Even though we all knew they were gonna win, I'm just glad the tournament feeling and atmosphere is back within the series again! (if that makes any sense lol) Personally, I haven't caught up with the manga yet, so I'm still ridden with a bit of nerves every time they play against another team, but that's why I love watching this series so much! I can't wait to see the rest of the tournament progress, but it is sad that we'll have to wait a couple months for the end of the season after these last couple episodes release!

also Atsumu's self interaction with Hinata at the beginning was one of the best parts in the episode lol!

Awesome episode, you can bet I was cheering the whole time.

It's awesome seeing Hinata react after reading the situation instead of just based on instinct. The best type of play is when you strike the balance between instinct and reading the situation.

The shot of Karasuno when the opposing pinch server realized the weight of the nationals was just too awesome.

Damn, I teared up at the end when there was that shot of the current third years when they just joined the club compared to how they are now. The match point was great.
So much heart in this show, I love it. <3

Same here, i loved this episode and teared up a little

wow what an intense episode...I can't wipe the grin off my face when I see Karasuno hitting the ball...this episode doesn't only focus on Hinata or Kageyama but of the whole team, their dreams, their goals, their ambition.
this is very moving can't help but re-watch it again!

This was probably the best episode so far, it’s proof that the characters are really what make the show. The underhand serve was so cool and it gave me a sense of excitement I felt when seeing previous seasons.

The underhand serve though xD but it's cool in the second time around

I loved this episode, I loved Suga and all the third year boys, bringing out their strenght and goals, as well as Hinata and Kageyama doing their super speed shots - -
I'm still not used to the new artstyle but the OST rocks as it has always rocked, the feels are there as they always were and that reminds me why I love Haikyuu. โค๏ธ

In the next episode I bet Hinata will have his eyes shining for that guy all the time

I agree with you! I felt this episode was the real first dynamic one, the action started here. I'm hoping the next one and the next half of the season will follow this vibe as well ๐Ÿ’ฅโค๏ธ

my boys back at it again. with kageyama fully used to the environment, now they can finally get some work done >:)

awww their upperclassmen came to cheer them on UWU im soft ^~^
it's cool to see how much karasuno has changed from the upperclassmen's pov
daichi, tanaka, asahi, suga became so skilled and you can tell the alumni are proud T^T

oooh tsuki putting in THE WORK blocking and setting :')
hinata actually reading plays and predicting where the ball will end up and utilizing his newly honed skills *proud mom feelings* USE YOUR HANDS THO LOL

it's cool that this anime isn't only focusing on karasuno. you get plenty of moments and dialogue from the opposing team, which fleshes them out and makes them more than an opponent or a rung in the bracket.

it's ok kinoshita. you'll get it next time

OH NOOOO i feel so bad for himekawa skjflsklsjd he was so nervous skdjfksjf it was match point slkdjfksd he HIT HIS TEAMMATE SJGKSFKDJFKJ im sorry for laughing himekawa but omfg that sucks lmao
it's good that he redeemed himself later
karasuno is just too intense and skilled for that to work on them for too long tho

SUGAWARAAAAAA YESSSSSS i missed ya buddy 8^8
that last volley was amazing! ofc asahi with the final blow and karasuno for the win but that was a good game!
I'm so proud of them and happy!! first match won and onto the next!!
their alumnus must be so proud. every time it flashes back to 'if you have a chance, grasp it' moment, i feel so proud of the third years TTT^TTT karasuno best boys <3

Say what you will about the art style this season. Its definitely an improvement.
But the animation. Yikes. That scene of Kageyama running literally looked 15fps. The cuts in the games seem off this season as well.

Oh wow, I thought we would have a third set for the final two episodes. Really enjoyed the strong moments in this match, but somehow it doesn't feel as exciting as the other seasons. Don't know why.

I feel for that kid who failed that underhand serve, not only did he hit his teammate in the back of his head, that move is very simple and easy to pull off too and he cost his team a set lol. Anyway, Karasuno won two consecutive sets, and this is the Nationals, that was really impressive!

Glad to see Hinata improving as well. I guess they will save him doing sick jumps for later matches though.
Also, I'm glad we got at least a bit more longer rounds. Those can be cool too, not just quick spikes and like a block.
I kinda feel bad for those guys, but the outcome was obvious.

Are Head is In the Game People! They did a great job at showing this new team, get a feel for their characters, sympathize with them, and still justify our team being able to beat them. That newbie with the underhand serves on the opposing team was pretty promising. I wonder if this show will go on to Hinata and Kageyama's second year and we can see former opponents like these again.

Man, Hinata improving while on a match?!?! Dude that's insane right there and the save's we're pretty much painful and I'm glad he didn't got to an extent getting hurt.
And I feel bad on those pinch servers haha, atleast they get to stole the show once in a while.
And Sugawara is the funniest and cutest man in the show and great performance towards the end.

amazing episode. just the preliminaries but such a great match alr!!

tsubakihara was great to watch, they are an amazing team too. that pinch server!!!!!! LOL x)

that was a proud moment when the commentators were talking about hinata. damn it really felt like your son has grown up & come a long way LOL happy tears!!!!!

loved the bit with the year3s and their previous seniors with all those flashbacks & in awe of them, tanaka too. that was a nice touch :')

great development & match all in one episode - everything haikyuu is about! LOVED IT

Both teams try to win but Sugawara honestly stole the episode for me. I like how the third years were working so hard.

Now that we're in the actual nationals I think most of the energy has returned. We're in an actual game now, and the high-tempo haikyuu is back. Wonder if they'll finish the next game in the remaining two episodes of this first part of the season.

And the first match is over. They were somewhat good but honestly they wouldn't have stood a chance against Shiratorizawa OR Aoba Josai either. Speaking of the latter, I really wish we still got to see them, I miss Oikawa and his serve so much!!

Now, who's going to be the second team! From the preview, it seems like that kid is making a move, but against who?
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

the OST that played right when sugawara started his play, man that was one of the best of haikyuu.

karasuno surely showed their qualities in this match. you can really feel how their polished skills got them this match. how every character skills played to bring this win.
this is the best haikyuu ever gave. and probably its finest season.
all my complains about the different direction style disappeared totally in this episode, i actually felt the episode much more alive and free with this direction.

also loving how hinata is reaping his training fruits. i can't wait though till he will try that unsuccessful jump earlier this season.

so next episode they gonna start new match? how is that gonna work when we have only 2 episodes for this part?
not that i mind it though, i'm a binge watcher. lol. but still, is this part going to end in cliffhanger?

everyones story, especially the 3rd year was converging, but the lack of emotional impact from a random team made this game bleh

they could have done something else for the team to grow during this game
