Thanks! Will do.
You can go back and reread the manga from the beginning if you want. You'll get a pretty good picture from that. Or just the more recent matches (Seijo and Shiratorizawa), which is more representative of how the manga looks now.
One thing I couldn't get out of my head for days was the crowd chanting:
"Nice Kill Ushijima."
"Ushijima! Ushijima!"
That match is probably in my top 5 of most intense anime moments ever.
I also loved how they cared to show the background and emotions of other teams.
One thing I'm very curios about is how things will proceed. Shiratorizawa was hyped up to be the final boss for so long. How are the remaining teams compared to them? Even stronger? Nekoma never really felt like a threat on the same level as Shiratorizawa.
Damnit I need to start reading this asap.
Well, one thing to think about is the fact that Shiratorizawa is the strongest team in Miyagi. Japan is a lot bigger. Of course Ushiwaka is top 3 of the country, but as Iwaizumi likes to say; a team is about all six players. Now, I wouldn't say Ushijima is the only strong player in Shiratorizawa, far from it, but they never really take advantage of that fact. In a pinch? Set to Ushiwaka. That's it. Even without a top 3 ace there's alot you can do if you actually use everyone, just look at Karasuno.
That said, seems like you're going to be reading the manga, so you'll see. Keep posting, I love reading ongoing impressions!
Part of the reason Shiratorizawa's so scary is that they're hard to relate to and like, aside from Tendou and Goshiki. They're like the final boss of a JRPG, more of an obstacle than an opponent. The entire team was based around Ushikawa.
The new tournament teams have been a lot more likable, so we'll probably go back to the normal Haikyuu style of relatability, teamwork, and skill. Which is a good thing, imo, having more teams like Shiratorizawa would get tiring.

The show is a carbon copy of the manga. I would read the manga though until we get the anime next year.
Warning we do openly talk about the recent chapter per week
feel free to post any thoughts you have while reading. not like we are going to spoil past chapters.
If I really get into it I will probably blast through them pretty quickly. This week is pretty busy but I might be able to sneak in some chapters before I go to sleep every now and then.
/edit: So I started reading some chapters last night and it definitely takes some time to get used to. It's a little difficult at first to figure out where the ball is moving because of how they are trying to convey the speed of it but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

I missed that you posted this, but this is actually a poster for Ennoshita's newest film!
It stars everyone on the poster, with cinematography by Akaashi, production design by Moniwa and music by Tendo.
Among Ennoshita's other works are:
Final Haikyu Quest
Haikyu Fighter: The Movie
Crow's Angels
*Whatever this says in Japanese*
Shimmer Tsukki
And then there's Nishinoya's directorial debut, The Silent Court
It's a thing Furudate does.

Very exciting but definitely something I wish was animated just so I could hear it and see it, hard to get that feeling when you cant hear it on manga pages.
Hinata was so funny this match especially after getting cheered up by Nishinoya's compliment, best 2nd year.

Whip me senpai
Just saw the finals of one of Brazil's volleyball championship and there was a point near the end that was an insane rally. Some of that shit (mainly the guy crossing over the net to send back the ball at the start) needs to happen in Haikyuu eventually.
There's a video here

The video is the best moments of the match. The part I talked about happens around 8m15.

Wait, that's legal?!?! The hell!??!?
If the ball goes "out" beyond the antenna, it's considered still on that team's play field.
Now tell me you don't want to see that shit on Haikyuu.
I can already hear the epic music.

That's an amazing rule. I only played competitively in elementary and high school, so I would have loved to have tried this once.
And man, I need to get back into Haikyuu the anime, just in case it ever happens. I bet the go to space just like Kuroko et al
no lies detected. Glad you switched to the manga real quick. The tokyo representative matches were glossed over in the anime. Still hoping for a quick OVA.
I figure they'll open the next season with the Tokyo matches. They are SO GOOD, it would be a tragedy if they skipped them. Nekoma v Nohebi is one of my favorite matches in the manga.

What if Furudate throws a curve ball and has them lose at this match, lol.
Miya Atsumu is best Inarizaki, Ill miss this match so much.
Nishinoya, needs to get it together.

Our saviour, tsukihina will save the day, just watch next chapter.
Twin development moment background was nice, Im hoping for a little bit more.

Stellar chapter.
Has anyone else noticed that the art feels darker since the start of this match? Like, the shading is heavier and there's a lot of accented darkness. It's been giving the whole game a really oppressive and heavy feel, which is, of course, fitting for who they're up against.
This game is gonna turn out to be something special, for sure.
Hyped as hell for Hinata's mega jump. I feel like that's gonna be the only appropriate answer for the Miya twins copying the God like quick.

Kindaichi and Kunimi got some panel time, yes....
Poor Akiteru
And as said last week, Tsukki delivered, hopefully we get more moments and get Hinata up there too, continually their the best on Karasunos.

Who was that random older man commenting though.

That was the coach from the All Japan training camp. He was only in like 2 chapters. Interesting to see him features again, I wonder what kind of role he'll play in this arc.
Another stellar chapter. Furudate's art has been ace this game.
Hinata and Tsuki with those high level plays.
Like Ukai said, it makes perfect sense for Tsukki to block the imitation-quick, he's the person who's had to deal with it the most, both in practice and seeing it in action from the sidelines.
There was also the foreshadowing of him playing a big role against Hoshiumi, during the first-year training camp at Shiratorizawa. He asked Hinata to train with him to practice blocking against someone who can "see the blocks". Which, looking at his comments in this chapter, seems like Hoshiumi is able to do.
