Ace of Diamond is still going on and is going to continue until March 2015.

I don't think they've announced more Haikyu yet but I'm sure a second season is inevitable since it did fairly well. Though since the manga only started in 2012 it's probably best if they take their time before making more.

I'm bizarre
Ahh, I thought Ace of Dimaond was done, but it looks like they just took a week off.

I am sure nobody is surprised to hear this, but they have finally announced that Haikyu is getting another season.

:toot:
Now I can finally watch the last couple episodes I was saving because I wasn't ready for it to be over.

It was always a question of when instead of if, but it we don't know the date yet. :(

Episode 16

Ei's strategy here is pretty legit. As a short, scrawny, weakling like him, the best way to counter a power-player is to hit the most awkward shots possible. It's really hard to hit a low slice with a lot of power because not only is the ball well below the net it's also spinning backward which means that, unlike with top spin, the ball won't inherently bounce at an upward angle off the racket.



That volley is no joke. Even if you guess the direction, it's still a hell of a stretch to get it when it's that wide even with explosive movement.



Not really... well, it depends on the player. Araya is characterized as being fiery and impatient, so there's a good chance this strategy will work against him. But if Araya could control his patience and stay focused, he would have no trouble punishing Ei for those lobs. Also, you might tire yourself out with that frantic defense faster than Araya's hard hitting will tire him out.



Seriously, Ei is superhuman if he can keep track of stuff like this while fighting that hard for each point.



NOTE: Just putting this here temporarily, since I'm not sure if I should make a new thread or not.

You disrespect us. You drag corpses around. You steal, and you hurt feelings!

RRRRRRRAAAAARGH!

Prepare to die!
I say make a new thread. There is only going to be Baby Steps and Ace of the Diamond (and some girls tennis thing) this season, so it would probably be better to start over.

Teekyu doesn't count as sports anime, and they gave up all pretense after the first season.

Still, I guess we could make a combo thread for Baby Steps and Ace of the Diamond. I don't know anything about the second one except that it's a baseball thing though.

Made a thread for Baby Steps: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3710164

Since I only watched up to episode 15 of the first season, I'll be (probably) doing info posts on the rest of the episodes.
