On my first watch, I really liked the anime from the start but this episode made me go "oh shit this is not another shounen anime, this is special". It is just so real, becoming discouraged by training, giving it all but thats not being enough on the floor, having regrets after. These are all human emotions and writer gives us a reality check beautifully, "we may be following Karasuno as protaganists and we won but in reality there will only be 1 winner from this tournament, everyone else will lose and thats ok, thats the nature of sport". Its so good!

GOATED EPISODE

Karabo

There's many "Inflection" or turning points in this show, for me that winners and losers section was the first real one. Yeah our boys are on the journey to the top but the reality of sports is that someone has to lose, someone has to have their dreams cut short. This show took the time to acknowledge the losers to acknowledge the reality.. It's shit like this that makes Haikyuu so GOATED

One of Haikyuu’s many charms is that literally any team can be the main characters. Even the teams that show up only briefly. Furudate gave each and every character such life, with their own dreams and goals that you can’t help but root for them all.

That montage still hits even after seeing it 100 times. It's incredibly well done and everybody who played any sports at any level can feel it. "Why am I cheering for the other team" yeah..welcome to haikyuu brothers

At 18:33, If I remember correctly, the gymnasiums where the tournaments are held were actually based off of the real ones, in this case, Sendai City Gymnasium. And the ‘weird wall-face decoration’ is actually real 🤣

The first half of this episode made me cry a bit because reminded me of how I loved to play volleyball. Not even to win, I just liked to be on court or the sand playing, receiving, spiking or serving. But the feeling of leave the court because our team lost was always melancholic to me somehow. I have a hard time expressing myself or understanding how I really feel, but the montage of this episode was the first time I actually understood that sadness was what I was feeling. Also brought back nostalgia. I wish to play even more someday, but cannot find the right people or even the nerves to get out of the house. Volleyball is amazing, man, I miss playing and having fun
