I can’t!! The new videos are locked for me, so I can’t comment on the newest videos. Could you comment it for me please?

Lucía

When they upload Haikyu on Tuesday you should re-comment this!

Ladnon

Please buy the Blue-ray version for the 2nd part of season 4!!!! It was made in quarantine, so the animation looks off, but they fix it in the blue ray

Lucía

I've just saw/realised something that made me able to see why you picked Futakuchi for Brig. Anyways, I've edited my opinion in my first reply here after that realization. Thank you again for sharing your picks who are different from most here.

Hem-ehem

That weekend was so long! Can’t wait for today’s Haikyuu reactions. I wonder if they will watch S4 directly or watch the OVA. I like that we’re starting S4 mid-November. The season/weather matches the show’s season 🥹

Mariacake

I want but my working schedule is my number one hindrance, second is my health T_T

Bingsu

its time lets see whether we getting either OVA 4/5 or 4x1 - 4x2 today

kai

i have a genetics presentation and my last organic chem test today so imma really need that early upload to take the edge off yup!

peachy af

Haikyu day! Excited for season 4 reactions!

Jenny D

NOOOOOOO 🥲

bebe

i listen to the whole haikyuu bgm playlist on spotify (some of my personal favourites are from S4) but the artwork of them jamming with their brooms and mops lowkey fire ngl XD also yes this theme song makes my procrastinator ass so motivated to do shit

Clover

Imagine getting a notification that says .haikyu. 4x1-2☠️.

Nash

For those who are interested to hear the main theme of S3E10 of Haikyuu. I listen to this when I am out jogging: https://youtu.be/3uaktSbdSYk?si=-VcsFohEe64NjZx0

Joie Dianzon 🇵🇭

One more sleep and it'll be Haikyuu day!!!

corLeonis

OVA OKAY?

bebe

Kageyama has the highest contact point, but Hinata has the highest vertical jump when you account for their height difference

Thiivi

still hoping they're not skipping the land vs air OVAs because those have some of my favorite games :((

bokkun

There is one episode that has questionable animation.

TT1000

lmao what? that sounds so scary

Illumi

I rewatched the first ep reaction a few days ago and yeah, they were definitely skeptical in the beginning lmao

Illumi

haha like 6 people have said this, imagine they somehow still dont watch it lmao

Illumi

😂😂

Miguel

Yessir

Ron Jackson Jr

My thoughts exactly!

Moon

Hope they watch the OVA these ones are goated

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

Loll I wanted to hear who you all compared yourselves to but you cut it off 😆

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

I really hope they see the comments telling them to watch the OVAs. I’m like concerned now cuz we’ve explained how the tournaments work several times and they still don’t understand lmao. Don’t know whether they actually read the comments or just miss them

Nash

Also McKay saying that he's got goosebumps. WOW, the show did not disappoint :)

Patriicia

I rewatched it only once so I am very exciteeed to rewatch S4 yet again

Patriicia

that final point?? oofff the emotions!! i love it sm omg this whole match is insane, such a good season too <3 CANT BELIEVE WE'RE ABOUT TO ENTER S4????

sil

Lol, that would be such a treat~ I've been looking forward to them wrapping on S3 for so long for exactly that reason, bruh, it's always fun seeing the development along the way.

Arrielle Brooks

@clover Ninja Shoyo..Noya be so proud....but but but no Noya glazing sad...he needed to be there damn it (I shouldn't have too put a spoiler tag if you had one. I hope)

Luna Meow

@An :( not showing the 2 coach's back story. ugh they were wearing 5 and 10.(Kenma and Hinata numbers)....The whole reason why that game was so important. The scope of how it started. To where we are now. Half the stakes of the last movie was missing. Imagine what they'll cut in the next.

Luna Meow

The manga is so good. I have 2 take aways. 1.Read(and watch) Haikyu gives you a blueprint to being a better person. Talking about so much more then just volleyball. 2. Bokuto might have the best lines in the manga. (I didnt love him as a character till the manga)

Luna Meow

I'm glad McKay didn't listen to all the bums that told him to drop the show back in season 1, cause look at him now, out here getting chills and celebrating the teams hard-fought victory!

Wictor Whiskey Ahlund

I just finished it today and can't agree more 🤧

Ale

That’s insane

Ron Jackson Jr

YES CANNON YOU ARE STILL TSUKKI

༒ dianna ༒

Yeah that was so funny! One of them did say “you did great but yeah get outta there” 🤣🤣🤣 they went from “no way they’re going win” to wanting all the star players in the court 🤭

Mariacake

They need to do a side by side comparison of their first reactions vs their current reaction of Haikyuu 🤣

Mariacake

I do solo drills at home instead 😅 the volleyball I got is super cute, it’s white and teal like Aoba Johsai’s school colors. Might get their tshirt as a Christmas gift for myself 🥹 I have PCOS too!! My nails break easily and I get bruises frequently from just being alive 🧍‍♀️

Mariacake

Wow!

McKay Carter

I binged this show silently wrapped in blankets. By this episode, I was yelling and lightheaded, the blankets were nowhere to be found😭

jessiefungirl

Not sure if anyone commented about it already, but Hinata still has the highest vert! The only thing they measured was the distance between the finger print and the ground (130 inches or 10.8 feet, which makes sense since the ring is 10ft), but this doesn't take into account the height differences. So they're pretty much saying that kageyama and hinata have virtually the same score on the test and can reach the same point even though they have a massive height difference, which means hinata just jumps that much higher.

lololol

To clarify your questions about why Shiratorizawa doesn't get to go to nationals despite winning the Interhigh finals in their prefecture: ALL the teams in the Miyagi prefecture got a chance to go to the Interhigh nationals in June. Shiratorizawa won the finals then, so they went to nationals to compete with other winners of other prefectures and regions. HOWEVER, this tournament we're following now is a separate one from the Interhigh, called the Spring Tournament, and it happens in January. This is another chance for ALL the teams in the Miyagi prefecture, including Shiratorizawa, to go to nationals, for a second time. And this final match they just played happens around October. Shiratorizawa doesn't get special privileges for winning the previous tournament's finals. They have to play from the start to the finals again and WIN the finals again to go to nationals, but they were thwarted by Karasuno this time. There's really no deeper meaning to it. It's because they're two separate tournaments, and also because only one team from the Miyagi prefecture is allowed to go to nationals. If they were living in a bigger prefecture, then there might be multiple representatives. I love Haikyuu so much that I comment more than once on a reaction video despite the fact that I normally don't post comments at all JSBJHB Ushijima and Tendou are often shown as a pair because Tendou's a weird lil guy who likes to talk to him despite not getting much in the way of conversation. They're essentially best buds, like Tendou bragged (though whether Ushijima sees this as the truth is another thing). I totally get why you guys may not have clicked with or liked Shiratorizawa as a team, but I stand by my opinion that they're one of my favourites in the whole anime. I think they're great, wholesome together and complete each other like real friends do, especially the third years hehe. Loved the reaction to season 3, I can't wait for the OVAs and then season 4!! Things are about to be amazing for nationals!!

Moon

i need to see more noya-san appreciation bc the MAN that he is!!!

Clover

Nishinoya's double save in episode 9 still amazes me because it's literally so inhuman like HOW??? Super receives are truly the most hype thing in a match. He literally saved the team from losing so many times across the three seasons so far! There's too many details to point out in the last episode, but two of the most important things I thought you guys should know are these: Kageyama switched places with Hinata right when the ball was served on Karasuno's side, because he knew that Tsukki and the blockers were going to set up a trap to close in Ushijima's straight. He changed places with Hinata who was in the way of a cross shot, so that just in case Ushijima hit a cross, he would be there to receive it since his receiving skills are much better than Hinata's (and because Daichi was blocking and Nishinoya was out so they couldn't receive the spike). And sure enough, the trap was meant to completely block the shut out what would have been a normal straight, but Ushijima ended up changing the course of his spike last minute, as you saw his desperation to get past the block. And he ended up doing a cross, which is insane at that moment due to the exhaustion, the amount of quick thinking and ACTION you'd have to take to pull that off. And viola, Kageyama's idea paid off because he was there to receive the ball where Hinata would probably have failed. It's an amazing show of small details that they don't tell you, and is proof that you'd have to watch this over and over and over again to grasp what the hell was going on and how the events all connected with one another (or take the info from the comments section of other reaction vids HAHAH). And ofc, how could we forget the iconic metaphor when they were scoring the last, LONG point. Both Hinata and Tsukki are being held down (metaphorically) by Ushijima, because he's such a good player that they themselves are not nearly enough to defeat him. But then we have the seniors: Daichi, Asahi, Tanaka coming in one by one to help their juniors, and it's just such a poetic scene because it takes SIX to win in a volleyball game, and that's exactly what happened.

Moon

guys don't forget the bonus scene after episode 10!!! it's in youtube

Ayn Orbuda

So true!

Red

The end of the match is soooo beautiful!!! And my boy Kageyama cooking 🩷 lets go season 4!!!

JC

AHAHA When Ushijima raised his hand from the other side of the net, he was trying to apologise to Tsukki for hurting his hand in the last episode. But he didn't do it verbally so many people always get confused. And yes, Jack is right: Coach Ukai's VA did change. Season 3 episode 9 is the first time that we hear his new VA, because his old VA, Tanaka Kazunari died while season 3 was still being recorded. The fandom still mourns his impeccable work as Coach Ukai till this day, but the new VA does a really job job too! The part where Shiratorizawa's coach interrupted his assistant coach when he was saying Hinata almost seems like the Little Giant is another instance where we see him refusing to admit to himself that there IS another way to fight other than being strong and big. And they follow it up with him saying he wants to deny Hinata, and it gives you the feeling that he's actively rejecting himself rather than just Hinata, because he was in the same position as Hinata a long time ago, but chose to believe bigger will always be better. He's looking at Hinata and seeing himself, but doesn't want to believe the fact that he could have found another way to thrive in volleyball as a player, and he projects this onto a player in a similar situation as him. I just love Furudate's subtle storytelling as he weaves in the little details about the characters in such minute ways.

Moon

The Haikyu effect: you start the show thinking « a volleyball anime? Really? » then you end up yelling like a mad dog by season 3

Stanley Labissiere

We gotta admit it, although we don’t want it to end, the ending of the manga was already perfect at where it was. 😎

questta

so many have mentioned this already but yes dont forget to watch the OVA Land vs Air (2 eps) first before starting S4. that's still part of the main story.. oh there's a post credits in ep 2 as well

Ari

Brig is so real for that

Nash

Oikawa is THE no 1. The other top 3 for him are Kageyama then Daichi then Tsukki

Hem-ehem

Noya is not a side character that's why I said "most"

Hem-ehem

Fair. I didn’t even notice that I only picked side characters. I don’t consider Nishinoya a typical side character though. Not by Haikyuu standards where so many aside from the two main get so much attention in the story.

TT1000

i love shiratorizawa as a team tbh, i understand why they didn't click for you since we got so much more in the manga, but they are genuinely close friends. that's why they all call ushijima by his first name, and mostly all of the other players refer to each other by their first names too. they also live together, since shiratorizawa has dorms, and their dynamic is genuinely wholesome to me because everyone has some sort of personality flaw despite all of their talent at volleyball which would probably make them outcasts elsewhere, but in this team they all genuinely like and accept each other. (ushijima is stoic, tendou is quirky, semi has a need for attention, shirabu can be kind of mean, goshiki is very childlike, etcetera) but it works for them.

bella

Wait I’m confused with Brig’s ranking. Are Kageyama and Oikawa both top 1? Followed by 2-Daichi and 3- Tsukki? Also I love how Cannon is appreciating Goshiki🤩

Nash

I love how the Geks started off so iffy about the show and really thinking they wouldn't like it. Look how far we've come.

Josh F

Being a libero, thats so cool! Tbh sports are all a distant dream for me though because I'm i didn't win the genetic lottery with height or weight (PCOS) so i just kinda watch from the side like "damn i wish that were me"

peachy af

@peachy try it out! Volleyball is hard but it’s still really fun. I sucked at it in high school and didn’t continue 😭 I do want to play again and try to get better cause my passing was trash & they made me a libero lmaooo

A_Daddy Daichi

Literally goosebumps every single time I (re)watch

Nico

Don't forget to watch the OVA Land vs Air 😊 so glad you guys liked season 3, I know you're going to love season 4. There's lot of great character moments

SlamboHamburg

GEKSSSS please update us whether youve watched the OVAs or not, they really fill in the gaps before s4!!!!

bokkun

Though this comment may have no relevance, possibly because you guys may have already started watching season 4, I highly recommend, if possible, to try and watch at least Part 2 of season 4 in Blu Ray. For context, the 4th season of the anime was actually released over 5 years after the release of the 3rd season (Karasuno vs Shiratorizawa), which is probably why the art style of the series had changed for this season. More specifically, part 2 of the season was created and released during the COVID-19 pandemic. That's actually why the fourth season is split into two parts, and because of that, there are certain episodes, specifically in the second part of season 4, that have weaker animation/art, likely due to some scenes or episodes being outsourced to other smaller studios. If you want some examples of some of the changes or fixes that were made in the Blu-ray in comparison to the traditional TV release: ------ POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR PART 2-------- https://www.reddit.com/r/haikyuu/comments/lmg5cg/the_blu_ray_version_of_season_4_has_fixed_a_lot/ https://www.reddit.com/r/haikyuu/comments/llfjsn/some_season_4_vol5_bd_corrections/ --------------------------------------------------------- At the end of the day, whichever way you guys choose to continue watching the series is totally up to you; I'm just recommending an option that could give you the best viewing experience. Outside of that, I truly enjoyed the ride up to now, and I can't wait to see your guy's reaction to the next season and nationals. Also, as a heads up, like many other comments in today's post, don't forget to watch the OvA Land vs Air because it gives context to what's happening with our Tokyo teams. But also, before you watch the OvA, I highly recommend watching the Shiratorizawa third year's farewell snippet, similar to the one you guys saw from Aoba Johsai's third year.

Rohan Gladson

I bought a volleyball 🏐 even though I don’t play just bec of Haikyuu. I want to play but I just know I’m going to suck 🥹

Mariacake

Gentle reminder not everyone has reached full potential yet. You think that's the best that Tsukki, Kageyama and Hinata can do? 😂😂😂

Joie Dianzon 🇵🇭

Tbh I hated volleyball when I was in school. Middle school started it for me. I was the 2nd smallest kid in my year. Volleyball was harder for me due to my size and I hated receiving lol I started to appreciate this sport because of Haikyu. When I was 13/14, people who don't know me thought I was 9 🥲 That's how small I was. Grew up to normal height for my age at 16.

Hem-ehem

alexis, literally!!!

A_Daddy Daichi

I like how you mostly use side characters of Haikyu here.

Hem-ehem

if you’re curious about the timeline: - End October: Miyagi Prefecture Spring Tournament Qualifers so basically Johzenji, Wakunan, Seijoh and Shiratorizawa matches - December: National Youth Training Camp that Kageyama was invited to - January: Spring Tournament Nationals So they do have some time to rest and train before Nationals after the shiratorizawa match

Clover

17:25 McKay says he hates Tendo. He hates Tendo like Kei Tsukishima hates Tendo at that moment. Look at Tsukki's eyes right there! Tbh, i don't think Tsukki has ever hated anyone from what's been shown in Haikyu. Only at this moment, it's clear that he's pissed at Tendo.

Hem-ehem

I truly, truly, wish that you guys give the manga a chance, if ever. Maybe on yalls own time if you ever want to, because despite how good the anime is, I have to say the manga is at least three times as good. There's certain things that couldn't be portrayed in the anime due to cuts/managing episode time&length as well as the budget. The anime is a masterclass, don't get me wrong, and season 4 will be just as good as these first three seasons have been, but you miss out some key details and scenes with the anime. The manga expands on everything you could think of and has crazy good comparisons, themes, life lessons, realism, and so many other aspects that you just don't get in the anime. The manga IS finished so if you guys ever do decide to read it you won't have to wait for releases. The ending of the manga is probably one of the best I've ever read in my life, and the journey this story brings us through is absolutely peak the whole way through. If you thought these first few seasons were good, you would be blown away by some of the content in the manga (if it gets adapted). Sorry if this is a little bit of a yap and glaze sesh but I just had to throw some appreciation out there. Haikyuu is a masterclass and you realize that there is so much to it than just volleyball. I think Jack and Carter especially would like the manga as it really gives you more insight and fleshes stuff out. Case in point: peak show. Peak anime. Peak manga. Peak story. It really doesn't get any better. 🙏Love y'all, hope you enjoy the next season and the movie, just as good.

Jackie Liang

It still shows whose the best teams at these tournaments and you do win trophies and money toward your team for winning

Jack Klosterman

"Volleyball idiots" is the literal translation for the episode, and how Shiratorizawa likes to call Ushijima, but it doesn't necessarily mean something bad or insulting. In Japanese it is used more to refer to people who are crazy about something and can't think of anything else, almost like saying "they go dumb for..." i guess. In this case the title of the episode makes a reference to how Hinata and Ushijima "go dumb for volleyball" because of their drive and passion to play and their love for volleyball, and they are willing to push through anything to do crazy plays.

Gabriela Manrique

That's one of the reasons I love Hinata!

Hem-ehem

Fall for volleyball is basically just practice in most levels of volleyball. You have tournaments but you don’t start ranking against your teams and the country till spring

Jack Klosterman

Yes please do!!!

TT1000

jack being generous with ushiwaka’s age like 25??? nah man’s AT LEAST 35, he’s fr a full time farmer who’s passionate about fertile soil and volleyball 😂 jokes aside, i love how the scene where ushiwaka was pinning tsukki and hinata down looked so scary but hinata’s just like DAMN IT THIS MAN IS SO FREAKING COOL, his reaction brought a smile to my face. No despair, just admiration from this baby sunshine.

Clover

McKay - (better fit in season 4) Morisuke Yaku, says it like it is and is confident Brigg - Kenji Futakuchi, cheeky and assertive Jack - Eikichi Chigaya, friendly and a puppy Carter - (there is a better fit from the manga) Yū Nishinoya, loud and always in someone’s personal space Cannon - (also a better choice in manga) Yūji Terushima, energetic and flashy

TT1000

that hurt me for some reason but also made me laugh, cannon is such a nervous wreck he can’t be bothered with the NPCs anymore 😂

Clover

I personally really wanna play now but ive never played a sport and im in college so i dont think i can 😭😭😭 it seems so fun

peachy af

will say, highly recommend you to watch the OVA land vs air before tackling season 4 if no one else has mentioned it already! it happens between s3 and s4, so it's a good watch beforehand

Ash

I would like to ask, did you guys feel like trying volleyball after watching this show? idk just curious. In my case I really felt more interested in the sport, so much so that my friend and I went to a practice class once, but then the covid came and we couldn't continue :c Looking forward to seeing your reactions to season 4! love you guys

Chito

No wait… I get it now.. lol

TT1000

Did the image disappear?

TT1000

Aishiteru Tsukki! You've changed a lot!

Hem-ehem

You guys will like season 4… minus that one episode.. lol

TT1000

This 👆 Carter !

Hem-ehem

yio, it’s so peak because to me there’s a few moments you could be talking about 😭

alexis ♡︎

🤣🤣🤣🤣 they roast all npc looking characters in haikyuu 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

corLeonis

Lol, yay! Ya'll finally finished my all-time fav season of the show~ Throwback to when ya'll were all "How the Frick are there nearly 100 episodes of this?" 😂

Arrielle Brooks

Yea its sad and honestly doesn't make sense considering how much of a money maker it is, they should stretch it out as much as they can 😔 I loved the movie but honestly they had to cut some stuff out for that too so I have no idea how they'll pull off shoving so much into just one more unless its like 4 hours (which obviously isnt happening 😭)

An

Loved it when the first ep ended and some of you were twitching for the next one lol

TT1000

"go back to your box" & "get outta here NPC" was kinda mean don't do Narita like that.. LOL!

Brooke C

We might get manga bonus one shots/extras from furudate now and then but the story is completed and wrapped up in the manga so new chapters are unlikely. You’re right about there being another movie though, and of course I’m with you in hoping and assuming that they make a S5.

Clover

manga spoilers! damn jack i wish we couldve seen the first years as second years and third years too, sucks that we only get artworks and a couple of manga panels. We were robbed of third year hinata, he was looking a little too fine 😭 ok but im ready for ninja shoyo 😌

Clover

another movie coming out.. unreleased manga eps and another mixed studio rumored. you can assume there gonna continue to make money on the anime

Colin Boehling

bro i wish that was the case too 😭 but we gotta accept reality

Clover

I'm suspecting for Haikyuu they watch at least a week earlier then posting date because they can't wait 😏. Even if not they have 40-200 comments per video on Patreon + YouTube. If they have anything going on in real life I can see them skipping comments unfortunately 😭. They need mods

kkcat

Because to Kageyama, Oikawa is more intimidating 😂

Hem-ehem

@questta you’re right!! my first watch i was too nervous and had strong feelings in wanting karasuno to win and go to nationals that i found it hard to focus on shiratorizawa’s side/backstories

Clover

manga isnt finished. its on break.

Colin Boehling

I don't think it is confirmed, but it is highly theorized that Ushijima is autistic. He only has feelings for volleyball, which is why they call him the "Super Volleyball Idiot", because he basically only cares and knows volleyball. And the reason he does not show that much emotion is that as well, he is not good at show emotions, probably because of his autism. That is also why Tendo is such a good friend to him, Tendo also shows autistic tendencies and they can relate to each other.

Albin Limani

the sigh i let out hearing them ask about that AGAIN like you can’t do nothing but laugh 😭

kai

Superman is still the goat though.

Sasha

the Japanese symbols one was such a banger 🤣

yio

Unfortunately it's been confirmed that we're only getting one more movie 😔 which is why I'm 100% reading the manga afterwards!

yio

Most people don't notice this but Kageyama was the only one that was not under Ushijima during "He's so damn cool" sequence. :)p

Miguel

Season 4 was solidified as my favourite after one moment

yio

McKay = McKei Tsukishima lol

Hem-ehem

Yes, Jack /Yamaguchi!

Hem-ehem

Yeah i get being called an "idiot" is kinda negative for english speakers, but in haikyuu they're basically just calling him volleyball-obsessed

tskjn

that's what i said like 😭😭😭

peachy af

6:57 ayoo Brig and McKay always about that devious stuff😂

Sasha

I want them to do a draft so bad, just so I can see the rest of them get upset when they can't have HIM, Ryu-uno-ske TANAKA! Anime be wild, I bet in the manga Tanaka becomes God. AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

BubblePriest

agreed, yup

Sandi

i agree^^

Sandi

38:39 bro no offense but what is Jack on about?? There have been hundreds of comments explaining the tournament format and why they had to play against Shiratorizawa in this tournament. How can he say that no one has explained it yet 😭

yio

honestly, as a girl who doesnt understand or watch sports. i didnt get it either, but i also didnt question it lol

Sandi

this is spot on

Sandi

Yup i actually like s4 art style and most its animation compared to other seasons. Yall dog on it waaaay too much

peachy af

Dont worry Jack, even thought he manga is over, they def show us more than what we expected to see. Yall will get the big picture later. Also when they called Ushijima a "volleyball idiot" they meant it in a way that shows that he's obsessed w/ volleyball. Same way kageyama and hinata are. Volleyball is all they think about. They're built different. I really like Brigs idea of comparing the characters to the geks. I myself, really like oikawa bc i could sympathize with his mentality of feeling like he's not talanted but putting in the work to achieve a state where it looks like its a talent. Brig- oikawa Carter- daichi/suga Cannon- iwaizumi/tanaka/bokuto Jack-hinata/takeda McKay- tendo (jk) 🤣 fr tho, Tsuki/kenma

Sandi

They gotta be trolling atp 😂

tskjn

After this entire season, all I have to say is— SHI-RA-TORI-ZA-WA 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

dotsae 🇧🇷

Same, daddy 😭

Ashley K

nishinoya watching gore is insane

boop

Season 4 is so much fun! It became my favorite after a couple rewatches

A_Daddy Daichi

🤝

Ashley K

Haven't gone through all the comments to see if anyone has mentioned this already, but Jack noticed that Karasuno's coach sounds different. Indeed it is a different VA. Unfortunately, the VA that had been on the show since season 1 passed away (cancer) during season 3 production. They had to change it halfway through.

AnonX

I was waiting for nishinoya’s dig!

A_Daddy Daichi

Excited to watch my favorite season (it's a mix of peak and secondhand embarrassment) 😍

tskjn

Just a warning: season 4 animation changes and the characters are drawn differently. It might get a little wonky at times but remember that it was released during peak COVID so please be a bit more forgiving 😅

tskjn

Unfortunately, covid and cuts are definitely seen in the second part of the show... but overall I think the best animation of season 4 surpasses the best of the other seasons

Stanley Labissiere

There is no “toxicity” lol. I like Tendo (I initially didn’t btw) and I actually think it’s funny they don’t like him. Why is it so serious if someone doesn’t like a character on their first watch?

A_Daddy Daichi

Nishinoya's insane clutch save gets me every time Are you guys planning to watch the OVAs that show the Tokyo qualifiers?

Tubasmitty2

I feel like this is most accurate

A_Daddy Daichi

ahhhh thank you!

A_Daddy Daichi

@peachy haikyuu deserves better than to be called bad at any point

boop

omg yes 😂

A_Daddy Daichi

Genuinely not ready for the animation and art change of season 4 , I’ve already rewatched it with another reactor and some parts are just so jarring, like it’s okay in the beginning but then it gets me at points. I know some people like the art change but I really don’t, and mixed with the bad animation it just gets me 😭😭

I’m Tired

I thought I was the only one thinking this. I know that they try to make it look the same as the manga (artstyle) but......

corLeonis

Omg SEASON 4 LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

corLeonis

He’s so fkn funny

A_Daddy Daichi

The 3rd years crying after winning will never not get me 😭😭

A_Daddy Daichi

its only like one episode and its not even consistently bad why do people talk about it like this 😭😭

peachy af

I'm gonna say it again, my all time fav characters in Haikyu are Hinata, Oikawa and Tsukki! They all have the most interesting personalities for me.

Hem-ehem

I didn’t like him when I first watched Haikyuu but I noticed Furudate-sensei has a thing about making the character mean/look bad and then later that character is actually okay or even super cool. He did that with a lot of other characters but Tendo stood out as most antagonistic out of everyone bec of the singing and the vibe he has 🥺

Mariacake

🤣 right?!

Mariacake

35:10 I really love this moment of them two, Ushijima & Tendo... Just how Tsukki and a few others affected by Hinata in a good way.. Ushijima's became one of them too.. Here, super stoic Ushijima finally feels something..

Hem-ehem

Yeah it’s a bit of a mistranslation or just “Baka” is used differently, Ushijima is just crazy about volleyball basically, not that he’s an idiot 😅 I think “Huge Volleyball Nut” would be a better translation than Super Volleyball Idiot.

Mariacake

30:32 Ushijima walks away and we see Kageyama, Hinata and Tsukki in the background looking at him.. Those 3 1st Years were crucial in taking the Miyagi volleyball "giant" down..

Hem-ehem

valid, idk why people say s3 is better than s4, each to their own

Jenu

So true @An, the move's animation alone was enough to make me cry

peachy af

ooooh shoot jack/yamaguchi works too! i didnt even think about that

peachy af

Wohooo I was thinking of watching this after work but I can no konger wait 😆 I'll watch it right now at work theb

corLeonis

The Japanese symbols one absolutely ended me lupa is so extra i love it

peachy af

you were right about the voice actor sounding different, unfortunately the VA passed away and had only recorded 8 eps

Nika

IMO season 4 is better although it has some shit episodes due to production issues during covid. the 'antagonist' characters are way more interesting than Ushijima and have more personality and the peak moments are just insane, you will love it

Marlon

They told people to stop making comments like these. Let the good moments come naturally instead of always alluding to it like people did with tsukki this season

peachy af

I think in the Haikyuu verse, The Geks would be: Carter: Daichi He's got that "captain" vibe, a mature one. He comes across as a sincere, empathetic and flexible person, who would be good at advising or commanding others. Bro's got that Shinzou Sasageyo aura 😂 Brig: Oikawa+Kuro Both of them understand the game. They have THE "vision". Oikawa is a shrewd athlete with a silly, sarcastic side to him. He is also very unapologetically himself, same as Brig. Kuro is open-minded, sassy, blunt and playful. Brig gives off both their personalities combined lol. He also doesn't let anyone else influence his opinions. He is pretty calculating and confident.🔥 McKay: Tsuki+Nishinoya He's Tsuki because of his character development lol. Bro was so wary of volleyball, so bored of it, literally staring at a wall, in the beginning, and now he is into it. And, he is Nishinoya for his uplifting vibe, and devious grins. He seems to be a fun-loving person, who appreciates style. Nishi literally joined Karasuno (that had been termed as a fallen powerhouse for a while) despite being a prodigy for the drip. Bro's priorities are different lmfao. I also feel like if Nishinoya were to watch gore, he would also be smirking like McKay does 🤣💀 Cannon: Iwaizumi+Bokuto Iwaizumi has that "no bullshit" attitude, and that just spells Cannon for me. And he resembles Bokuto only when he slips into his emo-mode during matches, freaking out, talking trash about the other teams lol. 😭 (There are a couple characters in season 4 that suit Cannon better tbh) Jack: Shoyo+Takeda 🤣 Well, he is like Hinata with his jumping and optimism. Bro's literally "it isn't over until it's over" in all of Karasuno's games. He WAS the only one who showed some positivity when the match initially started, while the others were literally like: The odds of them winning are +3000. And, he also reminds me of Takeda, every time I see him confused over volleyball rules 😅 He also seems very persistent and supportive. This is just what I see when I look at them. I may be totally off the mark with this one, as I don't know anyone personally, of course 😁

HNadR

The "Super Volleyball Idiot" comment was like the author telling the audience that Ushijima is super obsessed with and passionate about volleyball despite his stoic demeanor! Its why he got so angry that Hinata was doing well despite not dedicating himself to the foundations of the sport (technique, serving, blocking, recieving, etc). His teammates were basically teasingly calling him a volleyball nut lol

shojo sommelier

I think jack might be able to lose his cool like suga sometimes lol but him and suga are both usually so sweet!

peachy af

Bruh there's no way you guys are still confused about the 2 nationals per year COME ON

Marlon

Season 4 hits different 😭

Mariacake

Ushijima raising his hand to Tsukki when he came back was him apologising to Tsukki for hurting his hand. Nice little indication of Ushijima's sincere and straightforward personality :)

Alex

I can agree with all the picks! Except for Cannon. Cannon is not a "quiet" character like Kunimi. I can see why Lev, because he's more vocal but Lev is so unabashedly confident about himself to be the best! that he sometimes annoys me LOL

Hem-ehem

He’s McKei 🤣

Mariacake

Tsukki/Daichi❤️

GreetswithJudgement

as much as ppl in the comments are gonna come for y’all about disliking tendo, imo it’s completely justified. some characters are just more palatable compared to others. tendo is a character that u sort of have to immediately like in order to get the hype around him.. he’s not necessarily a grower like bokuto (ppl are gonna come for me with this comparison too oh no 😭😭). although tendo’s chracter was essential in giving depth to shiritorizawa as a team and giving comedic lightness to more emotionally heavy scenes, he can come off as annoying at times. not to say that he isn’t a great character, but i can understand when ppl find themselves disliking him.

jailynn custodia!!

I feel Jack is more of a Suga BUT! With the temper Suga's been showing in recent matches and how loud he's been as well from the box, it's kinda hard to see Jack like that lol he's cool as ever.

Hem-ehem

They changed the art style for S4 to resemble the manga more, but the animation quality went down due to low budget and staff cuts at the time because it was produced during covid.

Ashley K

1:04 Carter, so sorry you couldn't find a good Daichi t-shirt.. the 3 most famous Karasuno merchandise (t-shirts included) are Hinata, Kageyama & Tsukki. Maybe of those 3, people could easier find good ones. Ange, of Carlie & Ange bought a Karasuno black jersey. I saw him wearing one in one of the reactions. You can ask him where he bought his if you want.

Hem-ehem

NISHINOYA DOUBLE SAVE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

Kite

Lev is a pretty cool comparison. Youngest but doesn't get overshadowed by the older guys. I also feel like he would have that cockiness on a gek volleyball team.

Secretly

The manga is over but the anime hasn't adapted all of it yet, theres actually quite a big part of the manga left so it would be disappointing if they just finish it off with one more movie because that would be cutting out a LOT

An

“Hes top two… top two of my most hated” 😭😭

Pavlo

Jack - Suga and maybe Yamaguchi (?) - he has this calm and kind aura/manner of speech, also he kind of has this reassuring vibe like Suga does aka 'mr refreshing' Cannon - Lev mixed with Kunimi from Aoba josai - idk why, he was the hardest for me to identify with Hiakuuu characters for some reasom, I think he can be just as energetic as Lev but also just as calm as Kunimi sometimes. Carter - Daichi - he stands his ground when it comes to opinions (and always clear as to why he thinks a certain way), edits and posts the videos (basically manages patreon the most as far as ik so, in a way, he leads). Also I think he is the gek that keeps the flow of the video the most (as in greets, starts intros and outros, etc) McKay - Tsukki and maybe Kenma - he seems just as calm and calculating as they are, also the manner of speech is very similar too Brig - Kuroo - he seems just as playful and calculating as Kuroo is, has this smug (in a positive way)/confident attitude. Also even though I've never seen Brig play ,based on his personality my first assumption would be that his style is similar to Kuroo's . P.S. there are def season 4 characters that some of you fit better so can't wait for you to guys finally see them)) Great reactions as always. This channel GENUINELY makes my daily life so much better. It at least made the people around me less annoyed since I no longer eat their brians out by asking them to watch certain shows with me lmao. These last 7 months hadn't been so fun for me so I am glad I found this channel in the right time to make things more interesting for me :)

Ayaulym🇰🇿

Tbh this comment is a bit parasocial lol I don't know him personally. But from the vids, he gives me the Hinata vibe from outside of volleyball. Kind of timid, but once he starts talking about something he likes, he gets going.

Secretly

i like the art style of s4 but the animation at some points felt a little off, movie was beautiful tho

An

mckay giving tsuki energy lowkey

jailynn custodia!!

Jack is absolutely not hinata😂😂

Studio Geck

brig as lev is so fitting actually

jailynn custodia!!

that noya dig + asahi kill play is sooooo underrated.. im happy that y’all got hype for it cause they quite literally saved the game ‼️‼️

jailynn custodia!!

Season 4 already next week!! Feels so bittersweet. 😖

Mariacake

Yes! They’re two different tournaments 😭🤣

Mariacake

Kazunari Tanaka-san rest in peace 🙏🏻

Mariacake

I didn’t know Haikyuu has an official online store 😭🥹 checking it now!!!

Mariacake

tbh that wonky animation only stands out in like 1 episode and ive always been surprised to hear people speak on it as much as they do, s4 by far has the best camera movement's of any of the seasons for me

peachy af

asahi looks like a whole father and it took me a little getting used to but i like kuroo's a lot! and all of the Pretty Setter Squad got an upgrade in my opinion

peachy af

what

peachy af

LOVEE THE REACTION AS ALWAYS!! Yes, the illustrations change in season 4 but I actually prefer it now. The animation pops off at some very pinnacle points. Season 4 is easily my favorite season… I truly cannot wait to see you guys start it 😭 P.S. sad fact… but yes the coach’s voice is different because the original VA passed away. 🥺

lola

I like some more (bokuto) but some I don’t like (Asahi and kuroo)

vally

becuase hes so slow XD

Colin Boehling

What toxicity? They are just stating an opinion and a quite popular one too. I don't know a single person irl who liked Tendo on the first watch. Also what do you want them to do? To subdue their genuine reaction and opinion about a character ?

Ayaulym🇰🇿

yeah but it's been multiple times over multiple episodes so

peachy af

Ok ok geks as hq characters would be Jack: Hinata or Suga Cannon: As funny as the tsukki thing is, he feels more like maybe a Kuroo or Iwaizumi Carter: Daichi Mc(Kei): TSUKKI Brig: Honestly, this one's the hardest for me to narrow down, but he could be like an Oikawa and that's probably just because he likes him so much

peachy af

i love s4's art style, i think most characters look so handsome. ESPECIALLY bokuto he's gorgeous

peachy af

Oh there is definitely flaws in season 4. In some shots the ball doesn't even squish on impact and that's the basic bouncing ball. For animation to make it to screen you can see them skip shading all together. I can *feel* the animators fighting for their life especially during the second half of season 4.

kkcat

Just a heads up fellas, not that it really matters, but the art for season 4 is a little different than the previous seasons. It feels like they tried to modernize it a little. So the character designs are almost a little "sharper?" The lines are darker and such, idk, you'll see what I mean almost immediately. I knew about it beforehand, and I was still caught a little off guard. It's sorta jarring. It's not bad, that's not what i'm saying, its just very obviously different. Hope you guys enjoy season 4, i'll be here watching, as always. It's dope. Lotta new faces.

Dakota

honestly, i get what they're saying about ushijima's personality. but also i think he was unironally written to be autistic and, like me, i feel things deeply but i have a hard time crying over things that make me sad sometimes too but thaaaats just my two cents

peachy af

To me that means he's the same flavor of super volleyball idiot Kageyama is and his teammates treat him accordingly

kkcat

They're probably too busy to keep up with comments they look pretty tired

kkcat

and i feel like the boys are not reading cmmts or not remembering what we explain. I hope someone reminds of the extra scene and two OVAs to them

bebe

the best season (for me) is coming up. cant waitttttt

bebe

carter was SERIOUS about that jersey like someone get my guy an authentic daichi one immediately

peachy af

Underrated MVP

Secretly

Let me know if I should explain 😅

For each character: Jack : Hinata Carter : Kuroo Cannon: Iwaizumi Brig: Lev McKay : Matsukawa (Third year Blocker from Seijoh)

IM SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO SEE THE 4TH SEASONNNN, can’t wait for you to meet my favourite character :)))

Rei

yeah i don't have an emotional attachment to shiratorizawa like i do other opponent teams that's the only reason this season isn't #1 for me

Vol

i feel like we've explained why shiratorizawa isnt in nationals mutliple times lol

peachy af

I see why Cannon dislikes Tendo. He is a rager when he games and Tendo would make him really mad lol. That being said, I like Tendo a lot. This season would miss a lot if he wasn’t there

kaan

been awhile geks, but im excited to see what y’all think of my two all time fav haikyu eps ever!

jailynn custodia!!

Manga is finished but the anime isn’t caught up !

Secretly

Just in case you guys don’t know. There are 2 national tournaments per year, Spring tournament and Inter high tournament. So Shiratorizawa would have gone to nationals 5 times in a row.

Secretly

wait i thought that only started in season 4?

Illumi

Last reminder to watch the the OVAs before season4. Land vs Air and The Path of The Ball

Izaya

Yeah i dont know. There are many great characters in season 4. There is a least two that can be top 3 and haven't been introduced yet

Izaya

Kckay is Hinata (because he is the most simple-minded) Brigg is Kageyama (because he is also sort of simple-minded but seems to be mere focused) Carter is Daichi, Jackson is a mix of Hinata and Asahi (because he is so emotional and anxious,, tends to overthink a lot) and Cannon might be a mix of Tanaka and Tendo cause he likes to talk shit and bully the losers. No one is like Oikawa cause Oikawa is unique and there is no one like him in the world

Izaya

season 4 is the best season imo

Karma

-jack: kenma+hinata? which is kinda weird as they're complete opposites -cannon: tanaka + kageyama? -captain carter (who else was I supposed to pick, he does feel like a mix of all the 3rd years) -mckei -brig: I can't get a good read rn, but I'll go akaashi, with hints of kageyama and noya?

jessiefungirl

We all talking about tsukki's character development but can we talk about mckay's development from S1 to now! This the real character arc the fans wanted!!!

Robert

episode 10 was just chills and upset stomach I didn't feel normal the whole watch through; from the moment ushijima called to shirabu, the spiritual pressure + the teams pushing him off...the aura??? hinata's last play + the spin + music- there was too much going on 😂 i was lightheaded and in just as much disbelief as the third-years. on a side note i always laugh when i see NPC#7 in the ceremony, bc bro spent a total of 0mins and 0secs on the court THIS WHOLE TOURNAMENT. like even ennoshita#6 and narita #8 where there, sheesh also even though kageyama reached the highest i feel it's fair to say hinata can still jump higher, bc he has shorter arms/needs to reach higher

jessiefungirl

ABOUT NATIONALS!!! There are 2 tourneys a year! you know this already! what y'all are confused about is how shiratorizowa doesn't get a pass for this tourney. simple answer: it resets. they won the last tourney(locally), and then went to fall nationals. spring comes around and they must play again to go to SPRING nationals, only they skip prequalifiers. shiratorizowa has been to nationals 5 times(three years) since ushijima has been on the team, and karasuno beautifully robbed them of their 6th

jessiefungirl

the development from not knowing how a volleyball anime could be 4 seasons long to wanting to buy clothing merch for one of the characters is crazzyyy! I'm glad u guys are enjoying the show and I'm looking forward to your s4 reactions!!

bhavna bhat

I think its fair to remind people, that a big part of S4 was made during covid, and because of that, there is a loss in quality, sadly. :/

Jaishel

ushiwaka should’ve been in bleach his spiritual pressure was off the charts throughout the whole game

kai

Ever heard of the word opinion?

Nash

Jack really is JR Smith with the score

I AM NOT A LIAR

Excited for the next season! I bet the Geks already started it and noticed there were changes in the drawing style. The new director wanted the drawings to be more faithful to the manga. Also, even with some "flaws" in the animation, S4 is pretty pretty solid. Haikyuu always delivers!

Juanca

glad i'm not the only one, can't help but chuckle when i see the crows

jessiefungirl

This whole season gives me so much anxiety & happiness 🥹💛 giving you a heads up that going into season 4 you will notice that the animation will be a little different & this is due to COVID & it was hard on the animators. Season 4 is just as amazing & fun! Looking forward to this!! This anime series/manga is in my top 5 💛

Jenny Case

Damn, i hate this toxicity with Tendo. It definitely doesn't make for a better reaction

Izaya

Carter: Daichi McKay: Tsukki Brig: Oikawa maybe Cannon: Iwaizumi maybe Jack: Suga maybe

Ashley K

22:55 Cracking up at Jack's "Skip" with japanese accent. 😂😂

questta

Cannon, McKay, Brig and Jack adding Tsukki to their lists 🥹 🤝🤝🤝🤝

Ashley K

The reason coach Ukai sounds different is because the VA died after the recorded last episode so naturally its a different VA for Ukai for the rest of the show

Izaya

I didn't know this one existed. I only saw the crunchyroll one. Thanks for sharing this!

Jenny D

Yeah, there were also changes in the drawing style. The new director wanted the drawings to be more faithful to the manga. But even with some "flaws" in the animation, the S4 is pretty pretty solid.

Juanca

Many rewatches and I can never forget coach Washijo’s face when the ball hits the ground in the final play. His expression is so complex and a combination of many emotions that Furudate did so well expressing. Pride, envy, frustration, regret, relief and satisfaction were some I could see. After seeing him make that expression, I knew I could never hate or dislike this man!! It kinda felt like he was just like Hinata but except gone wrong, due to his lack of determination in his growth as a volleyball player as well as circumstances and obstacles arising from his short stature (especially during his generation). The difference was that Hinata knows his path, and no matter how treacherous it is, no matter how much he knows that height and build are probably the most important in volleyball, he never stops and never gives up. He only gets greedier, hungrier and excited to see how much he can flourish and improve despite the setbacks. He envies and looks up to others, but never pitied himself, and so as described by others, he is a monster indeed. When Washijo was looking at Hinata, I’m sure he saw a part of himself which he could have been, and because of that he rejects Hinata’s existence because of what he himself had resulted to: giving up on his OWN volleyball dream to hone OTHER people according to his instilled belief that height and power were the only things that mattered in volleyball. That’s why I really love the addition of Washijo into Haikyuu, he’s such a deep and well written character!!

Clover

That's a fair comment! There were also changes in the drawing style. The new director wanted the drawings to be more faithful to the manga. I bet they already started S4 and noticed some changes in the art. In any case, even with some "flaws" in the animation, the S4 is pretty pretty solid. Haikyuu always delivers!!

Juanca

I think maybe Tendou just need people having more rewatches to like him or not hate him. Not to mention that it's actually hard for some people to focus their mind on the match (since the match causes huge stress for us 😆) and some backstories (those that really need to have people's mind focused without other exciting topics) at the same time.

questta

Can never get over Noya's double save 🥹 and yes, Tsukki really is the MVP! Ugh, when i saw the 3rd yrs cry, I was a fountain 😭 I can imagine how they felt; that their decision to continue playing volleyball with the team was worth it. Despite the quality, S4 is one of my faves and has one of the most important arcs of Hinata 🥲

melo edits

“NOOOO NOT THE JAPANESE SYMBOLS” had me in tears 😭😭

Nash

You cant deny that rotating animation shot with all the characters was an amazing peak moment

DontFailArtSchoolEren

exactly. I always call the boys like Kageyama and Hinata my Volleyball idiots 😅 Their "heads are filled with nothing but volleyball"

WHERE’RE THE BIRDS

Clover

All you need to know at this point is that this tournament that Karasuno just won and the one that Shiratorizawa won before are qualifiers for 2 different National tournaments, so this is not a second chance or anything like that.

Ale

You have to go to the official site for the good jerseys and hoodies. They even have Jordans in team colors. The Nekoma ones are crazy awesome https://haikyuu.store/shop/haikyuu-nekoma-shoes-jordan-sneakers/

your over the top comments actually made me laugh so thank you…ig???

GEEEEEEEEKSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeease!! Extra Shiratorizawa scene (2 min+) and the Ovas!!!! Don't forget to watch it before entering season 4!!! 1. Link for Shiratorizawa scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Utjg2EmYqE8 2. 2 OVAs: "Land v.s. Air" and "The path of the ball".

I just know Carter and canon are gonna cringe so much😭

beannieswife

is this the same one commenting the same thing in the previous haikyu videos? 🤦🏻‍♀️

melo edits

Great reactions! Season 3 has good moments, but I agree it does feel more like an ARC than a Season. Season 4 though, is definitely 24 episodes. My favorite moments this season were Tsuki's save, hinata's save, Noya's double save, and the images of them pushing back against Ushiwaka and the upperclassmen lifting him. My top three are 1) Hinata 2) Tsuki 3) Kageyama Daichi, Tanaka, and Suga would follow after them. And of course Bokuto, and, Iwaizumi. As far as character representation: Jack - Suga or Yamaguchi Cannon - Hinata or Tanaka Carter - Daichi McKay - Tsukki Brig - Oikawa Can't wait for season 4 reactions!

Jenny D

?????????

Poragami

Yes, exactly. I usually don’t go for the super stoic characters —I’m way more into the ones with a little extra spice. That’s why imo Tendo was so necessary on Shiratorizawa’s team! He brought that chaotic energy they desperately needed, like, someone’s gotta keep things interesting, right?

vally

On time for lunch! lol! Dang it, I can't help but think "THE BIRDS!!!" on the last attack 😭😂 God dang you, Lupa!!!

botanbutton

Relax

Nash

The peaks in Haikyuu is better than anything you have seen, better than AoT, JJK, Demon Slayer, Arcane, LoTR, Star Wars, One Piece, Naruto...when the volleyball finally smashes into the ground its history!

DontFailArtSchoolEren

Nishinoya's double save is actually INSANE

bondbond53

I will be honest, the first time I watched Haikyuu I was also slightly underwhelmed with Ushiwaka even if I definitely thought he was very cool. It was difficult to have such a seemingly stoic character follow up after Oikawa who is my favourite Haikyuu character and is such an emotional character. But upon finishing the story I came to really appreciate Ushiwaka. He's such a simple but insanely cool guy. The type that you hear as being part of the Hall of Fame

bondbond53

As satisfying as S3 is, S4 is a level up. Greatest of all time training arc!!! Let's go!!!! Also - there's no way to say which player each of the geks is most like. We don't know you all well enough to say, so it would be on a completely superficial level. You guys need to do it for each other. See if 4 of you can come to an agreement on who the 5th is most like. (Though you may want to wait until you meet some of these players in S4)

Little Angry Kat

I have been thinking of that since they started S1 😅

Ale

Carter: Daichi, obvious Cannon: Tanaka, loud and competitive Mckay: Tsuki, pretends not to care but does Jack: I would say Hinata but they said he’s not competitive so i’m not sure. Also hinata is loud asf Brig: I’ll just give him Oikawa😭

bateman bookworm

naurrr i needa get mentally prepared for that

Clover

we really made it to the end of season 3 let's go!!! can't wait to start season 4 aka my favorite season :D

emmy

Easy player nba player comp for ushijima personality wise is kawhi (when he wasn't always injured), stonecold killer robot who is kind of odd to other players, shows emotion somewhat rarely compared to other players but is extremely efficient

kringlekrisp

Okay, I'll try to match the characters to yours: Jack: Yamaguchi – soft-spoken, very nice and reliable Canon: This one was the hardest to assign; honestly, I still haven't decided... I'm leaning toward Iwaizumi, although Iwa might be a bit too quiet for him... lol I was just now reading Young Coach Ukai and I agree!! Didn’t even think of him but yeah Canon is def Young Ukai Carter: Definitely Daichi—there's no one else that fits as perfectly McKay: Tsukki – he's quiet, but he can really throw out some one-liners at others' expense that crack me up Brig: At first, I thought of Oikawa right away, but he also has a bit of Kuroo in him (and, low-key, a bit of the fox too iyky). Interestingly, these are some of my favorite characters… is that a sign? - focused, competitive, throws out funny comments, but can also be serious and occasionally drops real wisdom

vally

Matching haikyuu characters with geks (can’t wait for new characters hehe): Brig: Oikawa/Young Coach Ukai (Quick to pick up certain strategies and character details, understands characters well. Calm and collected, yet invested) Mckay: Ushiwaka/Tsukki (Doesn’t talk much but when he does, he’s a menace and on point. When he gets invested and becomes vocal, everyone else becomes more hype too) Carter: Daichi/Kuroo (Passionate and empathetic king 💅🏼 Likes teasing the other geks at times XD just like Kuroo. Perceptive and confident with his read on characters/plot) Cannon: Tanaka/Yachi/Tsukki (In a state of wreck, shouting NOOOO NOOO just like yachi. Critical and has a sharp tongue like tsukki. Very expressive and honest with his emotions just like tanaka) Jack: Hinata/Lev/Tsutomu (Single brain cell squad XD. But yea, focused/attentive to details when he needs to be. Facial expressions on point, visibly confused at times and ofc the hype squad 🔥)

Clover

By the way, they didn't win two in a row. There are two tournaments every year, and Shiratorizawa has been winning since Ushijima's first year, so they actually won five in a row.

Süm

Brig was right Shiratorizawa already went to the fall nationals we just didn't see it. Now we're off to the spring nationals.

M2GZ

spoiler: I’m just waiting for them to get the second hand embarrassment when they watched the first episode next season😭 (can’t wait for next week’s ova)

snowy

idk ab the rest of ya'll but mckay is literally a mix of tendou and bokuto🙏 lmao, all jokes aside these are my picks for characters that resemble the geks: jack: he has a good balance between daichi and hinata, he's literally 50/50 imo canon: a weird mix of kuroo and tanaka (??) i have hella hindsight of future events so i can't elaborate but yeah😭 just trust me lol carter: i feel like he has traits of all the karasuno 3rd years, he's very perceptive like suga, a bit of a softy like asahi but also passionate when it's needed, like daichi mckay: a mix of kageyama and ushijima, self explanatory imo brig: he is literally oikawa, period

beannieswife

In terms of hype S3 wins. But when it comes to character writings and dialogues, it’s definitely S4. The hype is still there tho.

Nash

episode 15 is the only botched episode imo since it was the only outsourced episode and it was fixed in the bluray version hopefully geks watch that instead of the one in crunchyroll

greyxwaren

Basically, there are 2 major tournaments in Japanese Highschool Volleyball: Interhigh and Spring. They each have their OWN national tournaments for teams who win in their region/prefecture. Karasuno lost in the Interhigh prefecture, while Shiratorizawa won, so Shiratorizawa went to the Interhigh nationals to represent the Miyagi region. We don't know how they did, but the Interhigh nationals is over! Now, in the Spring prefecture tournament, Karasuno won, while Shiratorizawa lost, so only Karasuno gets to go to the Spring nationals tournament and represent Miyagi! I don't know how else to explain it, so I hope this makes sense!

bhavna bhat

their favourite characters at the moment (Season 3): Cannon and Mckay’s favs are not ranked/in no order brig(oikawa is top for him)- 1. Kageyama 2. Daichi 3. Tsuki cannon(not ranked) - 1. Hinata 2. Kageyama 3. Oikawa 4. Tsuki Carter- 1. Daichi 2. Hinata 3. Kageyama Jack- 1. Hinata 2. Daichi 3. Tsuki McKay(no order)- 1. Tsuki 2. Kageyama 3. Hinata

snowy

Yes!! Super volleyball idiots perfectly fits them bc their world just revolves around volleyball and they’re stupidly obsessed with it

Clover

Ushijima telling Hinata and Kageyama that he’ll beat them next time is so cool. Because Ushijima is literally done with high school volleyball and from his conversation with Tendo, we know that he’s gonna go pro. It’s such a huge compliment to say that to Hinata and Kageyama because he believes that they both will go pro too. Also I find it hilarious how y'all are struggling to rank the characters. It’s gonna be even more difficult after watching season 4 lmaoooooo

Nash

Tanaka is going to be in everyone's top 5 after season 4

Erek Jahn

They are going to love season 4

Erek Jahn

"Super Volleyball idiot" doesnt really mean that he's dumb. It means something like: "he's so passionate that all he has in his head is Volleyball" Because of how serious he is we forget that in the end he's crazy about Volleyball just like Kageyama or Hinata.

Lixien

Actually, i feel like that will be fine with them? I remember when they watch OPM 1 and 2 then there are difference bet the animation, but they like the plot more on OPM 2 because it has more depth and backstory with the characters compare to OPM 1? On my case, I didn't actually notice the changes until someone pointed it out T_T. I just enjoyed the plot :>>

I understand why mainly cannon and mckay would not like tendo at all. I initially didn’t really like him too, but after looking at his backstory, rather than feeling bad for him, I actually felt relieved and happy for him. I’m happy for him because he managed to find volleyball as his safe space to channel his negative energy healthily rather than something more suspicious/dangerous. Being bullied and being called a monster would definitely have a toll on his mental health, he might be a little weird but he’s such a sweetheart off court tbh 🥹❤️

I really like season 4, but it is true that there are some wonky drawings in some episodes. Btw, I know some comments already said this but you should watch the 2 OVAs before the start of season 4. Also, just to clarify, Tokyo sends more than one representative bc it's larger and the host of the national tournament (so, unlike Miyagi prefecture who only sends one team aka Karasuno, Tokyo will send more than one, i think three teams)

Lets take it easy~

Season 4 is so peak guys 😫😫😫 genuinely can’t wait to see your reactions.

One of my fav small moments is when Tsukki looks over his shoulder and tells Hinata "Ike!". I feel like it adds to the subtle development of him fitting into the team. That, and when he gets back in the game and tells Kageyama not to hold back. They both settle right into their usual relationship but you can sense that they both feel more confident when blocking together.

ginabella

This is one of my favorite episodes of all time. Tsuki is an intelligent player so he's one of my favorites now <3

Bingsu

I’ve watched this show a million times and I’ve never noticed that wow

Nash

lame

peachy af

Notice how McKay smiles when someone is in pain? Tendo is the same HMMMM👀

Nash

@jack that hand sign from ushijima was basically a “sorry for injuring you” and tsuki slightly nods as a “its ok”

Fatipapi

Geks please do let us know if you have already watched/planning to watch! But please remember to watch: 1. The ending cut for Shiratorizawa after S3 (can be found on youtube) 2. The 2 OVAs: Land vs Air and Path of the Ball (shows whats happening in tokyo with fukurodani and nekoma while karasuno was playing shiratorizawa)

Clover

When the Shiratorizawa Coach says, "Once the awards ceremony is over, get on the bus," it's actually a reference back a couple episodes where Tendo mentioned that if the coach isn't satisfied with the game, he'll make everyone run back to campus instead of the taking the bus as punishment. Cool little detail that even though they lost, the coach thought this team still played as well as they could have

Patriicia

S4 is coming!!! <3

Bingsu

that 360 degree rotating animation on hinata's spike always get me so hyped

bebe

The VA for Coach Ukai died of a brain hemorrhage midway into the season (like ep 8ish) his "Volley ball is a sport where your always looking up" line was actually the last one he recorded before passing

Vincent S Deluca

Its not budget. Its schedule and change of some core staffs in the team.

Nico

LUL

ginabella

Hopefully its not too late, but Geks, please watch the OVAs!

ginabella

our inside joke now is that geks will never get this XD

Clover

mckay is tsuki

Jacob Goldsmith

mckay kinda reminds me of Tendo ngl

KrispyKenny

Geks! The summer & spring tournaments are 2 DIFFERENT tourneys 😅 Qualifiers (Miyagi prefecture only) Summer champs - Shiratorizawa Spring champs - Karasuno

Prescy

^ Mob right after Haikyuu is honestly perfect

kkcat

In my opinion it would be Brig- Kageyama Carter- Daichi McKay- Tsuki Jack- Yamaguchi Cannon- Hinata 😂

Janeyvonne I

this was definitely noya and tsukki’s match!! im so happy for our third years too ahh their hug and cries got me tearing up 🥹

Clover

Haikyuu's animation has always been *peak* because of their series director! But after this season he really needed a break and hence won't be director for season 4. In addition they also lost their animation lead. It's gonna look different but I love season 4 so I hope you guys stick with it ❤️.

kkcat

i don't think it's as bad as everyone says it is...

jessiefungirl

Tsukki absolute MVP!!! Also, i'm not sure anyone told you guys yet but there is an animation change in season 4 onwards because i think the studio wanted it make it more like the manga style. Similar to jjk s2 in case you guys were wondering why it looks different (or simpler) to previous seasons. Thanks for the reactions 😊

Daniella

I dont know if you guys have started s4 yet but id like to say: there were animation budget cuts that happen throughout the season, its mostly clear HOWEVER trust the Haikyuu process. The story is strong and the messages are so fantastic. Trust

NovaRogue

I don't own alot of anime disc but Haikyuu Season 3 sits proudly on my shelf it's so good. The music played during the final point is called "The battle of concepts" and it's just perfect

kkcat

You guys should watch the land vs air ova next! It covers the tokyo qualifiers

Kaze sama

That moment at the end just makes me tear up every time

Brandon Bryant

YEAAAA LETS GOOOOOOO 🏐🏐

Fatipapi

the va for coach ukai actually passed away before these last two episodes which is why there is a different va

kiki

^

jessiefungirl

Episode 9 is when the voice actor for young Coach Ukai changed because the previous one passed away due to health complications. His final recorded line before passing away was, "Don't you dare look down, Volleyball is a sport where you're always looking up!"

ThePugProtector

Guys don’t forget to watch the two OVAs BEFORE starting season 4. 1- land vs air. 2- the path of the ball

Nash

IT's TIMEEEE!!!!

Bingsu

kai

Santos Luna Ramirez

Honestly one of the greatest scenes in anime (for me) is that last point. Ushijima pushing Hinata and Tsuki down but the trio pushing him back up, the music, the last point, the crows. Peak cinema.
