| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This match was actually pretty interesting . Tobio's got some stiff competition there. Hinata needs to wake up and pay attention though LOL. I'm looking forward to their development when they take on more opponents soon. I do wonder how strong Hinata will become soon. The training at the end of this episode was awesome. |
 |
| So that member who came later from enemy team is NamiDai. He was sempai to "ex-court prince". His serving is too strong. But main guy is shocked him. Wow, what HiroC coach said is deep. Fair declaration between ex-teammates. Oh~, there's also a member who was missing in the team? They realized they still lacks even though they won. lol @ the about the returning member, a "hot headed" (trouble making in result) ace guy, is being shorter than the main guy. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I usually hate the popular hot guy type character, but I like Oikawa's character a lot for some reason. Maybe because of DAT SERVE~!!!! Liked the animation for it to! Tanaka's facial expressions are funny, hehe Can't wait to see Hinata develop his skills more, he's really clumsy atm |

| Oikawa’s first serve was awesome. The animation and music were perfect. HE'S SO DAMN SUAVE! Kageyama and Hinata’s counterattack was great too. Can’t wait for more Nishinoya next episode. |
| Oh man, Oikawa is such a laid-back guy and quite the annoying lady's man but his serves are amazing; they're such killers! However, the Kageyama and Hinata duo are also amazing too. Hinata's so speedy and was able to make a counter attack. Tsukishima and Hinata both need to improve with receiving though, haha. They beat Seijoh in this practice match but I seriously can't wait to see them in an actual tournament together; would be so intense. Nishinoya appears at the end of the episode. So he's the 'guardian god', he looks really cool and plus he's actually shorter than Hinata. xD Him receiving Kageyama's serve was great! Can't wait for next week's episode. Also, I can't stress it enough but the OST and animation is so GOOD! I really need to get the OST once it's out, absolutely love it. <3 5/5 |
 |
| so we finally have the libero! I can't wait for the coach to join and for the team to realise who it is lindsayzzz said: I really need to get the OST once it's out, absolutely love it. <3 up to now it's awesome! |
 No Blood! No Bone! No Ash! |
| NOYAAAAAA-SAAAAAN! Time to fangirl next week!! Ahh, it was soooooo awesome when Hinata made that super move against Aobajousai ! And his eyes! I super love his glaring eyes!!! |
| This episode was totally beautiful, I only have a gripe, I have to wait another week to watch the next :'(. Hinata last spike was epic! Did you noticed that he had his eyes opened, as opposite with the other spikes he does with Kageyama, and that he directed the ball to Oikawa. That is the biggest problem with closing his eyes, he doesn't directs the spike nor applies the correct strength to it, even though Hinata doesn't have that much strength to begin with :P. Next chapter is Asahi introduction and Nishinoya, given that he barely appeared in this episode. Can't wait. |
| Today's episode was absolutely amazing. Yamaguchi's voice actor really does take the cake today for all of those squeacks and Tsukkis +A. I'm getting the feeling the OST is every time more on point than before? Like, today was perfectly placed. The pace felt really nice although it covered a lot of the manga though? These were four chapters in one episode, the lenghtiest amount covered so far I think. It's maybe because in the manga the dialogue in between matches takes a lot more space than in an actual moving match. Also the trash babies were absolute trash this episode. 5/5, I'm SO HAPPY this adaption is going so freaking amazingly. |

It also ended the 2nd volume of the manga(except one extra about Tanaka's dream). Trash babies? |
| Woo, Intense game there! Kageyama isn't good at studies? That's sort of... I mean, he is smart, isn't he? It's even listed in his character bio: Intellect = 5. Now that's an accurate first interpretation, Hinata. He is shorter than you xD |
 |
| Yamaguchi and his "Tsukkiiiiiiiii" is so cute ! I felt like the episode was quite fast paced but well it didn't really bother me, even if I was a little sad not to see Tanaka and Hinata freaking out because of Daichi's "fufufufu" Nishinoyaaaaaaaaaaa ! He's so cool and Hinata that's rude ! xD Can't wait for next week (Asahi/Noya angst) TragicRomance said: Woo, Intense game there! Kageyama isn't good at studies? That's sort of...

| It was pretty funny, as always. Cant wait till next weeks. :) |
   |
| Man Oikawa, daamn. Kageyama and Hinata's counterattack was awesome too Two more characters to come in! Can't wait for them to join. Can't wait till next week >.< |

THIS THIS THIS I actually replay this part A LOT OF TIMES IT IS (AND STILL) SOOO PERFECT nice job delivering the part, Production I.G! Man, next episode centering around Asahi and Noya is what I want ahaahhaaaha although I'll be like "no what are you doing you two. no, stahp, please make up. aaahhh" and yes, I can't wait to hear them talking (heck yeah I was super pleased after finally hearing Namidai's voice for Oikawa) and I still can't get enough of the drama cd this episode is perfect I don't even know why |
 |
| I love this series! I really love this series! Please, don't let this series end up like Kuroko no Basket with some supernatural attacks and zones -.- I really love Tanaka-sempai! I really like how Hinata and Tanaka are like brothers xD Younger brother try to act like older :D And this part when he hidden behind Tanaka's back and repeated after Tanaka xD Kageyama and Hinata's last attack was so cool! *.* Oh! Just love this series! Can't wait to see more <3 |
    |
| Oikawa is awesome, I had expected a boringl rival character, but he is so not. |
| Great episode as usual Time for member gathering and He's here!!! |
| Tanaka's intimidation faces xD Great king with his girl fans. So, Kageyama learned most of his stuff from the great king, the king's serves were good. Hinata's block and spike, liked how it froze Oikawa. The teacher trying to get the clerk to coach them. The director with the ravens looked pretty cool. The guardian deity was holding that mop before. Hinata's first words to him though was that he is short :) A senpai that is said to be a genius, that sudden receive at the end. |
 |
| Awesomely great, can't wait for the next episode. So glad Karusano won in the end, ah I want to know more about this "unique genius". I'm trying to resist the urge to read the manga, I just want to watch this anime flow without me knowing what's going to happen next. |
| *cough cough* please excuse me for a moment Can I just say.... Noooooooyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaa~!!!!! Was hoping to see a little more of him, but it was okay, got to see him animated :D Oikawa the "grand king" and his killer animated serve Takeda sensei (Kamiya Hiroshi's) moving speech lol The "guardian god" eh I thought the animation while Kagama was aiming for the bottle was superb (as usual but still) Asahi getting some screen time in that preview too. Wow another week passes by....? :O |
 |
| That was awesome!!! And the Dai Ou's serve was beastly as fuck. And his face when Hinata spiked it right to him and he couldn't return. Just too gud. And it looks like now we'll have two chibi giants. |
| OH YEAAAAAAAAAH!!! NOYA YOU'RE FINALLY OUT!! XD |
 |
| Holy Shit!! EPIC!!! Thank u Thank u Thank u Production I.G. Perfect adaption so far :D Tanaka's jealousy of Oikawa with those faces was so lololol XD Loved Oikawa's serves so much!! So BA!!! Dat animation!! And he's awesome as a character too ^^ Wanting to say "Don't mind" to Kageyama after owning him XD Because that annoys geniuses XD Hinata was friggin BOSS!!! How he blocked with that emotionless face of his and then DAT FRIGGIN SPIKE!!!!!!!!!!! SO DAMN EPIC!!! He intentionally aimed at Oikawa like a BOSS! The animation was eygasmic and the OST was eargasmic! I got friggin goosebumps there >.<! Lol'd at how envious Hinata and Tobio were after hearing Ukai's coaching is spartan XD And finally! Noya is back :D His receive was awesome ^^ Nxt ep with Asahi and Noya. Hope they don't take more than 3 eps to settle every thing ^^ |
 |
| For some reason, i'd really want Hinata to learn how to be better at receiving too.. Awesome episode though!! I replayed Hinata's and Kageyamas play 3x times. lol! |
 |
| Great ep as usual. Another character appears! Likin' him already. I wonder when Hosoya's character will show up. xD I'm looking forward. I predict that he'll be like Kiyoshi (from Kurobas) but it seems like we already have one like that. parfaited said: Hinata's such an idiot singing about the toilet. People might have found him annoying but I think his voice is fantastic. ^ |
| Yamaguchi's "TSUKKIs" were really hilarious.. he is like a nervous girl. Haha. And here I was waiting excitedly to hear the voice of the new character. But well, can't wait for next week. Nice receive though. And he looks shorter than Hinata!!!! |
| Hahaha. Love the fact that the libero for Karasuno is shorter than Hinata! Whoo. Can't wait to see what kind of character he has, he looks some sort of delinquent, especially with the broken mop connected to him. He probably got suspended in a fight or something similar. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I thought Oikawa will be tougher in this episode, but was underestimated by Hinata's speed and their strategy. I got to admit that first serve he did, was pretty impressive. I like all the characters in here that made it too funny instead of being too dramatic and mediocre. I thought Oikawa was going to be some dragged out harsh character but seems to me that he is doing it for a friendly competition. That imitation faces, Hinata's eyes open, that score, great episode. Oh seems like the Guardian God is here to save the day. LOL at Hinata, You're shorter than me XD. |
| Another great episode. Aobajohsai's captain Dai-Ou Oikawa. Woah, his beasty serve. Karasuno won. Libero Nishinoya, finally! Next ep.: Karasuno's ace appears. |
| Hyuga Junpei: “Yeah… I’m confident… Because my teammates will help me out! I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!” Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.” |
| The official setter of the other team gets back and it seems he's really good from what Kageyama said. Goddamn! Hinata is really amazing and cool, my favorite character in the series! Great speech sensei! So their Guardian Deity is supposed to come back soon it seems. A guy smaller than Hinata has appeared! |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Ah, the absent member. Always a good way to make the tournament interesting after the exhibition match. Great episode - they really make Hinata's dash a marvel to watch. Will be interesting to see how the shop attendant helps out. |
| So this is Noya EPIC!!!!!!!!! |

AnimeFan500 said: Who will voice him? It says Okamoto Nobuhiko on Noya's MAL page :) But yeaah, he's finally making his debut in the anime! Going against Oikawa was good experience for Karasuno since what he said was true, if they can't connect successfully, then there are no chances for attacks. Tsukki even with his douche personality (still love you) isn't great at receiving like Hinata either so it's unfortunate that he was being targeted. But that just means that there are a lot they can improve on. |
| Tanaka-senpai is the best character! |

| based I.G. great episode |
 |
| tanaka and his intimidating faces xD wow that art style change on oikawa's first jump serve lol hinata interrupting that serious scene with his toilet song and he always hides behing tanaka when intimidating others, so cute xD Iwaizumi and Oikawa remind me of Kasamatsu and Kise xD can't wait for the next episode!!!~ Asahi and more Nishinoya! |
( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ |
| a strong opponent appeared and with it concerns over the power of team but a strong ally also appeared at the end and a great coach is also expected the story promises to further improve |
  |
| I felt Oikawa's part of the game was rushed. His introduction was supposed to be game-changing and really put Karasuno on the edge, but this situation lasted less than ten minutes, making it seem like a minor obstacle. This is a minor complaint though, and I blame it on the nature of the transition from weekly 20-page manga to 22-minute anime. I liked a lot the post-game discussion between Kageyama and Kindaichi. Kindaichi's line were very cool and in-character. The highlight of the episode, in my opinion. Tanaka's expressions were priceless, as always. I also liked sensei's poetic speech, and how he immediately apologized for being cheesy. Man, what a teaser. Can't wait to see Nishinoya interact with the group. |
| Good episode, I'm enjoying this more and more as each episode comes by |
 |
| This episode was awesome as well! Never fails to amaze me. Namikawa Daisuke as Oikawa sounds reeeaaaallly good. And that first serve. |
| I really love those service sequence where the animation style change. That arrogant guy sure was powerful. But the new guy seem even more amazing :) |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| Awesome episode, I can't wait for next week. |
| 04:45 dat track 06:41 u talk too much 07:43 sugee!! 10:55 LOOOL 13:41 Chibi Vegeta! 21:20 dat Hinataface 22:23 kitta, Saiyajin! 7.5/10 for this episode. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
