Nah the first time I saw episode 2 I was cry laughing. These guys are dumb as hell

I keep refreshing the page lol

I’m Tired

Sometimes (usually) they just post it late so lets hope not 🙏🏽

peachy af

Please don't tell me we'll be playing another long waiting game...

Hey guys! I hope everyone is well! Does anyone know if they will post it today? Does anyone know if they said anything on live yesterday?

Ana Carolina Diniz Guedes

Haikyuu today 😤😤😤

falconnn

the name of the nationals is Interhigh and Spring tournament so the tourneys to get there are the inter high qualifiers and the spring tournament qualifiers.

M2GZ

I was a bit confused when I first watched this show too but, the tournament from season 1 was called the Inter-High and has an Inter-High Nationals. This tournament upcoming in season 2 is called the Spring Tournament and has its own separate nationals.

KazumaSpitfire

Excited for Haikyu today!

you mean seirin without kuroko : 💩

Ahh I'm so happy that you guys have started season 2! "From the concrete" is such an iconic line from Hinata. It's one of the fandom's favourite quotes HAHAHA! Ushijima Wakatoshi is one of my favourite characters haha! His nickname is "UshiWaka" (a combination of his last name "Ushi" and his first name "Waka"). They call him this because UshiWaka happens to be the childhood name of a famous Japanese warrior in history, who was known to have extreme jumping ability(or smth along those lines). Since both the historical warrior and Ushijima are such beasts, they gave the nickname UshiWaka to him to refer to his monstrous ability in the volleyball scene! We'll see more of him in the future that's for sure! Oh, and, fun fact! Shiratorizawa's mascot or animal representative is a white eagle! It comes from the "Shiratori" in their school's name, which can be read as "white bird"! "She's the worst character in the show" BOYYY when I tell you my jaw dropped JVWHHJBE Shimizu hasn't really gotten much screen time so far and we don't see her contributing very much as of this moment, but I promise that everyone in Haikyuu gets a chance to shine, most of all Karasuno members. She's their manager, and she helps with behind the scenes stuff like recording the progress of their matches, handling administrative work with Takeda sensei, and also offers a lot of moral support to the team as a whole (as seen from season 1 episode 12/13 when she cleaned their cool banner and gave them encouragement). She's really an overlooked character, but she's really kind and wise, and is a nice contrast to the craziness of the team haha! "That's assuming this tournament takes the entire season 2" HAHAHAHAHA the way I cackled. Loving the predictions as always. This season starts a little slow as well, since we're getting introduced to new characters, but it's not nearly as slow as season 1 so don't worry! Momentum is gonna pick up and you'll be wanting to binge the whole season in no time!

Moon

Thank you! I agree with Carter, it's nice to have some slice of life before the volleyball tournament takes up every screen time

jrnoodles

Who’s the troupes again ?

Ron Jackson Jr

So excited for season 2! The tropes can be a lot in the beginning, especially with Yachi’s introduction, but she definitely felt more fleshed out later on and now I love her. Carter talking about the slice of life made me so happy, he got his wish lol

Nishinoya and Tanaka are the biggest simps in anime history.

Sasha

Zenitsu is wayyy worse

Sasha

Shimizu is not really even shy though

Sasha

dont give too much hype about these. let it be a surprise.

bebe

So his name is Wakatoshi Ushijima and his nickname is Ushiwaka, a combination of parts of his full name. Ushiwaka is the name a of legendary Japanese warrior. I’ve seen it compared to an American myth like Paul Bunyan. It’s said he could jump across ravines or something along those lines. He had a sidekick known as Benkei. There’s an old anime movie about the duo that was released in 1939.

Riley

the foot logo is a play on Asics lol its just the foot and then ics after it

Dakota

my favorite team <3

bebe is right

NEW SEASON LESGOOOOOOO

Matis

fukurodani mention🙏 can’t wait for yall to meet my favorite characters

beannieswife

Jsyk, In sports anime theres typically 2different tournaments/ national chances per school year. theres either the spring/summer tournament that will take u to the spring or summer naionals, and the fall/winter tournament that will take you to the fall or winter nationals. so on average for the three years they are in High school in a sports anime, a regular player would participate in about 5 tournaments, 6 if they do what the third years in this show are doing

Valor14

there's also the option of only having to play only one of those teams, depending on how the bracket lands.

jessiefungirl

the moment was funny so he chuckled

jessiefungirl

Damn not all the female characters catching strays

Amna 🍉

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the mangaka wrote horror before Haikyu, and I really think the style shines through here and there.

Julia

About how the upcoming tournament works. They are training for the spring preliminary tournament. They have to beat seijoh AND shirotorizawa to move on to the national stage of the spring tournament. And yes the third years will be allowed to play in nationals if they make it (that's part of the deal for them choosing to stay on). They have laid it all out pretty well for how the tournaments work, I just think there's so much information to absorb that you guys have missed a few important explanations ( Which is perfectly fine don't worry it will all make sense :) ).

Alex

*Therapy*: Expensive *Hinata yelling JAPAN*: Free

bondbond53

this show is filled with tiny details like that. The show's attention to detail is one of the things I love most about it :)

Alex

Jack saying "what the heck was that?" about Takeda sensei's lil twitchy thing when he was leaving the gym XD. Homie was just trying to put his slides back on. they flew off when he tripped haha XD

Alex

Your pfp ❤️

Ale

I think Haikyuu does the tropes well conceptually but sometimes they feel a little too frequent imo But it's ok since the actual matches strike a perfect balance with it

Josh

Kageyama is in class 3. Just below class 4 & 5, the advanced classes. Hinata class 1. That boy is clearly academically dumb lol What we've learned about Kageyama is that he has a very strong personality and stubborn. I think he's being voluntarily dumber academically lol cause he's mentally obstinate in not caring about anything that's not to do with volleyball, especially English, the subject he's failed miserably. He said it himself in this ep here, "Japanese don't speak English" I could see him adding to that, "Why bother". He knows he's a genius in volleyball and he believes absolutely that he'll be a global level player one day. Just like, in a past episode, his reply challenging Hinata at the bottom of the stairs of the club building when Hinata said he's going to beat Kageyama in the future, Kageyama asked " .. even at the Olympics?" something like that. English subject is just something he mentally does not want to learn so he's having a harder time to score higher marks in hat subject lol His verbal linguistic intelligence maybe a bit below par too.

Hem-ehem

bokuto

Joydan Bri’an

Shiratorizawa Academy is fictional but their school is based on a real school, Tohoku International School. Tohoku International School mascot is a white eagle. Once again, a gentle reminder, please don't look for Haikyu's real life locations yet as there may be spoilers. However you can look for just Tohoku International School if you want to see the similarities between the school and Shiratorizawa.

Hem-ehem

Haikyuu is actually one of the few anime’s that does tropes right… like I actually laugh out loud! Anyways, I love this season, not my all time favorite but I think it’s top 2 in my book! I can’t wait!!

lola

Just tropes in general when they act all goofy and over the top…

lola

after you watch all episodes of haikyuu, i will be asking this question: who is your favorite character? 😂

corLeonis

I was annoyed by her too at the beginning. Not that bad on second watch

Sandi

i cant wait for the tokyo excursion haha

corLeonis

Man I remember thinking Yachi was way too much at first, but she is honestly such a great character. Anxiety and overthinking personified.

Albin Limani

Dude lupa had me in tears with the “nooo not the Japanese symbols” iykyk 😭😭😭😭

Nash

The Haikyuu girls are amazing!

bondbond53

Season 2 is propably my favourite season so I'm super excited!

9Aki

Yeah, I didn't mean dumb in general. I meant academically dumb. Kageyama is pretty smart when it comes to volleyball

Süm

Who’s this character you’re referring to??

PinoyAkoPH

Soundtrack this season is so good 😩

Mia Malvik

When walking out of their club room, Tsukki did say to Yamaguchi that Kageyama's brain is probably just on volleyball. The author is implying he may have some good brain and not that much of a doofus actually. That's my take from what Tsukki had said.

Hem-ehem

I love how they are surprised Kageyama is not smart. Furudate (The Author) likes to remind everyone Kageyama is as dumb as Hinata, he just doesn't look like it lol.

Süm

Does anyone know what the trope that they‘re talking about means? The sneezing or the female characters?

questta

Something to watch once i get home after work!!

corLeonis

Thanks for the explanation - the geks need to read one of these comments so they're not confused every ep

yio

Ushiwaka - JAPAN!! (Buddha Ace guy). His school’s name is Shiratorizawa and the first two Kanji (characters) is white and bird that’s why there is a flying bird scene after the HINATA SHOYO FROM THE CONCRETE scene bec Karasuno’s kanji is Black Crows and Shiratorizawa is white bird. Crows vs White bird 🐦 🙈 my Japanese sucks and my ancestors are totally disappointed but I’m pretty sure that’s the connection 😅👉👈 I just felt like sharing ~

Mariacake

@a f, roshi’s haikyu reactions are genuinely hilarious but they’re not as emotional as someone like carlie and ange’s hq reactions so it depends what you like. roshi’s are definitely hype too tho like esp roshi himself, i feel like he really liked it

You need to watch theirs immediately!!! They were so hype. I watched theirs like 3 years ago I think but a rewatch would be so much fun

A_Daddy Daichi

Are roshi's reactions to haikyuu good? I loved them for ATLA and TLoK (mostly) so i wonder if they'd appreciate a show like hq too

peachy af

Do you guys know Slam Dunk and Hajime no Ippo? Those two are my favorite sports anime. Wonder if you're gonna react to it after Haikyuu.

kobehoneylyn

Yes i was

hollow soul

27:00 the thing about that foot brand "Dics": foot in Japanese = 'ashi' + the 'ics' underneath. The result is Asics, the Japanese sportswear company

jessiefungirl

@hollow souls. Lol weren’t you the one yapping under one of my GoT comments how hate/criticism of a show or character feels for you like a “personal attack”. Stick to your own words when it comes to shows you don’t like.

I'm so hyped I can't

There are so many great lines in Haikyu, "Hinata Shoyo from the concrete" is one of them. And these eps about them and exams are hilarious imo.

Hem-ehem

ushijima introduction oh yeah!!! ive been waiting that scene is so GOATED ... him saying only oikawa is the best for him and everyone else sucks? hinata getting angry and thinking "oh yeah well we're gonna be the ones to beat you".. the jump.... ushijima's smile ohhh this is cinema

sil

Just loveeee jack in these haikyuu reactions

Abi Ali

JAPAN!

The "I'm Hinata Shoyo from the concrete" line is legendary

Ale

I completely forgot Yachi is here! 😂🤦‍♂️ she’s so sweet!

Taylor Blackwell

I mean the tropes were mostly funny but I can see how some of them can be overstimulating esp if it’s back to back. I wouldn’t expect them to love these eps

A_Daddy Daichi

i’ve probably seen ep 1 like 20 times idek why but that episode just scratches my brain so right, the animation, the set up, the interactions, the shit talk like ughhh it’s just so good. also, i have a feeling ushi is gonna be brig’s goat 🤭

alexis ♡︎

I burst out laughing when I first saw that 😂

A_Daddy Daichi

i love that roshi starts playing lil yachty everytime she’s on the screen in their reactions 😂

Alright then but overall he did look like he wasn't into ep 2 that much lol

Hem-ehem

cant wait to come home from work and watch this with snackies ❤️😅

Patriicia

Nah he had a little smile on his face and chuckled a little here and there.

Sandi

This show is sooo goofy rn. Love to see y’all enjoying it. It’s going to get intense. You will be part of haikyuu nation at the end, I pinky promise🫶🏽 Random question: do you guys have a job and do this on the side? Just genuinely curious.

Sandi

Seen people explain already so I'll try to keep it brief. There are mainly 2 tournaments shown/referenced in the show so far. The InterHigh tournament (takes place in the summer) and the Spring tournament (takes place in late winter/early Spring). Both of these are National level tournaments and are referred to as 'nationals' interchangeably at different points in the show. They are separate events so they are qualified for independently of each other. The tournament we watch in season 1 is the prefectural qualifier for the InterHigh tournament. In Miyagi (Karasuno's prefecture) only ONE representative qualifies for either national tournament. At this point, Shiratorizawa, having won the InterHigh prefectural qualifier by beating Aoba Johsai *again*, will have already competed in the InterHigh nationals at some point between the seasons and are now preparing for the Spring tournament preliminaries just like Karasuno TLDR: Interhigh and Spring tournaments are both national tournaments and have separate qualifiers so winning/losing one has no bearing on whether or not you qualify for the other.

afrodude

Looking at McKay's expression watching ep 2, looks like he's ranking this ep, a "1" 🤣 just like those early eps of Season 1 hahah

Hem-ehem

Tbh, I did find Hitoka, the new girl a tad too much/annoying in this first ep that introduced her. Just a bit.. I started to like her at ep 3, the ep right after this lol She's 149+cm/4' 11. A pretty small girl to manage a volleyball team full of tall guys lol

Hem-ehem

Im in love with the new outro song

Zechree

Since Shiratorizawa won the preliminaries in Miyagi, they represented Miyagi at the Inter High (nationals). Its really just two national tournaments formatted mostly the same just at different times of the year with qualifiers in each prefecture

An

Also, again with the cultural context lol The show doesn't explain things that Japanese people already know, like what a manager does or what kind of tournaments there are. A manager is an aid to everyone in the team, it can go to just passing balls, getting water and towels, to looking for new members and be in charge of getting things organized with the teachers and school management. Schools with big teams usually have 2 managers. The tournaments that are mentioned already are 2. First is the Inter high, this is a national tournament. The boys participate in the prelims and lost against Seijoh. The school that went to that nationals was Shiratorizawa. The other tournament is the Spring tournament, the one they are training for right now. They will be playing the qualifiers first and whoever wins the regional qualifiers will go to nationals. This will be in Tokyo, that's why they mentioned it. There are 2 nationals tournaments every year in Haikyuu. Ushiwaka being in the U19 team is independent of the national tournaments. National tournament are for schools, the u19 is for the national team to compete against other countries. I really hope this help 😅

Ale

Great reactions! Yachi is hilarious! These two episodes were nice. It's gives a nice break before training. There is also an OVA that shows more of the studying. You may want to check the order in when it should be watched. I'm thinking between epsiode three and 4 or after 4. I'm excited for the next reactions!

Jenny D

😂😂 this show is actually good im serious

Studio Geck

Basically: the tournament they lost last season was the Interhigh preliminaries in Miyagi which happens in every prefecture and the winner(s) goes to Inter High nationals. Right now they're preparing for the Spring Tournament preliminaries in Miyagi which works the same way, winner of the prefecture goes to Spring Nationals, some prefectures are bigger and more than one school is chosen for nationals in those regions. I think i saw someone say spring tournament is usually more competitive bc thats when teams are more established? But I'm not completely sure

An

I’m sayinggg! It’s such a good laugh

A_Daddy Daichi

If you guys want a lil bit more of this studying mini arc, there is an OVA that goes more in deep on what happen between ep3 and ep4. It will not affect the plot at all, but it's a good slice of life episode, it even has some family relationships and more personal relationships with the boys as "friends" and not just team mates. It's called "VS failed exams" and it's best to watch it after episode 3, it's hilarious lol

Ale

I dont get how this can be confusing lol

Marlon

Verito

I have GoT, Dark & Haikyu tonight because I couldn’t catch up yesterday 😝

A_Daddy Daichi

Lil’ Yachi is here 🫶🏾

A_Daddy Daichi

OK so ill try to make this as simple as possible. They are currently studying in order to go to Tokyo for a training camp with Nekoma and others, in order to get strong enough to go to nationals. In order to make it to nationals though they will have to defeat both Oikawa and Ushiwaka in the spring tournament qualifier in 2 months. Spring Tournament = Nationals

M2GZ

sorry what is ebk?

peachy af

i loooove yachi so much she really grew on me as the show progressed

peachy af

Also, I'm fairly sure someone explained this in the comments before, but if you recall the part where other teams were reading "Karasuno" as "Torino".. well, you can see above exactly why that happened. The Kanji for Crow (Karasu) and Kanji for Bird (Tori) are very similar. And it also serves to show that the people who misread it have no idea who the hell Karasuno even is, because they just aren't a powerhouse school anymore.

Calen

haikyuu time!!!

emmy

The Studying Arc is crazy LMAO

dotsae 🇧🇷

Nice that we get a little step-back from the tournament time, theres some good character moments in these eps :)

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

lmao i haven’t watched but i know they are going to get annoyed with yachi💀💀 dw i feel the same, im sure you will regret hating on kiyoko so much 😭

bateman bookworm

this show is genuinely peak comedy btw

farkzzy

ready for them to see my boy though

Joydan Bri’an

Lol exactly what Carter asked for we get in the beginning of this season 😁

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

Each tournament has nationals. The spring tournament and Inter high are both national level comps. There's just qualifying rounds in each prefecture. Don't forget Japan is a lot smaller than the US, so scale wise this would be closer to a State level championship where there are 2 tournaments per year. smaller prefectures get 1 representative while bigger ones get more based off of their size. Hosting prefecture also gets an extra spot (in this case Tokyo).

Secretly

Season 2 is so hype Edit: I literally love every character so hearing the Kiyoko slander is mind boggling. Also i love how Carter is enjoying these more laid back eps, it's so nice to just watch the character be unserious. Yachi!!!!!!

VIcK

This season is going to be CRAAAAAZY. I'm still in denial that one thing ACTUALLY happened😭 iykyk

Amna 🍉

I’m practicing some restraint here because I need to sleep lol but at least I have something to look forward to after work tomorrow!! Can’t wait to start season 2 with you all!

PinoyAkoPH

Yachi is adorable and yeah Kiyoko (the manager) doesn’t really say much but I feel like this season and onwards gives her little highlights into her personality.

Joydan Bri’an

2/3 of the big three is here the goat of goats (and yes im his #1 glazer idgaf)

kai

Just a reminder cause not sure you guys saw the comments, but Oikawa is a third year. Just making sure you have that locked in lol

Secretly

Every school year there’s 2 nationals. Shiratorizawa have already been, and lost, so they’re competing again in the second tournament to head back to nationals. Whoever wins this tournament goes to the next nationals. Ushijima is on the national team because when he gets out of high school he’s going to be on the Japanese Olympic team. That’s different from nationals and it’s just stating his potential to be a professional athlete once he graduates. Don’t worry too much about the national team, that’s just future Olympian stuff.

idk

you need to tocuh some grass

bebe

this tournament is the last term for the 3rd years before they leave so, if they win this next tournament they get to go to nationals.
