They did win that practice match in season 1 against aoba johsei, but only because oikawa went in so late 😂 had he been there from the start, they wouldve definitely lost

Matis

He training arc in this anime are goated fr fr 🔥🤣

Sanji

Aren’t Aoba Josai bums if they barely beat Karusuno last tournament… Karusuno is getting stomped on rn in the Tokyo practice matches by other top teams.

They're gonna love the Tsukki exposition, I just know it. My boy.

Hem-ehem

Hahah got it. Yes, the community here is easy going, fun. Just like how Haikyu as an anime is, overall lighthearted & fun. Of course Haikyu has those thrilling parts & episodes and character developments.

Clover

its painful to wait but the haikyuu comment section really is so entertaining XD we’re like desperate thirsty ppl in the midst of a haikyuu drought

Kna

here's the 300. pleaseeeee, before I have to go to sleep.

Clover

its a friday morning for me now and im waiting 🥺

bokkun

oh it's nothing too bad as far as i remember, but there were a lot of serious discussions. the hxh crowd are just so well-versed in the world while i just completed the show when the geks started so i only realized some things when other people pointed them out too! hence i kept quiet HAHA. while here we can talk ab anything it feels like :>

Clover

morning!! its morning where im at too haha 😙

Amna 🍉

Damn where do you live? It's only 10:45 pm here

Illumi

fr its basically early wed and friday posts lmao

Hem-ehem

Are they waiting till the comments hit 300 to post this time? 😜

Hem-ehem

I might pop in HxH and see what it's like over there just out of curiosity 😁

peachy af

Its always so late for EST haikyuu days are basically Wednesdays and fridays for me lol

maria

i already ate my dinner 💔

Hem-ehem

I can hear this lol whenever I see this line, it always takes me back to that 1948 Oliver Twist movie. I know there are many versions but the 1948 sticks the most in my mind.

Alex

It's already 3:30am here 🥲

Mariacake

I’m having the feeling that I’ll end up sleeping at 1am tonight 🥹

Lydia

Can we have som more please?

ginabella

Please Haikyu tonight! I love the next two episodes!

Christine

Hope you're having a lovely dinner, Maria! <3

Mariacake

Good morning!! ☀️ it’s dinner time where I’m at. 😊

bokkun

yeah i was a patron when they were watching hxh and i barely commented then bc the comment section kinda intimidated me (not saying they weren't nice or anything, just felt like they knew way more than i did). but this comment section's general atmosphere has been really friendly and funny that i go here often just to check comments lol

bokkun

before i have to go to work cmon carter 🥺

Christine

So how are y'all doing? Good morning from my side of the world btw :>

peachy af

I cant pop my popcorn until the episode drops 😔

Chaffi

TRUEEE

Hem-ehem

I don't need to check this place a lot to see if the video's up but I just like to pop in and read the comments no matter how long or short they are. This is such a positive community! I have only my emails set on sound notification. So, I'll be waiting for that nice "drop" sound to say Haikyu's ready to watch. My life and work does not involve lots of emails hence that "drop" sound I set is special now since I've been a Patreon for the weekly Haikyu 😊

Yuri

Yesss! We need next drop as a treat for working hard this week🥹

Secretly

Haikyuu *wins the poll* Geks: I think we should post it last of all the series

Stacy

Just bought food, so excited for the next droppp!

alexis ♡︎

fienin bad 😓

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

So excited for the next two!! Hope they come soon 😁🙌

Luna Meow

Because we are addicts. Watching us twitch till next Haikyu fix is amusing.even i laugh at everyone freaking out when we're last drop of the night.

Apex

🥺

maria

waiting for that haikyu drop :3

farkzzy

🙂

Chito

what a great day to be a haikyuu fan

Heretic Rawdog

Why do they hate making us happy

Jenny D

Yeah, some people get so serious and way too extra in the comments. I watch GoT as well as some people take things too personally if you don't agree with their opinion. I generally keep my comments pretty neutral. It's a shame they had to get on Carter's case. We are all going to feel differently about GoT. I know I did when I rewatched it after season 8 ended and even now watching it with them again.

Ana Carolina Diniz Guedes

Haha

Fe

best boy

Nash

No fr. I watch their GOT reactions but usually don’t comment there bc of how toxic it is haha

vally

Like pls show me ONE fandom who would react so chill about McKays reaction? Carter was treated so badly in season 7 GoT comments section even though he still reacted and spoke about it, while McKay was just shutting off. Nothing wrong with that, we make our little jokes and move on haha

Ana Carolina Diniz Guedes

Exactly ☺️

vally

As Haikyuu fans, we're just enjoying ourselves, and it seems like they hatinnn that! I'm pretty active on the HotD and GoT posts, but I have to say, I feel way more comfortable and happy in the Haikyuu comment sections! Haikyuu fans are just honestly so kind and accepting, and I truly believe that it takes a certain level of empathy and positivity to appreciate and love the show.

anji banji

It's Tsukki's birthday today. What a great timing for the next batch.

Apex

Praying for an early drop today pls 😭 such a long day at work, don’t want to have to go through that tomorrow again before haikyuu lol

bebe

eagerly waiting for the next batch ✨✨

Ana Carolina Diniz Guedes

☺️

Hem-ehem

They're just loud minorities.

jay

IM DEAAAADDDDDD

Ana Carolina Diniz Guedes

Guys, if I may make a comment...some people who hate Haikyuu must have been jealous or something because our precious Haikuu came first in the vote. I don't know about you, but I've seen recently, after they started watching Haikyuu, a lot of bad taste comments from some people. I don't even waste time with people who do that. I just watch the boys' reactions and I don't even care

Fe

im soo excited for the next two!

Fe

can we get today’s drop a bit early 🙏

Jenny D

Haikyu day!

questta

Was Mckay only gone for this one? Or for the channel?

Hem-ehem

I think Haikyu's training arcs are the best too. Although I kinda remember enjoying Bleach training arc as well but Haikyu tops that for me because it goes into character developments other than skill /abilities.

Luna Meow

Lol wait till the y're all done with anime, so your not spoiled. But you must read the last arc in the manga after.Prefect ending to the story.

Kna

Totally understand Carter. This is my favorite training arc of all animes too!

9Aki

No but I read the manga and I was inspired by Hinata (I'm not gonna spoil since not everyone has read it) but my absolute favourite arc is in the manga and I will actually cry if it doesn't get animated properly or at all 😭😭😭

Luna, I keep forgetting things can be left out. I love not know what’s going to happen but I’ll consider reading the manga. I’ve only read 1 manga

A_Daddy Daichi

Yeah it’s all fun jokes. Nothing serious although I only saw one so far that was serious but they ended up deleting

Nash

Honestly THAT reason is why he’s my top 1 😭

maria

rewatched for the second time and omg i’m so glad you guys are enjoying the training arc!!! :D been loving your reactions to the recent eps lately and i’m loving this comment section sm 😭🫶🏼🫶🏼 (you guys are hilarious and thoughtful)

idk

The comments are jokes I believe. Nobody is genuinely mad from what I can see

idk

@nic_ All opinion based. Some ppl have different tastes. I think haikyuu is better than one piece in terms of enjoyment. I gave up after the first few episodes of one piece cuz I wasn’t enjoying it. I can’t say the same for haikyuu. I dunno about writing cuz I don’t read/watch one piece like that so I won’t comment on that. But its our opinion. There’s no solid facts bc it’s about our personal opinions.

Nic_

Haikyu cool but OP is miles above this show lets be fr

Stanley Labissiere

Man some of y’all commenters are so weird about them liking or not liking a character that they’ve BARELY met

Luna Meow

Dianna.... my first thought was more out going Tsuki. .Lightbulb go's off so derp...Kuro then. Friendly and sarcastic

Luna Meow

I can't decide between 2 and 3. I have never been so invested in a season of anime as 3. Stress and tears. But without season 2 it never would mean as much.The growth in season 2 makes me a proud mama bear.

Luna Meow

i can see both sides. The theme with season is growth. Our boys are "from the concrete" and have to work that much harder to grow. Hiniata is the "sun" his passion and drive, is the catalyst to better themselves too.Last season the sun was blinding our opponents,this season making the team grow stronger

bebe

lmao that must be the joke of the century

Izaya

yeah and like, Kageyama and Hinata are two childs themselves so...

Sandi

I don’t want another movie. I want more seasons:(

I'm sorry Diana 😔😔

OoBeRoN Yordanov

DUDE I LOVE HOW MUTCH YOU GIYS ARE LOVING THIS TRANING ARC, ''dude fuck one piece, lets watch that'' felt soooo good to hear. ( i always know Mckay is a rat tho) xD

༒ dianna ༒

Also the way I keep biting my tongue about the fact that theres one more reason thats gonna make Brig love Oikawa even more (if you know don’t comment it) I already told him to be patient and wait till they finish the anime and the movie. Probably should wait even more 💀🫢

༒ dianna ༒

Im grabbing part of my comment from 1x19-20 to reaffirm why Toto is my goat. The second I started this show I immediately liked 2 setters (Suga and Tobio) then I met Oikawa, and I was literally mesmerized by his presence, no cap. Not only do I believe that if I was a Volleyball player I'd like to be a setter, but I find a lot of myself, personality wise, in a couple setters in the show, specially Oikawa. A lot of people miss how complex of a character he is bc they can’t see past his “childish and petty behavior” when there is a lot more to him. He is dedicated, passionate, hard working, he is ambitious and powerful, he has both a inferiority and superiority complex that work simultaneously, I love how strongly he feels his emotions and we get to see them. Just him accepting to give Kageyama a little bit of help here is a testament to how far he’s come. I love setters so much, and I love that the word is a lot more meaningful in Spanish "armador" it's exactly that , an orchestra's director, everything goes through them, they make every single player's ability come together for the symphony, and seeing Kenma in previous eps use that pretty big brain of his and Oikawa's mastermind is what made me fall in love with Setters. Oikawa has all my respect because while Kageyama and Kenma are geniuses with a lot of talent he’s earned it every step of the way.

༒ dianna ༒

Well EVERY Bokuto comment in the past reaction WAS a joke. Idk what you’re talking about.

Not every retard getting upset is joking. It’s not just this anime it goes for One piece, Naruto and any other anime they’re watching. Always some loser getting butt hurt.

Wait actually? What makes you think they don't enjoy it? Or were you being sarcastic?

Juliette85

Riley

“Can’t go wrong with going home to play Vault of Glass.” Carter you killed me bro 🤣 Rip Destiny 1. I will forever grieve it’s loss and my Vision of Confluence

Juanca

It might be totally unrelated, but every time I watch Haikyuu reactions, I can't help but wonder: "Is Brig reminded of his practice sessions and tournaments? Does watching this make him want to play tennis again? Does it cross his mind, even for just a second?"

bella

well, the mangaka has said Kageyama and Hinata are friends, best friends even, and they understand each other best out of anyone else, but it's not a conventional type of friendship. there's rivalry and partnership within that friendship too, but it is a friendship. Oikawa is an incredible setter, and an all around good player. Ukai described him as probably the best all around player in the prefecture, but ultimately what makes him the perfect setter is his ability to bring out the best in his team while also pushing them to be better, both things go hand in hand, and for all of his complaining, he did actually give Kageyama insanely good advice lmao. he's the goat frfr

Ale

Yeah, he is my second fave. I'm not hating on him lol

Luna Meow

He's falling into every new ep of Haikyu, is now my favorite ep. Because the're all so good.

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

I love the conflicts in Haikyuu because they're so realistic! Both Kageyama and Hinata were making fair points in their fight and they both are seeking to improve/do things differently after!

Luna Meow

Gek's getting invested in the character's now. There love ep that are just training, while in first season they hated them. Wonder if they re-watch those ep now if they feel same way, now that characters mean something to them.

botanbutton

Considering Ale's pfp, I think they mean loser in an endearing way. Like, he's a lame volleyball nerd who can be childish and goofy despite his apparent greatness, talent, athleticism, and drive. That's literally why he's such a well-liked character.

Luna Meow

Why Grampa Ukai could understand Hinata as a spiker so easily.Ends up coaching him, while Ukai as a setter works with Kagemaya.Small things like this makes the characters pop off the screen to me.

vally

Saying he’s a massive loser is kinda mean though 😂 He’s only a 17/18 year old dude and is hella petty.

Ghedo

You cant just switch Teams or aquire new players in Japan because Club activties are always centered around the school they go to, they would have to switch schools to switch teams. Also the training has just started ;)

Ale

Yeah as Kai said, he is childish, or as his nephew said lame lol He is one of my favorites and I find that part of his personality to be very charming tho. No hate on the guy or anything

Izaya

correction: Karasuno won their first practice match against Aoba in season 1. Oikawa came in at the end but they still won the match

Izaya

the training arc from the first half of season 2 is a fan favorite arc for many reasons. The vibe of this whole part is very unique. It would be a little boring if we only had matches for 20 episodes straight

Nash

He’s my favourite character and I don’t think he’s a massive loser tbh

jrnoodles

Thank you! I like Hinata's energy. It's fresh. Also, I kept my promise McKay! I noticed right away you weren't there.

kai

ig cause he’s childish but that’s literally apart of his personality and what makes him so likeable so idk

Amna 🍉

I love how hyped Jackson gets while watching haikyuu😭

Nah coach ukai is also really GOATED

I watched this before going to bed last night and I am rewatching again while drinking my morning matcha 🍵🙈 I CAN’T WAIT FOR TOMORROW 🥹

my day becomes better when there is a haikyuu upload

Nash

Bruh some of these comments are sending me bc of “Mckei”😭😭😭 did Cannon finally beat the Tsukki allegations? 😭

bateman bookworm

it’s just not the same without mckays judgmental laughs 😞😭

M2GZ

Haikyuu commenters try not to spoil challenge IMPOSSIBLE

Brig Andrus

How is he a loser exactly?

Ale

Also, liking Oikawa implies that you have to come to terms with the fact that he is a massive looser but also a pretty cool guy 😂

Ale

As much as I understand Kageyama's pov, I still can't agree with him, even 10 years later lol. He is being selfish for no reason. They practicing a new way of doing the quick doesn't mean they can't practice any other attack, it also doesn't mean they will stop doing their weird quick. Hinata wants to improve his own abilities to help the team more. He more than anyone realize that his weird quick lose effectiveness with teams of higher level. Lev was able to stop it in just a few plays, for example. Hinata, albeit very poorly worded, was just saying his concerns out loud and it always bothers me that Kageyama calls him selfish for that, but isn't your teammates personal improvement also good for the team? I've never play any sport competitive so maybe my vision is narrowed but I really don't see the problem. As Brig said, there is no better time to do something new but during practice time. Unfortunately Hinata got his idea shut down by 3 setters, so of course they will have the same opinion. One thing I like tho is that Ukai actually decides to take Hinata with his grandpa. Ukai is also a novice when it comes to coach so leaving something that's going over you to someone else is a huge step and he even learned something else to teach the other guys, like the tempo thing. I think I went all over places but yeah, just want to get this out of my chest haha. I'm so unbelievable excited for the next 2 episodes, they are about my favorite character in the whole show!!!

alexis ♡︎

mckei i’m done 😂

bondbond53

Oikawa is a cutie and also good with kids? I mean his whole camera roll is filled with his nephew. My heart can't take it <3

Side note, cannon is looking flame 🔥

Osiris704

McKay character arc finna go crazy once we get to these tourney games🤣

Jenny D

Love the reactions! And, Karasuno actually won the practice match againt Aobai Joshai. I love the training ARC! So, in answer to Jackson's question about them being the only one out of town thats because they are participating in the Tokoyo teams training camp. They mention before that when Karasuno started to not win as much, they lost a lot of the relationships they had for practice matches. So, Nekoma's coach was nice enough to let them participate in their training camp. I love watching the characters evolve. I was so excited to see Coach Ukai helping Hinata. I feel like he could have also helped the whole team, but I get why they mostly focused on Hinata since he's the one who needs the most work. I'm excited for Thursday's episode reaction!

Sasha

I feel like the energy of hatred was missing on the couch today

Moon

Cannon calling Bokuto the "Wolverine Xmen dude" had me in stitches HELP And seeing Cannon and Carter's contrasting needs for the pacing of the anime is so funny. I'm so glad that someone likes the more chill and downtime side of Haikyuu because it really does make you feel like you're getting new sides to some characters! "Everyone seems to be wholesome for the most part" That's the beauty of Haikyuu. There are no "enemies" like there are in shounen or action anime. It's a story grounded in reality, despite the slightly exaggerated abilities of the geniuses and athletic monsters. It's why so many people love Haikyuu! "Why isn't Dateko there?" To put it simply, Karasuno are the only team that have the privilege of joining the Fukurodani Academy Group's practice matches. The group consists of four strong teams from Tokyo (Nekoma, Shinzen, Ubugawa, and Fukurodani), and they play together for practice because their teams have had connections with each other that go way back when Coach Nekomata was younger. To get in, you need the invite of one of the teams in the group, which Coach Nekomata did for Karasuno. Dateko, being a team situated in the Miyagi prefecture, doesn't have the same long-standing connection with Nekoma(old rivals), so naturally, they don't get an invite and are not practicing with those teams! Also... Those predictions have me screeching

vally

I completely agree also I also just love, love Kageyamas and Oikawas relationship, because it’s just so unique and deep. You can just really tell how Oikawa is like an idol to Kageyama, and everyone is calling Kags a genius but what does it say about Oikawa that a genius like Kags looks up to him? And the interesting part is that Oikawa doesn’t see it like that, for him Kageyama is a threat and who only gets better and better, while he has his limits. Just shows how good of a setter Oikawa is, that Kags keep reaching out for him and is so emotional bound to him. So in conclusion: Oikawa = 🐐

Hem-ehem

Disc? What do you mean?

anji banji

Mckei skipping the reaction like Tsukki skipping individual practice.

Mia Malvik

Love Kags being psycho

If you are enjoying the training arc so much right now, then the next episodes are gonna be crazy. The dynamics and evolution that happens in those episodes is so good.

Who knows

Loving the reactions of everyone, can’t wait for more!!

@Anaya you'll love it! Its similar to haikyuu. Kuroko no basket used to be my goat until I watched S4 of haikyuu, but it still holds a very special place in my heart <3

Great comment!

She's so adorable 😭 her smile at 37:34 is precious

Yeah but the training arc isn’t over yet. The next part is wayy enjoyable

yio

I love this show so much 😭

and i really do understand hinata's pov, he just want to be able to be a member on the court without having to rely on someone else

bebe

see what we were saying, season 2 is fan fav because of the training arc. we enjoyed it very much

Heretic Rawdog

Don’t tell them already

Süm

Also, Furudate once said Oikawa is one of his favorite characters to draw because his range between "lame" and "cool" is amazing lol.

A_Daddy Daichi

Wait actually kind of same. I feel like I’m a mix of daichi, kageyama and asahi lol. leader, bossy & anxious haha

Nash

Love this comment

Patriicia

oh I hope he returns! He would miss out the epic peak that awaits them

Ayaulym🇰🇿

This just made my day a 100 times better))) Btw I don't think yall realize how special Oikawa is. He one in a thousand type of setter. Extremely self less in terms of Volleyball, smart, agile and ready to bring out the best out of the players even if it goes against his own potential. So I am glad that Kageyama listened to his advice since he is the best setter to be giving out them. I also think about what Carter said about this being one of the best training arcs ver is due to relatability. We don't have chakra or ODM gear in real life, but all of us have played a sport and handled a ball. This training arc is very grounded in reality and actually makes sense while also being a huge progress. All the ides to change (like Asahi's jump serve, Nishinoya's toss, etc) didn't come out of nowehere. We as viewer, just like characters, saw how these moves affected the game when the opponents did them. So it's really satisfying to see how those seeds of ideas were not only planted but finally started to grow

Süm

That Oikawa and Kageyama interaction will always be hilarious to me lol. I am glad everyone realized Oikawa said the same thing as the old coach Ukai. He really has that much knowledge sometimes people miss that. Carter saying this is his favorite training arc made me happy. Furudate really knows how to make training arcs enjoyable.

Mariacake

They’re fast and real, not like the Kyoko fan girls Yachi imagined 🤣

Mariacake

They immediately knew why Oikawa is best setter and 🐐🥹

Mariacake

Yes yes! I was so happy hearing Carter express his thoughts about it! I think what makes Haikyuu’s training arc special is that it connects to us - they’re not out there trying to kill all the titans or mastering some ninja stuff, they’re high schoolers who are driven to be stronger in volleyball and we can related to that! The conflict was relatable and the whole vibe just felt so sincere 🥺

greyxwaren

bokuto fans got him :(

greyxwaren

if it's gonna make shonen meatheads mad im all for it lol

Mariacake

Yes yes, Dateko is in Miyagi like Karasuno- Dateko isn’t related to any of the Tokyo schools/teams and Karasuno was invited to the training camp the 4 Tokyo schools have bec Nekoma’s coach is friends/rivals with Coach Ukai (Grampa Ukai). That’s why Takeda-sensei was trying to get Keishin Ukai to coach the team in the 1st season, it’s bec his last name will help with connections.

greyxwaren

im the opposite i was frustrated with everyone around him like why is no one willing to help him, it was supposed to be a time for training but somehow everyone was fine just staying stagnant and keep things the way they are also @marlon how is asking to be trained selfish? he's not saying he wants to do things on his own, he was asking to improve on the one aspect that costed a game they could've won. plus the timing of this was not during the tournament, they have around a month before the tournaments it's the perfect time to be "selfish"

Harrison Hird

Great comment!

greyxwaren

i think they're under the impression the tournament is next lol someone explained it in the comments and the next episodes will clear things up for sure

Christine

Love McKei 😂🙌

Mariacake

I am loving the comments section. I read all the comments below 🥹😭 a bit sad that “McKei” wasn’t around. Can’t wait for Thursday!!! 😭 I love that Brig wanted to watch more. I rewatched Haikyuu so many times and I even named my cats after Hinata and Kageyama 🤣 their fur is the same color as the character’s hair. Anyway, I just want to say how inspiring grandpa Ukai is to me, he is fit/active and surrounded by people, doing what he likes - volleyball and passing on wisdom to younger generations. 🥹 I want to grow old like that.

For sure he was out of line. I was more so saying his why behind it. Kageyama disregarded Hinata right away. They were both wrong and right at the same time.

edited it to make it look even more like an essay lmaoo

one little detail i loved about this whole conflict between kageyama and hinata is hinata being shut down immediately by 3 setters (ukai, suga and kageyama) because they see things differently. gramps ukai and oikawa saw the need for hinata to improve on his own because they can detach themselves from one specific position and looking at the stats of the game as whole. oikawa was even praised for bringing the best out of his spikers for that exact reason. another thing that i think factored into the conflict was the rush to get better whilst maintaining order within the team. everyone knew they were lacking but were kind of scared of trying anything new that will disrupt the balance they had going on, and only moved into action when hinata was the first one who showed his greed to get better. that moment with asahi lit fire under everyone's ass I also love this part of haikyuu because of how realistic it is, the emotion, the drama and the improvement the characters go through. the show could've easily went your usual anime route and had unrealistic attacks. they could've made hinata have unltra instinct and just senses balls immediately and called it a day. They showed realistically what that "freak quick" really was in real terms, we didn't have to suspend our beliefs, or do mental gymnastics to understand. that goes for a lot of plays that happen from here on out, gramps ukai kind of conditions you (especially if you don't know anything about volleyball prior to this) to pay attention to different plays rationally and to pay attention to what makes them special. haikyuu gets better the more you watch because it gets more complex and high risk as you go. (I love episodes 5&6 if you couldn't tell aha)

Marlon

He was out of line. You cant be that selfish when you're part of a team. Still understandable but he definitely needed a talking to

Marlon

I cannot wait for THAT episode man...

Mariacake

McKei 🤣🤣🤣

Marlon

Also has the best animation out of anything theyve watched id say (not counting movies)

Balzhan

I love those episodes! During my first time watch, when Hinata bumped into Asahi I felt so much secondhand embarrassment😂 and rewatching it recently, I liked that moment a lot. Sometimes greed can take you to a big progress, just not toxic greed😅

Ozmoes Meta

disc? so weird for me to ask this here lol

Hem-ehem

Hahah awesome!

Nico

Oikawa my goattttttttt now you guys know!!

corLeonis

So true 🤣🤣🤣

Ladnon

NEED another Haikyuu drop this week!!

Hem-ehem

With all the jokes about Cannon being Tsukishima just because he said "It's just volleyball, ". Actually McKay is the one 🤣 He has the potential in seriously loving this show but so far not as energetic as other Geks heheh Okay. I think I'm done with this video. It was very satisfying to watch those Haikyu episodes again and seeing you guys reaction and input on this one. Thank you! Wrote too many comments and too much this time 😅 It's cause I'm excited for the progression lol Can't wait for Thursday.!

Hem-ehem

Yachi's "O-kay!" 👍😁 I've added something to mine too.

Hem-ehem

Yep! Oikawa is the GOAT. The anime did say he's an awesome all rounder. To add to that he is very observant and able to understand each player , their personalities, their POVs..even of his opponents.

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨

@Hem-ehem I kinda thought so! But I wasn't sure if that was my projecting or not, lmao - I'll edit that though~

Hem-ehem

Thanks! I don't watch any other shows here so I didn't know 😅 I'm glad he's not actually leaving Haikyu lol

vally

The interesting thing is that Kageyama, Suga and Ukai said that Hinata shouldn‘t try something different and all of them are setters! They lack the view of a spiker and that’s why they couldn’t understand Hinata and didn’t support him (initially)

kai

after doing some reviewing i feel like im so kageyama coded 🤓

Hem-ehem

It's not just Japanese. Other/ almost all Asian countries beckon others like that too.

Hem-ehem

Yep. Somehow I'm being reminded of S2 ep 3-4, where Hinata pulls Yachi's hand to run to the train station for them to catch her mom to tell her about being the manager.. Yachi said she felt like she's in a Shojo Manga lol. Shojo manga are for girls, mainly romantic stories lol

vally

Cannon your hairstyle atm 🤌🏼

Elina

LMAO i see it

Hem-ehem

Oh okay then. I don't watch any other shows here so I didn't know. Hope he's okay work, health wise. I hope he catches up on these episodes on his own because these episodes will give better impact on the coming episodes especially the matches ie training, real matches whatever..

Ron Jackson Jr

Tennis 🎾

Justin Ohhh

Btw I believe Haikyuu is considered a shonen

Hem-ehem

45:27 Carter " Call me crazy, ... my favorite training arc of any anime" 😲 Wow This shows you're loving this show! And Brig wanting to continue watching Haikyu after ep 6! Yes!! 😁 Love your discussions after the watch!!

HeavenlyR

I'd give it to Oikawa because of what he did in the final chapter

peachy af

What sport did he play again? He gives me baseball vibes

kai

nvm i just thought about it that mf petty asf

peachy af

"Frick one piece lets keep watching this" HAIKYUU IS COOKIN

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨

Such a small thing, but to answer Jacks question - Kenma calling someone over with his palm facing downward is just one of those particularly Japanese (/Asian) gestures (similar to Nami's money sign that was asked about before) and serves the same function as palm facing upward and beckoning someone over. Though come to think of it I do find it a bit funny it was noticed on Kenma in particular, because some people compare the gesture to a makineko's (the lucky cat figures and such) wave, and they are Nekoma afterall Also excited to see the upcoming camp reactions and watch some diff charas get a bit of spotlighting too! 👀

Di

The next 2 episodes was impressive！My favourite character Tsuki！！！

Hem-ehem

33:30 Ukai here reminds me of Doc Brown from that old Back to the Future movie hahahah

Ozmoes Meta

I’m excited for them to watch the next two episodes!! So hype. Also Dateko and karasuno aren’t from the same prefecture as nekoma and the other teams in Tokyo

Secretly

They sent him to the shadowrealm

Hem-ehem

27:53 Oikawa !! Giving advice to his junior, Kageyama. I love this moment! First season, we saw the emphasis on Kageyama being the genius setter. Because of Hinata's lack of experience & skill between the two, we accept him as the leader in the duo. This episode tells us, the leader in the attacks is.. the spiker. If Kageyama realizes this, it should make Kageyama more open to Hinata's technical suggestions in future. And Oikawa's scenes like this have always make me laugh 🤣

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨

It was just a joke! Hes been absent for some other videos too

gina

Hey hey hey~

gina

Immediately waiting as soon as we finish watching haha

gina

It’s good :)

jessiefungirl

i didn't even think about ukai as a setter...

Brig Andrus

This show is so relatable it’s crazy. I get PTSD/nostalgia all the time 😂

jessiefungirl

jack, karasuno won the practice match against aoba johsai, but oikawa let them know it wouldn't happen if he were there from the start (not sure if that's what you meant)

jessiefungirl

just like tsukki not practicing... cannon this is your chance! mckay (kei) tsukishima it is

Joydan Bri’an

exactly!!!! 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

jessiefungirl

nice kill 😔

jessiefungirl

huh... real close ngl, bro is peak troll

snowy

dateko isn’t there bc the training camp is a group of schools from tokyo (Karasuno and dateko are not from tokyo) and karasuno only got in bc of connections(Nekoma’s coach)

jessiefungirl

my 🐐

pyx

@mckay no more skipping, I'm too invested in your char development

A_Daddy Daichi

you think so? I’d say it’s afo

Hem-ehem

20:30 I've read a clip of an interview with Furudate, the writer. Hinata & Kageyama are friends. I think he said "best friends who cares for each other" In this scene, Kageyama is being more careful especially after that weekend's practice matches, them being the worse there, he is concerned too about Spring Tournament but he made his decision on what he's able to see of them. Not willing to take chances like Hinata is. Which is unfortunate here. Kageyama is not a warm person. He's very blunt who just do not know how to socialize well. Hinata accepts Kageyama being like that. Just how Hinata accepts how Kenma is, an introvert boy. Hinata is actually Kageyama's first friend. What makes them bond is the love and drive in volleyball as we all can see.

A_Daddy Daichi

I agree with Carter. Definitely my favorite training arc of all anime that I’ve seen

tskjn

Rip mckay the first man we lost in haikyuu

A_Daddy Daichi

Yes! So good

peachy af

RIGHT i find it extremely satisfying to watch

alexis ♡︎

HA i loveee these reactions, oikawa is the definitionnn of “he knows ball” 😭

Joydan Bri’an

i’ve only seen a few episodes but i think it’s pretty good so i wouldn’t mind voting for it. my issue with blue lock is that it has A LOT of inner dialogue, which is a trope the boys have complained about in the past. and the animation is a bit wonky lol. i hope season 2 is a bit better with that

Sandi

I have a secret🫣 I skipped these episodes when I first watched haikyuu. I found it to be great background noise tho. I miss oikawa

kai

oikawa might be pettier than afo (mha fans know)

Osiris704

Based on your discussions of this training arc, I think y'all would really like Mob Psycho 100. It's created by ONE (the creator of One Punch Man). Like Haikyu, it promotes the idea of self-development and perseverance which is a lost-theme in a lot of anime these days.

jessiefungirl

unnecessarily clean. i don't think it's rotoscoped...? (i'm no expert either) even tho the way kageyama's hands are blurred after the first throw give me that vibe

gina

I love them so much~!!

Joydan Bri’an

i just had to comment on your pfp cause that manhwa is literally my favorite

jessiefungirl

40:44 ☠

Tina L

Which is your favorite: Training Arcs or Tournament Arcs?

Elle B.

LOVE the training Hinata does with Coach Ukai. This anime (to me) is a masterclass in character development. It’s done in such a believable and grounded way. And it’s rewarding too as a viewer!

jailynn custodia!!

i love how carter always has a new favorite arc or episode like every single video 😭😭

Ron Jackson Jr

im glad Brig’s can relate to what it feels to train yourself harder that's dope.

Joydan Bri’an

i haven’t seen a lot of people talk about it but the animation of hinata’s and kageyama’s fight is so good and the movement is smooth. its such a little thing but i have to appreciate it every time. it looks like they rotoscoped it with how fluid it is but idk much about the animation process so i could be wrong

Dakota

yeah so just some clarification for you guys, they'll probably explain it a bit better in the next few episodes, but this next part of the show, like the teacher said, is continuing the practice stuff. They have another week long training camp in Tokyo with Nekoma and those other schools. Nekoma and the other schools are in a group that always train together. The group is called the Fukurodani Training group, and the schools are Nekoma, Fukurodani, Shinzen, and Ubugawa. Coach Nekomata invited Karasuno to join them for the training camp. Schools like Date Tech and Aoba Jousai aren't related in any way to Nekoma, so that's why they aren't there. If Carter enjoyed this little training arc, he'll love the next one!

Ale

When you think training arc has finished but a training camp will start next episode lol I'm sleepy, but I had to watch this, these 2 episodes are intense and I'm glad you guys enjoy them. I miss McKay tho 😢

corLeonis

and now we wait for the next episodes 😅

Wictor Whiskey Ahlund

McKay proclaims his dislike for Bokuto and next thing you know he's mysteriously gone? Those Haikyuu superfans are thorough.

gina

OIKAWA ON TOP~

botanbutton

Forego sleep for Haikyuu? Yes, I think I will. Watching wearing my new Oikawa shirt :D

gina

This is also my fav training arc of any anime! But this is also my fav anime lol. The guys have great predictions as always, they’re even unintentionally predicting things haha iykyk! SO excited for the next one, I hope they post early on Thursday!!

Taylynn

YESSSSS TRAINING CAMPPP one of the best arcs in the show, because of so many aspects of it, i think you guys will really enjoy it

Hem-ehem

Or is this a joke of McKay pulling out of Haikyu? I'll start watching it now . I stopped at 1:33.

jessiefungirl

cannon with the foresight

idk

I don’t think he actually left, I think he was just away for this video but will be back for more

VIcK

Rip Mckay, it’s just starting to get good too

Hem-ehem

McKay, I'm going to miss you being there.. It's too bad I won't be seeing your journey in Haikyu viewing. Season 1 was a nice season but Season 2 is where it starts to get better, Season 3 was where I hope you'll see why I really love this show! About Bokuto, tbh I don't see the reactions in the comments as serious. I see them as half joking. I was actually chuckling a bit reading them because as people who've watched Haikyu enough, at the end of the day, we know you'll be at least be okay with Bokuto. Each character has a reason being there. I'm also not a fan of Bokuto at first but after seeing it till the end, I appreciate his existence and character. He's a good guy. Can't say anything more to avoid giving spoilers lol

A_Daddy Daichi

Lil’ yachi is so pure. I love her

Giuliano Venturo Gonzales

Bro went from "I don't think a sport anime could be interesting" to "One piece? Let's keep watching this" XD this is why reactions are way more exciting, having someone who doesn't like a thing... To get into it. I hope you guys even get into completely different animes like romance animes, or even horror animes

idk

And carter this is my favourite training arc too! And maybe I misunderstood your guys discussion but the training arc hasn’t ended. It’s still ongoing so there’s way more room for development. But I’m glad you like it this far!

idk

Also if you notice when hinata was getting grilled by suga, kageyama, and ukai at camp it was because they couldn’t understand his pov because they’re all setters and hinata is a spiker. Oikawa was the only one that mastered the understanding of playing for your spiker and seeing their pov because he’s the setter that gave a different pov that catered towards benefiting his player. Oikawa the 🐐

Zakki

ughhhhhh these reactions are so good!!! i'm dying for the rest of the training arc

Hem-ehem

I was just going to make a comment before watching this, that I really like all of GEKs reactions. I love Jack, Cannon and Carter's enthusiasm and Cannon even went to watch his sister's volleyball match and appreciating the sport. I love McKay's view and honesty and Brig's liking it too ! Him liking Oikawa is just awesome! It's just too bad McKay left. It's getting better and was actually excited for all of you to get there.

7 7

FYI aibou in Japanese is specifically used to indicate someone who's one and only to you. I personally think it weighs more than just as describing Kageyama and Hinata as friends/teammates (of course those things are also part of the "aibou" relationship). I guess that's why Yachi is really touched by the words which Hinata chooses to identify Kageyama's position.

farkzzy

YEAHHHHH

Brig Andrus

Yesssssssir!!

A_Daddy Daichi

I will say I was frustrated with Hinata at first but I just didn’t understand what he was doing. I probably didn’t want to understand him. Mans just wants to improve and what better setting to try new things than at practice matches designed to make you better??

Aiza

I am at work 😿

Melizé

YESSSSSS

Taylor Blackwell

“JK he’s just gone.” Lmao I was like “no shot he actually bailed” 😂 Even if he didn’t like it, the names “Anime HATERS watch…” If he really didn’t like it he’d have to watch it even more 🫠
