| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Tsubakihara is no joke. I think their roster has some reallyg good players in particular with strong serving skills. Hinata should be more careful when he goes on the defensive. It felt like he would get sent to a hospital with some of the plays lmao Pretty interesting match though. Also loved the tense music in the second half of the episode with the score being close between the two teams. |
 |
| They caught up, but opponent team doesn't give up. lol @ main guy trying to catch the ball but ended up not using hands. Showing nervous servers by both teams. Surprising serve, but main team overcame it immediately. Miyu-Miyu's character finally. Showing 3rd years' feelings. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| 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 |
 |
| It was a nice match, even if the outcome was fairly obvious Hinata is progressing at a really nice rate, but I'm still waiting for the jump. |
| Man that match was just amazing! Its nice to see all the 3rd years giving their all in this match but Suga at the end stole the show for me,im soo happy to see him play ! |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| at first the match didn't really have that hype that previous matches did, but that last bout really helped make up for that |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I'm excited for future match after watching this episode, hope they make second cour high quality level and that scene of Atsumu saying who the hell is he though lol. |

| that was everything....so sad that only two episodes left |
 |
| This episode was so good. Karasuno won their first match of the national. I'm happy for them. Sugawara stole the episode for me, even though he was there for a short time. That last score by Asahi was mad. Nice kill! |
 |
| Sugawara, man. I love him so much. Also, I laughed so hard when he imitated Tsukki, what a dork. Also laughed when both Kageyama and Hinata missed their serves and the other's reaction, lol Karasuno won their first match at nationals with two sets out of three!! The next episode is gonna be really good as well, I bet! |
| This match wasn't that hyped but this was beautiful. Specially how the third years were working so hard. The outcome was obvious but nice they won their first match. |
 |
| Fantastic ep. It was much better directed than the last one. |
 |
| Hype ending, but let's be honest, there was approximately a 0.000001% chance of Karasuno not advancing here. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| My boys get the W! LETS GO BABY! Man this episode got my hyped AF! On to the next one! |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Spring 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Wooow, that last scene was intense! Both teams are so amazing that it's always tense waiting to see who takes the set... but Karasuno is crushing them right now! Go, boys, go! I just realized that after the nationals (whether they win or lose), things are never going to be the same for our boys; they've had national exposure now and they won't just be playing the small courts anymore. Everyone's going to know who they are. |
 |
| Very good episode, the game was really interesting and I'm glad they didn't end it on a cliffhanger. The emphasis on third years was pretty awesome too. They've grown so much! |
  |
| I loved it, was a pretty good episode, the match was ejecuted fast but impressive! It was great to see Hinata trying to adjust his new habilities but maybe it'll take a little more time. Though the preview images made me feel too much excited! I can't wait to see whats going on next. I just enjoy a lot Haikyuu experience--- |
-¡Give yourself to me! |
| I'd be lying if I said I didn't find the animation a little lacking compared to previous seasons, but when all's said and done, I was just as excited at the end of this match as I was at the end of most matches in earlier seasons. And that feeling is what I'm here for. So in that metric, season is good by me. |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
Paak said: manga reader here and budget is never a problem, it's timing and ig studio are doing other anime too potentially could be aot as well this year and they are spending more time on second cour since it deserves best treatment unlike this cour.Finally they are using their budget. Great episode overall,I hope they keep up this level of animation till the end but I know it's not gonna happen. |
| waiting a week for this was so worth it. I really hope Azumane will one day execute a spike which deforms the ball as much as Ushikawa's spike or oikawa's serve. |
| Classic Hinata, taking balls to the face. Classic Noya, confident and positive all the time. Classic Tanaka, intense af. Classic Asahi, the ace. Classic Kags and Tsukishima with their mindmeld. And of course little shit Suga... I don't know about others, but I'm having way too much fun watching this season, just like I had with the previous ones. And pretty consistently too, week after week. So many years later, it's damn incredible. Idk how to feel about those who only seem to be able to focus on animation and just complain about it week after week. Maybe you've outgrown anime or at least this series? |
| Poor Hinata XD At least he made a good shield despite the pain I felt while seeing him getting hit twice with his body, even if he got more from previous episodes. Even Yamaguchi and the one next to him (forgot his name) felt it!! I don't know if it's just me, but the animation felt off at 18:16 to 18:20. The direction of impact from the ball didn't feel right... and also the spin Sugawara did preparing to serve left me in doubt. The tension is hype which is great! Nice episode! |

| This was a really good episode, loved the intensity and emotions of the players and the match, added with some funny moments |
zohruii said: the next match can't get cover at all in just 2 episodes it will happen in second cour and this match wasn't that long in genral but I guess they did cut some scenes.Is it me or is the episode on 1.25x speed? It just seems faster than usual to me, as if they want to cram the remaining match in this episode. |

| Holy shit, this animation, wtf??? eyegasm all the way. Such a thrilling match, loving it. |
| Good old Haikyuu, this was amazing :') |
| Even if the outcomes are predictable or expected, it's the process of getting there that I love watching when I watch this anime. It's fun to see the kinds of skills and strategies that Karasuno uses in order to propel their way to victory. The momentum from this match will be great for them going forward. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Awesome episode, as usual. Although, fun trivia, that last quote, "Opportunity come to those who are prepared" Which in Japanese is, "チャンスは準備された心に降り立つ" is from Louis Pasteur, famous French microbiologist, who is quoted saying "Chance favors the prepared minds" I guess translator changed it to a more liberal translation since it doesn't translate well into the context. |
| First round's over, and now they can look towards the next one. I was wondering whetehr or not we'd see the older seniors; I'm glad we did. |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| haikyuu greatness! this episode was really good. lots of great animation as well. |
| Obviously the outcome was obvious, but man that underhanded serve looked really cool. Overall, very very solid episode. Even though the art looks stiff at times, the animation was on point this episode in particular. Pretty good match against a pretty irrelevant team despite it being Nationals. |
| LOL just how many times Hinata has been hit by the ball during this season? xD Excellent episode. Those last few minutes during the last point gave me the absolute chills. Glad to see the studio can still handle those intense moments with the same perfect care. |
lezerman said: It was a nice match, even if the outcome was fairly obvious Hinata is progressing at a really nice rate, but I'm still waiting for the jump. My thoughts exactly. Hinata's growth this season has been great! But each episode I'm like, JUMP BOI. |
