa and Kageyama. Poor Kageyama had to beg for advice and Oikawa just had to take advantage of the situation to get a picture xD I thought it was cute how Oikawa take so many photo's of his nephew on his phone, a sunset shot, and a selfie.

Also it was really sweet how concerned Yachi was about Hinata and how Hinata is holding up strongly. Kageyama is also going to try his best too so they can work together better than ever before.

Next episode preview seems to start Tsukki's story and bring in Bokuto and Kuroo's antics. I have been waiting for this. Really enjoyed this episode and looking forward to whats to come.

I missed Oikawa, I used to dislike him a little but not I relish in everything he does. It's funny how the characters I was kinda iffy about turned out to be my favourites.
speaking of that, I'm so ready for the next episode. it's Tsukki related, and during the summer training camp.

Another great episode this week! The training parts done without any dialogue were simply beautiful.

Kageyama and Hinata both handled the adversity well (though Ukai was very important for creating the bridge to make both of their perspectives from last week work -- Oikawa too xD).

And back to Tokyo we go! This week long arc will be great! :D

Not bad, we get Hinata's remainder of what he's playing for. Also, I feel like Tobio is having some slight problems with himself lately. The pacing felt a bit slow but I'm liking the way that everyone is trying to move forward. Hinata still training as well too~

Lol, nice comedy.


Oh yeah, I'm also glad to see Hitoka doing better as the manager, at least she finds it fun. Hoping to see some exciting match soon.


The nephew looks like a mini Tanaka, lol.

Another great episode. This series is perfection, no doubt about that. Hinata and Kageyama are going to become badasses! Asahi and Noya are practicing hard, too (more like everyone is)

Hope there's more Yachi next episode.

Wow man. This episode felt like 5mins. Was I the only one?

So much development for Kageyama and Hinata. There are Asahi, Nishinoya and the whole team too - They all do their best to evolve. I'm extremely happy, I want to cry.

Yachi's smile because of Hinata <3
Continue to make her smile, and-and treasure her...ok Shrimpy!?

Tsukki getting spotlight next week? Feels like he's gonna get a big development; and get serious about volleyball.
Hmmm. Can sense Yamaguchi will get one too?

I can't wait for more awesomeness of Haikyuu ~~

Wow! The boys are all improving in their own way at their own pace!

Absolutely adored Oikawa in this episode. His antics and interactions with his nephew and Kageyama were gold. I love how he doesn't get the satisfaction of getting the great photo that he envisioned. Haha.

I see neither Hinata and Kageyama are as stubborn as they used to be. I hope to see some improvement in the upcoming games with both Ukai coach's teachings! Elder coach Ukai is such an amazing grandpa. I wonder if Keishin will take after him one day. XD

Finally Oikawa. His expressions were great.
Training and stuff.
And it's coming. Camp and Tsukki development.
Maan I wanna see more Nishinoya tho. Oh well.

Sometimes the use of flashy (sliding? Idk) backgrounds and characters constantly popping up on the screen in the comedy scenes annoys me. But since it is comedy it can't be helped I guess.

There's Shimizu x Noya, which was around for long before Yachi ever showed up. There's also a Shimizu x Sugawara for some reason.

You can easily see the boys are readying themselves for the Nationals. Why this anime is so good?

I know the chances are slim but can I have both Yachina and Yuidai pretty please?

as far as i know you're not allowed to spin the ball on the toss....didn't like that he went with that.

I don't think there are any rules against giving spin to the ball during setting. Refrees call double contact sometimes if they notice that the ball spins too much because it might indicate that the setter hit it with both hands but not at the same time.

A lot of the episode focuses on Hinata trying to better himself, and we see Coach Ukai take him to see his grandfather, the former coach for Karasuno. We'd heard so much about the older Coach Ukai in the first season, that it was awesome to finally get to see him in action here. But he's definitely been very helpful for Hinata, and I think the training Hinata undergoes with him will help out in the long run.

Kageyama is looking for answers, and he runs into Oikawa. There was a great scene here that included Oikawa's nephew, but Oikawa seems to have given Kageyama something to think about with what he says.

Near the end of the episode, we see some of the other members of the team practicing and trying to come up with ways to overcome their shortcomings as well. And at the end of the episode, it's being set up for the team to participate in more practice games against their competitors.

This episode basically focused on setting up the groundwork to get the characters ready for their next practice games, but it was interesting to watch. What we see happen here is very important, and it's going to be interesting to see how their practicing in this episode may bear fruit in the upcoming practice games.

God, I love Oikawa. I was really looking forward to his and Takeru's scenes, and the anime delivered! I lost count of the amount of screenshots I took, lmao. I really liked that they added a couple scenes, like the inside of Oikawa's picture folder. He had a lot of pictures of Takeru, which made me very happy!! What a proud uncle.


Next episode is the episode that will shatter (and probably glue together as well!) all of you Tsukki fans' hearts. + the long awaited ohohoho

It is considered "Holding the ball" if i'm not wrong. If i remember correctly the ball can't sping more than it's circunference, thuogh i'm not exactly sure.

But i'm 100% sure that what Kageyama is doing is not allowed.
