| I hope this series won't get spammed by bots like Chihayafuru did. Anyway, a terrific start. The touch of Haikyuu by Production I.G. is still there. It's going to be a slow progress from the story but I will enjoy every bit of it. |
 |
| I need to go back and see the other season's art again because i'm not noticing any art style changes here. If anyone has any comparison pics that'd be good. Anyways, looking forward to this. Haikyuu is always a joy to watch. Not too into the OP/ED or eye-catch for this season, but i'm sure they'll grow on me. |
| It's back. I mean, it was a pretty standard opening episode. I'm trying to just get myself back into this world of Japan volleyball. |

Have to say i prefer the old style but it really does look great either way. |
OpenUp said: Could someone explain me something, dpn't want to poast thread for it. Why only Karasuno advanced to Spring tournament, when i watched Land vs Sky OVA, 3 teams advanced to Spring tournament but it wasn't the case with Season 2? Maybe i forgot something or its becouse Tokyo prefecture has bigger pop so 3 teams advance? So I thinks it’s the last point you mentioned. Tokyo is bigger so it gets 2 reps, & then the 3rd rep (Nekoma) is a venue sponsor rep. |
| Finally had the chance to breath and watch this master piece I’m so excited for This new season both Ed and op were really great as always. Hinata ftw |
| I couldn't stop smiling the whole episode, my haikyuu is back <3 |
| Pretty amazing episode 9/10 I'm currently 200 cm tall and just imagining someone Hintata's height jumping just as high as me is scary lmaooo |
| Not much to say, it was a great first episode. Welcome back, Haikyuu. YosepRA said: It'll be harder to because they already implemented an anti-bot system and they'd need to make even more bot accounts to even lower the score here since HQ is much more popular than Chihayafuru.I hope this series won't get spammed by bots like Chihayafuru did. |
Lawliet3rd said: Lylaaz said: I have read this arc (Hinata ballboy) in manga 3 times. This season is going to be amazing. I really love the underdog theme and this will just be the perfect thing. how many episodes do you think it'll be before the spring tournament starts? Sorry, i don't know. It's been for a while since i last read manga. My gut feeling tells me that if this is a 24 episode series, it might start in the second half. Or if this is really 13 episodes then maybe the eps 11-13 will cover the beginning of it. I might be wrong though. But i am way more looking forward to the preparation episodes! Character growth and struggles are more my thing. |

| Glad to have this show back, but whats with the bots boosting its score? |

sunsetocean said: I just started watching it now! Is it just me or does Hinata's voice sound kinda different? ๐ค his voice sounds deeper/not as girly as before I commented on this as well, I think maybe last season ๐ค I went back to watch the first episode of Haikyuu!!, and I think his voice was definitely a bit higher before. I remember really not liking Murase's voice as Hinata in S1, but it hasn't bothered me in the sequels. Might partially be due to how Hinata was one of Murase's first main role, and he sounded less polished than he sounds now. He wasn't bad before, but there's a clear difference in his tone, similar to if you listen to Kaji Yuuki and one of his first main roles such as Mikoto in Over Drive, or OnoKen in Ghost Hound (just some examples from the top of my head). Polly_S said: I never said it was fair for Hinata. I coach Washijou is a piece of shit discriminating Hinata for his height and overlooking his talent. But this is a coach that always gets his way, that has only one kind of team in his mind and Hinata doesn't fit in that. I hope that Hinata proves him wrong and that the coach becomes more openminded in the future. But that doesn't make Hinata's actions valid. I know what he feels too, I know what it is to be short (shorter than him) and always told mean things for that. I know what it feels like not to be chosen or being the last to be called (and feeling like a burden because of that), But this is a team sports, and team sports don't work like that. You can call the coach out and try to change his mind just not the way Hinata does. Think of football (soccer) for example, the world cup. The coach choses players from different teams and there's this particular player who has been an ace the whole season... and then he's not chosen to join the national team. He feels angry and frustrated and, of course, he feels that he's worthy and that the reasons for not being called are personal. Now imagine many players in the same situation as that one... and all of them turning up at the training center all because they have to be in the team. It would be chaos, wouldn't it? I think and hope that Hinata will succeed, he's everything you all said and more. He's confident, and a fighter, and he knows that he is at disadvantage and that he has a lot of minds to change and a long way to go. But this way of dealing with things is very immature and childish. Also bear in mind that he's been playing properly for about a year or so. It's been three years for us, but not for our boys. I was also going to mention this. You explained it very well, the problem I have with Hinata crashing the practice he wasn't invited to. I think everyone would agree that Hinata not even being considered due to his height is unfair. However, I share the same sentiment that what Hinata did is ultimately disrespectful. Not just to his teammates and coaches, but to any other first years in the prefecture who are just as skilled and/or talented, those who work just as hard, love volleyball just as much, yet weren't chosen. I'm glad at least he was fine with being a ball boy. |

| that was so awesome the start was good...and the hype is on |
 |
| this season gon be good |
| I'm so exited! After 3 years we have finaly got 4th season! It got great start, so proud of Tobio for getting his invitation! Show them what you got! And gosh, I knew Hinata would do something like that. Well, I expected him to go after Kageyama but still I was pretty close. But honestly, I cringed a little on that scene. Thought, I want him to show that old man that height isn't everything and Hinata isn't worthless without Kageyama. |

| my comfort show is back |
soibra said: i'm glad it's back,i forgot how annoying hinata is lol i just found out riku vs kuu exists but it's listed as a prequel,can i just go ahead and watch it even if i already watched the 1st ep of to the top? edit: i wanted to give it a 4/5 but accidentally chose 3 instead Yes you can. It's a story about Nekoma that goes between seasons 3 and 4 but it's an extra story. There are no spoilers whatsoever so go ahead. Nekoma is my favourite team after Karasuno and... well this OVA made me love these guys even more. |
| What's up with this overstated rating? This is a joke. |
| it's finally back, feels like forever! nice OP and ED. |
 |
| The OP and ED are really fitting for the tone this first episode commands. It'll be interesting to see how Kageyama fits into the national scheme. |

So you can. I don' t know if the OVA is important, but I watched it, because I like Haikyuu. |

| Woo 1st episode and im already pump! Good thing i didn't read the manga, expecting alot of better things to come... |
 Made by k3ti |
| bird boy gonna fly highest of all skrrr |
| The hype is real! So excited to see my boys again! By the way, Shiratorizawa coach sure is butthurt when it comes to short guys with potential. |
| It’s a good first episode. Hinata is always the same xD |
 |
| This episode was fun to see where everyone was going. Hinata got some guts to do that. But knowing that he was frustrated, I can't really blame him too hard on why he did what he did. Kageyama, Tsukishima, Hinata will grow greatly I hope. Hinata I hope you can grow without the need to rely on Kageyama's passes, and go beyond it even when he is not there. |
| good, 1 ep and now the anime has 8.98 rating |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| Mwahahahhahah!!! I wait for Hinata's name to be called but nothing. Poor Hinata but he sneak in hahahahha Congratulations Takeyama and Tsukishima โค I miss Haikyu so muchhhhhh!! Even if I just finished it last year, I still miss it huhuhu I smile the whole time watching this first episode. 5/5 |

adi_1209 said: they're being faithful to manga art style.The new art style is hideous, just look for comparison for Asahi design. I really loved the previous seasons, but I doubt that I'll enjoy this one as well. What happened? Is it a budget problem? I can't find any information about it. |
| Hinata surely knows how to introduce himself. That's hilarious but also amazing, he isn't one to just quietly stand around. Issa_Chan said: Did anybody notice they change coach Ukai's voice!? It really bothered me....why did they do that...T^T Sadly, they had no choice because the previous voice actor died. |
| Oof, I'm happy that adaption is on the same level as manga.I'm feeling excited again. |
| I hate everyone equally |
Issa_Chan said: Did anybody notice they change coach Ukai's voice!? It really bothered me....why did they do that...T^T And from my point of view, Hinata looks weird...hakahaks Beside that, I love the show, nice first episode, and have high hopes for this new season!!๐๐ผโจ They got new VA for Ukai in Shiratorizawa vs Karasuno season already.Unfortunately, the guy voicing him before died [*] |
| I hate everyone equally |
| it seems like such a Hinata thing to be able to weasel his way into the camp. |
    - โผ - ๐ hyped for 2022 lockdown ๐ ๐ all good things come in threes ๐ - - โฝ - - |
| Hinata couldn't resist. |
 |
| Hinata is such an asshole for pulling a stunt like this. They should've definitely thrown him out. |
| Back to Haikyuu! Hinata getting himself in trouble straight away and ofcourse ... eventually they'll finally be able to see in some sort of way he is something without Kageyama and let him play. Not a bad start though, lots of funny moments and back to the same old we're used to ^^ |
