----------------------------------------
I kinda liked the focus of the strategies in this episode, in particular with the lineup. Hinata's spikes are alright although not overly impressive imo.

Glad to see Tsukki taking on an active role with his defensive abilities.
Yachi was pretty priceless to watch on the sidelines LOL.

The height did get their way, but they somehow realized the weak point. Then their new skill shocked the enemy team.

Minus tempo?! Interesting. Others' skills are a plus, too. The tall guy doesn't give up, though. They won with close score. lol @ "Hogya" Meeting Eguchi-san's character (top 4 team) and trying to protect manager when getting his cute bento.

January 9 27:18 next. Practice ep.?

Vs. that tall guy and his team proved to be difficult at first because of the blocking, but Karasuno pulled through in the end. Decent match/episode. Lol at Hinata walking in on Kiyoko getting bothered by other guys.

It was an awesome episode ! It felt like it lasted 10 minutes or something. Seriously, one episode per week isn't enough.

Hinata protected Kiyoko scene was so cute!

I thought this gonna be hard game for them,
but looks like they made it without problems!
They grown up so fast! *.*
This was cool game!

This is nice feeling where lot of series are ended or soon will end
and there is Haikyuu which is still ongoing!
Ach... Great feeling! :D

Dat Quick hype!! Hyakizawa didn't even see it coming lol
"Follow the ball" my ass XD but it was nice seeing how he was getting excited as the match went by. He's definitely gonna be scary nxt time.

Loved how they scored so much quicks and Hinata getting that last point with a wipe was awesome!! So much satisfaction!! The whole team went in :D

Dat Hinata saving Kiyoko (so cute in it <3) scene was great! Scared shitless but still going to save their precious manager XD If only Ryu and Noya knew lol They're already having some antagonistic feelings with this smug. Dem faces they made were hilarious followed by Daichi's warning LMAO

And Yachi wth is that face XD

Minus tempo to the wipe that ended the match. Making the really tall player jumping diagonally to nullify the advantages of the height.

Being this versatile in their plays, can't wait to see Karasuno go up against a lot of strong teams!

Nice to see Karasuno's hard work finally paying off. Every episode has been enjoyable. Info on the OST needs to come out soon. It's just as great as the first season's.

why do sports anime insist on focusing on these almost pointless matches? The only defining aspect of this match was that guy's height. Still it was nice to see Karasuno's new techniques coming together more and more. And Hinata's weird spike at the end was nice.

Man, this has to be one of my favorite Haikyuu episodes! xD I love the silly Nishinoya and Tanaka duo moments along with Sawamura's warnings.
Yachi's face was similar to mine. Their first official debut of their new spike! Hinata was awesome in that blockout too!!

It was great to see Hinata and Kageyama's new quick work, and that they found a way to get past Hyakuzawa's height. The scene with Hinata interfering with those guys who were bothering Kiyoko was also funny. A decent episode, can't wait for the next one.

Looks like I was worried for nothing lol....Great job Karasuno and great job Kageyama, Nishinoyo and Hinata

That other team that they met at the end tho......Semi finalists in the Inter High O_O They're lucky that Tanaka and Nishinoyo weren't there to see them hitting on Kiyoko lol

Minus Tempo FTW

Nishinoya & Tanaka really need their own spin-off.

Their victory was predictable although it was nice to see how they manage to beat the tall guy (who's really annoying). Hinata was very impressive on his own. This episode had many funny moments & the OST was glorious during some scenes. 4/5

I like when Karasuno thinking strategically to get past Hyakuzuwa's height. I would love to buy the new Ost, because it's absolutely beautiful and fits the scenes/moments very well. I feel like one episode per week isn't enough because I want more. Anyways, can't wait for next episode.

Karasuno having some trouble with Kakugawa.
Especially with the 2M tall guy.
Good to see Karasuno overcome some of the difficulties.
Liking the new quick Kageyama and Hinata are using.
Well Karasuno have made it past the prelims.

The author intended them to appear again when the 3rd years retired, meaning Hinata will be on 2nd years and some of them they will battle again. There are other teams to look out for (you will see old and new ones) until they match up to
. And the good thing is, he's even giving them characterization that is no other writer on sports anime/manga doing better than him in this regard (well, this is a praise).

I enjoyed this episode, I appreciate episodes and chapters that focus on training and strengthening but I like episodes and chapters that focus on matches more.

Hinata surely surprised everyone at the end and even Kageyama was quite happy. Of course, a win is a win after all.

Terushima hitting on Kiyoko but focusing on Hinata after finding out he was from Karasuno. I can't wait for them to have a match up.

Fantastic match.. nice to see hinata pulling off stuff he learned... and that 2m guy's got a ton of potential.. not liking their future opponents tho.. hopefully karasuno will whoop their butts when the time comes.

Yeah, I was pretty much expecting this team to be somewhat of a one-trick pony.

hq!! starts with the day yamaguchi recieved a grim reminds, yamaguchi and yachi scared of the 2m kid was funny. and yachi lives to tell the middle (same height) students the tale of survival.

sorry but pervy kags pfft while hinata's excited face doesnt really tell he is excited i mean, im sorry sunshine child but if i didnt know u i would say u are a perv.

hinata getting hit by the ball was funny. guwahh

the first thing that came to mind when i saw this


terushima and his team should piss off. not the manager tho. protect the manager

ushiwaka japan <33

also hinata likes cute things confirmed

i cant wait for the next episode and the bathroom encounters!!
