RediceRyan said: The art was so amazingly detailed and consistent it was almost scary. How will this game last 8 episodes? 10 episodes actually.. first off, its a 5 set game second off, in the first and second season, a game lasted an average of 5-7 episodes and they were 3 set games |
 |
| That Tendo guy is basically Bokuto with red hair. |
| It's good to see this back again; the episode starts out pretty light with introductions (with even Akiteru here). Fun ED and although the OP isn't to my liking, it does look cool. |
 |
| WHOOOOOO I'm crying with excitement.. The hype is real haha Can't wait for next week! |
| Funny intense and well done imo. |
| Onei |
| Man, am I glad to see Haikyuu back! I'm digging this slow pacing so far. I loved how they showed the warmups and intro-ceremony; I think it's a perfect "calm before the storm". Amazing OP Amazing Art Cool new Shiratorizawa characters My boy Hinata I'm ready for 9 more weeks of awesome volleyball action! |

| I'm so hyped for this! A lot of great comedy and build up with an awesome op song. Strong first episode. |
 |
| Oh that OP and ED are so good. Stoked to have more Haikyuu to watch. |
| :) |
| My face hurts from all the smiling I did this ep, I am so happy to see more Haikyuu! |

| OP/ED doesn't have quite the right feel to them for me (doesn't get my adrenaline going, but the OP is super symbolic). SO HYPE. Man, I'm stupidly happy just looking at the characters running around and giving high fives wtf. and lol when Sugawara left Daichi and the girl alone. hoho. |
| Ahh it feels so great to see this show back for a 3rd season. Great OP & ED song. Awesome to see Karasuno & everyone again. Missed them so much & all their antics. LOL Tanaka & Nishinoya want all the girls. Kiyoko & Yachi are adorable as always. Nice of them to help out the team with research. Always love the Hinata & Kageyama Combo. Great to see Shiratorizawa & they have some interesting players. Ushijima is a powerhouse. That first spike. 5 sets though. This is going to require a lot of stamina. Really enjoyed the introduction of everyone heading onto the court. So excited for this match & looking forward to more. LETS GO KARASUNO!!!! |

| THE BOYS ARE BACK, BABYYYY. The fall 2016 season of anime is about to be LIT!!! It was so nice seeing Daichi again~ ^3^ I hope Shiratorizawa gets SCHOOLED. |

| I feel like I just sat for 23 minutes and watched barely anything happen. |
 |
| Really nice set-up for the game. The best aspects of the series look to be in tact, and once the game finally gets rolling I swear it'll be great to watch each week. (On a side note though holy shit that MAL score is high) |
| HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE I'm so happy my babies are back ç-ç Goshiki has a really different voice from what I imagined, I'm going to take a while to get used to it XD I'M SO NERVOUS WITH THIS MATCH EVEN TOUGH I'M A MANGA READER D: The opening is really beautiful (although the music is kinda weird to me) and I loveeeeeeeeeee the ending! (NEKOMA <3) <3 |
 |
| Was multitasking when watching this. The only moment I pay attention is when the female announcer (Akasaki Chinatsu?) start talking. |
| . |
| Great first episode, really liked the pacing i'm hyped for the rest. |
| Haikyuu!!! is back! My favourite sports anime!!!!! That build up in this episode!! Looking forward to the following episodes |
 |
| Was it just me or did Hinata sound really weird? |
| HOLYYYYY!!! WTF! I'M HYPERVENTILATING RIGHT NOW! THIS MATCH FEELS SO REAL! Things that I love: -Fantastic opening! -Animation is breath taking! -The build up on this match is nerve wrecking! Im super excited! -Things just never change in Karasuno! Tanaka & Noya's dynamic is always sooooo hilarious! -Tsukki's brother is such a cuttie -It's good to see the side of Shiratorizawa! Satori Tendo is so adorable! -Their faces when hinata spiked! -Like that yachi & kiyoko are getting enough attention/ screen time! -Michimiya's crush on daichi is so cute! - OH! and I LOVE! how the VPrincipal brought karasuno cheerers!!! - "Well Hello, left" IM SO HYPE TO SEE NISHINOYA'S PERFECT RECEIVE. T___T I have never been so hype by just watching episode 1!! but this was perfection! probably the best first episode I've seen so far! CAN"T WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODE! |

| Finally <3 I waited for this <3 Not fonfd of watching per week but I need to watch this XD I don't wanna be left behind on the hype <3 Not bad OP OST and ED OST<3 though I like Spyair for them to sing the songs XD Hahahha. Nice Ep1 Overall <3 Waahh <3 |
 - barely alive - |
| YES were back at it again! weird so the time slot did actually change? or we just got it earlier. OP And ED are good not my favorites but solid no complaints yet but i can already feel the pacing might slow down a lot and they might jam a lot of flashbacks to space out these 10eps i wonder if this might be the Rakuzan match of Haikyuu |
 |
| OMGWTFBBQ, HQ is BAAACK! Just a ton of buildup this episode, so I'm still waiting to burst from the hype! Opening is pretty solid and ending is catchy. Buckle y'all, this is gonna be helluva ride! |
 |
| So much hype!! Game just started but I was so into this episode from start to end. Love the characters, and Shiratorizawa's team seems interesting too. Awesome ED and OP. Animation also top notch along with sound~ |
| Finally! This season will be VERY promising! :D |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| Only 12 episodes this season. I'd be crsip and more intensifying that ever. Now they call properly focus on the match throughout which i like. The OP has power packed, nice symbolism there. I just wonder how will they manage 5 sets in 12 eisodes but i'll be great nevertheless. |
| WOW this episode felt short...I missed Haiky- sorry, I meant HYPEKYUU too much. 10/10 I don't think I'll be able to handle the tension of having to wait every week for the next episode, so unless my patience runs out, it seems that I'll be taking the "let's wait 'til it's over and binge-watch it in one day" route. |
| Begin the final, although this first episode is a pre-match!!!! |
| I really loved the OP and ED. It's too much. - That Daichi and Yui scene. - Two idiots living their fantasy. lol - This face of Tanaka. Cute right? Heh. - TSUKKI being salty. - Tendou! TENDOU! - People's reactions to the duo. - Ushiwaka's spike. - That last part with Nishinoya. Did I forgot something? Opps, who wouldn't miss this little smuggy fella? Ahhhhh. I just watched it. And still it lingers on. |

| Awesome Episode, cool OP. Last scene was pretty cool.. With Ushiwaka scoring the first hit off of the libero, and Nishinoya being like, 'Well hello, lefty.' :D Happy to see the karasuno cheering squad, esp. Akiteru, Izumi n Koji. This! Waiting for his antics and game plays! :D This match will bring out all that karasuno has to offer and even more. Waiting for the next ep now. :) |

|
| I love this fandom!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 |
 |
I know right? They're so sassy af. Hoho. Pretty much Tsukki's season. |
|
| I really enjoyed the first episode! The art has improved even though it was already great <3 I loved the ending and I really liked the opening. I love how they used mountains for Shiratorizawa *^* |
 |
RediceRyan said: The art was so amazingly detailed and consistent it was almost scary. How will this game last 8 episodes? Tsukishima's brother said that this game will be 5 sets since they're in the finals. That's how it'll go on for 8 episodes. |
 |
| Glad to see this back already. Everything about them is funny as heck! Looking forward to seeing how this finals plays out. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| I really liked it a lot! I almost cried when they were calling out the team members and their numbers ;___; |
 |
| Its finally back after 6 months of waiting!! Nice to see everyone fired up in the this match. And that Ushiwaka's spike in the end. |
 |
| what the hell!? this first episode is too awesome! I love it! This is going to be great! hahahaha |
 |
| YESSSS!!! SO GLAD IT IS FINALLY BACK!! EVERYTHING IS ALREADY PERFECT ABOUT THIS SHOW!! |
