Lol this episode is priceless. Hinata and Kageyama studying is just too funny to watch. Glad to see their friends cheering up.

Happy to see Saeko making an appearance as well :D

So I guess this OVA is the extension of the ep. where they try to pass the retake before the practice.

Main two have to get extra study after getting a bad score before going to volleyball practice in Tokyo. They tried to persuade the principle for permission to go to training rather than extra study, and that wig again (with pun of Switching the schedule a bit and wig)... That's why the captain is mad. Either keep testing or just passing at first retest to catch up with the volleyball practice. Except 3rd year and megane guy, everyone's helping out with the study.

Delinquent looking guy tried many times until getting his sister agree to help them out with driving. Megane guy's provoke works as always. The principle heard how big was the practice while HiroC's character came to apologize for wig accident. They finally passed (but actually was a bit below 90... can see the teacher led them go because of how they tried hard). Showing a bit of the practice before the two caught up.

is it just me or Tsukki's personality was over exaggerated? I know he loves mocking kageyama and hinata but it looked forced to me. All that came out of his mouth was just insults and that made me cringe, even tho he's one of my fav character. But I can forgive it cuz it's just an OVA

His smugness did seem a bit exaggerated than usual. Then again, like you said, it's an OVA so it doesn't really matter. It's also before the beginning of his character development, storywise, so I didn't mind.

The principal was the big star of this episode with his two epic scenes, the wig falling and that ending with "To Falcon".

Great episode :D

The wig flying was priceless, The soundtrack they played XD

Really liked how Tsuki motivated the two
Was grinning throughout the part where Hinata and Kageyama were working hard to pass their exam.

Now I'm even more hyped for S3.

Well of course it was over exaggerated this time around because Tsukishima was trying to motivate Hinata and Kageyama to not give up in his own way, which why Yamaguchi said "that's Tsukki for you" because he realize his intentions.

This isn't in the manga so yeah, consider this bonus material that takes place right before the Tokyo camp arc :)

Excellent episode altogether.

The art, especially when it came to crafting comedy, was superb. They really did a good use of time in this one, used every second to shape their intent. Plus, those special gems (in comparison to the actual series - the Tanaka/Saeko "hidden gem", the Principal/Falcon Affair...) really took it to another level.

Their sense of composition really shone in this one (study sessions, collective comical gags), to the point where the picture was always brimming with energy, emotion and the heat of human connections.

Great stuff. A real treat for the fans. Kudos!

P.S. That whole comedy routine involving the Principal really should have been in the anime. Such a shame...The tempo of it is fantastic. The reveal, with the wig falling on top of Daichi's head, was the perfect punchline. The tempo and the duration of it really made it feel like I was watching a live-action sketch being performed. So good!

Hilarious extension of the test episode from the anime.
Can't beat some additional wig scenes...I think this made me laugh more than the original wig moment from season 1. Dat dramatic music and slow mo XD

Also, I see your game Tsukki.
Fires them up with some verbal abuse whilst casually letting it drop where they can find the answers to the questions. He cares in his own special little sadistic way lol

Added scenes with Tanaka and Saeko were great as well, their relationship is really endearing and honestly they remind me of some sorta Yakuza kids. I swear to god the reason Saeko's running the house is because their family is in the mafia.
