Mariacake

???

I’m Tired

💯

joanie

Illumi

I miss ya'll already T_T

kkcat

upvote!

swizur

Im gonna be sad for real 🥹 the comment section of Haikyuu is really fun

corLeonis

Last time waiting in a previous hq post...... how we feelin

peachy af

was cool to keep going on voting for haikyuu to win with you guys and now we're almost finished :'))

bearuber

😭

Mariacake

Stop don’t make me sad 😭😭

Illumi

My last comments-section-waiting-room moment (until the next movie releases) 🥺 It’s been wonderful hanging out with you all 🫶🏻🫰🧡

Mariacake

I think it’s today. That’s what they implied last week. Hope it is 🥺

Mariacake

:"The Haikyu movie and the Cinema Gek movie series will be next week, and Severance will be later this week."....si i hope its gonna drop today although they didnt say specifically which day but I think it should be today cause Tuesday is a Haikyu day

Patriicia

Wait are we actually getting the movie today ?

Nash

oh noooo, todays drop is gonna be the last till the next movie release.. Im so sad its over, but it was great, to watch Geks slowly starting to like the show more and more, getting hyped over the games and really just enjoying the show. Im so happy I could watch it again with you♥ and I am so excited to watch the movie agaaain

Patriicia

Excited for the movie!

Jenny D

Yes I believe so

Avery Nordbye

such a great show

boop

Aren't we getting the movie today?

Ran Yus

Facts !! Very very true.

Juanca

oh shit i meant tuesday my bad

peachy af

Guys, I only just got paid and my account hadn't been able to re-sub my subscription until today. Just came back to the end (nearly) of Haikyuu, plus Mob Psycho AND Sakamoto Days?? What a time to be alive! But I'm soooo heartbroken Haikyuu is nearly over :'( Haikyuu gang, it's been real <3

MissJodles

I think its tuesday

Illumi

Is today the movie or Thursday?

peachy af

I think you'd love Ace of Diamond!! It's a lot more realistic (like Haikyuu) than for example Kuroko or Blue Lock and really really hype

velemon

Also would love to throw the name Baby Steps out there. Its a tennis anime and realistic in the same vein of haikyuu but does have a little more slice of life.

Isaiah

wow just commented the same thing , might be a pipe dream but its one of the highest rated oat so hopefully some more patrons talk about it and it ends up on a poll!

Isaiah

Hajime no ippo is the only sports anime I can say that holds a candle to haikyuu for me personally and Ive seen tons. Absolute banger eps to end the season

Isaiah

I'M TOO EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE REACTION!!!!! Hope they wont forget the post credit scene pleaseeeeeee

corLeonis

Idk whether this is legit but I’ll just believe it 😭https://x.com/anirave/status/1878495149665165444?s=46

Nash

its gotta be at least 3 hours long idc idc

peachy af

so its most likely coming next year if its not over 2 hours long they can keep it!

kai

I rather they leave the series unfinished then squeeze all that in 😭

kkcat

I wish the rumours are right 🥹. I still cant understand how they could squeeze around 80 chapters in just one movie...

Juanca

Just came from twitter and apparently the second movie is in production. Someone commented that since it doesn’t say finale it probably just means we’re getting THAT match only 😭 Imma be delusional and believe that too lmao

Nash

After the movie please have everyone build their own Haikyu dream team. 1 Setter 2 Middle Blockers 3 Wing Spikers and 1 Libero.

rac coun

I think the problem with stretching the show too much is that it would become way too hard to keep creating insane endings to the matches without getting a little bit repetitive. If you guys notice, every important match has a different type of ending until now

Almeida

I thought I was lucky cos I binge watched haikyuu when all four seasons were out but no the geks are the luckiest with everything plus the movie🤣

snowy

That is very true! I wouldn't be mad at all, I personally enjoyed Ace of Diamond more than Kuroko

Wictor Whiskey Ahlund

I hope they watch Hajime no ippo in the future, it is probably my favourity sport anime and it would be fun to see what they think of it compared to haikyu

Hej Hej

I just love how many people come into the Inarizaki match thinking "w/e this is just the match before Nekona" at first but end up having a heart attack in the final rally anyways 😂

kkcat

teams: inarizaki > aoba johsai > karasuno characters: ushiwaka = oikawa > atsumu honorable mentions: kageyama and hinata

kai

and i cant wait!

kai

Yes!! I feel like Ace of Diamond is most similar to Haikyuu. Plus it has more training and slice of life eps that they would love

joanie

Guys, just in case, when you watch the movie don't forget the post-credits scene.

Juanca

yeah fyi he plays tennis so yeah he's just a chill guy

Ron Jackson Jr

I love how Brig was so passionate during the end discussion. You can feel how he genuinely loves the show.

anji banji

idk i saw on twitter that patreon support sucks, some people even waited for months with no response despite sending multiple requests already. didn't expect this from them tbh

bokkun

Haikyuu was written and paced so well 😌 Furudate-sensei did such a good job!

Mariacake

I think that is one of the things that makes Haikyuu the top choice for sports anime - the show literally is centered on the sport, it touched on life stuff but it didn’t muddy the central theme. It’s not the kind of plot line where the MC had a fight with a girlfriend and couldn’t focus and lost kind of thing. It’s volleyball first and foremost then a sprinkle of here and there. 😌

Mariacake

Oh no, this is so sad 😢 how could they hate Haikyuu that much.. and yes I saw the negative comment below and just decided to ignore it bec I’m not giving any of my time and attention to someone who would go out of their way just to spread negativity 😤

Mariacake

Yes! And I think the humor is something they will like/understand. My husband whose anime choices are similar to the geks really liked My Love Story so yeah~ just putting this out there!!

Mariacake

First of all thank you boys for that expirience, rewatching it with you guys was amazing along side with that comyunithi that we have here. Weiting for evry episode was wurth it. Watching you guys from not enjoing the show it to loving it was amazing (expacially you McKay you fking rat) xD. thank you boys so mutch.

OoBeRoN Yordanov

You made me eat M&Ms when I saw that. Goodbye, diet. 🫥

Joie Dianzon 🇵🇭

1- Oikawa/Hinata 2- Atsumu 3- Kageyama It’s honestly so hard to rank the characters 😂

Nash

all of yall have goated lists, i love seeing variety in everyones’ top 3, shows how almost every character in haikyuu deserves that top 3 spot

Clover

Re-watching cuz I'm not ready for it to be over... I love Haikyuu so much and this journey with the Geks has been so fun...!

ginabella

Reminds me of when Daichi saw Kageyama, Hinata, Nishinoya and Tanaka playing near the gym at school during their New Year’s break 🥹 they all had their own thing going on but dropped by on the same place 🥺

Mariacake

I love that were all in the typical Thursday waiting room despite no haikyu episodes today. Rewatching with the geks and all of you in the comments has been so much fun. I'm so sad it's almost over 😭

Teaq

the rant at the end about got top 3s😭😭

anna

When cannon is back

Studio Geck

Still 1. Hinata 2. Oikawa 3. Iwaizumi/Daichi Teams 1. Karasuno 2. Nekoma 3. Aoba Johsai

TT1000

Agreed!

TT1000

I legitimately was angry when they announced movies instead of more seasons. I still haven't gotten over it. This is one of my favorite shows of all time and I can't believe they did us like that. While I liked the movie, it's just not the same. It's such a let down. But besides that, my feelings of vindication are at an all time high 😂. It's been my long standing opinion that anyone who loves and played sports will like Haikyuu. Even Mckay.... I was not surprised by your coming around at all.

Stairguy

Okay, Tsuki's last statement about speed is one of my favorites. Those two understand well because they experienced it in Aoba. Speed is cool and amazing, but it can be beaten by other weapons. I love how open minded the Geks are. They are thinking of what might happen if the seasons are many, the guy/s will fall in love and maybe Hinata will transfer and Atsumu will be his setter. They are very open to new events. :> Anyway, My top 3 are 1. Hinata 2. Kageyama 3. Miya Twins/Tsuki (I can't choose between these)

Bingsu

Mine is 1 HINATA SHOYOOOO 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ 2 Kuroo 3 Kenma or Kageyama, cant choose Teams I still dont know lol but I guess my top 2 would be Karasuno and Nekoma

CC

1. Kageyama 2. Atsumu 3. Hinata 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

Mia Malvik

This is really sad:(

Balzhan

That's already too long. I've worked for customer service for this type of company (not Patreon ofc) and usually the first email takes at max 48h to be responded (depending on the issue they give you a resolution or transfer you to another team) Try and reach back again, maybe it got lost bc of holidays(?

Ale

Read it!! At this point is not worth it being anime only since they can't include what's left in 1 single movie, so yes read it!! From vol 1 if you can, if not, you can start from 293 (that's when the Nekoma vs Karasuno match start but believe me, you need to read it, the movie is not enough)

Ale

😂😂 That's one way of putting it It's really good tho, I watched it while it was airing and I still hold it dear ❤️

Ale

when are we getting the OP and ED reactions?

Nash

about a week :( i see, thanks anyway!!

bokkun

sorry i wouldnt know bc i never did that before!! 😭 how long have you waited for already?

Clover

@idk W top 3!! i can whole heartedly agree with your love for inarizaki cause this team has that serious grip on my heart too

Clover

We have the same list! I would definitely vote for Diamond no Ace if a sports anime poll would come up but I wouldn't mind if Kuroko no Basket or Blue Lock wins

Quisel

wow i really dk what to say man, ill miss these reactions, the weekly waiting for the videos, and the comment section, oh man

LaYami・砂漠の子

Read the manga and then join us in getting mad at how badly the anime movies are gonna fumble

idk

1 hinata shoyooooo 2 atsumu miya 3 osamu miya I literally cannot explain how much I love inarizaki as a team, probably more than karasuno and if it wasn’t for hinata my whole top 3 would just be inarizaki

idk

Not sure if the Geks noticed but Tanaka’s girl was getting some good TV screen time during the nekoma scene at the end. She may really be a future goat in volleyball.🔥

Marcus

@Mason it was unexpected but very funny to read 🤣

Clover

And of course, thank you to this community and the geks for making this whole rewatch experience so fun 😭 i loved reading all the yaps, the stupid comments, simping over our husbands and fav charas…basically interacting with all of yall 🫶🏼 will miss this and you guys so much, we have one more movie left but lets manifest for season 5 and reunite again when the next movie releases too!! And geks, thank you for yalls reactions! They were so enjoyable and funny, I love how you guys were just locked in during the show, catching onto things, being perceptive and showering so much love onto Haikyuu (I will miss those meme worthy one liners/ facial expressions for sure). I really hope this show stays in yalls heart for a long long time and you guys will get to a rewatch/ read through of the manga somewhere down the line 🤭

Clover

Thank you 🫡, he’s just a just a good dude who’s honest with a good head on his shoulders and it also helps that he’s a beast 😂😮‍💨

Marcus

fr 🤣🤣

Clover

Ahh okay I’ll try to find some time this year to read it! Hopefully I get to it

A_Daddy Daichi

thank you!! 💕

A_Daddy Daichi

Reading the comments one thing is certain: if the guys decide to do a poll on which sports anime to watch, it’s going to be a bloodbath under the post lol.

Karina

@Clover LOL! It wasn’t supposed to turn out this way 😭😭😭

Mason Schutz

I agree with you Mason, but for a second I thought this comment chain was an english lesson XD Even if they used that as an excuse, i never thought of “messing around” from the Miya Twins as something negative (heck idt Furudate, the author himself, even wrote for it to be taken as negative). In fact, it shows their love for the sport and respect for the opponent as the twins kept improvising new things and also had the expectations that the opponents will be able to follow them and not get left behind. Humans really think differently huh, after Miya Twins said that line, I actually grew to like them more and understand how much of an impact this match had on them for them to be letting it loose and trying out all new sorts of things. They were all having the time of their lives down there in the court and that’s all I could infer from their line.

Clover

It’s rare to see someone putting ushiwaka in top 3, big W to you

Clover

Ao Ashi mention lets goo 🗣️🗣️

Clover

Geks, I want to hear yall rank your favourite teams in order now XD after hearing yall rank inarizaki above shiratorizawa My top 3 after S4: 1. Hinata 2. Atsumu/Oikawa (don’t ask me to choose i’ll throw hands w u) 3. Tanaka I wanna hear who are the commenters’ top 3 too!!

Clover

HAHAH like the ones with those tiktok and kpop audios? yes we really lived thru that era huh

Clover

i really love how they gave the narration lines to tsukki these two eps!!

Clover

You should!! Everything about the manga is chefs kiss

Clover

Thank you! Yes we are safe thankfully. We live a city away from the Eaton fire so we were not as impacted. Hope you and your loved ones are safe too. 🥺

Mariacake

i wanna just talk about the music esp at that last point! The ost is called Monster’s Ball/ Banquet of the Monsters Haikyuu really uses this same main tune/motif alot and mixes it into different tracks, like in Above (The iconic Ushiwaka concrete scene) and Battle of Concepts (Shiratorizawa match last point), Winners and Losers etc. This same tune appeared right after Kags and Hinata blocked the Miyas freak quick. I really like the whole buildup to the whole set up to the last set up of Miya Twins, from when Daichi and Tsukki was getting up. When the drums went away with only the strings left is so telling of how the match was reaching its climax and thanking all the audience and members by ending it off w a grand finale. I really got so overwhelmed tears just started flowing haha 🥹 The flashing of “We don’t need the memories” at the last point is so symbolic, acknowledging the mistakes but yet having the determination to put them behind so you can focus on moving forward and progressing on your journey. Lastly, what I REALLY REALLY loved about this ost during the last point was that after Karasuno scored the point, and even after the match officially ended, the music kept going on and on, kinda signifying their adrenaline rush and that heat of their match wasn’t over yet. This was very different to the last points in our other main games such as with Seijoh and Shiratorizawa and maybe even more. I’m a music gurlie so I could keep yapping and yapping about the soundtrack in Haikyuu but I shall end it here :3 So…when we getting those Haikyuu OPs and EDs reactions?

Clover

hope you are staying safe! it's so crazy how these fires spread

A_Daddy Daichi

I couldn’t focus the day this dropped bec the wind was giving me so much anxiety! It was so strong I thought our windows will break 😭

Mariacake

READ IT!! 😍 In my experience, it made my life better 😌

Mariacake

If you guys really want to branch out and check other genres, I recommend “My Love Story” for romcom. It’s like if One Punch Man and Death Note had a Romance Comedy baby 🤣

Mariacake

So I basically vowed to be an anime-only viewer. I vowed it for Haikyu but I might just have to cave 😭 I read the ending of the manga for AoT… should I do it for Haikyu???

A_Daddy Daichi

loved aoashi!! And the first op song is so good!

A_Daddy Daichi

No seriously it’s so amazing

A_Daddy Daichi

I loved season 1! Haven’t gotten around season 2 yet

A_Daddy Daichi

a bit out of topic but has anyone reached out to patreon support before? how long did it take you to get a response? please help a girlie outtt

bokkun

@Cannon, “if they wanted to win, they shouldn’t have messed around” THATS WHAT THEY ARE ADMITTING TO 😭 What they did is called “retrospective thinking”. You do it, I do it. We all do it. These are very human characters who also make mistakes. Just how you fail to realize you messed up until it’s too late, they do the same. All they can do is own up to it… lmao. they can’t go back in time do it over again. In the end, all they can do is acknowledge where they messed up—something Karasuno does literally all the time.

Mason Schutz

Im literally saying I hate their reason, the word could be interchangeable in my context. I hate when after the fact of losing someone either says their reason or excuse is they were messing around, regardless if they are actually messing around or not. In this case in the show, I’ve not liked husband or inirazaki that much, that’s no secret, so when they go ahead and say that it makes me like them even less. If they wanted to win they shouldn’t have messed around, and if they shouldn’t have messed around they should’ve called it out before the actual final results. Idrc how good they think they are or whatever, it’s arrogant and I don’t like it

Cannon Andrus

Like seriously, every character is lovable but you can’t put Hinata aside!!

m m

And the drink review saga continues.

Jamie

Also, if anyone is in the LA area, please be safe!!! 🫶🏾 Fortunately, I’m not near any of the fires currently and hope they do not further spread.

A_Daddy Daichi

Sooo sad it’s coming to an end but what a fantastic and fun journey this has been! I have to watch episode 23 to catch up first

A_Daddy Daichi

That was me, Haikyuu cliffhangers is directly responsible for taking years off my life TAT

kkcat

I'm just so happy we finally got you guys to watch it and now you guys are one of us xD

kkcat

I'm glad you guys have a gap before the movie!! I mean we waited years xD! Also I love how in this season Hinata needed to "Take it easy" while Tsuki needed to "Take one more step". Take it easy was what Tsuki said to Hinata and Kageyama in S1 when they first met and "One more step" was what made Kageyama set to Hinata for the first time. In this episode when Tsuki blocks and Hinata's receives is the moon hiding the sun like an eclipse.

kkcat

To Quote Tendou. "Farewell. My paradise." I'll miss you, Haikyu comment section. Got just as much enjoyment reading all your thoughts.As watching the show with the boys.

Luna Meow

WATCHING HAIKYU MAKES YOU A BETTER PERSON. (thank you for attending my Ted talk)

Luna Meow

Ugh yesssssssssssssssssssssssss

Luna Meow

For me its the heart, the messaging and the cast. Volleyball is about connecting and it explores.what connects people on and off the court. Other your mention are great but none do all 3 as well as Haikyu.

Luna Meow

Blue lock reactions would be so entertaining coming after haikyu😭😭

Cryptcat

Traveling and watching from Dubai. Enjoy the cold weather <3 can't wait for the movie! and Mob!

TY

Sucks that haikyus almost over! But when vball season is over kageyama takes up running! In the anime called run with the wind! Highly recommend that anime it's a hidden gem!

Sdat1guy

Just rewatched the reactions to the last rallies of big matches and I just wanna say Cannon's reactions are always so funny you can literally feel the anxiety lol

Süm

That would have been interesting, but I love how Hinata turned out

Jenny D

READ THE MANGA I BEG YOUUU

idk

So sad that its over, kuroko no basket next maybe? Since u guys wanted basketball anime

Anton Sakshaug

i recently discovered that in the original concept of haikyu, the author was gonna make hinata an upper year student who doesn’t play volleyball and have first year kageyama get him to join the team because he sees his athletic talent. crazy to think about how that version of the story would’ve turned out

An

Your development on this show is one for the books

Fatipapi

I think they are very close to each other for me, both have things i like more then the other, i think the boys would love it though

Chrisiyyi

No way this show is almost over 😢

McKay Carter

Kuruko no basket, hajimo no ippo and blue lock plsss

Chrisiyyi

How did I not know any of this? lmao omg, everything makes sense now. 😭

botanbutton

Also yes, there is a tennis anime, Prince of Tennis. Its quite ‘oldskool’, no idea how good/bad it is. Ace no Diamond is apparently quite good, which is a baseball anime

Fatipapi

KUROKO NO BASUKE MENTIONED!!!! Yessss JACK!!! Vouch for KnB pleaseeee 😂🙏🏼🏀

Fatipapi

It was the worst I've ever seen in a long time.

botanbutton

Yeah you know what, on second thought, you're so right.

Wictor Whiskey Ahlund

Bruh it was a whole ass civil war up in these polls 😂😂😂 you should check the pinned video on the discord in #Media by Galaxy_Cat to get a small glimpse of how bad it was

Fatipapi

YES yes yes a hundred times yessss! I really really hope theyre gonna watch it outside of the poll. I wanna rewatch KnB so bad so i wanna save it to watch it here 😭

Fatipapi

Ahhh another emotional end of an era 🥹 im so excited for the movie. I have been saving it for a first watch with you guys and the time is finally hereee 😭 cant wait for next week!

Fatipapi

Kuroko no Basket is the basketball anime you guys are looking for lol. It was adapted by Production I.G (the same studio that adapted Haikyuu) and it is one of the most popular sports anime. You’ll definitely like it since it has great pacing, great animation, and lots of hype moments

Kesendo

There are not more than 100 chapters it is like 75. It is still a lot but it is not that bad. Also, what do you mean popularity started falling off the manga has been best-selling consistently despite ending 4 years ago, and the popularity is probably at its highest right now with the movie released last year. The reason they wanted to make movies was not because the publisher pressured them (I don't where you got that information from honestly) or anything it was just because they wanted to make more money.

Süm

money! they thought ppl wouldn’t tune in for another season so they said ‘lets test the waters’ and went the quick route with movies

kai

I scrolled and saw a hate comment abt haikyuu and can I ask how bad was haikyuu hated in the last voting poll? Cos I saw ppl saying the comment section was closed bc of the haikyuu hate

snowy

🏐: “Gomen.. Amanai”

Fatipapi

I remember when someone sent me a list of anime I should watch whenever I first started watching it. and on the list there was this anime. Though to myself "bruh who tf is gonna watch a volleyball anime. Sound like sht". Now I've rewatched that with reactions like.. 5 times? Xd

hugoruix

Ace of Diamond is AMAZING!

Kamryn

15:58 cannon 😂😂😂😂

Fatipapi

No we saw! I think we were just in the moment

Studio Geck

I cant unsee the Inarizaki #14 carter comparison since brig mentioned it last time 😂😭

Fatipapi

Du-bye Cannon! Have a safe trip 🙏🏼

Fatipapi

I kinda feel bad for people who had to wait week by week episodes when haikyuu came out cos the wait would depress me

snowy

movies have way less character focus, which sucks cuz thats what I love about hikyuu

hugoruix

For Soccer/Football, I think Ao Ashi is better than Blue Lock, but in part that is also personal bias. I personally prefer sports anime to be more grounded and realistic so they can be relatable, while some prefer over the top hype and almost super power like abilities. Blue Lock and Ao Ashi are basically on opposite sides of this spectrum, with one focusing on a realistic representation of top level footbal strategy(Ao Ashi) and the other focusing on edgy phylosophies and hype super plays(Blue Lock). Both are extremely entertaining though. They both released around the same time and because of the Blue Lock hype Ao Ashi got completely overshadowed, but it's much more similar to Haikyuu in style and realism. Main difference being it focuses on a youth team of a pro club, so everyone there is already top tier players unlike Haikyuu where it starts of at a lot lower level. I never really understood soccer strategy and why top teams play the way they do until I watched Ao Ashi. The lessons it teaches about how to use vision and non-verbal communication are insanely good and applicable to any sport. One thing I especially liked is that the main characters regularly interact with actual pro players, and the show does a really good job of establishing what makes these pro players just be on another level when compared to the main cast, while also showing us the path to get to that level.

Oromis

Hajime no Ippo is also up there with the greats of sports anime. Boxing being an individual sport also makes it quite unique compared to most sports anime that are more team sport focused.

Oromis

I've rewatched Haikyuu for like 3 times already and it gets better every time, it's such a comfort anime and the manga wrapped up beautifully. Furudate put so much love and thought into the characters and story, I have watched a LOT of sports animes and I definitely agree that none of them can top Haikyuu (Ace of Diamond is a really good second though). It's just unfortunate that everyone knows the budget is more than enough to adapt the rest of the manga into seasons instead of movies but it seems they're sticking to the latter.

Quisel

haikyu is such a lovable anime that the more you watch/rewatch, the more you fall in love. it's so well written so kudos to furudate sensei. Manga has so many great arcs still left behind that some questions or stuffs that you guys have mentioned unknowingly we cant even tell you or confirm it, i hope you give the manga a chance cause it is so well written. I have watched so many other sports animes, they just dont hit as much as haikyu does. those have great/hype moments but its not as well rounded and heart warming as haikyu makes you feel. It was a great fight to get you to watch haikyu and to see that you enjoy it as much as we do and even wants more of this, i am so happy for this

bebe

yes! i think it's even enough for a whole season😭 and haikyuu is so popular in japan, why would they go for only 2 movies

Balzhan

haikyuu's ending is literally perfect! i reread the manga 3 times already this year, it's so good. haikyuu is like some soul-healing anime, i always return to it when im sad or need motivation

Balzhan

I miss haikyuu already😂

Balzhan

Totally agree. I mean with Chris, Yuki, Jun and Mochi. All these characters with good leadership and good senior vibe. I can’t see a reason that they don’t like the show.

Ka Yu Cheung

Ace of Diamond fits the group most. I mean those third year seniors are awesome. The games are also hyped as hell. I bet they will like Yuki a lot.

Ka Yu Cheung

Cant believe the Haikyu journey is almost over. I am so hyped for the movie.. I watched it in the theatre and it made me soo emotional 😭😭

Patriicia

Watch kurokos basketball

G

Actually there is a GOATED story around basketball that preceded Haikyuu and is considered one of the best stories of all time - SLAM DUNK. There are people in Japan and all over the world that don't even read manga or watch anime like that but know Slam Dunk. This story is singlehandedly responsible for basketball absolutely blowing up in Japan and all over Asia. Very very very many still consider it the best sports manga to this day and not even Haikyuu seems to budge them. The only issue is that the anime is not the best so if you wanted to actually experience this story just like Berserk you need to read the manga. But there is a recently released movie that ends the story and it broke all kinds of records.

bondbond53

I will be honest guys Haikyuu might not be relating to supernatural or have any mysteries but it has one of the best stories and ending. What good is all of those story element if a show crashes and burns like GoT??? If the rest of the manga is adapted faithfully I wanna hear Brig's take again and see it can reach the status of some of his favourite stories despite it having a realistic setting. Also, what money do I need to pay for what tier so you guys read the Nekoma match in the manga? The movie absolutely cooked but a looooot was left out which made that match so much more peak it's unreal.

bondbond53

Cannon, Here’s more definitions of Excuse: 1. Attempt to lessen the blame attaching to (a fault or offense); seek to defend or justify. 2. a reason put forward to conceal the real reason for an action; a pretext. Meanwhile, here’s definitions of Reason: 1. a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event 2. the power of the mind to think, understand, and form judgments by a process of logic. 3. think, understand, and form judgments by a process of logic. You said “I hate that excuse: ‘we messed around too much.’ Shut the freak up dude.” You say that as if it wasn’t a real reason when it absolutely is one of the reasons why they lost. They were literally accepting that they were playing around too much and the obvious answer is that they were. Otherwise they would have stuck to what they knew and practiced, like Kita even wished they had done. Throughout the game, we literally see them experimenting and joking around during the match… 😭 Why would you “hate that excuse” when it clearly was one of the reasons in why they lost? Unless you literally think that playing around and experimenting in an official match is what they should have done, then okay. That would be fine if that is your stance/opinion.

Mason Schutz

Its 2 on 1st place, 4 is 2nd and then 3 and 1 are interchangeable.

Saphira

Tsukkis narration at the end of this brings me to tears each time ! He was so misunderstood but he's watching he's listening he's working all the same. Hearing him say this and already knowing how the series ends just ugh it's so good ! I love watching people fall in love with this series it works for everyone !

cece

"finding a game called destiny and losing your potential" crazy how hard that hits for me too lol.

bog

Blame Mugen train and JJK 0 tbh. They made so much money of their movies that now every studio wants to cash in on their biggest IP's with movie revenue, even when it potentially isn't the best for adapting the series. I honestly think they can make an amazing movie out of the final part, especially if they make it 2hr+, but they will have to cut stuff. Minor spoiler: I think Boruto's arc is gonna get the shaft, there just won't be time for it. Maybe they will make an ova for it at some point.

It's a shame that they decided to go for 2 movies ending. The manga has enough chapters to adapt into 3 movies imo, which means a lot of content will be cut.

Kacper Kluk

They are gonna cut a bunch of matches. They are gonna cut Fukurodani's matches and everything that happens in between matches only to rush the ending of the anime. There are rumors they are making another season after the second movie but i dont think i believe it; there are more then 100 chapters left that have a shit ton of content but they gonna cut it all probably because the popularity started falling off and they were pressured by the publisher to end the series as fast as they can. hence the two movies. Its gonna be a disaster. Yall should really read the manga and record the reactions. There are NO Haikyuu manga reactions on youtube, yall could be pioneers

Izaya

Rae

I know everyone is different but I CANNOT understand people who watch haikyuu and dont have HINATA SHOYO in their top 3😭😭😭😭😭

CC

yeah at least we get some peak matches after they won against inarizaki. The second movie is going to be incredible, manga readers know

Cryptcat

I know it doesn’t seem like it but the ending mangas really get the journey and haikyuu is referenced as having one of the best endings constantly (in terms of how it could end in respect to the manga that it is)

le

does anyone rmb those rotoscoping haikyuu vids on tiktok during lockdown

Hinata's "breather break" in 24 is still making me misty eyed even on the 5th rewatch. More sports anime would be fire! Would be interesting to see you watch Kuroko since you guys talk so much about basketball. I still wish we would get a remake of Slam Dunk cause, sure, the one we have is nostalgic but it does not do the absolute peak manga justice at all. Other than that there's obviously the greatness that is Hajime no Ippo & Ace of Diamond 👌

Wictor Whiskey Ahlund

When he first appeared, some people (🤚🏼) referred to him as husband in the comments and the boys jumped on it and started calling him husband instead of his actual name so honestly I blame them for it becoming a thing lol

Mia Malvik

Can someone explain me where did that husband thing come from? As I understand it’s Atsumu the term is used for, why?

Ly

Miya Atsumu – A man who keeps his word.😂😂

Shelly

Karasuno was a bad match up for Inarizaki because of Kageyama and hinata. If it wasn’t for those two being able to keep up with the twins monster quick inarizaki would’ve won. I do agree inarizaki should have won but unfortunately they got caught off guard this time

idk

The way Atsumu says he's gonna be Hinatas setter one day goes very hard

Mia Malvik

Carter having Daichi 1st is extremely valid actually

Mia Malvik

inarizaki should of wonnnnn i was kinda sad when karasuno won ngl

Cryptcat

I second this just because its such a contrast to haikyu

Cryptcat

I love how you guys realize that a rewatch of Haikyu would be a whole new experience, now that you've seen all seasons. Yes, I guarantee you.. This show will just keep on getting better with every rewatch, because for every rewatch, there will be a new layer of understanding and greater appreciation for Haikyu and its well-written story! <3 Thank you, studiogek! I'm super looking forward to your reaction to its movie (Dumpster Battle let's go!!!) <3

Loulix

Aww did they miss the point that tsukki didn’t block the ball for hinata to receive which he has been setting up patiently for 3 sets

Gingy

@GEKs, the song "Imagination" by the band Spyair was made for Haikyu anime. It's the OP for Season 1 and it's the ED for S4 here .. It's my personal fav from all Haikyu songs. [Verse 1] The heat-haze sways, the sweat starts slipping The voices echo as shoulders hit each other From an open window I asked the sky What challenge will we face this summer, Mr. Future? [Pre-Chorus 1] Oh, come on, come on, come on Even if it's just little, it's still a chance Oh, come on, come on, come on Let's connect! [Chorus] No matter when, no matter who, wanting to stand there Even if we made mistakes, even if it's frustrating, we continue the struggle Never give up, I don't want to end like this Carrying this imagination, I'll go Oh, oh [Verse 2] Rather than an answer in a text book I wanted an unexpected excitement Something that filled my heart like "Gwaah" At that time, it was all I could believe, Mr. Future [Pre-Chorus 2] Hello, hello, hello Can you hear me? Oh Hello, hello, hello Answer! [Chorus] Bumping, tumbling, wanting to be stronger Being stubborn, standing up, and I repeat that again, but Never give up, let me keep running like this To the end of this imagination, I'll go Oh, oh [Bridge] Since the time I lost The next has begun Even if the taste is bitter and acerbic now, baby Someday, surely [Chorus] No matter when, no matter who, wanting to stand there Even if we made mistakes, even if it's frustrating, we continue the struggle Never give up, I don't want to end like this Carrying this imagination, I'll go Oh, oh [Outro] Ah, I'll go Oh, oh

Hem-ehem

OH MY GOSH I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE THE MOVIE ONLY LEFT NOW. Man, what a journey, that was absolutely amazing and rewarding, props to every haikyuu fan who sticked through! we won lads, haikyuu was def one of the top best reactions for geks EDIT: the movie is PEAK btw, like the BEST animation out of all 4 seasons imo you'll see

𝓓𝓪𝓷𝓪

I hope so tbh! For now there is nothing confirmed, but I am curious to know how they are going to include all the chapters/ volumes left if there is no plans yet for another season... :/

Juanca

i disagree, but i disagree because ive read the whole manga and its a very beautiful finished story. Careful mini spoiler but nothing that will tell you anything really. //the manga is relativly short and the show changes past the garbage dumb battle.// spoiler over. and i really like where it goes and how it handled itself. I was very dissapointed mid story but the further i got the more i appreciated what had been done. My perspective on it changed drastically as well the more i read it. So all in all i can say Trust the process, bro is cooking.

Marcus

I see. I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

Jenny D

I have been dying to say this theory. Since Kita was staring right where the ball would land, if he was only in, he would know where to be to defend against that last point.

BubblePriest

also there is a sport anime about American football called "Eyeshield 21" if you want to check it out but it is old so don't expect crazy animation

greyxwaren

NOW YOU GUYS KNOW HOW WE FEEL. THE HYPE IS JUSTIFIED.

SIIver

caught up with both manga and anime but even if i wasn't i would still disagree on the take that show needed to focus on lifestyle and needing more mundane drama like girlfriends and switching teams and such. what makes the show amazing in my opinion is their ability to show how interesting volleyball without adding any filler. it got people like you guys say "it's literally volleyball how interesting can it get?" and now you're fiending for more lol focusing on the game and slowly introduces you to more techniques, slowly raising the stakes and edging you in the best way possible. it's peak im afraid

greyxwaren

Adffggf here I am eating my words. 😂 Guess we will be watching some fishing anime in the near future, thanks for the heads up!

Karina

Well it is impossible to end what is left in just 1 movie they will finish up this arc and wether or not they will adapt the rest is still up in the air but they 100% can not fit the rest of haikyuu in 1 movie

M2GZ

Magi: the Labyrinth of Magic? Yes! I did watch it but it’s been more than 10 years sdgghh. I think I only remember one seiyuu event where they parody the Ugo scene?

Karina

I looked up the definition of excuse, and it literally says a REASON or explanation.

Cannon Andrus

Haha that’s cool and I love sports anime too!(if it’s good and relatable). There’s actually a fishing anime that just finished airing called Negative Positive Angler! It’s not competitive though, it’s about recreational fishing in Tokyo, the focus is on slice of life and emotional beats. 12 eps on Crunchyroll and was well received, maybe you guys will like that!

Marcus

I really want you guys to watch Blue lock as the next sports anime man... react to episode 1 and trust me you won't regret it.

T.Yaseen

You have to watch Diamond no Ace as your next sport anime! Hoping for it to make it to a poll one Day😂

J.J. _

I also quite enjoy Yowamushi Pedal for any cycling fans out there :)

Alex

I really hope the Geks decide to venture into more sport anime in the future because the hype on the coach is unmatched (although they started with the best sports anime in my opinion XD). There's a bunch of great ones I'd love to recommend but based solely on what I think the Geks would enjoy and get hyped over I think Kuroko no Basuke would be a really good next watch for them. It's not too long either just a few seasons and they get a movie to end off on with a bang. I'd also love to see them watch Slam Dunk, Ace of the Diamond, Hajime no Ippo etc, but Kuroko (I think) would really appeal to the guys and be fun to watch along with them.

Alex

What a journey it's been. The Geks have gone from disinterest and indifference at the start of the show all the way to pure hype, debating favourite characters ferociously and being genuinely upset that the show is almost over. Haikyuu fans knew from the beginning that you'd get there in the end. Haikyuu is such a difficult show to get people to watch but we all know the pay off is always there, so getting to see that pay off as haikyuu fans is such a joy for us. You boys are one of us now :)

Alex

EYESHIELD 21!! hahaha you mentioned american football

corLeonis

IM NOT BACK HOME YET but im looking forward to watching this finale reaction from the geks and then reading all the yap in the comments, just YALL WAIT ✋🏼

Clover

You’re right Carter. That Kita or Daichi question was stupid. Should’ve asked Hinata or Daichi bc that discussion at the end was hilarious 🤣

Nash

PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THE POST CREDIT SCENE OF THE MOVIEEEEE

corLeonis

can't wait to see yalls reactions to the openings and endings!! ur haikyu reactions were one of my favs from everything you reacted to in the channel bc of the pure hype and vibes. super wholesome how you fell in love with karasuno and they became ur boys. love that you branched out and tried something new!

tami

Please watch kuroko no basket one day. You guys will 100% enjoy it just like you did with Haikyuu, I guarantee it.

yio

58:24 Brig - I can't.... Cat - Meowww

yio

@Karina Yes! I think Haikyuu does an amazing job at ending the series and tying up all the characters' journeys in ways that are both satisfying and believable, like you said. I sure hope the studio gives us another episodic cour after the second movie! There's no way they can fit everything into it unless they cut out everything from the back, which would be an OUTRAGE.

Moon

Now that the rewatch with you guys is done, I can finally watch the movie for the first time!!

yio

What a journey it's been. I'm so thankful you guys watched my favourite anime.

yio

@Mariacake Same here!! Tsukki being the narrator for the important scenes related to Hinata and Kageyama was such a good choice! I totally agree:)

Moon

https://www.reddit.com/r/haikyuu/comments/1dx1y9n/george_wada_qa_during_production_ig_panel_at/ This is a reddit post talking about it. Just search Haikyuu production I.G. timeskip news and you will get articles about it.

Albin Limani

Where are yall getting these info😭 cuz on twitter I just see ppl confirming the next movie to be the final and adapt the final arc

Nash

@karina i know this is off topic but have you watched Magi? have you seen the live seiyu event where they switch roles? (i'm sorry, please ignore me if I'm wrong but when you mentioned about musical, I felt that you know what I'm talking about hahahaha)

corLeonis

rumors I saw were hinting at one more movie then a cour of anime to finish it off.

M2GZ

Wait what??? Can anyone send the link if they have it?😭 bc i thought the “Haikyu Final” project is only the two movies and the first one being the dumpster battle

Nash

what I like about Haikyuu is, at the end of the day, they still respect one another. and there's no character who sees himself as "I'M HIM!" .. well there might be some characters who thinks they're better compared to our crows but they always show us that they acknowledge that there are better players

corLeonis

Slideshow second season advghggc dead. I mean, facts. I was so sad for Blue Lock fans, they were so hype for the second season and they got… that. Disappointment all around.

Karina

Yes! If only I had bookmarked the link posted in that reply that mentioned that in past episode. Oh well. GEKS, don't open the link provided by OP @Albin Limani down in the replies here! Spoiler for you. Thank you @Albin Limani for the info from reddit. The link source I saw was from an article.

Hem-ehem

Also last comment just because I am seeing this a lot. There will be more content animated after the second movie. It was confirmed by the head of Production I.G.. We just don't know if there will be more movies or another season.

Albin Limani

Well the CEO of Production I.G. did confirm that they will animate it all. There will be the next movie(we know which match) and then more content, we just don't know if there will be a season or more movies after that.

Albin Limani

As a football(soccer) fan since 2009 watching consistently, Blue Lock is good but also gets on my nerves. Some of the things they say or do just are so cringe to me, when I have a quite deep understanding of the sport. And then the slideshow second season was the final nail in the coffin for me.

Albin Limani

sameeee

bebe

Man, love Slam Dunk, such an awesome show. But the pacing and the fact that it is an unfinished anime is so sad.

Albin Limani

And when it comes to ability, then Ushiwaka is still at this point in time untouchable, he is so far above everyone. The top 5 by end of season 4 I would say is: Ushiwaka, Miya, Oikawa, Bokuto and Kageyama. You could make a case for Kuroo(who is the best middle), or Nishinoya and Yaku as Liberos, but I think those 5 are just on another level.

Albin Limani

I will forever plug Ping Pong the animation lol. It’s the best short format (1 season) sports anime out there and one of my top3 sports anime of all time.

Karina

When it comes to sports anime, yeah nothing comes close to Haikyu for me. Slam Dunk is amazing, Hajime no Ippo(haven't finished it all cuz its so long) is also awesome, Kuroko no Basket is great, Blue Lock(at least season 1) is also great. But Haikyu just has something that the others lack for me. It is the complete package and it really shows what it takes to be an athlete the best.

Albin Limani

amazing reaction guys, thank you so much for putting so much energy into haikyu!!!! as far as the ending, I think its perfect and I hope the animators do that perfection justice without rushing things into a movie format. Would I want a 16 season in depth haikyu with all 3 high school years? ABSOLUTELY !!!!! but i still am so incredibly satisfied with how it ends, and i think you guys will be satisfied too in the coming years of the anime (or if you chose to read the manga!)

Niko

Atsumu saying he'll set to Hinata is actually insane. The determination in his voice always amazes me. Hinata is literally his ideal spiker, since he puts in 110% into spiking ALL the time, just like what Atsumu wants from his own teammates. Him saying that he'll crush them at next year's Interhigh shows how highly he thinks of Hinata and Kageyama and Karasuno as a whole. Their schools will never play against each other officially outside of Nationals, so he's saying that he expects Karasuno to be at Nationals next year too so they can play again. Coming from one of the best high school setters in the country, that's saying smth. Whew. Kita... Always makes me cry. For him and for his team, even if I don't love them nearly as much as other teams. His soft but firm discipline, and his way of taking things in stride and not obsessing over the results is just so memorable. The twins, troublemakers as they are, do hold him in very high regard, as does the rest of the Inarizaki team. Their expressions when they promise to live up to Kita's expectations of them even in the future, after he's left, never fail to invoke bittersweet feelings. Even if y'all don't really vibe with Inarizaki as a whole, you gotta admit that the still have their admirable traits. Last but not least! The OST that plays at the end of episode 25 is the first season's OP, Imagination! When I first heard it, I was so shocked because of how much nostalgia I felt. It just reminded me how far Haikyuu has come and how far I've come as a fan of the series myself. Gave me chills! I'm so excited to see y'alls reaction to the movie. It's gonna be a WILD ride!!

Moon

It’s also very satisfying character development - first Hinata wanted nothing more than to be on the court and spike (get someone to feed HIM the ball), then he appreciated being the ultimate decoy so others could spike while being on a team (still in the spotlight, but aware of other roles and willing to cede ~epic moments~) then he had his IT moment while receiving the ball during a defensive play (ergo very much a support role in a team.) You see him experience so much while he is expanding his horizons through the games and positions and his growth both as a volleyball player and character is incredibly satisfying. I hope some studio animates the rest of the manga storyline because imo Hinata has the most believable and satisfying character development arcs in a shounen series.

Karina

Yes! And I love that it was Tsukki who narrated or said that they weren’t surprised it’s Hinata and Kageyama who blocked and that they know the quick attack isn’t invincible bec it Tsukki who competed with Hinata and Kageyama first (3 on 3) where they discovered the freak quick/became the weirdo combo 🥹 Tsukki had the strongest feelings about the quick out of everyone 🤣

Mariacake

Uhhhh I did say they should read the match *after* watching. And I personally disagree. The movie cut out A LOT of great moments because they cant include everything in a span of over an hour. I took it upon myself to note down all things that were cut out after rereading that match twice inbetween my 2 times rewatching movie in the theaters. I wont list all the problems I had with it cuz spoiler but Im glad that it worked out for you I guess.

Nico

I think Prince of Tennis was very ~of its time~. I love it, I had a wonderful fandom experience when it was airing (especially with the launch of the musicals, there was sooo much content) but would I recommend it to a reaction channel in 2025 where the reactors are not very keen on sports anime? Lol no. (Maybe for a drinking game lol.) If they wanted to check out a tennis anime, I would recommend Baby Steps, but idk how they would be with the romance in it.

Karina

And ofc, how can we ever forget Hinata's legendary moment. He literally SAVED the team by doing that high bump to give everyone on his side time to catch their breath. This scene always always gives me the chills. It's the culmination of all the embarrassment and hard work he had to go through during the training camp in season 4, and all for this one moment, where Furudate spins one of the best throwbacks to a previous arc and ties it all up perfectly. I love this scene so much. More details about that final point they scored: Tsukki's monologue at the very end of episode 24 is both iconic and holds a lot of meaning in Haikyuu. When he says that speed is a very very powerful weapon, he's referring to the quick that the twins did against them at the end, AND the quick that Hinata and Kageyama uses. But more specifically, the old quick that they eventually scrapped and remade. Why? Because, if you realise, when Atsumu sets the ball to Osamu, he says "This position... This timing... This angle.... It's perfect!", which is literally, bar for bar, what Kageyama said when they used their old quick against Aoba Johsai in their first official match against each other and LOST. The significance of this scene paralleling with our duo's first loss in an official capacity is HUGE. They are essentially facing their old selves, when they still believed that their freak quick was invincible. But by season 4, Hinata and Kageyama, better than anyone else, know that this is far from the truth. Their quick is NOT invincible, just like they learnt in season 2 and beyond. But BECAUSE they know this, they are the only two who were able to remain calm even when this terrifying weapon was being used against them in the final points of this crazy match, and they not only managed to block it TOGETHER, but also WIN the entire match off it! This ties back in to Tsukki saying that "Speed is a very powerful weapon. But it's not invincible. They knew that a little better than everyone else.", because how else could they have pulled off that block if not for their devastating loss from before and the experience that came with rebuilding their quick. It's very telling of Furudate's story-telling to be able to parallel and connect these two matches with each other. Inarizaki lost the EXACT same way Karasuno lost to Aoba Johsai in the Interhigh games, and it's just so poetic that they won by defeating the old weapon that they cast aside but was used against them after that. This is PEAK writing. More fun facts: the scene where we witness the ball fall to the ground right on the line is shown through Kita's eyes. Many of us fans were really emotional because of that, as we're basically watching this amazing character, who was introduced to us only 4 episodes ago, lose his hopes of winning nationals with his team. This was Kita's LAST match as captain of the team and as an active player for once. Literally made me shed tears JWHBHJB Also, sometime before this insanely long rally, Yamaguchi's mentor, who's in the stands, said that since Osamu is in the back row, there won't be a twin's quick, but lo and behold, they actually did it. And this was the FIRST back attack these twins tried, on the LAST point they might score in this game. So, they're kinda crazy for taking such a huge risk and going through with it.

Moon

not really, better they read after their match, Nekoma vs Karasuno was better done in the movie because in the manga it was the most unrealistic match in Haikyuu, as someone who play sports and competitive, it felt unbearable to read that match at points, so the movie fixed things thankfully

Haru

Please promise to update us if any one of you will rewatch Haikyuu 🥺

Mariacake

Enjoy Dubai Cannon! Have a safe trip. It’s so sad it’s ending. Can’t wait for the movie 🍿 Thank you Geks and also everyone who’s been so pleasant here in the comments section. So wholesome here. I’m going to miss all of you 🥺

Mariacake

I love sports anime (my husband does not) but he loves fishing (I don’t lol) but I told him if they ever make a fishing anime I would watch it with him for the lulz. If he gets to listen to me rant about sports in anime I will slog through epic catches whatever for him lol.

Karina

@Cannon, a Reason and an Excuse can be seen as very different things. For example, if I said to you that you not being able to upload the Haikyu movie reaction sooner because you were going to Dubai was just an EXCUSE, would you agree with that, or would you say it was a valid REASON as to why it was delayed? Lol. A “reason” explains why something happened with facts or logic, while an “excuse” tries to justify or avoid responsibility, often to deflect blame. That’s why I said it was more than just an excuse because you literally SEE them experimenting throughout the entire match. An excuse is baseless and insincere, while a reason has fair justification and sincerity.

Mason Schutz

Jack and McKay are twins?!?!?! 😳 Is Brig, Carter and Cannon’s cousin?

Mariacake

There’s an anime about water polo too! Called “Re-main”

Mariacake

I mean it also happens in real life - the favorite gets knocked out by a no name team by some miracle and NOBODY has enough footage of the now winning team so they scramble and show… the loosing team with ‘Oh man I don’t know what happened what an upset!!! 🙀’ commentary.

Karina

I know they’ll love the direction the author took 😌😌

Nash

Carter's expression when Daichi missed the serve had me in stitches JHBWJHBEEJH Explaining Atsumu's words: When he says it's not that Hinata believes in the setter but rather he believes the ball will come to him, you can interpret them as the same thing, but it can also be thought about in another way. Hinata and Kageyama do have a special partnership, but as the Olympic coach in the series says, Hinata knows that Kageyama is not the only setter who can set to him. Before season 4, Hinata was stuck in a rut because he couldn't do anything on the court without Kageyama, specifically. But he can now. Which is why his blind faith in his setter has sort of evolved into a conscious belief that even if Kageyama messes up sometimes (like he did at the end of the last episode), he will still have a set come to him anyway. Hinata's attitude on the court, as we see from the part where he jumps without telling anyone and surprises Kageyama in the process, is basically "Well, there's a perfectly good opportunity to attack right here. It doesn't matter if you're blindsided by my decision or not, you'll still give me the ball that I need, right?" In simple terms, Hinata is unintentionally forcing his setter to match his pace, and because he's completely genuine while doing so, Kageyama is once again pushed to keep up with his insanity, and he does, because he got him the ball. Atsumu, in this case, says "You have my condolences, Tobio-kun. That's one scary partner you got there." As a genius setter himself, Atsumu can tell from just that one play who is actually leading who around by the nose btw these two. Obv, as Grandpa Ukai says, it's the spiker that has the initiative when it comes to spiking, so it's Hinata, who constantly finds new ways to keep Kageyama on his toes. Atsumu is basically empathising with Kageyama, because as a setter, having a spiker who always expects them to give them the set that they want or need and FULLY believing it will happen is a HIGH standard to have to live up to. And considering both Kageyama and Atsumu's personalities, ofc they would want to live up to that standard, even at the cost of being stressed each time their spiker jumps them with some unexpected move. This is the conclusion that he made, as honestly, it's a very miniscule detail that most people miss or are confused by haha! Tsukki's "So, you'd better be there." always makes me so happy. He's grow so much from before when he didn't trust or depend on any of his teammates. Hinata being the one to pick up that ball is just amazing. It took both of them to shut down Suna's quick, and it's so poetic how this ties into Tsukki's AND Hinata's development at the same time.

Moon

I highly rec you guys to read the Nekoma match in the manga (ch293 - 325) after finishing the movie. Iykyk. As for the question of wanting to see more years, personally I think how Haikyuu ended and the way it is right now is part of its charm. I will only leave it at that.

Nico

I cannot wait for them to react to the haikyuu openings :)

poo

While Haikyu stands at the top for me in terms of sports anime, these are the anime I've seen that are at the top of each sport category for those interested (some are pretty old/classics): Boxing: Hajime No Ippo Soccer/Football: Blue Lock Basketball: Kuroko no Basketball (I haven't seen it, but I hear Slam Dunk is better) American Football: Eyeshield 21 Tennis: Baby Steps (Prince of Tennis if you want superpower tennis 😂) Baseball: Diamond no Ace Ping-Pong: Ping Pong the Animation (This is actually really good) There are more sports anime out there, but out of the ones I've seen these are the notable ones I recommend. I feel some of these wouldn't be great for Patreon/YouTube, but would be fun for the watch parties or something 👀

MADHOUSE

51:35 Brig "I'm sure the re-watch is better.." Definitely will be! Cause you know them now. You'll probably find it more humorous than the first time watching it too. Watching it again, you'd still feel the exhilaration watching the matches You'll realize how Hinata's grown mentally too compared to how he was 10 months ago. (They start school April and this tournament is in January the next year).

Hem-ehem

Cannon was so funny, he's like "Are those cheeks??" lolololol

ginabella

Which parallels the show so perfectly~

ginabella

45:55 Brig already "singing" the chorus of Haikyu's Season 1 OP! "Imagination" ~ Spyair.. "Itsudatte daredatte soko ni tachitakutte!" Chorus Itsudatte daredatte soko ni tachitakutte Machigatte iradatte mogaki tsudzukete Never give up kono mama owaritaku wa nai Kono imajineeshon o kakaete Ore wa iku yo Oh, oh No matter when, no matter who, wanting to stand there Even if it's wrong, even if it's frustrating, keep on struggling Never give up, I don't want to end like this Carrying this imagination, I'll go Oh, oh

Hem-ehem

The definition of excuse: a reason or explanation put forward to defend or justify a fault or offense. It is literally the definition of excuse, because they are claiming it’s the reason they lost.

Cannon Andrus

Can’t wait to watch this after work 😭♥️

Fatipapi

🔥

Cannon Andrus

Agreeed!!! I started Blue Lock recently and the first few episodes were entertaining, but then it just fell off for me.. the characters seem so empty and void of depth, compared to haikyuu for example. It made it quite boring to me

Fatipapi

36:32 Brig "biased reporting I've ever seen" they're probably used to it this time. Remember the Miyagi tv show that mostly showed Oikawa, Aoba Johsai and Ushijima & his team? LOL

Hem-ehem

The movie has an after-credit scene btw. Please don't forget it is important!

Süm

Apparently there’s a haikyuu event on March 2nd. Guess they’ll talk more about what’s next in that event (hope they’ll give us atleast another season or ova)

Nash

I know you guys weren’t really into it in the early episodes of season 1 (except for jack) but seeing you all now loving this show is so nice and I’m so glad that yall gave it a chance 🥹

Nash

TBH I disagree with you guys about them doing more years. I love the show but think it would be too much and repetitive. If they did more it would lose its charm.

Ben.

Check out the light novels, it focuses on time periods through out the whole series, focusing on things and characters the manga didn’t, very SoL. It’s a different author though.

Marcus

That was a couple of years ago now, and they were very vague in explaining it. It may be cope from me but they could still change plans and add an extra movie or season. After the nekoma movie aired they haven’t made an announcement of what’s next right?

Marcus

Yep it basically revitalized men’s volleyball in Japan in the 2010s (the women’s team has been highly competitive for decades - and ‘Attack No.1’ manga capitalized on that in the 60s, which ultimately paved the way for sports stories AND the shoujo genre as a whole as we know them today.) Same happened to basketball in the 90s through Slam Dunk and go through Hikaru no Go - and with Hikaru no Go not just the resurgence in Japan, but putting go on the board on a global scale. The Chinese and Korean Go Associations had an insane increase in numbers when that story came out.

Karina

Thank you guys for the amazing journey! It went so fast. It is always so fun to watch people get into Haikyuu!! especially when they think it can't be that good at the start lol. I always thought you guys would love it but Mckay was a pleasant surprise. I did not think he would love it as much as the rest lol. Can't wait for the movie!

Süm

JACK AND MCKAY ARE TWINS?😭 oh my god now that you said it I kinda see the resemblance, but I never would’ve thought they are, not even siblings, probably because they’re seated apart from each other. now you and cannon feels kinda obvious, that’s my bad lmao🧘‍♀️. is brig a friend or a cousin?

beannieswife

Ping Pong the animation is SO GOOD.

Karina

OMGGGG, IT'S HERE NOW. I've been waiting for this moment for weeks! 😭 Ball boy arc never failed to amaze me. It's embarrassing for some but hinata grows a lot after that. Okay, i will watch these then comment again later. 😭❤️

Bingsu

Not a random post credit scene at all in my opinion hahah the dumpster battle is a thing BECAUSE of the rivalry between coach Nekomata and coach Ukai. Actually I would’ve loved to see more from their pov 🫠

Cinnamon Girl

YES to Slam Dunk if we are recommending basketball anime. Kuroko’s animation is better, but Slam Dunk has better character development and overall storyline. Top5 sports anime for sure.

Karina

18:14 Hinata learnt the idea of "relax/take it easy" from watching Kunimi (Aoba Johsai) 2 vs 2 matches. That's why "camera" shows Kunimi's surprised look first. Then Koganegawa (Date Tech) He'd learned about it from observing Hinata teaching Hyakuzawa that. Later, he joined Hinata in observing Kunimi when he was playing lol Then, camera showed Hyakuzawa the 2meter guy who Hinata personally "taught" the idea. He must be happy watching Hinata doing that in that match! Then the Johzenji coach who seems to have a soft spot for Hinata and knew what Hinata did for Hyakuzawa during First Year training camp.

Hem-ehem

i can’t believe we’re already at the end 😭 but thank you for taking us along on your haikyu journey! it was so much fun!! i’m so excited for the movie next week!!! 🤩

esie ♡︎

geks at the beginning “😐” geks in the end “we need more!” the character development is peak

snowy

Yes! Me (Carter) and Cannon are brothers 2 years apart and Jack and Mckay are twins

Studio Geck

Atsumu went from saying "I hate playing against guys who suck" to Hinata's face to saying "I am gonna be setting to you one day" You either die a Hinata hater or live long enough to see yourself become a fan lol

Süm

aoashi is so slept on!

Uly Lopez

9:10 One of my fav Tsukki moments. Him letting Suna hit that spike, narrowing the path of the ball knowing Hinata would be there and confident that Hinata will get that ball. He is the only one from Karasuno who personally saw the growth of Hinata during that First Year Training camp. What Hinata has shown from that awesome receive he made in that match has given Tsukki that confidence. The receive that Kageyama vehemently denies seeing LMAO.

Hem-ehem

If you want something basketball-related, SlamDunk is a classic. I saw a few reactors enjoying it and I don't think it has any tropes that you will find annoying.

Joie Dianzon 🇵🇭

excuse my ignorance, but theres two pairs of brothers among the geks? i joined patreon bc of haikyuu and one piece, so i'm somewhat new lol😭

beannieswife

The reaction to Cheeks 🍑 🤣

Santos Luna Ramirez

4:15 Cannon looking at Suna "He's underrated bro" He's my favorite character from Inarizaki. He's kinda in between Kunimi & Tsukki for me lol personality wise lol He is very hard to block that's why Tsukki solved that problem by narrowing it and letting Suna keep spiking so that the members will get used to it to receive.

Hem-ehem

same brig😭 i needed haikyuu to be one piece lenght, and yess, i feel like there's no sports anime like haikyuu, these characters are written with so much love and care, i literally feel empty every time i finish a rewatch💔 and ya'll are so real for loving the training camp arc, that will always be my comfort arc in anime. I'm really gonna miss your haikyuu reactions😞

beannieswife

There's a reply way back in past season comment section, the comment says they're going to animate all and gave the source link. Maybe the last movie will be a long one.

Hem-ehem

We all agree that we want more Haikyuu I would literally watch this show forever 😅

SlamboHamburg

Not only that it’s also the 3rd best selling media franchise in Japan 2024 too. So happy for Furudate 🥹

Nash

found this channel because of the haikyuu reactions can’t believe it’s ending already😭

Jasmin☆

They announced that there’ll be only 2 movies. First one was the dumpster battle. 🥲the only way they can adapt it faithfully is making the movie longer

Nash

Believe me anime just make you wanna even try once in your life. I thought cycling it's just deadss boring but damn Yowamushi Pedal it's fcking sick xD then I was like oh an anime of ballroom? yeah no fcking shoot this is interesting I'll give it a 3 ep and probably drop it later and my heart died when I realized there wont be a 3rd season... finally I was like OK there's NO FCKING WAY ballet anime is "cool" bruh I was goddamn wrong my heart also got destroy when I realised there wont be a second season.

Giuliano Venturo Gonzales

Also imagine Nekoma’s pov. Like they beat Karasuno every single time in practice matches in both s1 and s2. And now they’ve beat seijoh, Shiratorizawa and INARIZAKI??? If I was in Nekoma I’d be sick to my stomach 😭😭😭

Nash

Finally some Hoshiumi appreciation. He’s actually such a great character and some of his dialogues are so moving 😭

Nash

I agree! Ace of diamond is my comfort anime for a reason.

Irie

Also guys. There’s a haikyuu event on March 2nd so I think we’ll get more news about the last movie. They’ll probably reveal the movie poster or smthn or mention a season or OVA (coping like crazy)

Nash

How can people hate Hinata. Blasphemy

TT1000

Yeah, my ears hurt, lol. I can never get over pure laughter because of Hinata's cheeks 😂 Can't wait to see the movie next week! ✨💖

botanbutton

I feel like there should be 1 more season and the final arc would be good as a movie

Marcus

The last panel is so peak😭

Marcus

Studio Geck

Btw a lot of people like atsumu for reasons that cannot be mentioned. Also, I was not a fan of the Miya twins on the first watch. They grow on you. Especially Atsumu cause you hear him in S4 lowkey simping on Hinata a lot lol and I’ll leave it that. 🫶

lola

Yepp they did play the songs. I watched Japan vs Argentina match last year and they played the S4 OP. 🥹

Nash

🥹

Studio Geck

There’s an American football anime called Eye shield 21, it’s a fan favourite from the 2000s. Kuroko no Basket and Slam dunk are too great basketball series. Slams dunk is one of the best selling manga of all time but has a very old anime from the late 90s. Kuroko is a modern anime that’s not as deep or realistic as haikyu, very over dramatic, but so hype and a fun watch. Would recommend, it’s complete with only 3 reasons. But yeah, there’s basically an anime for every well known sport.

Marcus

I really like those bonus chapters too. Like the random conversations that happen between the characters. It’s really wholesome and funny too 🥹

Nash

Wow… what an end to the season. The reactions were everything I hoped for! It was a rocky first 8 episodes in S1 for the boys but now 4 seasons in, everyone is singing a different tune especially McKay. Oh what a character development that was!! Hahaha Anyways, I know yall are used to the action/fantasy anime’s but I hope you’ll give more sports animes a try. Top 5 sports anime for me, personally are… 1. Haikyuu 2. Ace of The Diamond 3. Blue Lock (S1 is PEAK, S2 is mid but the last episode of S2 is the best Blue Lock episode of all time hands down, hopefully Mappa or someone picks up S3) 4. Kuroko No Basketball 5. Aoashi As always! Thank you for the reactions!! Excited for what’s to come! 🫶

lola

You have no idea how hard the manga cooks in the last arc 😭😭😭😭

Nash

In my humble opinion, Haikyuu will have a perfect ending with an extra season + movie, but since they're insisting on making a movie, I hope we'll et at least two. And Carter is correct, the dynamic between the twins wasn't meant to be comedic; it's just how their relationship is. And instead of my top 3, I'll share my top 10 for the anime: 1. Bokuto/Hinata (yes, they're tied) 2. Hoshiumi (white bird hair) 3. Oikawa 4. Kenma 5. Miya Atsumu 6. Iwaizumi 7. Kuroo 8. Tsukki 9. Akaashi 10. Kageyama

Rayanh LaNansha

My top 5 Haikyu characters(with season 1-4 knowledge only): 1.Hinata 2.Ushijima 3.Atsumu 4.Daichi 5.Kageyama It’s really hard though, I have like 5 other characters I could swap out for Kageyama lol.

Marcus

It’s alright, but very overrated imo. The Art is amazing though

Marcus

Furudate lost the chance to milk this story because they thought people were not interested in the slice of life aspect. Like it has been said in a few interviews were they were asked why we don't see more of this and that and Furudate is just "I thought people wouldn't be interested in that!" Oh how wrong you are 😭 There is a light novel though that follows that aspect a bit more, but is not by the original author. I personally have not read it, but I've read some reviews and it looks like is good.

Ale

hearing your guys end discussion is making me cry all over again just thinking about how hard the manga cooks and we dont even get any extra seasons 💔

maria

I think the last paragraph is too much of a spoiler, it’s better as a surprise. They said not to tell them either. So please edit.

Marcus

Regarding future content of the series, I know how the rest of the series goes in the manga, and all I’ll say is, it cooks.

Marcus

So so happy you guys loved haikyuu, also I would definitely say a lot of haikyuu fans wished we got a season instead of movies but its still super enjoyable. Last thing is the ending to the manga is perfect even now when a manga ends a lot of people compare it to how good Haikyuus was

Breeze

They were “Messing around” because they never get to play such good opponents.

Sandi

Blue Lock for me is bad, especially if you actually watch soccer. The plot is cool but its hard to watch for me

Secretly

Kuroko no Basket is good, but it just isn't Haikyuu. It has its own thing going on and its own pull, but overall as a complete series I don't think any Sports anime comes close to Haikyuu

Secretly

McKay and Jack are twins Cannon and Carter are brothers, Carter is older than Cannon

Ale

LMFAOOOO

Nash

Thanks!!

peachy af

Bro I’d donate my kidney for them to release seasons instead of movies. The manga ending is soooo good and did all the character conclusions justice🥹

Nash

I thought they were just bros but not twins?

peachy af

Literally, the second movie has to be at least infinity war long or something

peachy af

but on another note, i loved watching you guys enjoy haikyu! i remember when you guys first reacted and i came across your video on youtube i commented something along the lines of “you guys might not get it now but soon enough you will be screaming at your tv then getting a snap back to reality and wonder why you’re acting like you are watching a real game”

brinabluuae

I'm sorry I can't shut up lol The Haikyuu manga actually made it to the top 5 best sell manga in 2024 which is crazy since the manga ended in 2020 Haikyuu was the only not ongoing manga in the list and yes it was bc of the movie. But not even with that fact producers decide to do another 2 seasons instead of a movie 😭

Ale

honestly i cannot think of a single haikyuu fan that doesn’t want the full manga adaptation, two movies are definitely not enough for the conclusion of haikyuu. furudate wrote an absolute wonderful story and a really hope a studio will pick it up and finish it or production IG decides to renew for another couple seasons until they finish the manga. Especially knowing Haikyuu has consistently been a money maker no matter how many years pass, when furudate puts out anything it automatically does well the haikyuu fandom is VERY big

brinabluuae

Me finding out McKay and Jack are brothers 😦 Me finding out cannon and Carter are twins 🤯

Sandi

I got you Peachy, it starts at 293 And actually 293 was not adapted in the movie, so you are in for a treat

Ale

Regarding your comments about sports anime, Haikyuu is definitely my favorite so I'm biased but there are few that come close (and are better for others) like Slam Dunk (basketball) or Hajime no Ippo(Boxing) Also there are sports anime almost for any sport you can think of. The prince of tennis is a famous one Eyeshield 21 is about American football There are swimming, track and field, cycling, golf, basketball, badminton, other volleyball, ice skating, diving, gymnastics... There is just so much even for sports that don't exist, traditional Japanese sports too and board games like Shogi. Anime is so broad you can actually go one genre at a time lol

Ale

we all wish haikyu was longer 💔 it’s frustrating because NOBODY asked for the whole last third of the manga to be done in just 2 movies… so much of what’s left is gonna be either super rushed or just completely cut from the last movie

An

I loved this series guys and I loved watching you guys react to the shows best moments. Can't wait for the garbage dump battle.

Chaerin Cho

Tbh he's a great character for me because of what you read in the manga. Miya is never really branded as a bad person too just incredibly passionate about volleyball like Hinata. Everyone on the couch just blindly being negative about him is frustrating.

Daveeed

Honestly yeah this blind hate from Cannon is frustrating.

Daveeed

It's "only" 77 chapters(first movie was 34 chapters) not 100+, but it's still a tall order. For reference, season 1 was 72 chapters. They're probably gonna have to make the 2nd movie significantly longer and skip some stuff.

Oromis

This fight for number one lmao. Goat who you wanna.

TT1000

this is a bit spoilery maybe you should edit it a little 😭

An

Nooooo I don’t want it to be over :((((

Elle

Not including the times I have rewatched this through reactors, I've rewatched this anime 15 times since I first watched it when I was in high school 8-10 years ago. My favorite seasons, in order, are 2, 4, 3, and 1. I don't hate season one at all, but compared to the hype of 2 and 4, the build-up of 1 is okay for me. I have tried finding other sports anime, but none feel as good to watch as this. I have even tried watching a golf anime because I absolutely adore playing it, but the animes I have watched make a complete mockery out of the sport, and it only took two episodes for me to drop it out of pure anger and frustration. I could only dream of a golf anime to even touch the toes of this peak anime. Looking forward to the reaction to the movie, despite it leaving out one or two scenes from the manga, overall, it was a magnificent adaptation..... I only wish they made only more season instead of one final movie after The Battle at the Garbage Dump!

ThePugProtector

That’s what I had heard too. And yes during the Olympics in both Paris and Japan the Japanese team played Haikyuu opening songs during the matches

TT1000

That last episode was absolute peak tho

lola

LMAOOO kakeru does look just like kageyama! that made me like him immediately haha

CC

Ye I hope they can do the ending justice with just one more movie, I think it will have to be significantly longer than the Garbage Dump movie in order to not feel rushed.

Oromis

Seasons: 2, 4, 3, 1 Matches: Shiratowizawa, Inarizaki, Seijoh(semis).

rudy_nightangeL

Imo Haikyuu and AoT are both very unique in that every season enhances the previous seasons. I loved both shows in season 1, but after every season, rewatching season 1 becomes better and better, and the same can be said for every season. The shows just build so well on what they've already established and it just feels like very tight story writing, there is almost no scenes/arcs that don't serve a specific purpose even if you dont realize it until 1-3 season later. I think for both Haikyuu and AoT the writers had most of the story and the character arcs/growth/flaws planned out very early and it stays consistent throughout. I also think that's why there isn't even more Haikyuu. Like I think everyone who watches Haikyuu agrees they would love to see this show going on forever if it keeps up this quality of writing, but that becomes harder and harder as you expand the scope of the story. So while I'm sad there isn't going to be another 10+ seasons of Haikyuu, I can also understand why the writer chose to do it this way. Also about the manga, not going to spoil anything but wanted to give some clarity on the chapter count and how much the anime has adapted, so if you'd rather not know things like that dont keep reading. The manga ended with a total of 402 chapters, and season 4 ends at chapter 292, meaning there is quite a lot of story left to tell. When they announced the final 110 chapters would be adapted in only 2 movies, I think everyone was a bit disappointed, but with how good the first movie was I have high hopes for the final movie. The first movie is already out now, and the final movie which will be the end is still to be announced.

Oromis

no show has impacted me the way haikyu has I love it with all my heart

farkzzy

haikyuu rewatch will make you love it 10x more I promise

farkzzy

I rewatch these two episodes a lot. I love how it's Hinata and Kageyama to stop the Miya twins. Cannon had me laughing with his facial expressions and then I lost it when he said, "Are those his cheeks?!" I am on chapter 55 in the manga and I feel like for the most part it follows the anime with some slight differences. But, I expect to see some stuff we didnt see in the anime in later chapters. I honestly hope that they surprise us and do more movies or seasons. And yeah, I could see this being more slice of life and would love to see their later years. That's why I'm reading the manga because I hope to see later years if there are any. This is my biggest thing with animes. I feel like they don't always finish them right. They do that a lot with slice of life. But Haikyu is popular so I'm surprised they didn't do more seasons.

Jenny D

Same

Sandi

It's crazy watching your post season thoughts after the final episode and comparing it to your opinions before you started the show. The skepticism was real for you guys, "it's just volleyball" was mentioned more than once. Skip to now and you guys are showing so much passion for these final moments in game and so much love for so many characters. Comparing them to other greats from GOT and AOT. Crazy how a show thats "just volleyball" can create so much hype, especially for Brig it seems as he related to so many moments in the show himself. So keen for the movie viewing and hopefully more after that!

Keanu Cullen

You guys were really going thru the Haikyuu experience at the end lol Not being able to pick a top 3 characters, wanting more of the series, yeah been there done that lol Regarding the desicion of doing movies instead of seasons, it's a major shame, but I guess Demon Slayer taught the production teams that movies leaves more earnings than regular TV seasons 😭 It's sad bc as much as I love the dumpster battle movie, it suffers from the time restrictions and a lot of things were cut off. They confirmed the project "Haikyuu The final" to be 2 movies and the dumpster battle is one of them, respectfully, there is no way to adapt what's left in 1 movie, unless it's like 3 to 4 hours 🫠 Either way, read the manga since vol 1, it's definitely worth it ❤️

Ale

I just made a similar comment regarding this, it's truly baffling this manga is not getting a full adaptation when it's this GOOD and POPULAR!! like I don't get it, I truly don't... some of my favorite moments won't ever be animated dudeee I'm gonna cry if I keep typing lol

CC

I was honestly shocked by Yowamushi Pedal. Similar to my start of Haikyu where I was like, I don't care about biking... how could this possibly be good. How wrong I was!

Neko

Im so glad yall understand our frustration. Specially because this isn’t even peak yet. The manga answers soooo many questions and has the most satisfying ending. Like the anime is amazing but only because the manga/story is great. So wholesome! Ugh petition to get the rest of the manga animated!!!!! Also, justice for husband. He’s a great character. I feel like all of us (husband fangirls) turn you guys off w how crazy we went for him🤣 yall don’t even know. He’s goated 😤 up there w Oikawa. Maybe on second rewatch yall will understand. I encourage yall to read the manga to see where this all goes because it’s amazing. Each character arc is wrapped up beautifully ✨ I love this anime so much🥺💕

Sandi

So real... this anime definitely deserves a couple more seasons, the manga cooked so hard, it deserves to be fully adapted. I don't understand the movie decisions at ALL, considering how popular Haikyuu is... just makes me sad when I think about it

CC

Run With the Wind is great! Someone in another comment called it Kageyama's Side Quest and I'm dead. Need to watch it again with that in mind 🤣

Neko

I'd rather they just adapt to a certain point and end it there, I can't imagine them putting more than 100 manga chapters in one movie and doing it well, its just not possible

CC

I would love to see Yowamushi Pedal reactions. It's such a random mix between horror/comedy that cracks me up so much at times.

Betty H

Oh I actually liked Aoashi anime. If the manga is better I'll have to pick it up.

Neko

I LOVEEEE ping pong, also currently watching RWTW and I really like it! Gives me that wholesome feeling that Haikyuu has too

CC

I do agree we need more and obviously the movie came out not long ago so I do believe they are cooking up more content. I will say without spoiling anything that the manga does continue and cover a lot of what you guys are asking for so hopefully we can get more!

Keanu Cullen

I'm watching a sports anime called Run with the wind rn and I'm really enjoying it, it's been so much better than what I expected

CC

Movie it's peak, and we are all confused how they are going to fit 100+ chapter into one last movie also yes manga it's over

Hector

Wait ACE is my favorite one piece character.....:9 grrrrr fight me

Luna Meow

I love these reactions! thank you guys so much for being open and giving Haikyuu the love it deserves. It's a shame the manga isn't going to be fully animated, but I just hope that in the final movie, they somehow manage to give it a fair closure since the end of the manga does justice to how good Haikyuu is!

Juanca

There are so many spoilers in this episode. I love it because you will only realize it once you are there. 🥰 "Is that ball the honored one..." Carter, please. This is a bit of a spoiler but the whole manga follows the story of the characters through adulthood. So, yeah. You will see a lot of things if they ever get around to animating it but probably not.

Joie Dianzon 🇵🇭

I sit here and laugh.Where the Gek's began and where they are now... How How can a volleyball anime be good.....We need more season of Haikyu.

Luna Meow

Yeah, it's unfortunately a bit too slow for reactions. I think it's because it was made for tv so there's a lot of filler. I obviously like it though since I'm still going after 200 episodes 😅

Neko

Run with the Wind is a 10/10!

alee

nahhh the bluelock hate comments down here are killing me 😭😭 (the s2 animation is trash) BUT ITS GETTING BETTER & THE PLOT IS FIRE

Illumi

Prince of Tennis is my ult fave sports anime before. Then when Haikyuu came, well.. it's Haikyuu all the way.. im so sorry my boy Ryoma 😅 And i do agree that I would not recommend to them PoT yet 😅

corLeonis

And the "we don't need the memories" banner showing up as the Miya twins do the minus tempo back attack. * chefs kiss *

Mariacake

Rage bait

Hector

Lol Cannon, them messing around wasn’t just an excuse. They were literally experimenting all game. 😭😭 they even mimicked Hinata’s and Kageyama’s quick then proceeded to make their own quick they never practiced or tried before FOR THE FINAL POINT OF THE GAME LMAO like what do you mean? 😭😂

Mason Schutz

Just finished first watch of AOT and I seriously needed this feel good content 😅 Of all the sports anime, Haikyu is by far the best. The others that come close are Ace of Diamond and (unexpectedly) Yowamushi Pedal. I'm also about 200 episodes in to Prince of Tennis, I wouldn't really recommend it as of now. Hoping the newer seasons are better.

Neko

We not going through that S2 😭😭😭

Hector

Haha what a joke! Get a grip !

Juanca

the ball falling through kita’s eyes….just straight peak

kai

Imo there are a few good sports anime out there like, Ace of diamond/ Run with the wind/ Ping pong the animation/Slam dunk... When it comes to manga, Aoashi and Blue lock are way better than their animes.

Juanca

Blue lock is the best manga but the anime kinda mid icl.

Sanji

Excellent recs for the first two. I plan to start BlueLock sometime this week. That's the only reason why I have no opinion about you recommending it.

Tina L

I freaking love Ace of Diamond, it actually rivals Haikyuu for me.

Betty H

I will probably pontificate more in the comment section for the movie, but I loved being here for this series' reaction. Seeing the Geks fall in love with the show and becoming fans of Haikyu!! and perhaps volleyball as a sport makes this anime and sports fan so happy. And getting to read and interact with the comment section here on Patreon has been a lot of fun. I hope to see you guys in the Mob Psycho comments, too!

Tina L

hinatas buns out at the end is the funniest moment to me idk why, the face he makes while swimming cracks me up every time

electriq

Brig I personally like Kuroko no Basket (Basketball Anime) more than Haikyuu if that gives you something to look forward to

KrispyKenny

I pulled my hair out when they didn't include some goated manga moments in the Battle of the Garbage Dump movie, and I'm pulling my hair out ever since finding out that the rest of the manga is gonna be bunched up into a single movie. I CRYYY

adi

1. Ace of Diamond 2. Kuroko no basket 3. Blue lock And so many other great sports animes, but these I highly recommend!!!!

Irie

2, 4, 3, 1 feels right! Love this season! Kageyama cooked

JC

The manga is complete, but there is still more to adapt. Hopefully the adaptations are quality. And yes, I would love 1000 Haikyu episodes. Lol

Elle B.

kuroko no basket or blue lock better be the next sport anime’s

kai

Ahhh you madddd

idk

If y'all watch another sports anime I hope it's Kuroko no Basket, Blue Lock is mid 🙂

Rage bait used to be believable

holy cope

The boys at the end wishing the author milked this and made it a slice-of-life is killing me, lol! They love this show so much now it's great

castles in the air

@idk ME TOO everyday i hope they upload it already 🥹

Christine

Wow… it’s crazy that our haikyu journey is coming to an end. It’s been amazing watching along with you guys. By far, watching along with Studio Gek has been my favorite compared to any other reactors I’ve watched Haikyu with. Sad we won’t be doing it anymore! All we have is the movie now :’( With the end in mind, for your next sports anime I truly think y’all would enjoy watching Ace of Diamond! Hope you guys can give it a shot. It’s a criminally underrated show that deserves more love and attention.

Irie

"I just didn't like the idea of being moist" All time quote along with "Give me the poop!"

Kite

Oh Brig don't hold your breath for Blue Lock....but there IS a great basketball anime! Kuroko No Basket!

khalxeesi

You Guys won't believe how the manga cooked , sadly we won't see it all animated. I wish we could get more seasons.

edin

Emotionally attaching to someone that is not the main character is the Haikyuu experience

khalxeesi

The Haikyuu manga has one of the best (and one of my favorite) endings of all time. I go back and reread the final arc OFTEN (and will probably do so after this video because I’m hyped about Haikyuu again lol). I hope every day that they go back and make another season after the next movie and end the series right. I will be heartbreaking if certain parts don’t get animated and it gets rushed at the very end for no reason.

Em

Yessss that’s what I’m saying

Irie

Video sponsored by redbull? Still more subtle than transformers advertising

Keanu Cullen

34:30 she is Yamamoto’s sister. The Mohawk guy in Nekoma

TT1000

I need to see their openings reaction so badlyyyy I hope it’s this week

idk

Given that you guys are always talking about basketball, I’d really recommend reading slam dunk’s manga. It had a lot of influence on haikyuu. Kinda like dragon ball with the big 3. I think haikyuu is better overall, but imo there’s a match in slam dunk that’s better than any single match in haikyuu. And that’s by a decent margin. Only caveat is that the first 30-ish chapters are mostly focused on the comedic aspect. So, if you don’t like its comedy, that’ll really affect your experience with the series.

Virgil Hawkins

Can someone tell me what chapter the dumpster battle starts on in the manga? Ive never read it but from what ive seen it looks phenomenal and i wanna read it

peachy af

Movie and opening (and ending?) songs reaction next 🥹🥹🥹

Christine

Haikyuu was already my number 1 when i watched it even just once but rewatching it multiple times on top of being an adult now too just cemented it as the king of kings like it's seriously irreplaceable

peachy af

Not standard at all but… 1. Daichi (easy number 1 for me) 2. Tsuki 3. Tanaka Oh and Erwin is the easiest number one of my life. A true man of progress. No back and forth. Solidified.

GreetswithJudgement

So fucking true geks haikyuu needs so much more and it just absolutely baffles me to the very core of my being that a show with this large of an impact (EVEN AFTER THE MANGA ENDED) doesnt get a season 5. Like if i think about it too long ill start crying

peachy af

Especially after reading the manga. This match is just too amazing

idk

Give us that Greys anatomy treatment PLEASE

idk

as someone who has never had an energy drink i’ve been wanting to try one lately since you guys are always drinking them in ur videos 🤣

An

every time i rewatch the anime i HAVE to go read the manga it’s just so good 😭

An

season 4 first exactly bestie

kai

I feel like you guys and anybody that hasn't read the Manga, should read chapter 293, it's about something important that was not adapted in the movie (just so the end of the movie gets you more in the feels lol)

Ale

every single time that line comes i remember the first time Kageyama said that and i just get so fcking hype

Don't worry, every Haikyuu fan is also pissed that its just the Garbage Dump movie and one more final movie. Especially since it was originally stated they would do a season 5 then backpedalled. That being said,,,,, this movie coming up does cook. So happy you enjoyed this show! It is a masterclass in character and relationship writing, and somehow makes hype better than most battle shonens that have powers.

There’s definitely a lot more that I would’ve loved to see, but for the most part it’s probably the most complete long running story I’ve experienced. Though, I can’t lie and say that I didn’t want more when I finished the manga.

Fun fact (someone correct me if I’m wrong I saw this like a few years ago) but when Haikyuu came out the sales in Japan it got volleyball back on the map and more people started playing it. During the Olympics last year the Japanese Olympic team were playing one of the Haikyu theme songs too! The creator Furudate must sleep so well at night knowing he created a masterpiece that inspired so many people to play a sport

idk

we all wish we could have gotten 16 seasons 😭

rene

very much would love to see this, slept on peak sports anime not a lot of people react too

swizur

I was so haikyuu deprived I started listening to the drama CDs LMFAO

idk

If you guys ever rewatch haikyuu in your spare time, I’d love an update or something. Rewatching this show makes you appreciate it so much more knowing what’s coming. And the things you feel are slow at the beginning only get better On a rewatch. I remember rewatching from season 1 and watching Tsukishima more closely and before on the initial watch I’d just ignore him but seeing him slowly get into it during s2 and then the payoff in s3 is just so good. I wish I could rewatch this show for the first time again. It’s one of the ones I wanna wipe my memory and rewatch like AOT.

idk

lmaoooooo lupa was gagged

kai

mannnn, i miss haikyuu. i’m gonna reread the manga 😔

jay

I have a feeling you guys will like ace of diamond. Their mc is similar to Hinata.

“Monsters’ Ball” is one of my fav episode titles! Love seeing y’all so hyped at the end of the match. That’s what I envisioned when we voted for y’all to watch Haikyu all those months ago. Like Suga, I couldn’t help but tear up over Hinata too. Can’t wait for the movie!

Most reactors forget that “this position this timing it’s perfect” line and how it’s the same thing Kageyama said in s1 when he did the quick attack. I even forgot too until I read this comment. W writing

idk

AGHH IM SO HAPPY HINATA MADE IT IN UR NUMBER ONES. LMAO. You guys I think are the only reaction channel that all have hinata in your top3. And I love that so much. I was so worried when you all started the show that you’d hate him especially with your reactions to the first two seasons but I’m so happy he won you all over. I love hinata so much I’m so happy he’s getting some love.

idk

"It's gonna get cold pookie bear take my jacket" LMFOAOAOAO thats a point for bokuaka nation

peachy af

Theres 400 ch in the manga and s4 ends around ch 290. The manga actually ended in 2020 and i agree with you guys that it should be longer 😭 this show is so good!

ωαям вяєαժ

At the end discussion, I don’t think anyone would disagree and if they do then they need to rewatch the show with their eyes OPEN😭

idk

Haikyuu s4>2>3>1 is how I’d rate it. I’m probably biased cuz inarizaki vs karasuno is my favourite match in the show. But I do wish we had more content about their lives outside of volleyball. I’m so attached to these characters and I just wanna see some slice of life too😭

idk

"Sorry, Inarizaki. I'm not even angry over you right now. I bear no grudge against anyone. It's just that the world feels so, so wonderful right now. Throughout Ceiling and Court, I alone am the honored one." - the volleyball, probably (18:56)

Kita mean's 'Ball' like a dance bro

The haikyuu movie in my opinion was good, it was just robbed because they tried to squish lots of chapters into one hour. I wish we had gotten a season instead. I know I say this a lot but I actually hope and pray they make the last movie a season because the amount of content they need to squish in is A LOT. like hundred plus chapters. I hope they switch studios or something and give us what we deserve

idk

Finally I can bring up one of my favorite things ever about Haikyuu - the repeat of “this position, this timing, this angle” throughout the series! It’s what Kageyama thought the first time he did the quick with Hinata. It’s what he also thought during the losing play against Seijoh in season 1. Their speed, which they considered their greatest weapon, ended up being the thing to lose them the game. Then, this season, the phrase is repeated the first time the twins use their quick copying Hinata and Kageyama. And in a similar fashion, it’s repeated during their losing point. It’s so fitting that Hinata and Kageyama stopped them in that moment because like Tsukki said “it’s not invincible” and they know that better than anyone.

Em

Kageyama's smug NICE KILL is so satisfying haha

Mariacake

Lupas reaction was so funny LMFAOOOOOOOOO
