The truthWeekly reminder Tsuki is a little bitch
Maybe he'll be less of a cunt after he "develops". Great episode though, the team trying to get better gets me excited for future games, should be even more exciting.

Stop. Tsukki is the most vital member of the team. Have you ignored all his blocks in the tourney. He and Hina are best MB.

I can't imagine Tsukki not being a shit so it'll be interesting to see how they're going to make him care without it feeling weird.
They handle Tsukki's flashback ending in pretty cool way, its like perfect anti-climax in almost comedic way with zoom out from frame and Tsukki oneliner, they really hammer that message "how fucking lame" that Tsukki feeling more just overdramatic scene, he really feel embarrassed by his bro than anything else.

^____^ they are all adorable though... aaaaah i wanna see oikawa v ushiwaka told

ah well! KARASUNO! FIGHT!!! ^_____^
Finally caught up on episode 6-8. I really love the character work in this show. I've been thinking for a long time now that Tsukishima could be an interesting character if they spent a bit more time on him, especially given how Daichi has been practicing on his own too, and they joined the club at the same time as Hinata and Kageyama. While his backstory isn't really anything that special, the way it was presented felt really natural and I really like how in the end his personality wasn't really played out as a character flaw so much as just a quirk of how he expresses himself.
He might have baggage and insecurity, but those aren't really excuses for how he seems cold and distant at times, it's just how he is and he doesn't mean anything bad by it. Seeing how honest he can be with others and himself while maintaining that "cool' front really makes him that much more complex a character imo. It makes him feel more like a real person rather than just a character. I think it was really important to show that even before he saw his brother's failure, he was always this kinda quiet but "cool" guy who can seem annoying.
Also, the music is sooooooo fucking good. <3

I pray for the day we get a dream team game going on. Bokuto (WS), Kuroo (MB), Hinata (MB), and Tsukki (MB) would be a fantastic team.

I hate shows in which the protagonist(s) only win(s) but this show does the exact opposite, gets you real hungry for a win.No, all Karasuno does is lose
Probably.
At the very least we'll probably see that new quick. I hope they show the entire set, I need a legit game in my veins.

If the ball got past the blockers my team'd lose. Actually thats what I fear for Karasuno, none of the first years appear to be like nishinoya or daichi in terms of saves and filling the holes in defense.

Episode 9
BBQ! BBQ! BBQ! It's amusing how easily motivated they are.
This has been one pretty long training arc, but like with all things Haikyu, it's really satisfying to watch, and when it starts to come together you really feel that sense of achievement the team is feeling. What a great show.

Goddamn. What a match. Even though it's just a practice match, it was so exciting it just flew by. Great to see all the individual things they've been trying at finally working together. They ended the episode at the worst possible moment though. I was all pumped up to see the end of the match and BAM... credits. Lol.

Best sports anime. The animation is perfect, the characters are all really well done and developed, the actual sports parts are fun and aren't a shounen fight manga with balls.
5 episodes behind on S2, need to catch up ASAP.
From some tertiary reading, Tsuki isn't a little whinging bitch anymore? I can't see that.

Oh he is. But that's just who he is.
They present more context to show what sort of person he is behind how he presents himself though, without excusing his bad habits. It was good stuff.

Great episode, could have used more Tsukki really, but otherwise awesome, Dump Shot and Feint were my favorite moments, I always love those types of things more than the oddball quick.
Kenma was so happy for Hinata, then when it cut away to Kenma arguing with Kuroo about how excited he was looking, best minor moment. Ill miss Nekoma.

haha i liked that too, when kenma and kuroo were going "you so do" "i do not" "you do though" etc

Amen to that. This training arc went much longer than anticipated (though still quite good).
Ready for some hype shit.

Ah nice to see they set a lot of stuff up(the top 3 players) and the end of the episode did some more setting up. Hoping that it's non-stop official matches from now on, should be good.
Also, probably a new OP next week.

Episode 11
Not quite as outstanding as the last few episodes, but still a good one. It's nice to see the training arc wind down, and one thing I appreciate about the show is how it doesn't give the "hero" team cheap easy wins just for the sake of feeling good about themselves. They could easily have won the final game just to create a feeling of them "succeeding" after all that hard work, but it feels much more realistic for them to still not be strong enough compared to more experienced teams. The feeling of progress even in defeat is something I really like about this series. The end of the first season was very much the same way. It just means that when they eventually do get good enough to start winning significant matches, it will be that much more satisfying.
