Pacing was perfect, I never got bored the entire season. Considering all the whiny doomsaying and 'Namek' meme bullshit that preceded it, it was a true success in making a bunch of shitlords drink their own tears.

Next season is going to rock that ass, too. Cats vs Owls, the time has come.

How is that butthurt, That is just straight up facts.
They wanked Ushijima off every episode and it gotten boring.

At least in Aoba they had multiple talented players across the board that could be enjoyed and viewed.

>>151574958
I liked it a lot I feel that haikyuu's ace wasnt used enough. I feel like we should have of gotten a flash back for the new ace on the other team. He seemed interesting.

The OST is still so fucking good

loved it. Haikyuu is great as usual.

The last two episodes could've been combined into one (gor a little tired of the match towards the ending) but other than that I enjoyed it a lot.

im sad that ukai jr's voice actor died

the new guy kinda sucks. They should've gotten Takagi Wataru or something.

>>151576502
This was such an epic scene

Is Omnivorous the best OST?

I thought it was pretty good for what it was. Dedicating 10 episodes to one match is pretty ballsy, I would have liked if they didn't drag it out for so long.

Also I didn't like Shiratorizawa as much as I liked Seijou, but I'm sure that might have been impossible no matter what they did since Oikawa was just too great of a character.

It was nice seeing Tsukki really being the main man instead of Hinata or Kageyama. He had some godly character development and it was awesome seeing him actually learn to enjoy the match.

The final episode with the imagery of Ushijima holding everyone down was awesome too. Really hype.

Shiratori is just boring. Even Dateko's arc is better than Shiratorizawa's.

I think Shiratorizawa is my least favorite rival team. Even their backstories didn't make them likable. It's just insane so much time was spent on Shiratorizawa compared to other rival teams. At least they lost and we never have to see them again.

And it's great that both owl and cats are at nationals.

>>151579328
True. But, I like Ujishima as a character in his flashback.
He's cool and good guy.

>>151579485
For being the character the team revolved around he was an awful character.

He was hyped up as final boss material only to get defeated fairly early on and even then he was more hyped as Oikawa/Seijou's rival than anything else. He had zero personality and no flaws. He was just an overpowered obstacle.

Shiratorizawa team is really gonna feel the loss now that he's graduated and they relied so much on him so heavily.

I might be the only one in this thread that doesn't even like Seijou that much. I liked the Shiratorizawa characters more than Seijou. I really only like Oikawa on Seijou. Shiratorizawa doesn't feel like a team, which makes them hard to like.

Your swollen ham hands wouldn't be fit to touch a ball.

It was great, but the final match in S2 was better. There was so much more build up to it so you felt far more invested when Karasuno actually won. While Shiratorizawa was a more powerful antagonist, we barely knew anything about them prior to the match outside of "they are very good". Still a great season, though.

>>151584077

I'm torn between that one and Fly High as being the best OP. They're both fantastic.

So what exactly are the chances for a season four? It'll happen right?

The other school was just so fucking boring and filled with meh and unlikable characters. Ushijima was just bland as fuck.

>>151585938
As long as the producers/author dont decide they hate money, it will happen. We just need more source material at this point

>>151585938
They set up for more but it all depends on how well it sells.

It probably won't happen for a long time though since the manga just got started on nationals and who knows how long that will take.

It was pretty good. I liked the themes of it and how it really tried to shove it in your face. Plus the intro was hype and character growth was decent.

>>151585938
There's like no content left for a fourth season. We'll probably not get one till late 2018.

Nope, I play 4~ hours a week at the local rec center now because of it. It's so much fucking fun

>>151587058
I agree there won't be another season for at least a couple years but I think there is enough content for half a season judging by how the anime usually paces chapters.

1-2 episodes
>Nekoma vs Nohebi
2-3 episodes

>>151587307
That's true but I feel like having a bunch of training camps and practice matches right after a big finale is kind of a meh way of doing it. I'd prefer to see Season 4 have all of those matches and then transition into the whatever the author has planned for the next big tournament.

speak for yourself, I thought this shit was cool and was a great representation of the teams.

>>151587570
This is my biggest problem with the anime adaption. Sure it was in the manga on cover pages and such, but I don't remember it during every spike or cliffhanger.

>>151587697
Training camps is a good warm up for Nationals especially since it sets up some future opponents. It worked in s1 and s2, so s4 would just returning to the old formula.

>>151587570
Best scene was when Ushi was holding down the karasuno boys' heads with the really erratic animation.
Anyone have a WebM of that?

>>151574958
I enjoyed it but I liked the other seasons more. The fact that it was purely focused on one game, you already knew it was just going to be a back and forth until the last episode where Karasuno makes a decisive play. The journey was fun, but I wish there was more to it.

Tsukishima getting hype was the highlight for me.

>>151588050
That imagery got me hyped as fuck. And then having Daichi, Asahi, and Tanaka come to save them pretty much had me cheering out loud.

Tendou was the only interesting character on Shiratorizawa. He was probably made extra expressive to balance out Ushijima's wet cardboard personality. I can't wait for Goshiki to replace Ushi as the teams next ace.

It'll be interesting if the series goes on into the next year for Karasuno. I wonder if Shiratorizawa will face the same pains Dateko did once their third-years graduated.

>>151589818
This brings up a dilemma I've been having with myself as the Nationals have begun in the manga. Would you rather the series continue with Karasuno coming up short and following the team through the next season, or end after Nationals?

>>151589818
They won't be as overpowered as they were with Ushijima but I'm sure they'll do fine since the coach is so selective about members. Goshiki got overshadowed by Ushijima but he's already better than most boys his age.

Plus it will be interesting to see how Shirabu evolve.

>>151590030
Hard call. On the one hand I don't think Karasuno should win it all after so long of being a nothing team, but on the other it's hard to imagine watching another year of Karasuno knowing Daichi, Suga, and Asahi won't be there, and it's just as hard to accept that Daichi, Suga, and Asahi would have fought so hard to get to Nationals and not be able to walk away having won it. I have no easy answer about this quandary.

Overall still better than most anime, with good animation and didn't Namek as hard as the manga made it seem, though I think it made Shiratorizawa even less likable than I felt in the manga, with the exception of Goshiki. Characterizaiton definitely fell flat this season. Animation also wasn't as jaw dropping as say, the last scene of the second season. Next season should be more toss up of fun stuff so hopefully I.G. cares enough about this franchise in two years to give it the same production treatment.

>>151590030
The manga is kinda already set up for additional years. His focus on Kindaichi, Kunimi, Koganegawa, Goshiki, and Hyakuzawa proved as much.

I wish it would just end at Nationals though because I don't even want to imagine how much of a mess Karasuno will be without the 3rd years as anchors.

>>151586988
Wish I could but the local league is for women and my fucked up shoulders probably wouldn't allow me to spike much anyway. /blog

>>151574958
Not nearly as good as S2. Only hype episodes were about Tsukishima. Finale was rushed and left out a key scene from the manga. Also left off on an awkward note.

What a jerk
But this scene though

>>151590397
I was surprised they put the training camp invite so soon. It didn't even feel that long ago in the manga. Gotta get that cheap drama cliffhanger I guess.

They should stop after 1st season.

>>151590297
But imagine the kouhais for Hinata, Yachi training new managers like Shimizu is doing right now, more development for all the great people from the other schools.

The only problem is that after this nationals run Karasuno will win every single match up to the nationals qualifier on the 2nd and 3rd years, and trying to make the other schools and their players development feel meaningful while all they do is lose time and time again will be kinda sad(for them at least)

>We will not lose to you next time Hinata/Kageyama!!
>All 3 years later they never win once in tournaments, because we're the protagonists and this prefecture/region only sends 1 representative in a single elimination tournament.

What happened? Zenkoku seriousness? People shipping players/fangirling over Kuroo/Owl guy?

>>151590662
Karasuno will have to get some really interesting new 1st years to make it worthwhile. I feel like Karasuno already fought and won it's uphill battle and I don't want to see the current members get the same recycled or prolonged character arcs.

Of the current 1st and 2nd years Hinata and Yamaguchi still have a way to go and Tanaka needs to fill in the ace role. Noya and Kageyama have already reached their peak. Tsukki still has room to grow but he already had his big revelation moment. Ennoshita is already Daichi lite.

>>151590868
The anime/manga shifted from a lighthearted and inspirational sports into more intense and hype showboat.

The threads became less active with each progressive season but even that didn't keep the cancerous husbando and waifufags away. At least the "Oikawa is a slut" poster seems to have fucked off for good.

>>151591086
Well can't be inspirational if they never win anything, but I can see why... But I haven't seen any husbando/waifu fags these past weeks tho, or maybe I'm blind.

>>151591214
I'm glad Karasuno is doing so well and it definitely makes sense that they improve over time. But there has still been nothing in haikyuu has made me feel as strongly as Karasuno losing against Seijou at the end of s1. Especially since it was more realistic for a newly formed team trying to rise from underdog status.

Something about them despairing, getting frustrated, and then dusting themselves off to try again was more inspirational than defeating Shiratorizawa. Though that's just my own preference.

>>151574958
Awesome as fuck

Its wacky but I was getting some parallels between Tsukki and Kumiko from Hibike! Euponium

Tsukki makes that block on Oikawa, later gets his hand fucked up, gets really frustrated about not being good enough, then comes back like a boss. It's him discovering his passion, just like Kumiko's umakunaritai/bridge scene. Pretty cool stuff

It may play out that this year is all about the game vs Nekoma, then next is actually winning nationals. To me the most interesting thing is that it's been slightly implied that players come into their own right around their 2nd year. The Little Giant became goat in his second year, Sakusa and Komori are both the best players in their position and they're only in their second year, Bokuto hit a wall and started to improve himself in his second year. So we'll see

Karsuno will win "Battle for the Garbage Dump" for the first time and third years will graduate as bronze medalists.

The last few episodes really pulled the entire season together. The previous opposing teams were a little more interesting, although they do a good job of always making you empathize for the other team even in this season.
