| Wonderful first episode. |
| Ehh. This is super dramatic for no good reason, which is annoying. Well keep watching because I like the art and animation and the ability of the main character is interesting. I know why this is a fujoshi series now... 3.5/10 |

|
| This was actually pretty decent, but it's not really something I like personally I guess. I did however like Kuroko, I guess the comedy there and the general style of the show just fits me better. ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
tsudecimo said: I know why this is a fujoshi series now... This is as fujoshi-bait-ish as Bakuman tbh, which isn't a lot. |
| I like this c: |
 |
| Is it just me or does Kageyama look like Free!'s Nanase Haruka? LOVED it! I was apprehensive about it since sports anime aren't my thing but after hearing so much about it from Tumblr I just had to. I'm happy I did =') |
| Very nice animation, art-style, and vibe in general. Excited to see how this series turns out :D |

| Wow, love the feeling of this show. I can't believe I didn't start watching it when it started airing. Atleast I got a lot of episodes to watch now xD |
 |
| Christ this was dry. Does it get better? |
Forever-a-mole said: Ooohhh this looks promising. (Sho-chan is so cute omfg) |
 |
| A really strong first impression, a mix of funny and gripping. That twist at the end though, what a slap in the face. I'm willing to bet they'll make a better combination rather than rivals. |
 |
| I was expecting different voices. Still, it was good for a first episode. |
| Extremely typical set up, the cliche "Hinata is made to spike for Kageyama", their interaction is.. well.. meh, Kageyama had no reason to talk up to Hinata before, and the whole "If you want to beat me, then get stronger" line.. well, it's not bad so far, not particularly good yet though. I hope the whole series is much better than this, given the hype. #41 tsudecimo said: Agree to an extent, butEhh.

Only 2 main characters are shown so far,I know why this is a fujoshi series now... tsudecimo said: Harsh, below average score? Seriously? Not even Pupa's first episode deserves this rating. But well, it's your opinion, so yea. not sure if you have any grudge against this series3.5/10 Aozure said: I agree, don't know why but she looks real good.that girl in the ED is gorgeous! |

 |
| I'm so hyped for this anime, omg. Full of excitement, and the protaginst is awesome :D |

 |
| it's better than I thought hahah |
| Hinata is such a friendly team leader compared to the King of the Court looking forward to next episode I like his never give up attitude too :P |
  |
| PUMPED |
 |
| Haven't watched a new sports anime in a while, this one seems pretty interesting. |
 |
| Wow this was a cringey first episode! Shouyo is pretty annoying so far. Other guy doesn't seem too much better. Although I at least liked the idea of how they ended up meeting in Highschool. Sort of looking forward to where this will go. |
 |
| Great start! I really loved that little plot twist where now with Hinata & Kageyama having to be teammates now and learn to work together, this is gonna be awesome. :D |
| I already very much like this series. Kageyama is a very strange character. Besides the fact that he looks like grumpy cat half the time, he gets angry for the strangest reasons. You would think a cool character like "the King of the Court" could maintain composure. No wonder he lost nationals and ended up at the same HS as Sho-chan. |
~my list
| Yeah this was pretty cool. Lesson learned: if you yourself are good at a sport but your friends/teammates suck, screw them and join a team that has a chance at winning :D |

|
| I really did not like Kuroko no Basket but this was soo much better first episode, very promising! |
| Right first time and thanks to Studio IG, for working really well. Drawings and animations of big-time, very beautiful scenery and soundtrack orecciabile. Moving on to the characters I like the character design and the nature thereof, despite being sketchy. |
 |
| Dramatic off the start! |
| :) |
| Well this is awkward. I thought this was a basketball anime lol. Just goes to show how blind I go into some anime. That aside I really did like this first episode and want to watch more so that's good. |
 |
| Why so much drama in episode 1? 4/10 Had pretty high expectations since friend said they cried while watching, but after ep 1, gonna lower it so I don't get disappointed by the rest. |
| God, what a shitty first episode. I mean, it's par for the course in anime to have a garbage first episode but it doesn't mean I won't complain about it. Anyway, I'd highly recommend anyone who wants to watch this anime watch Commie's BD release, it was released on the 13th of November 2015. It is by far the best version, HorribleSubs/Crunchyroll completely butchered this series. Hatsuyuki is not much better (plus they dropped it anyway). |
| First episode and I already love it. Shouyou is simply adorable and even though I've known him for less than 20 minutes, seeing him cry breaks my fragile little kokoro. Don't even get me started on how much Production I.G. delivered in the animation department: this little match was a feast for the eyes. This is going to be gewd. |

| Good First episode , seems like a good sport series . |
| Kageyama Tobio = Nanase Haruka Hinata Shouyou = Kagami Taiga Who's with me? I hope I'm not the only one who thought of that while watching. OP is good. The animation is really great, as expected from Production I.G. Will be watching more as soon as possible. Sapewloth said: This is going to be gewd. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| The anime contains intense character, deepness, convincing mentality and feelings of the characters and affective atmosphere and environment. Haikyuu!! captivates, definitely. |
We're just the boys and girls that think they always know... |
| Very impressed with this series. Can-do attitudes of the players. Rivalry, not enemies. Striving to perfection. Overcoming one's limitations, seeking out strengths and playing to those strengths. Impressed with how the teams thing through strategy like it was a chess game. Amazing animation sequences. Accurately depicting a fast moving sports sequence cannot be the least bit easy. The studio that produced this demonstrates absolute mastery over their craft. I'm not a sports fan, but Haikyuu!! draws you into the minds of the players and makes the game understandable to even a non-player. I've actually learned a lot about volleyball just from watching this series. |
| i was surprised i liked the main character as much as i did, he really won me over with that training by himself montage i liked everything about this episode except for the parts that were over emotional, which is a problem many of these sports shows suffer. they get way too metaphorical and give out-of-proportion gravitas to scenes. therefore 4/5 |
| It hasn't really sold me yet like the first episode of kuroko but i like the idea that these two people kind of hating each other will have to play together ! |
| MC gave me a headache, so annoying. He needs a snickers to calm the fuck down. |
| Pretty strong start to the series! |

| Hinata is such a smol aww. ;;; |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| Uh, I LIKE THIS xD I felt a little bit teary because MC lost his match after trying so hard, and I'm a person who personally couldnt care less about winning a competition. I like the animation, the action and the MC. 5/5 Lets see what happens next... |
| L had a poster of Norman in his room |
| Without getting spoilers. I already know this is going to be a really good anime. I cant wait to watch next episode but I also dont wanna finish the series. |

| My friends have all told me that this is better than Kuroko no Basket, so we will see ^_^. Liking the art direction a LOT so far. The transitions from the match to training scenes were so freaking smooth. Also the 3D segments looked great. |
