the team trained hard for the tournament, and the next episode will already have a match
Hinata and Kageyama are funny at first sight when seen together, but they sure make a strong duo, and the rivalry between them does not decrease also
Kiyoko was very kawaii in this episode, very funny scene from team crying ..
and that start the tournament ..

Another good and hilarious episode. I totally lost my shit with trap Tanaka, best girl.
Seriously this show is too much fun, the character interactions are so damn great.

Very good episode with so much fun interaction and rivalry! Hehehe Can't wait to see how this all pans out!

Only part I didn't like was the ending. The first OP/ED were really spot-on; this new one not so much.

6.5/10 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 new song is pretty cool.

Great episode! This episode was so much fun! Seriously they never fail to deliver the humor. Absolutely love this anime. It's simply amazing, like how could you dislike this?

I love the funny moments within this episode. During the captains speech at the pep rally Tanaka put up a peace sign and Suga slapped his hand down. Man I swear its little stuff like that, that makes me appreciate this anime even more. I adore this anime. It has a perfect score from me and I think it may stay that way!

Funny episode with dorky kageyama and blushing shimizu. She's so cute!! Tanaka was really funny with the girlfriend thing i laughed a lot. I want to see michimiya more and the female volleyball team, her conversation with daichi made me curious. And a really beautiful ending omg
The next episode will be good i want to see it. And finally inter-high!!

I really liked the expansion of content and inclusion of GIRL SPORTS. It's unusual when a guy sports manga gives us a taste of ladies' sports and doesn't downplay its importance in of itself. And ladies' goals in general.

And yayyyy Hinata + Suguwara team up! The Oni and is Iron Club are great for driving the heart and all, but the little moments with these different team-ups are fascinating.

+1 Tanaka-kanojo. Date yourself pls. ♥
+2 Ennoshita takedown. 'Nuff said.


Dislike: awkward pacing throughout episode undermined the impact of a number of scenes. And that ending sequence... ;__; great music yet so lame. Hope we're getting the real OP+ED next week.

That was classic! Suguwara doesn't even need to change expressions or check why he's lifting his arm; he knows Tanaka well enough to to figure it's something stupid. <3

OMG.
A girl besides Shimizu?!

Haha, good episode.
I was surprised by how shy Shimizu is, but the boys' reaction was hilarious.
Also, that poster was surprisingly artistic. Really simple and meaningful.
Nice reminder of Hinata and Kageyama's rivalry, as well as a little recap in the ED.

On another note, Ryu is pretty hot.
Pumped for next week!

GET THE HYPE!

Shimuzu, she's best manager. The sempai reactions were priceless.

Tanaka girl imitation was hilarious xD
Poor him, he just keep and keep fantasizing... I know dat feeel ;_;

Daichi friend was so cute (talking about the girl, not the dude). Gotta love tomboyish girl.

Anyway, tournament's about to begin. It will be fun :)

i'm so late to watch this just now :(
but still I LOVE THIS EPISODE
Haikyuu never fails to make me laugh. never.

the banner is so cool. the simple black background and kanji "tobe"
simple yet kakkoi!! love it!!!

i think Daichi and the girl volleyball's captain relationship are somehow cute <3
will there be some romance development between them?? lolll

so the first match they will play against Daichi's old-friend's school... i hope there will be a sad reunion!
because the old-friend is always looking to the sky(?) remembering the middle school days w/ Daichi.

Tanaka is so funny! finally his dream to be given encouragement from girl is came true!! lololol
The moment that the second and third years student cry is the best. i laughed like super LOLOLOL

OH THE NEW OP IS REALLY NICE. YAY SUKIMA SWITCH.
but i miss SPYAIR's "imagination". I always sing along when the OP plays ;(

The next episode will be their first match! i hope for the best!
can't wait~~

What a cute 'ganbatte'
It's hard to gauge the team's improvement. Hopefully they make it a couple rounds in, but I don't feel they are anywhere good enough to make it to the nationals.

Maybe if this series continues until Hinata is a senior, that would be the appropriate time for his team to make it to the nationals and have a match against the best team.

AAALLLRRRIIIGGGHHHHTTTOOOOO!!!!!!! I'm hyped up too!!!!. What a perfect 1st half ender.

So far I like how the story is going it's somewhat slow but still a perfect pace. The opening and ending theme songs are also catchy. But what really got me is the character development. For such a short span of time, they're not even in the tournament yet, you can already see the character's growth and the direction of the team. Even the minor characters have much more development than the main characters in other series. Special mention goes to Shimizu Kiyoko as underrated girl of the season.

Not much of a volleyball fan, lest men playing, but this is such an interesting series so I'm reserving my score to 8.5/10 maybe a 9.
