THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The match is nice, a lot of fast plays in the first half especially Kentarou. The more I see him play, the more impressive he appears especially with spiking. Maybe it's his aggressiveness or personality or something..

Also interesting at how the plays involving the spiking are highlighted with character expression and camera angles.


The position of Hinata's team is interesting with the routine positions of both front and back. Clever clever :o

That new guy is strong... but is very stubborn. Hit and miss, though. Main guy hitting from the back for the first time, and didn't hit successfully.

NamiDai's character's scary serve, and it's a success this time. Miyu-Miyu's character's turn, finally. He came in with strategy as he aims for that new guy, so that he cannot attack after receiving. As they immediately found a way to fight against that, by letting someone else receive, Miyu-Miyu's character is out. :( They are in pinch, it seems.

This episode just became one of my most favorites *-*

Oikawa alone is terrifyingly good, but they also have Iwa-chan and now Kyo Ken-chan. And that guy is absolutely amazing! And really adorable :3

Also finally it was time for Suga to shine! That was so amazing, Suga-mama is way too unappriciated!

Poor Shouyou can't really get any points D: But I'm sure he'll show us all his glory in the third set :)

Next episode Tadashi will come in! Ahhh! I can't way to see my baby finally succeed!

Mad Dog may be hot-headed, but he is helping stack up the points. Holy shit.

We're also seeing a lot of smug Oikawa in this episode. My fave kind of Oikawa.

But next week, though. Yamaguchi's time to shine again!

Mad Dog is a fucking beast, he's just racking up point after point after point. He might not be the smartest player around, but he sure is giving Karasuno a run for their money. This was definitely one of the most intense episodes this season. Hopefully Yamaguchi can come through in the clutch this time around.

Karasuno winning the 1st set due to Mad Dog getting the ball out.
Mad Dog is really intense and the power he puts behind every strike is amazing.
His cross strikes are really good. Although he does make mistakes.
Aoba Johsai doing a lot better in the 2nd set.
Yamaguchi getting ready to go in at the end. Time for him to shine in the next episode.
4 eps to go.

Amazing ep once again. How u even do this?!?!?! Anyway KITAAAAAAAA!!!
YAMAGUCHI'S TIME TO SHINE IS NIGH!!! THE HYPE!!!

Kyoken's awesome. He's definitely less of an asshole than they made u think. A double edged sword is the perfect description for him. The animation on his serves and spikes is f***n insane tho. Dat crazy cross and the serve he did in the later half were just so coool!!

Lol at how he replies to Iwa and not Oikawa. He and Oikawa pretty much didn't even talk throughout the whole ep ^^;

Oikawa's creepy faces are creepy af! Man he does a lot of them XD

The Double setter with Suga and Kageyama part was friggin amazing! I was smiling throughout And Hinata getting jelly at Kageyama spiking it neatly was lol

The tension I feel watching it is unbelievable, I envy the players on their level of concentration.


Awesome episode, looking forward for Yamagatchi's contribute.

Fantastic episode, Loved the match through and through.

Mad-Dog is literally a Mad Dog, The intensity of his hits are just insane.

Oikawa finally got his power serve in. The moment where he intimidated Kageyama, Epic XD

Kageyama actually spikes really well :o

Can't wait for the next episode :D

Haikyuu is making volleyball more interesting than real life. Yamaguchi is next. Hope he did it this time.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

So are there anyone else anticipating that Nishinoya could evolve into a full time libero instead of being half assed in the court? XD In times like this where the serve is the ultimate weapon, this is where liberos stands out and yet Nishinoya fails to show a typical overpowered liberos I hope we could see in this anime. OR is he still on its way to that level where no serves gets past him.

Literally so happy to see the Suga and Kags combination get animated, I literally shed a tear ;))
It was so refreshing to see Suga in an official game, I mean I might sound biased because I absolutely adore Suga but he deserves so much more spotlight as Karasuno's other setter but Kags is MC and also a genius so it was really cool to see him replace someone other than Kags.

Of course everyone loved Iwa-chan's bara arms amirite ;)))
Oikawa aka trash dad mastering his serve both stabbed my heart plus made me sing at the same time

Also NEXT EPISODE HYPE AF YAMAGUCHI

Sugawara's one of my favourite characters so it was so good to see him play, and then Kageyama's spike was just whoosh. Mad dog's lethal tho, but not as lethal or savage as Oikawa.

Aoba Johsai players were so cute especially Oikawa. Haha! Mad dog-chan's appearance nearly killed the hell out of me. The player's reactions and consequences were just so hilarious.. and scary at the same time, though. Anyway, sml for Suga-san!! The two setter strategy was so cool <3 I'm excited for the next ep. It's Yamaguchi's time to shine omg!
