Awesome season. Didn't surpass last season's final match for me, but it was still great. Loved the scene with Tsuki shook in the restroom.
Interesting thing to end on. I'm guessing the 4th season will be a ways away though
Going to start the manga soon. Hopefully the english release gets to at least this point soonish.

Yup! It's got some good tracks there, and the story is great. I think (imo) it's the only thing that sort of hits on the same beats that Haikyu!! does in terms of the value of working hard and scraping forward, and it also does the same nice job of characterizing all of the opponents
Please do! I shill for it a lot, but I really want it to do well especially since Viz is doing an accelerated monthly release schedule to catch up. Sports series are a pretty big risk in English and don't typically sell very well, so the support from people who love the series really counts in this case. Plus reading the manga is a fantastic experience as well, as I'm sure everyone else who is reading it can also attest to.
brehs. BREHS. I cried, like multiple times. That was amazing. Then they hype up Nekoma vs Fukurodai, man that'll be awesome af
Hinata always gotta have the last spike, I love it tho. Incredible ending, but yeah the episode ending was weird and didn't feel like the season was ending. Oh well, manga time.

If you want something similar to haikyu I greatly recommend Big windup!
the two anime feel very similar. I'm sure you would like it.
It's definitely lower budget so don't go into it expecting it to look as good as Haikyu!! does, but I wouldn't worry too much about it.

My favorite sports anime as well, though Haikyuu's a close second now.
The whiny protagonist may get on people's nerves though considering how long it takes for him to get his shit somewhat together.
I'm guessing it's a baseball anime from its cover. How does it hold up to Diamond No Ace?

Godlike, almost teared up with the scene with the 3 third years' happy tears. Can't wait for what's to come.
MVP: definitely Tsukishima.

Doubt it'll be soon. There's only been some s

Ōfuri isn't anything like Haikyu lol.
The main character is utterly insufferable (yes, Xia, he sucks, I'm sorry).
As far as stuff that just came out, Days! sucks but it's gay as hell so I like it. All Out!!! has been enjoyable, it's about Rugby and all the characters are jacked as all high hell. It's pretty okay.
I mean, most good sports anime is older stuff anyway, if you haven't, Watch Slam Dunk.

Fridays will never be the same for me. Literary jet home from work every Friday and watch the new episode of Hakyuu!!! This season was amazing, even at 10 episodes. Hopefully the wait is not too long for the next season.
My prediction is Spring 2018 for the next season if they decide to go two cour

That was a decent end to a good season which was better than I expected. I felt great for them when they won. But in the end beating Shirotorizawa was something they just needed to do. It still didn't have the emotional highs of beating Aoba Josai. The future match against Nekoma should be super amazing.
Haikyu continues to be really entertaining and well directed. I never thought i would care for a long sports shounen show like this but 3 seasons later and I'm still in love with it.

Guess I will read the manga. Will have the ost playing in the background for full immersion

I couldn't really have asked for anything more from this final episode, not going to spoil myself by reading the manga but I'm really looking forward to the next season. (whenever that happens)
You all should move on to the manga. The anime has now come really close to the manga and reached a good point to take a break, so I wouldn't expect a season 5 until 2018. It'd give a wide enough margin to avoid another situation like this one.
What world are we living in where reading the source material counts as a spoiler?

I think people in the West associate color drawings as comic books and B&W drawings as newspaper comics.
I know some friends who are daijobu with anime, but manga is ecchi
It's not spoiler, it's just manga is not for everyone
That tease was so fucking random. I am going to be upset if they skip the Nekoma vs Fukurodani match.
Maybe it'll be an OAD or OVA between seasons?

Opinions I guess, since imo Big windup! Is one the best sports anime.
But out of all the sports anime out there, that I watched at least, they feel the most similar. The way the team interact, the relationship between the two mains and how Abe/Kageyama is vital at the start for Mihashi/Hinata's talent to actually be noticed at first.
Yea they are super similar.
I would be cool with that.

There are simply some shows where I've gotten to know them through watching their anime versions and reading the manga then would take away some of the enjoyment from watching new episodes each week because I know what's going to happen already.
It's hardly a new thing, or did you miss out on the whole ongoing Game of Thrones books vs. Game of Thrones tv series affair?
I think that the first half was excellent in terms of wrapping up the match and doing justice to the manga. I think that the second leg of the episode could have been structured a little bit better, I would have put in
and taken out Kageyama getting invited to the training camp to replace with the Fukorodani/Nekoma tease after the credits
Ushiwaka's wrap up speech to Shiratorizawa
Yeah. Shiratorizawa wAs fine and all but you just can't beat best character Oikawa as an antagonist. That match was the highlight for me. More so than this one

Yeah, Shiratorizawa was never going to be as exciting a match simply because they were barely set up as rivals before this season, compared to Aoba Johsai who were set up for two seasons before Karasuno won against them. Particularly since Karasuno lost to them at the end of the first season, the end of the second season was extremely cathartic. Still, I was impressed by how well the anime team continues to handle the adaptation.

Could the training camp possible mean that Kageyama will join another team? It'd kinda be cool to seem him go, and then that forces Hinata and the rest of the team to get better.
