| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Woo, I like this new OP song. (AH YEAH!) The episode was good in terms of the buildup. This guy was interesting though for being Mr. Popular:  Definitely looking forward to the upcoming matches. HYPE. The match already in this episode proves itself to be worth watching. I like how they used the raven as a symbol for flight to ascend as potential champsions. I thought that was neat. |

| Wish the match would have started earlier though >.> Can't wait for the one against Datekou ! Gotta love the humour in this anime, the best i've seen for a sports anime. You can actually really enjoy every moment out of the game. The rumours about Amazume haha. "He seels illegal substances on the street" "here's your hankerchief" haha. |

| Love the new OP and ED. Noya and Tanaka guarding Kiyoko was hilarious. The Dateko player that pointed at Asahi is creepy. The line-up before the match was so intense! Really exciting start to the match. Hinata is already getting a lot of attention. |
| Can't wait for next ep! Shit just got real! |
| I thought this episode was hilarious. :P Great start for the inter-high tournament!! |
   |
| argh, tsukki needs more screentime... anyway very awesome ep 5/5 |
 |
| New OP is nice. lol @ the beginning with the 3rd years conversation going out of expeted way. Everyone’s comments about Karasuma going to overridden with that main guy’s high jump. Cannot wait for next ep. to find out if they won. lol~ as expectd from Namikawa_san’s character. so funny! |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Kakkoii Karasuno... "FLY" that was so badass. |
| yay, the tournament started! comedy was gold as always. |
 |
| Most people thinks Karasuno is weak! Asahi's actual reality and the rumors xD Noya and Ryuu's shield around Kiyoko! They make a great pair. Seeing the girl's volleyball team was refreshing, they are somewhat interesting especially the relationship between the two captains :P The tournament starting, the first match seems like a breeze. The ravens will fly, Hinata's spike with the essence of a rising raven! |
 |
| Damn, I can't wait for next week for that moment!!! Loved how this episode was packed with comedy! And Karasuno as a whole looks so badass together! I like the previous ED better, but the OP was good! |
| Very good episode. I always get a good laugh from this and hyped the tournment started. Also love the new OP and ED. |
 |
| Awesome episode, great buildup. I'm so glad they didn't use hinatas nerves as a joke, that would have pissed me off. i'm so glad we got to see some of the match, seems promising. only 9 episodes left, damn. |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| Honestly one of the most dynamic sport animation I've seen so far in an opening. Love it alot, song really nice too. Tournament starts ;]! Go team Karasuno!!~ |
| that final fast play, my gawd! so intense, animated so good! I need to watch the match! Tobe karasuno, tobe!! poor Asahi, if I wasn't laughing I'd feel sorry for him |
 No Blood! No Bone! No Ash! |
| Hinata flying! Glad to see everyone got to show their power. |
 |
| The scariest for hinata is kageyama. ...♡♡♡♡ |
| Gonna miss old OP&ED, but I started to like new ED *.* Hinata so cool! I just have hope this will be not like in other shows, when main team in first episode win, then in next one lose, next one win, next one lose and in final win... *Yeah, I looking at you Kuroko no Basuke* Really like animation in this episode :) Also Kageyama smile in ED *.* Can't wait to see next episode! |
    |
| Hilarious ep XD The way Karasuno appeared behind those guys bad mouthing them was so lol XD Dem faces hahaha Always love to see how people react to Hinata being this BA :D And Oikawa only cares about him too XD Lol'd at Tanaka and Noya surrounding Shimizu to protect her XD And finally really feel bad for Asahi. Those rumours were so lol XD he was just doing good and was misunderstood XD |
 |
| Really preferred the old OP/ED. Awesome episode though, they're animating the chapters so well. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| New OP & ED were awesome! And as always, great episode - never fails to make me laugh! Looks like we'll see more of the girls' volleyball team next week too, yay! Fly, Karasuno! |
| I look forward to Tanaka and Noya's antics every week XD |

| Missing the old OP/ED. This episode was so amazing though *_* One week is going to be a long wait! |

| Oh God I cannot contain the excitement! So cool! Show them what you got Karasuno! |

| ^ Indeed.. Love that end "flying" part by Hinata. FLY, Karasuno!!! |
SeTzu said: damn so bad ass the chills man the chills |
 |
| Awesome! All the teams have started to compete against each other :D |
 |
| The end of the episode was badass! Good episode! I like how this adaptation is going. |
| Holy crap awesome episode. My hair is standing from all that excitement |
| Red is the color of a hero |
| A nice start of the tournament. |

| Best episode yet ! So pumped for next week :D |
 |
| Asahi was hilarious LMAO. When Hinata was flying though <3 I loved that part in the manga. Also! Tobio's smile at the end askdfjfksd |
 |
| Sooo good. Doesn't seem like this match with Tokonami will be too tense/difficult, so I think it was a nice choice that they decided to intersperse some scenes of the girl's volleyball team. The end had me fangirling so hard, seeing Hinata with the "Fly" poster behind him...ahh this show gives me such good feels. Also, Asahi is just hilarious. :) I neeeed the next episode omg. |
| I personally liked the first OP because it was much more pumping for the anime which was well suited. It seems the new ones are more sentimental but that's how I see it. Very nice episode, the pacing was kind of slow at the start but things got very good very fast, I love the whole "Fly" motif relating to Karasuno, and I have a feeling Hinata's nickname will revolve around this. Can't wait for the next episode! |

| Man that symbolism in the end with Hinata's "flying" was jaw dropping. Boombawks said: This episode was awesome "Ohh Yeahhhh" Literally lol's at that part. choked on laughter at that part. Mod Edit: Merged double post. Please edit your previous post |

"Komugi, are you there?" |
ashlelouch said: Man that symbolism in the end with Hinata's "flying" was jaw dropping. Agreed. This made for such a great finish to a fantastic episode. |
| Fuck yeah!! >:3 |
| FLY!!! :) |
 |
| Loving the tournament hype Btw, I like how they introduce the main characters based on their reps in sports anime like this |
| Didn't think that there would be another episode as hilarious as the last one with Nekoma, but this one was golden. Had me laughing though out. XD Tanaka and Noya make a great wall of their own, defending Shimizu. Hinata was absolutely BA this episode!!! Looking forward to next week! Also agree with most of the posters: liked the new OP, but still need to warm up to the new ED. Though the animation of the ED was nice, Kageyama smiling at the end was surprisingly sweet. :)) |
| This entire episode, all I could hear was: "Caw, caw, motherpluckers! We've got our effing wings out. Now FLY!" |
 |
| I love this anime. Can't say that enough. I love the new opening and ending especially since the ed was all about Tobio :) But apart of me still misses the old opening, there was just something special about it. This episode was nothing short of amazing. It has everything! Those hilarious moments and then those serious badass moments. When put together so well how could you not be satisfied? Seriously I feel bad for the people who are missing out on this wonderfully realistic, yet fun sports anime. I love watching everyones surprised reaction when Hinata and Tobio do their quick. Just gets me pumped up every time! |
 |
| F*** why did it have to end it here :(. It was so freaking intense when they are going full out at the ending scene. Waiting one week is torturing. I replayed that ending scene like 10 times when Hinata comes down flying, with the crow in the background. That is an epic screenshot with the banner :D. |
