Yeah, I really liked the sun v moon thing too. Was his brother just in the cheering section and not even on the team? That makes it even sadder.

He's part of the volleyball club (hence the jacket) but isn't good enough to make it onto the court as a regular or sub. It's like how in baseball a school may have hundreds of members but only some get to actually be in the dugout while the rest are in the stands cheering.

Oh man just binged watched the last 4 episodes. It was heartbreaking to watch Tsukki's brother reaction when he realized Tsukki was watching the game.

"Meat is god!" lol

Funny episode.

I just love the unique chemistry between Hinata and Kageyama. Glad to see all the guys practicing hard for their upcoming matches.

spoiler[The 3 week training camp was exhausting.
Hinata was feeling his shortcomings..
Kuroo and the others lifted Hinata's spirits.
Kageyama was dealing with his own training.
Looks like they're both off to a new level.
There's no motivation like good ol' barbecue with lots of meat ^^
Fun episode!]

Season 2, episode 10:

Koutarou is awesome, I just love the advice he gives and the energy he brings into the game.

Despite the amount of action, I think the background analysis and commentary made it a bit talky as well. The game was pretty tense from both sides imo. I love how the camera angles captures in par with facial expressions of the players in particular for each of the noticeable plays.

Hinata's spikes also feels more precise and I think that surprised some of his teammates. Glad to see him improve a bit. Hinata's chemistry with Kageyama is still kinda odd imo. The allusion of the "cogs" is also kinda neat.

spoiler[Karasuno vs Fukurodani!]
It's obvious that spoiler[Hinat & Kageyama improved their skills.
Karasuno's still no there yet as a synced team... but they're getting there.
Both teams were pretty equal in strength.
After Bokuto lost it things went downhill for Fukurodani..]

That guy was pretty funny ^^

Yeah, it is all starting to pay off, even if it is a bit shaky. Also Hinata has gotten good, he can even feint now.

Not really connected to the events of the episode, but there has been an odd theory going in my head for the series. It was mostly the thought that what we have seen of the Little giant, looks a little bit like their teacher. Although many other parts of him like his likely age and lack of knowledge of the game say otherwise. Perhaps they are related though. The theory does not really mean anything.

Episode 11

I love how this series can take a simple set-up episode and still have me glued to the screen the whole time. The Titan reference was hilarious, but kinda on point too.

I wonder what Bokuto's hair would look like in real life. :)

Season 2, episode 11:

Ace or not, I still enjoy watching Koutarou's personality on the playing field. That contagious little laugh lol

The score was close but I think the match showed some of the players' strengths and weaknesses. The BBQ party looked fun and delicious lol, even volleyball players need a break once in awhile. Nicely balanced episode, looking for more next time.

I love how it can make me enjoy every character so much. Like kind of losing sight that the team just lost because just enjoying Bokuto being a bit of a goofball and being happy for him. And really seeing all the characters interacting regardless of teams and into spectrum of personalities makes it more fun. Like how funny is it when you put Hinata and Bokuto together?

Or when Hinata felt he was getting double yelled at.

Fukurodani vs Karasuno continues..
spoiler[Shame they lost], but it was a good game.
Pretty evened out until the very end.
BBQ was amusing.
It was nice seeing different teams hang out.
spoiler[Spring tournament] is a new chance for Karasuno to prove themselves!

Episode 2.12

That team was kind of nice a call-back to Hinata's middle school team, except the players were taller and yanki-er.

I always enjoy outsiders looking in at the boys, and drawing completely wrong conclusions, both pro and con. I guess I like proof of the can't-judge-a-book adage. I'm also stupidly impressed by how they can draw characters less than 3 years apart in age, and yet capture the subtle differences so spot on (which is why I find the "she's 18 but looks 10" trope so ridiculous). Sugawara looks pretty much the same, but puberty really kicked in for Sawamura and Azumane. Very Happy

Let the spring tournament begin!
spoiler[Karasuno vs Ohgi Minami]!
Those guys were scary in behavior only.
Our team was on a whole different level then before.
So spoiler[one win and moving on to new opponents.]
