| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty chill episode. The more Saeko appears this season, the more I find her likable especially with her tomboyish personality and driving skills. I like how the show continuously emphasize on all the prominent teams as well with the small talks. Still pretty chill episode. I expect pacing to pick up soon.  Really nice to see Lev too~ |
 |
| Saeko is love, Saeko is life.....The hype for these teams are too real |
| They didn't do well... Tomboyish sister's ruthless driving... So she was the same year as little titan. Getting to know a bit more about him. Meeting other schools, including KajiKaji's character's school. They are so strong. As expected, they are shocked after the pair appeared, and a chance to not do that weird clutching. KajiKaji's character talking about his feeling with that half that happened in the special. lol @ the jump to try to exceed him. It's time to get stronger with seeing that half joining. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Forgot that if one has read the manga introductions arent that exciting, still I loved hearing Bokuto and Akaashi finally both voices are perfect. Bokuto's chuckle laugh thingy is his best aspect and Akaashi is good. Favorite moment was easily Inouka, Hinata, and Kenma in the room talking and such, and Yaku walking in with a tear in his eye cause Kenma is all social now. Hinata Kenma best friend (and lol at him saying how good Hinata was to Lev). up to c80 (covered c78-79) |

| The training arc is starting. Lol at Kenma using Hinata as reference to measure crappiness. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Was really cool seeing all the other teams at the group practice, especially Fukurodani and Nekoma. Can't wait for Karasuno vs. Nekoma! |
| Really digging this new Training type Arc. Haha Saeko is an interesting character, and by interesting I mean funny. Her tomboy attitude and insane driving is crazy awesome. Really looking forward to the next upcoming practice matches. Really excited to see what Lev is made off, especially against Karasuno's Quick Attack. Can't Wait :) |
| "Can't wait for the Unexpected" |
| The part where Yaku cried tears of joy because Kenma socializes xD |
| i'm very happy to see that the training arc is finally starting! personally one of my favorites! it was nice to see nekoma again! and it was also nice to finally get introduced to akaashi and bokuto. i'm really happy about the seiyuus that got cast as them, as i think the voices fits the characters perfectly! |
| My favorite arc from Haikyuu is finally here :') Nice to see the new characters and teams from this episode and I swear every episode from Haikyuu makes me crave more. |
| Saeko's really lively; interesting that she sort of knew who Hinata's idol is. Bokuto and Akaashi finally get introduced, and seeing Karasuno interact with Nekoma again was nice. Good episode. |
 |
| When Hinata doesn't smile the world breaks into million pieces ;_; I already can feel the angst and bitterness I'll feel during this arc,especially next episode...when the OTP..is breaking up.. And hopefully we'll get Oho ho ho and Tsukki time next episode Look it's kagehina's love child hahah  |

| Only Haikyuu can introduce new characters and make me like them all already. ALSO THAT OST AT THE END, I WANT IT! |
| Finally episodes with Nekoma *.* Looks like next episode will bring lot of tears... Karasuno fighto! >.< That driving xD Small Giant is like Hinata with black hair! *.* kawaii-despair said: Look it's kagehina's love child hahah Oooooooooooo~! xD Hurry up and bring me next episode - NOW! |
    |
| The improvement Karasuno will go thru this arc is gonna be epic. Can't friggin wait to see it all animated. Tsukki's development as well :3 I bet no one expected Hinata and Kageyama to not be able to make it :P Well at least it's just temporary ^^; Dat Tanaka smug(?) face when he was enlightening Tora with his club's managers was hilarious XD Creepy ass cat eyes are inherited by the Little Giants of Karasuno XD Saiko is one awesome Onee-chan. Poor Hinata with Kenma using him as the measure to how bad someone is was lol Anyway nice to see Hinata starting to think about improving. There's gonna be quite some inevitable drama in the nxt few eps but the result is gonna be epic. Looking forward to it |
 |
| The Little Giant looks so badass, and I love how symbolic it is that he has that same Hinata stare. I hope we eventually get to meet him!! Really good episode, though! It had a steady pace and we got to meet so many new characters! Hopefully Karasuno can get stronger now. Bring on all the tough training and life lessons! |
 |
| Nice episode. Hinata and Kageyama managed to make it to Tokyo. All thanks to Saeko. All these teams look very interesting. Nice to see Nekoma again and their new player Haiba Lev. Let the training begin. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| Saeko's driving skills (or lack thereof) were absolutely hilarious. It was also cool how she knew the Little Giant and sort of bonded a little with Hinata while telling him what she knew. I can't wait to see some of these other schools in action during this training arc, and to see how Karasuno improves against this impressive competition. Overall, another great and hilarious episode. Also, I'm already liking Bokuto, he's been in this one episode and is already bringing even more energy to the series. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| HEY HEY HEYYYYY Yaku the proud team mother. :') Basically everything about this show is perfect I don't know what do with my life anymore. My brother said I shouldn't be allowed to watch anime since I can't do it quietly, but seriously what do you expect, I mean this episode is just kawaii-despair said: Ohm y go d.Look it's kagehina's love child hahah |
 |
| This episode was too short for my liking. It was just like zoom and the ending song plays. Can't wait for the next episode!! |
| Funny how Hinata and Kageyama ended up failing anyway. All of new introductions were cool to see. |
 |
| Oh my Bokuto ♥ |
  |
| My darling Kenma is back <3 Saeko is so cool! I wonder if she will appear more often. |
| Training arc YAY KageHina's child OMG <3 |
| Wow Haikyuu!! just makes me so happy. This was a great episode, and I loved how they introduced the new characters (bokuto and akaashi! bokuto and akaashi! Their little introduction card was so cute) and it was good to see Lev again!!! The Little Giant looks a bit like a morph between Hinata and Kageyama, and he has Hinata's intense-stare eyes :3 The ost in this episode was also so good. So good. |
 |
| I just realized that in the opening nobody is in an official uniform, does that mean that all of S2 is the off season between tournaments? |

| Great episode of Haikyuu!! as always. It was cool to see some new characters, especially Nekoma's center ace player, Lev, who is a giant compared to Hinata. xD Hinata and Kageyama failed their exams so they had to take supplementary tests. Good thing Tanaka's sister was there to drive them to the venue but her driving was crazy, haha. It seems like Tanaka was in the same year level as the original little giant. From what we've seen, he does resemble Hinata, even with the hair style. Seems like Hinata and Kageyama are getting somewhat intimidated yet motivated after seeing Lev's movements. |
 |
| The little giant's eyes are more cat-like than Hinata's.. that INTENSITY! :D Saeko-neesan! Awesome :) that driving scene, hilarious! All these new characters seem interesting; plus Hinata's getting more determined - great things are coming :) |
| Amazing episode really funny especially the driving scene xD The little giant really does look like Hinata just with black hair. |
| Guess it's time for the upgrades to start next week, huh? I thought they'd give us the first glimpse of it this week. If they stop where I think they're gonna stop, some anime-only viewers might be a little...... pissed? Sad? I dunno which word would be the proper one to use. Yachi, though. She's really started to fit in with the team. Jackie_Ninja said: Amazing episode really funny especially the driving scene xD The little giant really does look like Hinata just with black hair. He's taller as well. |
 |
| I can definitely see Lev becoming a favorite of mine at some point. |
|
| Bokuto's epic debut! I loved this episode especially. The flashback with the Little Giant was great! Finally we get to see something other than a silhouette. Unsurprisingly looks similar to Hinata. But acts like Kageyama lmao. Also enjoyed the monologues by Nekoma Highs' coach towards the end. The realism in Haikyuu as a sports series is just incredible, the character interactions are second to none. Whenever Hinata cuts people off mid-sentence to prove his point with instant action, is just always stunning. Lev is a great addition to Nekomas' team, the dude is 6'4 with talent and potential. Can't wait for next week's episode. This scene… was almost as epic as that jump he pulled on Ushijima. |
 |
| Nice episode. The little giant and Hinata look somewhat alike. Next episode should be good as finally get some matches in. |
| Really cool episode. We finally got to see the Little Giant, Interested in seeing how Karasuno is gonna evolve over the course of this Training arc. |

Thank the gods, when all else fails I.G. Productions doesn't. |
 |
| Great episode as usual. I'm loving Lev even more, like wow. His spikes are great and he doesn't act too cocky either. Bokuto's voice sounds great! Nice job, Kimura Ryouhei. I'll be looking forward to all the ohoho's in the future! |
| Episode was too short! ;^; |
| "There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!" "Aah? Of course I won't miss!" "My blood tastes like Iron." "Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!" |
| yay for more nekoma! can't wait to see some more practice matches :> |
 |
| Saeko's driving skills was awesome lol Im really excited on how Karasuno evolves..!! Karasuno Fight!! |
 |
Wow, Migi from Parasyte doing a cameo on Haikyuu!! Noice! Re-watched the episode and man, as a Sugawara fan, I wish they had focused just a little bit on his performance before Tobio arrived in Tokyo ;~; |

| [size=90]The boys finally arrived in Tokyo! And thanks to the amazing nee-san the first years were able to catch up Glad they included the story of the small giant in this ep. Kageyama sleeping... (I'm being a fukn creep rn I'm sorry) T__T  Finally! More Lev pls <3 The height difference between him & Hinata is ridiculous -,-  |
  |
| Great episode as always |
| Wooo, we got to see Nekoma again and got a little of Fukurodani! :D The freak quick made it's impact right away. But Hinata is starting to realize that it's not at the level he wants it to be. Next week will be the start of some huge developments! Again, a well done episode! ^^ |
 |
| the half russian and jap guy was pretty cool... and so was the driving in the first half haha. Can rival Yayoi of Miss Monochrome xD Cant wait for them to square off against Nekoma.. things will get interesting!! |
 |
Hello said: Kageyama sleeping... (I'm being a fukn creep rn I'm sorry) T__T Would have been creepier if you had put in the gif where he moves his mouth in that sleepy way. Good episode, looking forward to the next one and their development. |
