THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It was an alright episode. I thought Hinata's spikes are still consistent and his plays are solid.

I also liked how the teamwork worked out with the OST. It really bought out some of the plays there. Now this made me lol a bit in the episode:

Heated up game with everyone getting the scores for themselves. The opponent team began to use fake for confusion.

lol @ the coach's "evil guy" 's face! They lost, though, by KajiKaji's character's picking up. lol @ at again and again. That old coach's comment and competition to the real game. Oh my... they got so friendly to each other after the games. The only ones who are in bad aura are the coaches and captains.

New OP and ED next? (Even the BD DVD CM has New OP)

End of live-streaming. Going to watch raw for about two months starting next week

This was a great episode! Nekoma defeated Karasuno but it still a great practice match. Nekoma's team is just more experienced. It's good to see that both teams respect each other (well most of them anyway xD). That moment with Tanaka and Yamamoto was hilarious. They're so similar, even their character designs are really similar. xP Hinata and the other first-year was funny too describing how they like each other doing the 'wham' and 'bam'. xD Can't wait for future matches~

Any ideas when the OST for this anime comes out?

Good episode as always, seems the next episode will get up to when the official match is just about to start.

There were was a scene after the ED, I hope you guys didn't miss it.

^ I just checked Haikyuu's official site, it hasn't announced anything about the OST release yet. :(

Really loved the after-match! (so many funny moments!) I really love all Nekoma's player! :D

Karasuno has to improve their receives!

And goodbye to the current OP&ED, I really love both, I hope the new ones would be good as well!!

That was a good match. Everyone gaining new friends after the game.

Next OP and ED next ep? I hope the next OP will be as good as the first one.

Can't wait for Inter-High! That would be a great arc.

Gotta love the character relationships.
It's true that they lost their practice match to Nekoma, but all their games were off by a few points.
I'm happy to see that they remained friendly even after the match.
Kenma's chill as usual, a bit spooked by Kageyama, lol.
Can't wait until the next episode though.
So many good things await us.

hinata and Inuoka in the aftermatch did remind me of tweedledee and tweedledum, jumping and speaking like that lol

When Nekomata told about the phonecall from Ukai it was kind of touching "a good rival is hard to find"

Great episode.

It was nice seeing them play 6 sets and each one Karasuno was getting Closer and closer. Damn Hinata's stamina is endless XD and loved how Nekoma's coach said that that combo will become not only an oni and a club but oni and oni :D

The after match interactions were hilarious XD
Tobio mumbling the questions to Kenma
Yamamoto being shy and his new bromance XD
Hinata and Inouka's gibberish XD
Kuro and Daichi's fake smiles
Coach acting tough on Ukai because he looks like his gramps XD

All so hilarious hahaha. Love this rivalry :D

And I am speechless once again... Everything about this anime is so perfect and fun and awesome.

If I could give it a score greater than 10, I would have given it. I love this anime so much!

Kageyama chanting those sentences in his mouth was hilarious. Tanaka found a good friend, too. Awesome episode is awesome.

Hinata’s enthusiasm is always entertaining to watch. The save by Kenma to win the first match was awesome.
The scene after the ED was nice. Karasuno lost all the matches, but everyone looks motivated to improve now.

Man, I like this anime so much that it's a pain to wait 1 week for the next episode. I'll probably start reading the manga soon because I'm just too hooked on it and too impatient xD

Hopefully the new ED/OP will be just as nice as the current ones (I love them both), I'm also really excited for the OST because the BGM is just so nice....it always fits perfectly into the scene(s)

I "liked" that they didn't instantly win this match, shows that they still have a lot to improve on. The interactions after the match were pretty funny as well :)

It was cool to see Ukai have an impact on the teem ! :)
Nekoma has team experience though and you can see that. Karasuno is so rough !

Damn Hinata's last hit was good :(
I can't wait for them to have an official match like the old coach said !

What a fast pacing. 4 chapters adapted.

They skipped a flashback of Kenma and Kuroo >.<

Nevertheless, a great episode.

7/10 for this ep.
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.

The practise match ends!
The relationships between these two teams xD Rivalry or crying together!
Tanaka got kind of weird with that comment for getting ignored! In a good way!
Kageyama's interest in the other setter xD
That communication in a different language!
Once Karasuno has build their team play!!! Can't wait for that to happen!

Man, this show is on par with Kuroko no Basket, it gave me the same tense feeling during the games. I love that a sports anime can do that, make you sit on the edge of your seat and get excited during the games. Especially since I hate watching real sports games.

Wish there had been more Kageyama, he's great.

I can't describe how amazing this episode is, all the characters in here are very likable and the rivalry scenes were funny XD. I thought Karasuno might win a set, bet I guess they need to enhance themselves better.

Here's hoping that they will win in upcoming games :D.
