At this point, haikyuu is just unfair to other anime.

I really like how they showed Hinata looking at the poster outside the store. It was a nice callback to younger Hinata in the first episode looking at the Small Giant on tv. This show gives me so many feels wtf


this will give him even more determination especially when yachi is now a manager of the team! can't wait to see how the games will be played! :3

I loved this episode, especially the scene where Kiyoko-san's encouraging her to try new things; that you don't necessarily have to have experience or some kind of unwavering passion when doing so. You can just do things on a whim and you never know what greatness can be the result of that whim. Probably my favorite seen from the entire show because I can completely relate since I lack confidence when venturing into the unknown also.

Besides that lol.
Hitoka's adorable, her & Hinata would be super cute together; I love how he encourages her!
I like how her hair flares up too, like when she's excited - like in Ghibli films (so cute) :)

Completely yes! The timing of the recent chapters in combination with this current episode just made me so giddy when I saw that part.

Fantastic episode :D Glad Yachi's gained some confidence in herself and seems to have gotten closer to her mom. Hinata is such a great fellow, definitely deserved to be on the cover of the poster. Looked pretty awesome :)

Two minutes into the episode I was already so emotional.

Kiyoko is so cute talking so much, she seems genuinely happy to have Yachi around and I just cry.

I freaking LOVED this episode! I loved Yachi's character as soon as I saw but this episode made me love her even more. She developed as a person so much in this episode alone. After watching the practice match and how energised and motivated everyone was, that really made her want to try hard in something too. I like how they even showed her mother caring about but treating her a bit cold.

Hinata is definitely great at making conversation even if it's pretty wacky. The scene with just Hitoka and Yachi were my favourites. Yachi said she was like in a shoujo manga when Hinata dragged her to the train station and that was perfect. Yachi yelling to her mother that she'll become a volleyball manager made me smile so much and her mother even cried. : ) Yachi even created an amazing poster with Hinata spiking which helps funding towards their bus trip.

God, I freaking love Haikyuu. The characters are so genuine and fun and every episode leaves me smiling and really hyped for the next one. The OST is fantastic as always and love the volleyball action during the practice match. So glad Yachi joined Karasuno! <3

Holy shit the development in that episode was INTENSE. Yachi my girl, you grew so much! Seeing this part of the manga adapted into anime so well is making me extremely happy. IG you rock! This episode really highlighted my favourite aspect of Haikyuu > Its astounding ability to character develope in leaps and bounds, but not force it so much that it feels unrealistic/too rushed. The way I think it executes this so well? Through highly exceptional character interactions. The character growth in this series is so good because of it.

For manga readers, I know we are all so excited for the Tokyo training to commence!
That preview is making me so HYPE for it!

This Anime is just too awesome, the goosebumps factor in it is just too freaking high.
Kyoko is just too cool, I especially love THAT SMILE of hers:


Yachi is also a pretty good character, she is really starting to fit in and I see her either with Hinata or Kyoko (lol).
The poster was
BTW, will there be any further backstory for Kyoko, Manga readers, please enlighten me.

Liked this episode. Especially the part about Curiosity as that's exactly how i got into street fighter a year ago and now i don't miss watching a single event even with stupid ass time zone differences. A bit of curiosity is all you need to find what you love. This is why i dislike it when people won't try new things, especially when they haven't found what they love yet.

New manager is pretty funny, her mum seems cool, good stuff still, never fails to disappoint. She's not used to seeing men topless haha. The banter and reactions priceless as always.
