44:59 “he better be bad at volleyball” 😂😂😂 who’s gonna tell him
44:30 IKR
been enjoying your haikyuu reactions a lot!! got yourself a new subscriber 😀
Also just a side note, sure Hinata served to the back of Kageyama's head but Kageyama has hit Hinata in the face multiple times too at this point lol. I'd say he's just evening out the score 😜
"Who's #5?"
camera pans to Hinata in #5
THE SILENCE WAS SO LOUD LMFAOOOOO
Oikawa is my absolute favorite character, which is a bit of a controvertial opinion because there's a lot of people that don't like him 😅 So many reactors I've watched also don't like him but I think he's a very complex character and I can't wait for you to see more of him in future episodes 🤗
u headshot ur ally, high five
"HE'S BEAUTIFUL" RIGHT??? HE IS SO BEAUTIFYL EVEN HIS CHARACTER I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
I don’t care about the guys mentioning that the manger is hot or making jokes or whatever. There’s nothing wrong with being attracted to people. To my knowledge it never gets out of hand or takes away from the main story in this show the way it does in some others. What really bothers me in these sports shows is how they seem to just shove random girl characters in that don’t need to be there or have no personality or literally just exist to be a love interest for the MC. I’d rather have no female characters than some of the piss poor examples we have in other shows. I’m looking at you Aoashi.
I must be no better than high-school boys because I find kiyoko so beautiful too 🤣. I love her! I have no problem with how the boys talk about girls in this show because it's always respectful. They're high-school kids, of course they're talking about who they find attractive. You can clearly see the same thing when the girls talk about oikawa 🤣.
the jokes about kiyoko are just highschool stuff but you open the door to a really important discussion about the way anime portrays women in general. if we just take the first time she gets to the gym as an example, the first shots are a close up ass shot followed by a close up boob and neck shot. same for the girl that was talking to teamdaddy in the shcool hallway, first thing we see is an upskirt shot. it's something I tolerate in anime because I love this medium but it irritates me everytime. It has no cinematic purpose but to sexualise female caracters and appeal to the male audience. It's the whole basis of "Fan Service" there is some situations where it's done "tastefully" but it's really something I would love to see less and less of.
Thank you for sharing your persinal experiences and insights, I feel they add so much value to the reaction, and help me see this show in a new light and context. It's really cool to hear that so much of the interactions and emotions depicted have elements of truth to them, like hearing about the way you and your teammates interact during a match and how they show it in the episode. Also, your commentary is very entertaining! I'm kind of dying over here at your animosity toward Tsukki 😂 also fun fact about Yamaguchi, apparently his voice actor, when asked to describe his character on a radio show replied "Likes Tsukki very much". Which isn't his whole personality (Yamaguchi is actually my favorite character in the series, once he gets a chance to develop later on) but totally sums him up at this point of the series!
Also oh man so many comments during your reaction that totally will come back around sooner or later! Won't point them out because that would verge on spoilery, but definitely a lot of fun and anticipation for future episodes! This series is just…so good, so so good. You really hit the nail on the head, the action of the matches are good but it's the character interactions that really amp up the emotional investment!
When Tanaka says how lovely Shimizu is that's totally fine in my book. He's very respectful and is not being nasty about it and also he knew her for a while, they have rapport. But the other high schoolers come across as yucky to me… a certain yellow jacket the most.
Just FYI, "Aoba Johsai" and "Seijo" mean same school which Oikawa belongs. "Seijo (青城)" is the shortened name of "Aoba Johsai (青葉城西)” so it is like between "Bill" and "William" in English. I know it is complicated but Chinese characters in Japanese language have many ways to read. Especially proper nouns are always hard even for native Japanese since there are no certain rules of how to read.
BTW you will soon know that Haikyuu has rivals but no villains. The fact makes us so happy.
I am eagerly awaiting the moment he inevitably changes his mind about Tsukishima
Your backstory really parallels one of the characters 😊
The character's names on that game plan sheet, first name then last name, are:
Chikara Ennoshita
Kei Tsukishima
Tobio Kageyama
Daichi Sawamura
Shoyou Hinata
Ryuunosuke Tanaka
WS= Wing Spiker
MB= Middle Blocker
S= Setter
In Japan, most people are called by their last names. If you are using someone's first name, it typically implies that you have a closer, friendlier relationship with them. This is a standard but not a rule, so sometimes people will use the first name of someone but use an honorific to show higher respect. Daichi-san, is an example of that here. Hope that kinda helps lol~
You're gonna really like Yamaguchi
hearing your story in this ep, I can already imagine you shedding a river of tears in the later seasons.
Holy shit I played basketball for USC 2010/11 haha what are the chances. For some reason it feels strange to see gang from the coast on youtube. Anyway, keep it up brother 👊
18:36 very good analysis and not only because it is precise but the way you think about it has a nice perspective and personal experience, glad you shared with us. Thanks and good video as always.
“Maybe they don’t have a libiro” oh I can’t wait
Daichi is Sawamura. And yes, Sawamura is his last name.
Also, Seijoh is top 4 in the prefecture and not in whole Japan. More on regional/district level.
