KajiKaji's character's team trying hard to fight against the opponent team.

The new comer is being nervous?

It seems like the main player of the opponent team (Kimura-san's character) is tennen?

They were able to advance to next match.

That next opponent has shady personality it seems. A member got affected.

I love Bokuto and Akaashi so much.

This isn't bad at all, but still pretty disappointing compared to the manga. Just too condensed, I suppose.
I'll see how next episode is but this will certainly be the first piece of Haikyuu!! content that I don't give a 9 or 10/10 to.

HEY HEY HEY!

It was great but also made me uneasy since Nekoma and Fukurōdani are two of my favorite teams. I didn't want to have to pick who I wanted to win.

Didn't like how rushed the Nekoma vs. Fukurodani match was. They were competing for a spot in the Nationals yet there barely was any tension.

That said, it's still Haikyuu!! and I tend to love everything this series releases but I wish this side story wasn't that condensed.

My little Kenma and Bokuto are back, I'm so happy! But I have to agree that the match felt a bit rushed. Nonetheless, this is still better than nothing.

On the other hand, Nekoma's second rival has quite a nasty technique to distract their opponent. I'm not really fond of that to be honest.(︶^︶)

Wahhhh I like Nekoma and Fukurodani, I root for them! I love them since the training arc, they help team Karasuno a lot! ❤️

Ehh??! Fukurodani win?! I love them too but Nekoma still have a chance to play at Nationals right?! I'm waited too long for Karasuno x Nekoma fight!

Nohebi is annoying! Why Nekoma is weak now? ;(

The director seems don't have none experience with action scenes. I doesn't felt any excitment while seen the spikes and defense like the others maches in all Haikyuu. I really expect the 4 season isn't like the Ova

That captain Daisho is showing such a good example for his teammates... How good would tease do? Nothing! It will break someone's spirit and creates pressure for a team so it will loose the game :/ not cool! And that look shows he's searching for a target to tease and bring someone down. Such a troublemaker and I'm already disliking a character. Good grief!

I can't believe Kenma stabbed Lev while saying he's not near Shoyo's level XD At least he gave strenght and it wasn't that bad in the end ;)

Great episode!

This was a bit underwhelming, had to pause and rewatch for a bit cause I missed how suddenly they started playing another team, lol.

I watched all the movies recently so it shouldn't feel so distant to me but the match was really mostly lost on me. Not much hype as with usual Karasuno matches.

It was good to see Haikyuu again though, still hyped for the new season.

I did not like this, 6/10.

It just felt rushed. You didn't even get into the meat of the first match before you're already playing the second one? And they're in some type of losers bracket? I thought if you lost you were out?

It felt like parts of two incomplete episodes glued together to make one. It lacked a good transition between them to make it flow better.

I thought Lev was a better player than that. He was pretty awful.

Maybe I don't like the "other" teams enough to watch an OVA about them without the Crows also involved. Or, maybe, if it was just produced better I would've liked it even without the Crows? Idk.

After the tension and stress over s3 this OVA feels rather pale when compared. But I'm happy to see two of my favs, Kuroo and Bokuto. Getting to know more of Bokuto is always good, he's always hilarious even when depressed.

But man, everyone's been getting injured lately, I hope Yaku's injury won't be serious.

I'm cheering for Nekomata to pass so all the sisters can cheer for their brothers in the nationals.

being a manga reader, I'm really disappointed how this match got handled.
this is supposed to be like seijoh vs karasuno.
they rushed a lot of stuff and the whole game wasn't nearly as entertaining as it was in the manga, no tense, no excitement whatsoever.

nonetheless watching it being animated is still better than nothing. but you can't squeeze 5 chapters in 3/4 of the episode.
I see, this is why the episode felt off to me. I was expecting something on the level of Touou vs Kaijou from KNB and I was severely disappointed.

HEY HEY HEY!! Bokuto and Fukurodani are back. And they have qualified for the Spring Nationals.

Honestly, Seijoh and Karasuno would have qualified fairly easily if they were in Tokyo. Shiratorizawa was a really big obstacle. Teams like Nekoma and Fukurodani pale in comparison.

Anyway, Nekoma is in some trouble now. Let's hope they win this match.

Nice first episode, but it definitely feels weird to not see someone from Karasuno, lol.

I like Nekoma's libero more after this episode, but please don't tell me they are already out!!

like as other non-karasuno matches, it's just not the same, and feeling more like a slide show rather than a serious match. specially after the third season tense and play level, the play here felt really low.

plus, i haven't even blink, and fukurodani already scored? i thought that nekomi are the one with the lead.

and then came nohebi, which just doesn't feel as volleyball team but bullies.

i loled though when the ball reached lev's sister xD

@Zeke-frost

I have a question

In this episode nekoma won against fukurodani, yet in season four fukurodani is still playing in the tournament. Shouldn’t they be disqualified because of this match ??
