Fantastic episode of Haikyuu!! Karasuno's failed attempts at new techniques are finally paying off in this match with Fukurodani. I really liked the whole cogs representing the Karasuno team finally being put into motion. Hinata's feint was really cool. Bokuto taught Hinata really well yet he reacted so surprised. Kageyama's reaction was even funnier, mentioning about getting a fever. xD

The scene with Kageyama and Hinata pulling off the new quick spike move was amazing; I love the spinning ball effect. Hinata and Kageyama's reactions were so great. It's cool to see Nishnoya's new libero toss is also helping out the team. I loved the sychronised attack on first tempo; that scene was badass. Tanaka had his time to shine too. :D

Bokuto became so tense and starting missing spikes and such. He ended up entering his emo mode which was hilarious. I like how the entire Fukurodani team, including the coach/manager and girls knew about it. xD Can't wait for the next episode. Let's go, Karasuno!

This anime is just too perfect! Everything is just so spot on! The chemistry between everyone; it's not just the Karasuno players but Akaashi and Bokuto and Kuroo and Kenma!

Akaashi's simulation of the consequences of his set was absolutely hilarious. XD Couldn't have done that part any better, especially with that little timer there too.

Not to mention, we got that hella amazing OST with the amazing piano part, except a longer version with more bass and drums. :D Pure brilliance.

I find Bokuto feeling tense and emo mode was kind of cheesy, especially when it was solely used as a comedies purposes. I was hoping that it motivated him even further, considering the amount of time Karasuno spent to finally deliver this epic match. The atmosphere wasn't really there to show how pressured he was when he saw the changes in Karasuno players. Rather, it was distracted by a bunch of needless comedies.

Aside for this bit of drawback, the rest was fucking amazing. Can't describe how much I love Kageyama and his silly interaction with Hinata after they finally did it. c:

There is actually a point for him being frustrated and going emo mode other than comedy reasons, which will be in full display next episode (though the point isn't directly with him). Won't really delve much further since I'll obviously be encroaching on spoiler territory.

Another cool episode Karasuno finally succeeding was amazing.
Hinata finally getting along with Kageyama was good, Its good they dont have to do some relationship bla bla but just get along easily.
I gotta say I really love Bokuto he was described pretty well someone you would even cheer if he is your foe.
Also love his HEY, HEY, HEY.

I see. It was quite distracting from the bit of mood changing with Bokuto ended up switching to an emo mode and clumsily missed his shots without showing much of a change in the composure of his and the atmosphere wasn't set up pretty well which was kind of off-putting to me when the match became this exciting. Thanks for answering. I will see how it goes then.


I agree with you.

Definitely the best episode of this season. Hinata surprise everyone with faint.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

So Karasuno's team plays their final match for the training camp. Unfortunately, we don't get to see how the match finishes at the end of this episode, so that'll be part of Episode 11.

But it appears that Karasuno is finally seeing results from all of the new ideas and techniques that they've been practicing during their training. By the end of this episode, things are looking positive, but will they be able to win this final match in the end?

As this episode progresses, a lot of the tension that's existed in recent episodes slowly starts receding. Hopefully this is a good sign for what's to come in future episodes. But that tension was needed, though, in order to help these characters progress and not stay stuck in a rut.

Although certain situations may be daughters of choices and consequences can already be anticipated, however, the narrative was not so predictable in the clash between the Karasuno and Bokuto team, on and off the battle has revived thanks to situations more or less favorable to him one or the other team. Drawings and animations overall quality as good at the end as it ends the game, the growth of Hinata and companions, was well built.

So, if I understood properly, Bokuto is basically Haikyuu!!'s Gon, right? The similarities between their stupid haircut characters traits as well as their influence on those around them are striking.

It wasn't hard to guess they would show off all the fruits of their labor this final match but it was still great to see. I love the cogs analogy. As each cog starts up you can see the machine start to take action.

Bokuto is super likable. He's a great influence on everyone around him. He has good advice. He loves the game. Well, unless he can't spike on his opponents then he gets hilariously emo. I love how memorable each team is in this anime. Sure, it's normally only two-four members who are memorable if it's not Karasuno we're talking about but it makes everyone feel like people who are playing a game they love and trying their hardest to win, not just opponents or obstacles for the protagonists to surpass.

This episode we saw the Bokuto feint that even got Bokuto himself fooled from Hinata. We had service ace's from Asahi. We had Noya's new receives. We had the synchronized spike. Tsukki was pushing himself to stop Bokuto. And we had a new quick work finally linking Hinata and Kageyama together once more. They're connected again. :D Everyone put in the time and are finally getting there. The cogs are moving!

I love how when Kageyama was in the zone and saw everyone playing exceptionally well he asked if it was because of the bbq.

Kenma made a good point. Hinata is always doing something new and the only person who could match that is Kageyama. Kenma couldn't keep up and the intensity that Hinata feels wouldn't work with like anyone else really. They're a match made in heaven. A perfect duo that happened to meet and get on the same team. Kenma getting tsundere and denying that he gets as excited watching Hinata as getting a new game was a highlight. It was adorable.

Speaking of adorable, Yachi is so great!!!! She's both awesome as a character and she's utterly adorable. Her dancing over the new quick working and her amazement at the synchronized team play were perfect.

This was a really rewarding episode. It was accurately named as this was the first episode this season that we got a huge pay off for all their hard work. Now the one thing I'm left wanting is Yamaguchi's float serve but perhaps they're going to save that for the real matches.
