Manga readers are dreading next weeks episode.


I can't wait for more Bokuto and Akaashi! Their intros this episode were adorable. Also Yachi, Kiyoko and Saeko were awesome too.

The Little Giant looks like Hinata with the hair and eyes and all.

Lev seems kinda overrated. He's tall and all but he lacks experience.

I am liking Saeko with her tomboyish personality.

Those cat-eyes. Guess it is a trademark of all Little Giants.

So we got an introduction of some new teams. Lev looks like he is going to be a great character.

It looks like Hinata's quick attack is going to get blocked next episode. Waiting for some character development (which we are bound to get).

Was it just me or did this episode look like it was only five minutes long?

This really makes me want to know more about the Small Giant. Saeko's flashback is the most backstory we have about him so far, and that isn't much. Seems like he had some drama in his school days. I really hope Hinata gets to meet him one day.

It was great seeing some of the other teams and their specialties, especially looking forward to more Fukurodani.

I loved Hinata chilling with Nekoma, he's really such a friendly person. Yaku in tears because Kenma was talking so much without being shy :')

Lev actually leaves an intimidating first impression on Hinata, though I have a hard time taking him seriously. It was crazy how Hinata looked half his size.

The most important part of the episode is that it shows the beginnings of Hinata's frustration. After hearing all this talk about aces and seeing how the other teams start to adapt to their plays after awhile, he's starting to feel like the rate things are going is not good enough and he wants to get better faster. The next episode is titled 'Greed', and we will see just how intense Hinata is about wanting to become better and his frustration with the level he is playing at.

These episodes are always over so quick! Thoroughly enjoyable as usual, Hinata has realised their freak quick is a bit of a gimmick that people can adapt to. Looking forward to his inevitable improvement.

Awesome episode, I enjoyed seeing the small bits of game play going around and I’m really looking forward to see the rest animated. I know Lev is really tall but damn beside Hinata he looks like a giant a little too much.

I really like Lev. I thought he'd be the aloof type at first but he's a nice guy, even funny too. I like his vision of volley too.
Great episode, Tanaka has the coolest big sister. 5/5

I find it refreshing how they didn't pull a 'miracle exam pass' here! Also, I didn't know a pass in Haikyuu was only 40/100. lol.

Interesting seeing all these new teams and aces. I foresee some difficult match ups in the future. Lucky Shouyo is growing as a player and is learning by observing others to improve his own skill. I see some potential growth routes that he can take.

I'm surprised Kageyama could sleep during that roller-coaster ride....

Why am I not surprised that Hinata and Kageyama ended up having to take a supplementary exam before they could go to the practice in Tokyo? But poor Hinata. If he hadn't made such a simple mistake that affected his score so dramatically, he never would have had to take the supplementary exam.

Watch out for Sakeo's bad driving, though! It was nice that she agreed to get Hinata and Kageyama to Tokyo, but it didn't seem to be a very safe ride for either one of them.

A new character for one of the other teams is introduced at the practice: a half-Russian guy named Lev. He's one of the tallest players we've seen in the series, and he's only a first-year. But it looks like he could be an issue for Hinata and Kageyama's quick play. But even outside of that, Hinata is picking up on the idea that their quick play isn't going to work on these strong teams forever, and that some are even starting to pick up on it. I'm guessing we'll probably be seeing Hinata and Kageyama trying to evolve from simply being a "one trick pony" as the season continues.

The most satisfying thing was seeing Hinata not satisfied.
They need to get better, much better.

Even though I am enjoying my time, I miss the huge tension in Haikyuu
Hopefully next episode won't be another chill episode.

Woah, Lev was actually pretty cute. I thought that he was going to be the stereotypical cold opponent, but he's actually much nicer. I hope that he doesn't get too cocky.
I missed Kenma and Kuroo so much, this arc is going to be awesome.

Episode very interesting and engaging, narrative is usable and fielding many new features that make the story much more complex as re-introduce and expand the discourse on how it should be the ace of the team and on the considerations of the final episode, made by coach of Nekoma. Not bad the participation of Saeko, drawings and animations always excellent, can not wait to follow the next episode.

A lovingly huge shout out to the females of this series who don't just sit around with love interest-type personalities. These girls are legitimately awesome. I'm especially happy to see more Kiyoko and how much more opened up she's become. While I feel it's being used to inform more than anything, it's also helped the audience connect with her more, so nothin' against that!

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

damn season 2 is so much better than season 1.

why do japs act like 190cm (6ft 2) is massive? they drew lev like he was 7ft. i guess that height is pretty uncommon over there.
