Love when the hype is uncontrollable 🔥Looking back to the early days of when they were unsure of haikyuu xD

Majoz

dude in the middle has def seen this before lmao

Lucía

Can somebody tell them to watch the Blu-ray version of s4? I don't have the episode 1-2 of s3 unlocked, and I'm sure they are going to read the comments there!

sil

i've rewatched the last scene sooo many times like omggg the way it MAKES SO HYPEEED every single time

Natsu1401

Christine

Dropping by here to express how excited I am for this week’s uploads AND the digital release of the Dumpster Battle movie on Netflix (in some parts of Asia; not sure about other regions!) on the 31st! 🥹🏐

Clover

naur SAME and help, why were we all doing the same thing 😂the wait was pure torturous so we just had to consume haikyuu content in another way 😭😭😭

Nash

Omg me too 😭

Nash

Right?? For me it felt like waiting for more than a week

naopou

Every time we have to wait for another Haikyu upload has felt like an eternity but this one feels even longer somehow 👀😭😂

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

Haha I recently watched season 4 with a friend so I probably won't watch it again till their reaction. I cannot wait, however, for the movie's digital release to rewatch it!

Devanshi

guess what? me too!! tho i watched a lil bit of s4 as well, ngl. literally can't wait

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

... I couldn't wait and rewatched all of season 3 over the weekend 😆 well everything will be fresh in my mind for the reactions at least!

Mariacake

Can’t wait for tmr

Ana Carolina Diniz Guedes

Thanks guys, I couldn't read all the comments so I asked now!

Hem-ehem

Tuesday 25 + S2 review Thursday Seijoh clip + S3 01 & 02 From their comment below

Ron Jackson Jr

Ana Carolina Diniz Guedes

Thanks for responding!

Patriicia

ep 25 and some recap or something I dont remember well. But on Thursday there will be ep 1 and 2. They said it in a comment down below

Ana Carolina Diniz Guedes

Guys, will they post ep 25 and ep 1 of season 3?

Ron Jackson Jr

fr man!

questta

Seeing them get pissed at the cliffhangers would always be funny. 😎

Patriicia

How am I supposed to wait for the next upload. Im so excited👀😭

Brandon Bryant

Can you believe it can still get better. My favorite moment yet to come

Secretly

man ngl, I need that ep 25 and season recap soon. Posting it the next week is torture fr. Just Imagine it like you guys having to wait for the next ep of House of the Dragon after a banger happen!

alexis ♡︎

anybody see the pitt vs louisville match a couple days ago? sooo good, there were some questionable calls but the volleyball being played was just phenomenal 😮‍💨 one of the best rivalries in college volleyball, if not THE best

༒ dianna ༒

IM TELLING U

Lydia

that’s sick! Hinata and Naruto are my faveeee boys as well 🥹

Bingsu

One of my favorite scenes of haikyu is their match in S2. Also, the feeling of losing the team you like as well is somewhat sad. The black details on the players when Aoba lose is really great. Oikawaaaaaaaaaa's set up is unreal. He deserves all the love \m/ I love how Jack said Hinata gets better. Every player improve. Still, he needs to learn how to serve and receive. Excited for your jerseys, guys! Super excited on S3 and S4 (my fave). I hope you guys watch all s3 but I understand y'all are busy. :>

Bingsu

S4 is my favorite as well. <3

alexis ♡︎

no seriously!! i love that we all knew that carter was gonna vibe with this show before the reactions even started and now we’re seeing it week after week 😮‍💨

questta

Hey, Geks! Just a reminder since you're ahead of us (asumed you'd be at episode 6 next Thursday) and there're less episodes in Season 3: 1. Don't forget that there's a bonus scene after S3 episode 10. (You could find it in Youtube) 2. There're 2 OVAs that you MUST watch before entering Season 4. Have a nice weekend. 😊😊

Patriicia

I havent read the manga but I understand that people wanted it to be longer. I really enjoyed it tho, it was very emotional and I totally get why u cried 😭❤️❤️

Vol

they're breezing through haikyuu faster than any other channel

Clover

@Patriicia the movie was REALLY good BUT they shldve made it longer tho TT… well we’re not complaining cause the community is always desperate and licking haikyuu crumbs off the floor (plus i cried like a baby in cinema while watching the movie)

A_Daddy Daichi

I just don’t want haikyu to end too soon! It’d make me sad lol

A_Daddy Daichi

The experience for them would be 10x more fun if they watch S3 in one setting. They’d just have to keep the same upload schedule but idk if they’d wait longer to get into S4 or watch it right away after so that’s the only tricky thing

Patriicia

it really is so good and the movie???? ITS COOKIN

Patriicia

I cant wait for the next reactions.. if this was epic for Carter well.. he is in for a ride

Clover

aggressive boyfriend 😂 too true, they’re like an old married couple

Elain

this is why oikawa is my goat

alexis ♡︎

i have watched this reaction too much already.. just peak and imo it literally gets better like wtf

Kite

is it better if they watch the 3rd season in one session or weekly as usual?

༒ dianna ༒

Jack: Why you saying oh no? Carter: because it bounced off of Oikawa's hand! He gets it 🥲

༒ dianna ༒

Oikawa's set here when he points to Hajime is absolutely cheff fucking kiss! I LOVE HIM

༒ dianna ༒

nono, Kindaichi is turnip head, the one who saves Yamaguchis first serve in the 3rd set is Hajime iwazumi AKA Iwa-chan AKA Oikawas aggressive boyfriend

Vol

if you watch Kuroko first, you feel the hype. But if you start with haikyuu and watch other sports anime afterwards, your expectations are higher.

A_Daddy Daichi

Tbh how many times have I watched this and not fully realized how clutch Tanaka is??? Sleeper goat fr

A_Daddy Daichi

we have the same name omg

Cookie

goated episode

Clover

We about to go craaaaazy when S4 hits bc same girl

OoBeRoN Yordanov

The 26 point is the best point of the show, every time i watch it is insane amount of goosebumps, just the music is so fking hype, the animation all of it its just insane, especially watching it for the first time, i cant wait for season 3. Haikyuu is just the most hype anime ever, that way is so fking GOATED. love the passion boys, don't warry the show is gonna keep delivering in epic moments and epic new characters, and on Brig's point in the end (bro your gonna be surprised on how much more creative is gonna get.)

Mariacake

McKay not escaping the McKei allegations 🤭

Luna Meow

I'm just glad they're enjoying themselves. First few reactions,Gek's weren't feeling it. Glad watching isn't a chore anymore.

Hem-ehem

I'd mentioned Geks should have Karasuno jerseys (just a proposal) last Tuesday upload and wear them when watching matches in this show. I personally don't mind Brig wearing Oikawa's jersey though lol jersey no 1! Carter, Daichi no 1! Cannon despite the joke of him = Tsukki, the closest demeanor to Tsukki between you guys is McKay.. Subdued. Chill. McKay = Kei Tsukishima? no 11. Cannon's GOAT is Iwaizumi no 4, but for Karasuno, Tanaka? No 5 Jack! Hinata ..? No 10 Juust asking 😁 McKay, Tsukki is the 3rd most popular Karasuno member in terms of Haikyu merchandise after Hinata & Kageyama. Just an FYI lol

Timmy Turner

I remember all the people hating on Haikyuu in the poll, they must be seething now that it’s one of the anime the Geks are enjoying the most

peachy af

Idk if hinata is jackson's fav but it would be fitting if he got the no. 10 jersey bc he loved the show so much from the start

Luna Meow

ugh yes. I feel bad for anime only peeps

kai

now thats a lie kuroko had me hype and mad asf

anji banji

One thing's for sure, Carter's gonna get Daichi's. ✊

Fatipapi

SAMEEE i was literally clapping and jumping up and down in my chair even though i know exactly who wins etc 😂😂

Fatipapi

Cap, kuroko definitely also has a lot of hypeee and the geks love basketball so im very convinced theyd love it tooo

Fatipapi

YES we need a full jersey setup for season 3

anji banji

Day 1 of asking the Geks to wear their fave character's jersey.

lola

Yeah that’s not accurate :/ although there’s a lot of love for him for sure!

lola

It’s so funny to me when the guys say “but like how much more creative can you get with volleyball?”… OH YOU HAVE NO IDEA 😁 with that said though, S4 is my fav season… there’s just so much to look forward to!

lola

Naurrrr 💀

lola

What a season… and what’s crazy is that it only goes UP ⬆️ from here! I can’t wait for what’s to come… I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about it! 😭

snowy

okayy tq

peachy af

you're right and you should say it more

Crystal

Agreed🤝

Fatipapi

im surprised brig and mckay didnt smirk at eachother when coach ukai said "get it up... get it up no matter what" 😂

Devanshi

lol sameeeeee, counting days

Sandi

Ik, it deserved to be animated. Such a beautiful story🥹🫶🏽

Sandi

It’s cuz some anime do have spoilers lol. But haikyu is a safe one to watch

Moon

Same!!! I always learn something new about Haikyuu when I read the comments sections of reactors. People who are obsessed just like me really dedicate themselves to scrutinising every single manga panel or anime frame, and it's amazing!

Moon

Omg thank you?? I try my best to impart as much knowledge about the absolutely stunning symbolisms that Furudate inscribed into this beloved series, and also because I think it's such a great way for newer fans to learn more about the little details and stuff. I'll be sure to continue yapping about the fun facts and symbolic meanings of each episode in the future hehe<3

Moon

Ahhh I feel the same way!! I just had to make peace with that fact, no matter how much I feel bad for Oikawa and Aoba Johsai... They truly deserved to win just as much as Karasuno (but ofc, I'll still root for my crow boys hehe)

Brig Andrus

Haikyu comment sections>>

Brig Andrus

It’s true 🤣

Brig Andrus

Agreed 😈

gomin

It’s HYPEKYUU!!!! 😤 Finally got a chance to watch this! Such a great reaction from Geks, as always. Can’t wait for next week uploads! Would love to know everyone’s ratings for this season and who their fave characters are. And it’d be awesome to see you all rocking Karasuno jerseys in future matches!

Rasmus Kjær Poulsen

You really don't get this level of hype with Kuroko no Basket. Haikyuu > Kuroko

jazmyn

I LOVE THAT MATCH SO MUCH IT ALWAYS HAS MY HEART POUNDING

Anton Sakshaug

Ita fair for some shows, but not for this one. AOT legit spoils the whole season in their openings💀 but yeah they up the hype so much for haikyu

peachy af

season 4's is my personal favorite. it's a shame they're not watching them as they watch the show even though that's literally how they're meant to be watched. i never understood this whole "the opening has spoilers so dont watch it" thing that people keep telling reactors to do

Clover

Guys i just got the medical report and results… im officially terminally diagnosed with “I-can’t-wait-till-tuesday-so-I-might-just-pass-away” disease, the wait barely started and i’m already 🧎🏻‍♀️‍➡️🧎🏻‍♀️‍➡️🧎🏻‍♀️‍➡️

Hem-ehem

Ep 25 + review on Tuesday Ep 3x1 & 2 + Aoba Johsai clip on Thursday They said it in the comments here.

Anton Sakshaug

I know u guys like saving the intros for when u finish the shows but plis watch S3 opening, it has no spoilers and builds up the hype so much for the season!

Ari

💯💯💯💯💯 i truly wish they animate the whole manga 🙏 like a series, not just a movie

Clover

I need more people yapping about haikyuu tho!! just love this show, the community and all the comments yall leave every reaction 😭

Fabio Oliveira

As a season by itself, without taking into account the whole anime, S3 could be higher than a 7/10 (S4 I still think it's meh) but when I compare both to S2 they feel sooooo underwhelming to me. But cool that you loved those two season, all points of view are valid

Osiris704

Good point. If Oikawa truly hated Kageyama, he wouldn't have given advice (although very begrudgingly lol) about the freak quick. It seems like he does want Kageyama to grow but is annoyed at the fact at the speed of his growth and overall potential.

Fabio Oliveira

My problem with S3, or one of them, is that they tell us a lot instead of showing that Shiratorizawa is this undefeatable team, hell, what that team represent storywise I would even say that is more meaningful to Oikawa than any Karasuno player. The underdog narrative is the most common trope in sport animes, so if you don't add anything extra on top of that to me the games dont feel special or unique

Nash

Now y’all know why we wanted you guys to react to this show 🙂‍↕️

MissJodles

This is SUCH a peak episode! Truly the moment we’ve all been waiting for. I’m soooo hyped to have seen you guys being as excited about this show as we all are. So excited for S3!!

Nash

I love reading your comments haha. Kinda sad that you won’t “yap” about the symbolism in ep 24 😭

MissJodles

I love both S2 and S3; to me, S2 with Oikawa and Aoba Johsai is a really personal rivalry between players with history and very equally matched skill, whereas Shiratorizawa is like some kind of otherworldly enemy the underdogs have to face.

Ari

they could never make me hate you Oikawa! still and will always root for you 💪 and oh i really enjoy your reactions, it's like you are watching a real VB match love it. SEASON 3 IS ALMOST HERE

MissJodles

Truly I wanted Karasuno to win so badly the first time I watched Haikyuu, but the more I rewatch the show the more I think it’s an absolute travesty Oikawa (and Iwa) never got to beat Shiratorizawa and go to nationals. It breaks my heart !!

Christine

Speaking of jerseys, I feel like Brig would look cool in an Aoba Johsai jersey. With Oikawa’s number perhaps? 🤔

Ayaulym🇰🇿

Brig “How much more creative they can get” OH THEY CAN🤭 as a person who finished the whole manga they get BETTER AND BETTER right up until the last second. And you can NOT predict the trajectory of show and characters at some point. No receptiveness. Each arc, literally EACH arc, is unique and unlike everything before. And it covers all the loose ends and doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. Pure perfection

Ayaulym🇰🇿

44:10 "That was one of my favorite moments of the whole channel" - Carter ✍️ write that down guys. I prayed for you (especially Carter) to watch this show for a reason. Yall have to trust our recommendations cause I never failed yall🫡 Every time I thought “Carter is gonna love this” he did.

Ayaulym🇰🇿

36:49 41:35 42:50 I almost went deaf in my earphones

Ayaulym🇰🇿

I LOVE to see geks so stressed abut each point. The whole' I'm gonna throw up' 'my hands are so wet' and all the excitement of being at the edge of the seat is so relatable. Even through I watched this season in 2019 I still have chills. I feel like this is what makes Haikyuu more exciting than some battle shounen. Unlike in other anime, the rules of volleyball are set. There is no divine power, some expectant plot twist or a saviour to come and win the game. Like there is Gojo or Kakashi to save the day, or a way to run away and bend the rules with magic food pills and stuff. Just your team and the ball. On the other hand, this is no life and-death situation though haha. However, some of the characters being third years adds so much urgency. I ADORE this show. For making everyone feel so many emotions in a realistic and grounded reality. It's a perfect recipe for a motivational show, it makes you want to work harder since everyone finds a character they relate to so much. P.S. I am currently every day in a training room for a national dance competition right up until 3 am with my crew, so the whole episode hit even closer to home. Makes you want to enjoy every second of training spent with your crew

Mr.Flakes3

Everything about that last point was just absolutely crazy, From Oikawa pointing to Iwazumi and crashing into the table to Hinata basically going through a 3 man block. The first time I saw this it was absolutely mind-boggling to me how they could even play like that.

Ayaulym🇰🇿

"I feel like my lifespan gets shorter every time Oikawa-kun's time to serve comes around" is a CRAZY statement to be said and still so real lmao. And he is not even playing, just watching

snowy

is the next update ep 25 + s3ep1 and 2 or just ep 25 + s3ep1

corLeonis

Each characters (not only the mains) gets character development in each game. And you cant really hate anyone here 😅

yio

Thank you guys so much! 🩵 And happy birthday vally!!

Balzhan

oh, okay! i wish they react to Mob psycho after finishing these animes

Balzhan

I love this episode and the way Oikawa was portrayed. It is a reality that some people are naturally more talented than others. The words that the coach said to Oikawa is one of my favorite lines in all Haikyuu. "Have you found the limits of your abilities?" I printed it and hung it on the wall (among other quotes I found inspiring) to see it first thing as I wake up. It's so simple and deep at the same time. Same goes for Oikawa's "Talent is something you make bloom, instinct is something you polish". This anime was a pure motivation for me😅

GreetswithJudgement

Balzhan

are they watching only 1 anime right now?

Moon

Some fun facts in episode 24 that I've pick up from other great observers in the fandom over the years I've watched Haikyuu: Jack and Cannon are totally right when they say that the last point that Hinata got was the exact same set up as when they lost to Aoba Johsai the last time. Not only that, the animation of Kageyama's legs coming into frame, the backward set that he does, and even the block is all identical. Everything is the same, except. Hinata isn't closing his eyes. And yes, the reason they won, despite Oikawa reading the spike, is that Hinata got better at aiming his spikes. It's amazing how they paralleled this last point with the last point of their previous match with Aoba Johsai, which ultimately cost them their victory, but cemented it this time. Every single player on the court for that last point touched the ball in some way. Whether it was Suga, Tanaka, Iwaizumi or Oikawa. It was truly a poetic last point since everyone gave it their all. Most importantly, when Oikawa does his super long set from outside the court, he gives the ball to Iwaizumi, his best friend and teammate since they were little children starting out with volleyball, and reiterates what he monologued to his teammates and himself before the timeout was over (the thing about talent possibly blooming at an unexpected time or age, but that if you don't believe it will, it will probably never happen). The chills it gave me when he said his famous quote "Talent is something you make bloom. Instinct is something you polish." always, ALWAYS leaves me in awe. Of his character, of his hard work, his drive and determination to do the best he can do and pull off an almost impossible move despite not being one of the "geniuses" that he's always chasing after. Everything he did in that last point was him pushing himself to his limit and "trying everything he can" before comparing himself with the true geniuses. In that respect, he MADE his talent bloom in that moment when he pulled off that insane set, because he BELIEVED in himself for the first time instead of despairing at the limitations of his ability as a player. This is the start of his journey in volleyball, some argue. But either way, he is a damn good player, and his team deserved to win every bit as Karasuno. I could yap a whole ass essay about the symbolism in episode 24 alone, but I'll spare you guys from an even longer comment. All in all, amazing reaction. I can't wait for y'all to see season 3!!

Moon

This is just a small detail but the one who saved the ball when Kyotani (Mad Dog) touched Yamaguchi's jump serve and it almost went out was actually Iwaizumi, not Kindaichi HAHA! They can just mixed up sometimes because of the angle that we see the save from! Cannon was right haha! Oikawa shedding his usually cheery and almost carefree exterior in this last set always makes me feel so bittersweet. Him breaking his composure after missing that dump that Kageyama threw in their faces really got to him and reminded him of his failure to surpass his most detested rival. But then he regains this calm, almost laser-focus and suddenly he's the scariest man on the court again. Truly, he's a force to be reckoned with. The chills the fandom gets from season 2 episode 24 will forever be a point of obsession for any avid Haikyuu fan tbh. The animation, soundtrack and intensity all shoot up in this episode and it's always a sight to see you guys cheering and yelling

Patriicia

I should watch it too, havent seen it yet

lala

Oikawa is the most popular character in Japan.

Huewi

I've never been into sports, but this man THIS is what its all about. I was on edge the entire time, their reactions were literally my reactions. I've been to the AFL (Australian Football League for Aussie Rules Football) Grand Final in a stadium where 100k people were in attendance and I have got to say, this is more hype then that ever was. I am in actual euphoria right now that was so good.

Di

the last 3 minutes of this ep made me fall in love with oikawa

bokkun

OIKAWA POINTING AT IWAIZUMI IS ALWAYS SO GOOSEBUMPS INDUCINGGGGG

idk

Hello?? This made me crack up laughing LOL

idk

He’d go to WAR for tanaka Fr😭😭

Hem-ehem

LMAO why did he do that to himself 🤣

CoLdBITeR

The last episode is pretty much this. 👼 "defensive angel" https://youtu.be/oY2nVQNlUB8?si=HNEbHhRkJy-f4Vid

Christa

"Talent is something you make bloom. Instinct is something you polish." This is why Oikawa is the real goat. He's not a genius but he worked so hard to be the best!

Hem-ehem

Nash, the same here lol

gomin

Currently at work, haven’t watched this yet but the comment section has me feeling the hype already!

Nash

It really was. The only complain I have about the manga is that it ended 😂 like I need moreee

Hem-ehem

I love knowing what becomes of these Haikyu characters after reading the manga! Such a satisfying end too.

Laura

You guys should definitely take a look at this video! It compares the final point between aoba josai and karasuno in s1 vs s2. Even though the setup is similar, you can tell that karasuno has evolved a lot since their last match with aoba josai! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgaaH2Xt-cI

Clover

You’re so right 😭😭 The manga was alr bomb but you can tell every person involved in making the haikyuu anime respected and loved this piece of work too!! There were just too many cinematic and meaningful scenes that you can spend many hours thinking about and rewatch many times but still get a different interpretation from it :’)

Sandi

I did finish the manga 😭😭😭 OIKAWA supremacy 🫡

Nash

Idk whether you’ve read the manga or not but when I finished reading it, I loved him even more 😭😭😭

Clover

also i lowkey think furudate chose karasuno as his main team bc DAMN there were SO MANY CROWS in sendai and karumai (his hometown where haikyuu was inspired by)

Clover

some Seijoh team name lore w my minimal japanese skills XD What furudate really likes to do is to have a play on words w team names and birds/animals are usually a motif in the show Karasuno: karasu/烏 means crow Nekoma: neko/ 猫 means cat Fukurodani: fukuro/ 梟 means owl Shiratorizawa: shira 白, tori 鳥 means white bird aka eagle Well, so on and forth, and these might be stuff yall alr know, but for Aoba Johsai, their mascot is not a bird or an animal but actually a tree (if you google oikawa official art, you might find oikawa in a tree costume LOL) but anyways: 青(blue) 葉 (leaf) 城 (castle) 西 (west). Aoba together means fresh leaves, but Aoba Johsai together actually means west of the blue castle, aka Aoba castle, which is based of a real life castle in Sendai!! There could be many interpretations of this name, with the mascot of Seijoh being a tree? It could symbolise them being very grounded and calm and could also signify the time and effort oikawa took to gradually grow from a seedlings to a tree to catch up to the “talent” of his “genius” peers. And well, as we know Oikawa’s nickname is great king and their banner is “Rule the Court” which could symbolise Oikawa’s role as a commander and Seijoh as the knights/warriors

DCMH

The point into the crash into the get up gets me everytime

Hem-ehem

They have. Next week ep 25 & S3 !

Sandi

Yall real fans for this 🤘🏽

Hem-ehem

Oikawa is my top anime character too 🫶

Sandi

for the record, when Carter called #4 kendaichi, thats not his name. His name is iwaizumi and hes their Ace and also a goat. I love how last reaction Jack hated mad dog and this episode he was so sympathetic towards him, lol. Oikawa is one of my top favorite anime characters ever in all anime and i'm glad yall finally saw him getting fleshed out. I love his quote, "Talent is something you bloom, Instinct is something you polish". PS, ik carter would LOVE this anime. Real recognizes real 🤣

konfetti

Despite the awesomeness that awaits in season 3 THIS match with Aoba Johsai is peak Haikyuu to me. FANTASTICAL character build up with each team. Most sweat inducing eye watering spine chilling heart accelerating match ever

Nico

"Talent is something you make bloom, instinct is something you polish." Oikawa my goatttttt 😭😭😭

Rae

What an epic reaction to an epic match! The development, the parallels, the payoff, everything feels so earned and it makes watching karasuno win that much more satisfying. And yet there’s still a twinge of sadness for oikawa. He’s the “enemy” we were all rooting for and he absolutely deserved to play at nationals. As much as I adore the other seasons, season 2 will always be my favorite. Can’t wait for y’all to watch season 3!

Shelly

I thought you guys would have finished watching episode 25 as well😂

sey

this is why i was really excited to see you guys start this show. im still clenching my fist screaming and crying after years and years of watching...

Clover

dont worry!! down the comments they said they watched it before s3 ep1&2

Hem-ehem

They've mentioned they've already watched that clip in one of the comments. Next week would be stand alone ep 25 + review and 3x1 & 2 with Seijoh's clip.

Hem-ehem

Yes, after that you said it was one of your favs lol I was just highlighting that moment cause that's what Haikyu does. It made people feel so overwhelmed that they made superlative statements 😁

Ron Jackson Jr

facts!

Hem-ehem

Oikawa doesn't hate Kageyama.. he just sees him as a person in that "genius" category and personally sees Kageyama as an obstacle for him to get to Ushijima.. He's even helped Kageyama overcoming his obstacle in this season. I also believe he lets Kageyama learn from him when they were in Junior school. Kageyama is more of an annoyance to Oikawa. Oikawa's nemesis is only Ushijima.

Studio Geck

I did love it but I didn’t say it was my favorite I said it was “one” of my favorites 😂

Hem-ehem

Yes, but the "coincidence" of that he shares the same birthday, done by Furudate, Haikyu writer is Chef's Kiss .

Hem-ehem

Which makes me wonder if Furudate, the writer of Haikyu.. was he 30 when he wrote this manga at the point of Season 2 here... at this point Haikyu was definitely one of the top mangas and animes that even affected so many kids and raised the level of Japan volleyball. Volleyball was on the down slope in Japanese schools. A decade later, they've produced global Top 3/4 Japan volleyball team.

peachy af

Angelo does not play about tanaka he loves that boy so much

peachy af

Calling s3 and 4 a 7/10 at most is craaazy bc those are literally my two favorite seasons. Ballboy arc isnt the most hype or interesting but it yields fantastic results Edit: ON TOP OF the fact that i LOVE meeting new characters in s4 that set some cool things into motion for the manga

Jasmin☆

even though i’m rewatching and know the outcome i still get stressed out every single time 😭

Joydan Bri’an

why i get goosebumps on this match everytime i watch it like it’s literally the best match in my opinion. i love our team but aoba johsai might be my favorite team in the whole show. i was happy that we won but at the same time i feel so bad for oikawa and my man iwaizumi. anyways mvps were definitely iwaizumi (got to put him first always 🙂‍↕️) daichi, yamaguchi, makki, and tanaka (shoutout to asahi as well)

peachy af

Is this what we're doing? In the gek's comments? In public? 😭

Hem-ehem

After Karasuno won, Carter said "That was my favorite moment of the whole channel!" Brig "The whole channel..?!" Brig, if you guys watch yourselves watching Haikyu and compare yourselves watching other shows no matter how brilliant the story plots are.. Haikyu is different! It brings out that high emotion in you no other/rarely other shows can. It's visceral. This is coming from someone who's watched decades of TV shows and once considered herself a TV aficionado lol That's why Haikyu is my favorite. There are so many great lines in the show that are so inspiring too including the last one here by Oikawa about possibility of reaching your potential/success even at age 30... and that "talent" quote which so many have mentioned here lol

conrad

when Oikawa slipped the cloth from the table. I rooted so hard for me, i want him to get back up and keep fighting!

conrad

reading the comments reassured me that Haikyu fans are still not toxic. i’m sure even if they’ll get confused with some things (i doubt it though), i think fans will not be mean about it and just guide them through it. i love haikyuu so much that I had half of hinata’s face as tattoo. (the other half is naruto. hehe)

bella

actually, has anyone sent them the Seijoh special finale so they can watch it after episode 25?

Hem-ehem

40:55 Oikawa pointing at his best buddy, the Ace Iwaizumi! as he runs off to get the ball and serves off court is one of the best moments of Season 2 for me!! I think.. it maybe is the best scene for me in S2! Oikawa is the GOAT!!! That's why he's my no 1 Fav in Haikyuu!! ✊🏻

Hem-ehem

Suga brings the strategy to the team. His weapon is his serves where it's not about power but to take a strong player out of their quick attacks. 2nd set was Mad Dog. This set.. Iwaizumi.. They saw how more formidable and dangerous Iwaizumi is.

Hem-ehem

39:27 They (junior players of Aoba Johsai) noticed Oikawa's a bit different this match.. Well, this is his last tournament..

Clover

furudate really said shave this man’s hair off to tanaka bc the power he would hold with hair is just >>> WELL JOKES ON U SENSEI I ACTL DEVELOPED A THING FOR BALDIES

Clover

@Nash yea i rmb ange even killing a tissue box for tanaka XD

Nash

Nahhhh Carlie and Ange is right there. Ange especially cuz he’s the biggest Tanaka fan and he even has Tanaka Jersey 😭

bella

omg i'm so glad you've been putting respect on all of seijoh's names fr. kindaichi is an underrated player. oikawa is literally insane. iwaizumi is the perfect ace, like coach ukai said, he has both power and technique. makki and mattsun (the other third years) are crazy all arounders. kunimi, tho he hasn't been in much this game, is super intelligent and knows when to conserve his energy and when to go all out. mad dog even if unpredictable is a force to be reckoned with. watari (libero) has served as inspiration for nishinoya. they're genuinely really underrated as a team, they're all solid, intelligent players. they're honestly my favorite team on the show, they're all so compelling and they genuinely feel like they're all close friends and like each other a lot from what we do get of them. they're even able to integrate mad dog into their bond despite all the chaos because of their off and on court chemistry.

Clover

omg happy birthday!!!

Clover

happy birthday omg!!!

naopou

I loved the reaction I can't wait to hear each of your top three characters for this season!! P.S.: This will be the last time I promise 😅 but PRETTY PLEASE watch the OP for season 3 it just makes the season that much more intense!

Clover

rip to all the anime only fans who had to watch it weekly when it came out tho XD

Clover

the whole last sequence of the last point always lives rent free in my mind!! there’ll be random moments in my daily life when this WHOLE scene will replay in my head, just the way the music slowed/mellowed down when oikawa was pointing to iwaizumi, it was such a special moment for this iconic duo!!! and the way oikawa fell and slipped on the piece of fabric?? SO MANY EMOTIONS WERE TOLD IM SOBBING, CRYING, THROWING UP

Stanley Labissiere

I think this group might be the first group of reactors who TRULY appreciate how freaking insane Tanaka actually is

Hem-ehem

27:18 Iwaizumi/Iwa-chan! ( no 4) Is probably just as good as Daichi in the saves/receivings now... and! He's Aoba Johsai's Ace! Remember when his blasted through Date Ko's tall 3 men blocks?! Iwa-chan is just so cool!! Such a strong player! 29:23 Iwa-chan did it again! He's got power and grit. He's GOAT!

Jiggy

I understand scheduling wise it may prove difficult but if you’re able to find a day to block out for it believe me you’re in for a treat

Jiggy

I think I speak for everyone when I say I highly recommend you watch all of Season 3 in one sitting, the hype just hits on a completely different level. Of course you don’t have to upload it all at once, break it up as much as you need - and if that means you don’t film haikyuu this week or the following week coming to put aside a day to film it all the better.

Tomi Brewster

GreetswithJudgement

Perfect order. Season 3 is the GOAT for me.

Joie Dianzon 🇵🇭

The tournament gets more exciting per season because the rivals are stronger up to the legendary "Battle of the Garbage Dump" which is a movie they released just recently. Get ready for Season 3!!! 🥰🥰🥰 I think the best thing about Haikyuu is eventhough you might know who's going to win, you have no idea how because of the way they played against each other, it keeps you hanging as to when the ball will drop.

Ron Jackson Jr

ayo!

TANAKA THE GOAT FR

PEAK EPISODES, PEAK REACTIONS.

Carol

Guys, how can we ask them to react to a new anime? I’d love to see them reacting to YAKUZA FIANCÉ 😂😂😂

Tina L

The fact that each season has an argument for peak just showcases how great this show is.

Ale

There is a comment below we're they said they didn't watched after E25 but they did it before starting S3E1, so it will be in a separate video

jailynn custodia!!

oikawa my goat you will always be famous

bella

no i totally get you. to me, the aoba johsai rivalry has a lot more emotional stakes in them which is what makes it so interesting. all of the characters on seijoh are compelling too, mostly oikawa/iwaizumi. the only emotional build up to shiratorizawa was ushijima, and even that lacks a little. i like shiratorizawa as a team, they were screwed over by the anime adaptation though (SPOILER: characters like semi, shirabu, taichi and even washijo got a little bit more fleshed out in the manga) and //spoiler// inarizaki too, but aoba johsai will always have my favorite matches because of the character writing.

jailynn custodia!!

no cause carter always makes it known that asahi is the ace for a reason and he’s so real for that

jailynn custodia!!

also mckay’s smile after karasuno won got me a lil emotional. his character development is unmatched lmao

jailynn custodia!!

the stare down from kageyama to oikawa will never fail to give me goosebumps

Nash

The author really cooked with Oikawa

Northyee

the s3 op is the GOAT

Beau Crawford

Forgot how amazing these episodes were!!

Hem-ehem

8:47 Ep 23, Tsukki's so cool! The way he just moved out of the way of the ball. Doing my *Yamaguchi's "Tsuk-kiiii!" 😭 Tsukki knew Mad Dog's would be pissed at him and aimed that serve right at his face lol.

Hem-ehem

Aoba Johsai is a private high school. The applicants need to take a more difficult exam/get better scores to get into that school. Students with good exam scores and great curricular achievements have a better chance getting a place there. Especially ones with exceptional curricular achievements. Between Aoba Johsa and Karasuno, I think Aoba Johsai students generally are better in academics than the public school Karasuno. Between Shiratorizawa and Aoba Johsai, Shiratorizawa has better facilities it seems. It maybe is harder to get into Shiratorizawa. Higher level of exam difficulty or higher exam scores needed to get in that school. In my country we also have exams to go into better academic high schools. Either Mad Dog was good in exams or barely passing the qualifying levels to get in lol OR he passed the extrance exam well but just went "Mad Dog" only in volleyball matches just like how Kageyama was super intense and rude in volleyball matches before he joined Karasuno. If Aoba Johsai is a good team who have smart players, why did they lose to Shiratorizawa every single time? It has been 3 years for Oikawa. (6 if include 3 yrs of junior high) That's 5 high school tournaments. Not 6 because Oikawa's team lost to Karasuno in their last match. We'll have to see and find out 😁

An

i just wish the animation didnt change in season 4 😭

Anaya

HYPEKUUUU!!!!!

Kna

when you know what happens but watching the geks getting hype and nervous made me hyped and nervous too

Sasha

Wasn't he nicknamed The Great King by Hinata only?

Fabio Oliveira

Not mad with that ranking, I would change S3 for S2 as the best one only. If no ties are allowed I would too put S4 above S1

Sasha

Yeah. Actually those are lyrics from the song called Soaked. I just put Oikawa to replace two words. Lmao. I was excited about making this comment since season 1 reaction when Oikawa was introduced. But it would work so much better in tiktok edit.

FURsona

Don't forget the extra ending of season 2

Fabio Oliveira

Would you mind telling me what makes the Shiratorizawa match so peak for you? Kinda get the hype of the match, but for me the stories of the characters are less interesting, and Ushiwaka is a big aura guy, but beside that I don't found him particulary interesting, he to me is not as good as main rival of the opposite team as Oikawa is in terms of storytelling, and on the volleyball side of things I think Oikawa still more epic since he does a lot of different things

Hem-ehem

2:30 "Hinata's barely done anything". - Aoba Johsai have found way/s to deal with Hinata. It started with the stopping of Hinata's broad spike in Set 1. Kageyama also mentioned he needed to find ways for Hinata to have more successful attacks/spikes. Matsukawa/Mattsun noticed Hinata's patterns of attack remember? Also if you noticed, Mattsun will be always on Hinata's heel. It's being shown a few times in this match. - Aoba Johsai is a team of thinkers. Especially the 3rd Years. Also refer to Kageyama thinking Mad Dog was smart because he replaced Kunimi. Haikyu kept mentioning that Aoba Johsai is a team of thinkers since their Inter High match. Even the coach said it. The coach just observes since the team would discuss and come up with the solution to the problem themselves. He would come in if the team needs help only. Which is rarely.

Jar Jar

just to clarify about why you guys might question the substitutions is that in volleyball, middles and liberos have to rotate on and off the court when they either enter back or front court. At the 23:24 point mark Hinata swaps with Nishinoya because Nishinoya is about to enter the front, hence why its tsuki's serve and tsuki isn't technically a great option on the back court as he doesn't attack there so they go for a more aggressive play by switching Suga for the serve and doing a 2 setter play. just to clarify usually when tsuki serves and they lose the point tsuki immediately gets subbed of for nishinoya this is an automatic and unique substitution between middles and liberos, you can actually only forcibly substitute people up to 3-5 times a set depending on what comp it is.

dotsae 🇧🇷

For me is like S3 > S2 > S4 > S1, all of then top tier best thing ever made

Crystal

But ur so real for that lmao 🤣

Crystal

What happened to ‘how are you’?

Wictor Whiskey Ahlund

No matter how many times I see it, that entire last point never fails to give me insane goosebumps

Crystal

AGHHH THESE EPISODES WERE TOO HYPE!!!!!!!

Stanley Labissiere

Oikawa is one of the GREATEST characters I dun ever seen

Studio Geck

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU TOO!!

dotsae 🇧🇷

IWAIZUMI MY GOAT!!!!!!!!

Nash

Hello???😭

Sasha

I had to watch the most hype moment with headphones since others went to sleep but I'll be sure to watch this again soon so I can damage my vocal chords properly.

Fabio Oliveira

I put a warning in the og comment and at least to me the comment section of Patreon never shows more than one replie, so to get to my comment with the spoilers you have to click on "show more replies", which if you do knowing that the main post have the warning, you are aware of it and have seen till S4 or either dont care (If that is not the case for everybody I apologize, if there is a edit option I will put a warning anyways) S4 idk, maybe It happens as you said and after watching whats left of the anime it will make me appreciate it more, but as it stands now for me it's ranked at the bottom tied with season 1 (I not much of a manga guy, so that sadly is not an option)

Sasha

I need to get some air. Oikawa you get me so... So soaked. This heat is getting to me. I want you all over me.

Ghedo

my god the chants in the backround, the guitar, everything is just so immaculate

idk

@fabio oliveira Btw your comment has heavy spoilers so could u put a warning on it? And I mean I guess you have your own personal feelings about s4 which is fine, but objectively it is the season that introduced more important characters and developments for the future. I recommend you read the manga so you understand where I’m coming from bc I don’t wanna spoil rn

Luna Meow

Because every team,is just a group of boys.Just like ours. That found there passion.Playing a game they love. Grinding for the Win. so we cant hate them....

Tomskidaaboo

greatest epsiode season two, absolutely phenomenal

Luna Meow

I love my crow's, but first watch, I would have been just as happy with a Seijoh win and them becoming the main cast. Oikawa such a well written character, we can't help but feel for him. I would love a Seijoh retelling of the story one day, Loss and all.

Taylor Blackwell

IT’S SCOTT STERLINGGGGG!!!

Fabio Oliveira

*Spoilers* Can't talk about the manga since I havent read anything, but for S4 I have a lot of mixed feelings. I love the "little twist" that they did with the true nature of Kageyama and I liked too how they developed Hinata to be more than the guy who jumps high and spikes, but at the same time, I found Hinata super annoying in the development campus that the Shiratorizawa coach did, the training of Kageyama with Japan didnt hype me as much as I expected, and the match against the trumpet team (I dont remeber the name) was ok, but nothing special. Also the animation quality was a bit yikes (I know that the COVID messed up a lot the production of that season so it's not really fair to blame the studio for that)

Lydia

the magic of haikyu 🥹 everyone is just really great

jailynn custodia!!

this dropped when i was in class no way-

Nash

Season 4 is one of my favs. Like literally the character developments and the dialogues were PEAKKK

bebe

s3 and 4 was peak for me

questta

17:04 "Why can't we just have enemies that are enemies?" I'm dying. 😂😂😂

idk

Me personally I feel like s4 was the peak of haikyuu for me, not just for anime but in terms of manga too. It introduced a lot of foreshadowing for future events. Not gonna go into details but if ykyk But I see ur point of how karasuno and seijoh rivalry/stories connected well

Juanca

Yaass, Taichi the GOAT!

Luna Meow

in the anime. Hands down Oikawa best written character. In the manga Hinata full journey gives him a run for his money.Manga wise can't decide between the 2.

bondbond53

Of course that insane toss is +1000 aura points for Oikawa but him crashing, getting straight up, stumbling and tripping to get back into the game is what really makes him a GOAT Also, Iwaizumi was actually insane to sync like that with Oikawa and don't even get me started on the amount of crucial receives he did. And that's why Aoba Johsai is in my top 3 Haikyuu teams

Fabio Oliveira

*Spoilers* I know people love season 3, and Idk how good the movie was (havent watched it yet) but does anyone feel like me that this match is the peak of Haikyuu?, to me their rivalry against Aoba was always the best constructed and developed, much more than with Nekoma, since a lot of the narrative of that one comes from the past and things that in reality, or at least to me, don't have a real conecction with the present characters. It's not like I hate the rest of the anime or that I don't like it, but any of the matches that will come doesn't get any close to this one, this to me always feels like storywise should be the final match of the anime rather than another step to climb in the ladder. To me this season is like a 10/10 and the following are a 7/10 at best but no so much because they aren't good by itself, but because none of the games connect the story of both teams like the Karasuno vs Aoba does

bondbond53

GUYS WATCH THIS CANON CLIP AFTER EPISODE 25: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lao54_hFaA0

this reaction was legendary😭and i love the tanaka hype, the ultimate senpai!! so excited for S3!!

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

Yes!!! Thank you thank you thank you Geks!! So glad you all gave Haikyuu a shot despite some initial hesitation! The Haikyuu uploads make my day, I have the biggest smile across my face reliving it with you!!

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

What an episode, never fails to impress and get the hype going no matter how many times I've seen it!! 👏👏👏 Absolutely loved seeing the huge smiles from all of you during those final points, the parallels to the season 1 match are unrivaled!! That was one of my favorite moments for the channel too! 😁 Thanks as always for the peak reaction content! ❤️

Nash

OIKAWA MY FUCKING GOATTT. Broooo everyone went crazy in this match but what truly moved me in that match was Oikawa's incredible set to Iwaizumi, especially when he fell onto the tables and chairs yet got back up. His quote, "Talent is something you make bloom. Instinct is something you polish," WHAT A LINE. In that moment, I wanted Oikawa to win more than anything, and he instantly became my favorite character in the entire series. The author cooked with his character.

Jenu

fr bro, they might surprise us you never know

Vol

Furudate's pen 🖊️🔥 I second having to read the manga, it's my #2 fav manga of all time and no other sports manga ticks off all the boxes the way haikyuu does.

It’s always great to watch volleyball with my internet friends 🤭

HNadR

Annnnddd OIKAWA TORU, WHAT A CHARACTER YOU ARE!! Hats off, man! 💥 His arc is probably my favorite of the whole series. "But if you think it'll never come, it probably never will." Ahhh my heart... 😭 To think that there are people who just hate him because he was mean to Kageyama smh. That's just ridiculous. He's such a complex and beautifully constructed character. I am so glad they didn't whitewash him like "oh yeah, he apologized to Kageyama" He remained grey. That's real life. You can feel his anger, his desperation, his inferiority complex, his pain. Even though he's portrayed to be an overall silly guy overflowing with pettiness, even when he's taking jabs at people, or "smiling", you can clearly see that it doesn't reach his eyes. The detailing on him is crazy. My friend told me that this was her favorite match of the whole series, and I was like "NOOOO!!!!" This one hurt so bad. I LOVE Karasuno! Nishinoya is my favorite character, but it was OIKAWA! 😭💔

Jenny D

One of my favorite episodes! This was such a great rematch. You guys should watch the ending theme because it's very powerful and my favorite ending. Also, there is a mid credit scene in the next episode. Great reactions! The last point is so intense and so many good shots, hits, and saves. Excited for next Tuesday!

Ashley K

This is one of the best reactions by the Geks!!

yio

Thank you both! 🩵

HNadR

Tanaka was so clutch, but the real "sleeper" goat is Nishinoya imo. He is always in the background keeping them from falling apart, but he rarely ever gets his flowers. Even the Coach is like "Hinata, Kageyama and Daichi" most of the time. It kinda pisses me off 😐

HNadR

41:29 Carter: He got it tho...! Bro was gearing up to defend Daichi before they even blamed him for the ball bouncing off his arm lmfao. Carter's love for Daichi is hilarious 🤣

Kyle Wilson-Hunt

Oikawa pointing then setting for iwaizumi is still one of the greatest anime moments to me. its like he sacrificed himself to stay in the game. the entirety of the last point is nuts and i don't blame Carter for saying its one of his favourite moments. its truly a masterpiece of a scene

Osiris704

Glad y’all finally got to watch the final rally! Brig hit it on the mark when he noticed that the reason Oikawa hates Kageyama is because he reminds him of Ushijima. Oikawa has (or had) an inferiority complex towards those who seemed naturally gifted at volleyball which is a gift he believes he doesn’t have. He thinks there are players that have a much higher ceiling than him no matter how hard he trains. Ironically, it’s this mindset that has propelled him to be at the level he is now and that last set to Iwaizumi shows just how gifted Oikawa really is!

Brooke C

Happy Birthday!

Albin Limani

"Talent is something you make bloom. Instinct is something you polish". My favourite quote in Haikyuu!!, one of my favourites in all anime, from my favourite Haikyuu!! character. This episode literally is what it is named, The Absolute Limit Switch, for the players and those watching because it reaches the limits of hype. Also, the upgrade in animation this episode vs everything before is insane.

Lydia

That last rally is one of THE best moments of the show for me. i loved that hinata got his get back from the first loss against them and how far hes come. SO bittersweet for great king tho, part of me hated seeing him lose. and man, the Oikawa/Iwaizumi combo does it for me every single time 😤

Süm

Yeah, manga is great. Furudate's storytelling is just so good. I love the anime a lot but I think anyone who loves Haikyuu should read the manga too. There is just so much more.

Ale

I've been reading the manga from the start for the first time and I've found a lot of little interactions, dialogs and things the anime didn't include or changed that are making me appreciate the story in a better way.

Frida BØ

Happy birthday!

Ale

It doesn't matter how many times I watch this, that last rally always gets me. It's bittersweet for me as Oikawa is one of my faves and seeing him lose his last chance to go to nationals during his high school is always so sad 😭 Can't wait for the season finale next week and hear your overall thoughts about the season guys!! Also, S3 next Thursday‼️

maria

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS!! 🥳

SIIver

Also just an fyi, if you guys want to do a try not to cry challenge, I highly recommend watching violet evergarden. It makes every person cry. If you ever need an anime cleanse from all of the shonen anime, everyone recommends this one. I bawled my eyes out every episode so….

bebe

I hope you watch season 3 OP when you start to watch season 3 as it will really hype you up for the upcoming match with no spoilers

bebe

PLEASE WATCH THE OPENING OF SEASON 3, it will really give you the hype and there is no spoiler anyway

bebe

i have watched haikyu so many times alongside with reactors, these haikyu moments never fail to give me goosebumps although i know what is gonna happen. AHHHHHH season 3's gonna be lit

Colin Boehling

LETS GO

yio

I've listened to that ost so much that I can picture exactly what's happening at each moment in the song 😭 especially Hinata's moment with the beautiful guitar

bebe

That oikawa's quote on "Talent is something you make bloom, Instict is something you polish" will be most legendary one in haikyu for me

yio

I just realised this upload came out on my birthday - TY SO MUCH FOR SUCH A BANGER REACTION

yio

PREACH

yio

they need to watch kuroko no basket one day - I can see them getting just as hyped as they did in this episode

Süm

Episode 24 is an amazing episode. I just wish while they are adapting it they kept the coaches' thoughts about Oikawa's amazing toss from the manga so I am going to write them here. When Oikawa does his amazing set we see Seijoh's coach Irihata saying : "I thought I had already been giving Oikawa high praise for his obvious talents... but it seems I still underestimated him" This was important because it was a call back to the time he said Oikawa is an efficient player but not a genius when you compare him to a player like Kageyama in season 1. And it is true he has been underestimating Oikawa but it wasn't just him Oikawa was also underestimating himself when he kept saying he couldn't do pin-point sets like Kageyama because he did it here. That was a perfect pin-point set and Ukai explains that in the manga : "He dropped that smack into the left-side slot. The width of the court. The height of the net. The feel of how far things are. His spatial awareness of everything on the court is probably so ingrained in him now it's on an instinctual level. That set was perfect!!" Then we get one of my favorite scenes in the whole show. Oikawa hitting the benches,getting up and saying the line "Talent is something you make bloom, instinct is something you polish!". In one of his interviews, Furudate's editor said that Furudate does not see talent as a key to success. He quotes him: "Only after you give it your all and finish can you tell whether you have talent. So talent isn't something so simple that you can see in the very beginning!" He also said, "I don't know whether I have talent, so I draw and find out". With Oikawa, I think Furudate wanted to show this. He first introduced him as this amazing setter and then we get to know him and see that he is insecure about his abilities. In the first official match against Karasuno, before the last point, Oikawa says "Tobio, considering how fast you evolve I will probably lose to you someday, but not today" This Oikawa thinks him losing to Kageyama is inevitable because Kageyama is a genius and he is not. However this changes in season 2. Oikawa has his talk with that mysterious man and he completely changes his view. "Today might be the day to grasp the chance to let your talent bloom. Maybe tomorrow, the day after, or next year... Maybe even when you are thirty. I'm not sure if physique has anything to do with it. But if you think it'll never some, it probably never will." This Oikawa knows he is just 18, he hasn't hit his limit yet and he will continue to improve and make his talent bloom. His team losing to Karasuno does not change that. He is such an inspiring character. He has been working hard since middle school. That is six years of hard work without going to nationals even once. Still, he never stopped working hard and he probably never will. I am really happy to see Oikawa appreciation in the outro. I feel like in a lot of reactions he is kinda underappreciated. This is probably my favourite haikyuu reaction. Totally agree with Brig no matter how many times I watch this game, seeing Oikawa lose always makes me feel so sad and yeah Oikawa's set was definitely the play of the match. Anyways, I know this is such a long comment but I just love Oikawa and how Furudate wrote his character.

yio

same!!

yio

I fkn LOVE it that you guys are getting hyped - THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR, I KNEW YOU GUYS WOULD LOVE MOMENTS LIKE THESE

yio

MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD MY HEART I LOVE THAT LAST POINT SO MUCH

Ghedo

This last rally is giving me goosebumps even the 9th time ive watched this show. The OST "Direct Confrontation" is a masterclass, for me atleast top 5 OST of all time

Ale

I have to pause. Brig calling Usiwaka Oikawa's daddy was so unexpected 😂😂😂😂

kai

that super long pass from oikawa to iwaizumi is insane and it just shows how much trust they have in each other

MissJodles

It’s a crime Oikawa never got to go to Nationals

MissJodles

The set to Iwaizumi actually always hits my heartstrings. Their friendship is my absolute favourite thing 🫶

Mariacake

Thank you for the info! I’m so excited!! Already season 3 next Thursday! Let’s go! 🤩

questta

COOOOL!!!!!!!!! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!! Won't be heartbroken watching ep 25 without clip next week LOL

Mariacake

Chihayafuru? Is that Taichi?

kkcat

In that last rally every player on the court got to touch the ball at least once. It's like a representation of the theme of "connect".

Dakota

Just an unreal match. Can't wait for you guys to start season 3. Karasuno FIGHT!

A_Daddy Daichi

Happy Birthday 👑

AAHH CANNOT WAIT TO WATCH THIS WHEN I'M HOME FROM WORK!!!

Studio Geck

These episodes were UNREAL!!! Btw just an fyi for next week, we did the end of the season review with the last episode in its own video, so the first drop next week will be 2x25 and then 3x1-2. We also watched the extra aoba johsai clip in the 3x1-2 video!

ShadowCat

YESSSSS. Seriously the best rally of the show! And each Karasuno player got to touch the ball that rally (even if a hit to the face). I always get goosebumps during it and y'alls hype did NOT disappoint 👏 🥲🥳

questta

44:34 "whole depressed" from Brig. Same here, same. 😭 And even thinking about that Oikawa always plays with his all but never gets into Nationals since junior high because of the geniuses Ushijima and now Kageyama. (That's not all but still.)😭😭😭 Tiny bittersweet for Cannon now, what's gonna happen in episode 25... Worried for Brig also 😆 (For the record, they've said they've finished Season 2, so it's not a spoiler, I think...)

kai

oikawa you gotta get your lick back and iwaizumi will always get 10s from me he’s the goat for a reason

Vol

it doesn't matter how many times u rewatch this show... even when u know the outcome of a match, the rallies at the end of the set/game will always have you at the edge of your seat.

Mim

GOATED reaction to GOATED episodes. Also I think someone got the goat Iwaizumi and Kindaichi a little confused but I think it’s been cleared (hopefully) 😂

DontFailArtSchoolEren

The same studio can make more since its clearly working lol

Leely

It’s definitely is a must watch

Coen

this was beyond epic

kkcat

Like every comment about Aoba Josai is how Oikawa is amazing but imo their entire team is goated. It really feels like when the rest of the team pick up impossible balls or think of smart plays they never get any flowers from the coaches and audience members lmao T_T

OIKAWA SUPREMACY!

idk

His last quote always gives me chills

Haikyuu might be the anime with the most hyped moments they have watched so far on the channel because each match will have so many baked into this sports genre formula. Interested to see if this will be among their top shows ever experienced because its volleyball not fantasy with magic and dragons because theres so many other sports than just volleyball in Anime that have this formula.

Oh maaan, dont remember how many times I have re watched these episodes. Absolute CINEMA! Great reaction! And the best part is we are only halfway through the anime so far (season 3+ 4+ movie(s))

Secretly

best time to watch

Oikawa Toru is such an amazingly well written character.

Thank you for posting it early!! This game had me so nervous & everyone gave their all into it. I get so emotional watching this show 🥹💛Also, There is a ova bonus clip (about 7 mins) for Aoba Josai you should definitely watch after episode 25 & before the start of season 3 https://youtu.be/Lao54_hFaA0?si=rNVYZ2anKFBj6jIo

Honestly though, none of them do it like Haikyuu

It seems hard to believe they were Anime haters when they have been enjoying so many different shows from many genres and ages but at the same time these shows are popular for a reason.

If they watch more sports anime this will be what they can expect, back and forth with so much suspense, epic music and loving characters on different teams but only one will win it all.

idk

Aw man I was hoping to get 3 episodes and start s3 next week but it’s okay!! I loved this reaction. Even tho I’ve rewatched this show a million times the last point always gives me chills man it was so climactic 😭 and I love oikawa so much so I always feel so bad for him

Since its a sports anime it really plays off the tension and uncertainty since we all know only 1 team will be the winner. This is the back and forth action outside of all the build up and training and character development of different teams that people love about this anime with the music and slow motions. Its grounded in experiences that we understand so its easier to become excited and emotional compared to fantasy and its endless ways to fumble.

Dropping while I'm working? Diabolical!! But that's alright, I ain't got nothing to do so I'm cool for another 30 minutes. 😂 That last volley is literally one of my favorite moments from Haikyuu. Oikawa setting the ball from way outside the court, his back hitting those chairs and tables and him just getting back up, desperately, made me go "OH. He's LIKE THAT." Hinata & Kageyama perfectly executing the new and improved god-like quick at the end made my heart soar, lol. So many great moments within these two episodes tbh.

I've seen some people mention this but you guys should watch the sejoh ending POV clip from the S2 recap movie! Its only a few minutes but it really adds to their arc (especially my king Oikawa) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lao54_hFaA0

33:41 Tsukki is on the backline, he's not as useful there since he can't block. That's the reason they get Suga in to cover the weakness in that rotation.

happy birthday🥳

44:08 High praise!! Especially when people were saying y’all wouldn’t enjoy this series. Lol Ep 24 always makes my blood pressure skyrocket!! Oikawa’s set to Iwaizumi where he fell into the tables is such a great moment. Season 3 incoming!!

Happy birthday Vally! 🥳

Oikawa will always be my goat no matter what. Fun fact: Oikawa’s birthday is July 20th, which is believed to be the same as Alexander the Great’s. Thus, he is indeed The Great King!

vally
