Nishinoya's reasons for changing schools made me LOL hard. The latest episode felt a little slow but I liked it for its humor. Hinata is also one of those guys I find quite interesting for he might seem short and small but can talk big with a huge dream.

Anyways, I'll look forward to what his team has to offer.

spoiler[Introducing new character] this time.
He kinda reminds me of spoiler[Hinata, just more girl oriented.
Also, he's a pretty good player.
I like him. His personality is very similar to Hinata's.]

The info about the previous spoiler[ace] was interesting, but kinda unclear.
Looks like we'll get to see another spoiler[practice match].
That should be fun ^^
Their team is starting to look more complete after each episode.

Episode 9:

Never underestimate the spoiler[ace] of a team tbh. What an episode of tough love, teamwork, and sportsmanship. This show continues to deliver excellence.

spoiler[New coach, new players, new preparations.]
This should be interesting ^^
It was fun watching them play.
They really enjoyed themselves too.
If things continue like this, they have good chances against Nekoma.
Great episode!

Well that was an emotionally charged episode. Its looks like spoiler[Asahi's] back in business and the team looks extremely strong especially with Nishinoya's spoiler[increasing skills as a Libero].

Episode 9

How spoiler[long was that ball in the air]? Not that I am complaining, despite how dramatic it was, it was a very good watch.

I don't care ifspoiler[ that ball was in the air for half an hour], that was beautiful. I was this close to breaking into cheers and clapping in my dorm's living room, which would've been embarrassing as hell. Like, shit, this episode was gold. Easily one of, if not the best of the series so far

One of the best things about this is the endless kaleidoscope of expressions on people's faces in reaction to everything, especially in the backgrounds. Sensei's delight at Ukai's astonishment was charming, as is Hinata bouncing off the walls while hiding behind everyone. Makes me laugh, warms my heart, all that good stuff. I really hope this gets the dub it deserves (and defies the curse of sports anime).

And the eyecatches! I love the one where they turn the camera away from the server. Laughing

Episode 10:

For a "shrimpy" kid, Hinata sure can deliver some effective spikes. Another nice episode even with the built-up. That last scene captured the essence of teamwork pretty well when they came together in one big union.

Team practice match was really enjoyable.
Everyone showed off their best side.
spoiler[Hinata was totally enchanted by the current ace.
His admiration for Little Giant makes him push his limits.
It also made him daydream a bit too much.. ^^"
Kageyama totally put him in his place.
He's amazing at making Hinata get a grip.
Those two are the perfect duo.]

Great episode!

Watching those buddies is great, turning the yelling at him to be for him to have more confidence.
