Haikyuu was TT in my country, I was happy... until I saw the memes...

I've already watched the episode and it felt weird. At the beginning the animation started to drop and got really weird, it scared me a lot. But then, it became normal and even incredible at some point, so I don't fcking understand what happened. I mean, the animation from Kageyama's serve was amazing, but the Miya's faces... god...

I just wanted to see a good animation for this pannel ):

Also Kageyama serve is really like Oikawa coool

Downright terrible. 2/5 for some of the worst animation in my recent memory and killing off all the hype this episode had had the potential for. 2/5. Ugh.

Hope animation atleast is fixed for blu ray release.

It's not the usual detail saturation, they'd basically have to redo the entire episode to get rid of all the still and absolutely hideous animation in most parts. I'm totally revisitting this episode when the BDs are out just to see how much they managed to fix.

Looked more like Queen Bee to me.
For real though, it's a prime example of "outsourcing gone wrong".

While some parts were bad, it wasn't as bad as the last outsourced one imo. Keep in mind they are working in the middle of a pandemic which brings in difficulties around not only working from home, but also financial difficulties as well. I'd be lying if I wasn't a little disappointed, but I'm more inclined to cut them some slack.

I always think it's hilarious that their are fans who really feel the need to defend EVERYTHING about their favorite anime rather than pointing out and accepting it's faults. Haikyuu! is amongst my top 3 favorite series of all time, that doesn't mean that these outsourced episodes look any better or are less jarring and distracting on the eyes. It takes away from the excitement and intensity of the match, and has already happened twice. (Kageyama's serves look clean at least). Here's to hoping rest of the season is completed with their original studio.

The outsourcing was a bit noticeable but the animation shined at the most important parts, which was great to see.

I don't usually complain about animation but this was all over the place! It was just too distracting to even enjoy the episode :/
Some parts looked really good and others totally off..it's like two different teams worked on this.

In this second set, Karasuno is losing by a big difference but there is still hope.
Nishinoya's passion and excitement is always incredible.
In fact, Karasuno has to find a way to deal with number 10 of Inarazaki, the handling of his defense is very good.

ther art was shit most of the time but it got its moments, guess i'll forgive Production I.G. this time just cuz of those few frames that were NOT totally shit like:






i liked the camera angles and movements the most this episodes! haikyuu doesn't use those a lot, but they were great.

the animation had its ups and downs, average i guess :/
however, although the art was shit this ep was good and the match was super great! i'm hyped for the captain's (?) appearance, he seems cool :)

match better be over by next episode.

really good, highly enjoyed seeing suga for just a moment :)

the ending though. When their captn is abt to come in my stomach tumbled in a really negative way and I realized that he reminds me of Akashi Seijurou (from knb), and that is NOT a good sign for karasuno. Can't wait to see his badass moves. Like I just said, he reminds me of akashi, so it's most likely gonna be something like "controlling" the other team in some way

It feels weird seeing Nishinoya struggling this much when he's usually the most consistent player in the team.

I doubt they'll get this set but at least it feels like they are putting pressure on their opponents.

In the beginning, the animation was so weird that I had to pause it and take a break but it seemed to get better in the second half. I wish the animators took their time to make another episode like the Tanaka episode. That one was amazing!
Loved Kageyama's serve he's a beast love him!

This season is the absolute worst, and that's coming from a buy that loves haikyuu to the bone. The exposition is almost unbearable (the couple that noone cares about and the random fans explaining every little thing like we are babies). Like, even if you don't know anything about voleyball, it is the 5th season (or second part of 4th, whatever you wanna call it), plus movie recaps and ovas, if you dont know the volleyabll rules by now, you are a retard. Also, please for the love of whatever you believe in, I really hope they will stop outsourcing episodes, we have waited 3-4 years for this season, a couple more weeks are not gonna annoy anyone all that much. If this continues I think this season will tarnish the good name of haikyuu and its manga/animation studio and gonna be a failure close to that of GoT.

A very interesting episode. But what is wrong with those animation? Didn't look like haikyuu's standard.
Will Karasuno win this match and go forward in nationals? Or will the weird haired character defeats them....
Interesting and engaging episode. 4/5.

We are finally back to Karasuno's match, but we suddenly skipped half of the 2nd set??! Wha?! The animation and art quality also took a step back, but at least this episode flowed a lot better than the previous ones.

Totally agree with Elyasis (and many of you). What is happening with this season is a f*cking disgrace. How in the world can Production IG do this with probably its more important anime?

And... how can this be rated with 8.55? What a joke.

The artwork and animation were trainwreck. They reached the rock bottom with this episode. Honestly at one point I failed to concentrate or enjoy watching it because of how terrible the artwork, and how clunky the animation were.

Unfortunately this has been an underwhelming season considering Haikyuu's known quality.

Good episode overall. The animation was a bit off same as Ep. 2. The no. 4 is arriving for the opposite team. This can't be good for Karasuno.

I'm really missing the old art style. Maybe if we get a recap movie they revert back to the old one to be consistent with the rest?

it's back to karasuno's match in this episode. atsumu seem to be targetting nishinoya w/ his serves — i love the moment when just as tanaka is about to comfort nishinoya, nishinoya starts doing penalty finger push ups and he seems to be as focused as ever lol.

really nice imagery with tsukki 'climbing up a ladder' as he jumps up to block. we also see a focus on suna, who seems to be a pretty interesting character but he's still super annoying :')

kageyama's serves towards the end were amazing! i'm super excited to see who the guy w/ the black and white hair is. i don't think we've seen him before this episode. he's also the captain but he hasn't been playing in this match?

i honestly didn't notice too but i would say i don't pay as much attention to the animation as the average anime watcher. i did ofc notice the super bad animation in ep 2 (who didn't?) which def affected my enjoyment of the ep. but w this episode, i thought it was decent esp kageyama's serve, which was pretty good!

edit: okay, i've rewatched some scenes and i now totally get where everyone is coming from.. i initially just didn't notice at all lol.

Man this season is such a massive disappointment in terms of production. How to drop the ball.. off to read the manga I guess.

And it’s not just the art or animation thats way below the usual standard, the directing is subpar most of the time and pacing is just off compared to previous seasons. I legit do not feel any excitement watching this match and Haikyuu was probably my favorite sports anime from season 1-3. Season 4 part 1 was fine but a bit boring, but I feel insulted watching part 2.

It really wasn't that noticeable. You guys are getting too fixated on it. The important bits, i.e. Kageyama's serves, were still animated well.
