Hoshiumi is really the « WHAT IF »of Shiratorizawa’s Coach

Obviously he is a very different personality to Hinata, but it’s kind of like a window into a timeline where Hinata’s middle school had a proper boys volleyball team. He has both the skills and the confidence in them, and much like Hinata wanted from the beginning, he’s the Ace on the left. I don’t think Hinata would have been a middle blocker had he been able to play prior to high school. He was put there for the quick.

His OST ("Seaguls") is also one of the best of the anime, it's so aerial. It gives you the feeling of flying, and the urge to go and jump !!

S4 is packed with amazing mini moments that are essentially trailers for S5, and Hoshiomi's intro is one of them (or I guess it would be for s6) Hoshiomi being annoyed at Kageyama at the training camp because he showed no surprise at Hoshiomi being there showed us how he wanted everyone to be in awe of him because everyone initially underestimates him for his height and he takes pleasure in shocking everyone with his abilities. For Kageyama, Hoshiomi was hope itself, we see him telling Hinata he can fly higher once they get back from their camps. This also tells us that Hoshiomi will probably get along really well with Kageyama and Hinata since they don't underestimate him one bit, but take inspiration from him, the same way his teammates do, and I absolutely love it! Hoshiomi and Hinata both looked up to The Little Giant growing up but they became very different people, and that fact made sure that they both feel excited and competitive towards each other. And I know I'll probably cry when watching the match (we all know what happens :') ) but I fr can't wait for it. The bow that they share at the end? Amazing.

"Hinata Shoyo! I'll be waiting for you!" "You know he's probably not coming back for this match, right?" "I didn't mean here." Edit: I love Hoshiumi because if Hinata had seen him instead of the Little Giant, we all know he would also idolize him (Hoshiumi being literally just an inch smaller than the real Little Giant). He's basically everything Hinata wants to be, or wished for, as he's already improved a lot in the future. Now I remembered that Ushijima probably played against him, and other short players as he said in the match against Karasuno.

I swear to god I started having goosebumps as soon as he did the first recieve and by the time the camera was panning from left to right and the commentators said "the one man army" I can't express how hype that moment was, it was only second to Hinata's perfect recieve for me.

Once again, I agree with every word. That sequence where the announcers call Hoshiumi a little giant gives me absolute chills every time I watch it. It's brilliant.

YEEEESSSS!! Having read the Manga, I LOVE HIS CHARACTER, especially how he was introduced! Thanks for doing this!

Haruichi Furudate: Lets give Hoshiumi an awesome theme for his entrance! Harsh reviews: That´s not good enough! We go beyond epic!!!

Ye I love how haikyuu introduced so many awesome antagonists like that e.g. Haiba Lev and Ushijima etc. Introducing someone like that from an opposite team and actually showing it from karasuno's perspective really makes us feel like we are in the karasuno team and a bit of fear is born in our hearts. Another reason to love haikyuu

yay i didn’t even know of how much I wanted this character

I was so hyped when the commentator called him a little giant

Another factor is that the commentators called hoshiumi little giant so that is also a fact that brings hype

Hoshiumi quickly becomes my favourite character. his addition to the story just elevates hinata and the little giant narrative. the manga did him so much justice, his chapter (not yet animated) is one of the best one in the series, i love him so much

Hoshiumi remembers me a lot about a Brazilian player called Giba, in a Brazilian team standard he was short (192) but he was such a central piece in probably the best iteration of the national team.

dude you need to keep making this vids like im binge watching all of them with my friends

One of our little giant? He is the little giant and no one else.

Your thoughts are very relatable, the music and commentary made this scene very special! I don't know if there's too much to talk about there, but if there is I'd like to see your thoughts on Kaido's introduction, it's also so amazing.

that smile hinata gave while saying "i'm glad i came here" just wraps up hoshiumi's introduction perfectly.

NGL, when I read the manga before S4, I was pretty intimidated by the Miya twins, but Hoshiumi was on another level, that I thought, "no way is Karasuno winning this match against Kamomedai". He is the "Little Giant" that Hinata is desperately trying to achieve, he's got hops, power, skill, and defense, a scary pint-sized all-arounder x cannon for Kamomedai. It's just unfortunate what happened during his face-off with Hinata at the end.

I still hear the "CHIIIIIISAAAANNAAAAAA KYOOOJIIINNNNNN" and the seaguls ost whenever i see hoshiumi

And the song its called seaguls, kamomedai mascot, "Did you know seaguls fly during blizzards?" ahahhahhahha I LOVE KAMOMEDAI AND HOSHIUMI, and this is why i disagree when people complain too much about the 4th season animation, it wasnt just bad, it was inconsistent, some of the worst animated moments in the whole series and some of the bast, hoshiume scenes were just bangers! using a lot of different techinches, even rotoscope to show the fluidity and phisicality of character, season 4th kicked so much ass

Hoshiumi is an insight to what a powerhouse Hinata could be! Also, ur videos are among the best at analysis and give a new pov to look at, all of which is an adrenaline boost... If u could make more Haikyuu manga analysis content, that would be dope, Harsh!

everytime I go back on old videos I get hyped everytime I play one of your haikyuu videos before games and always gets me in the zone

Another Haikyuu video!!! I started rewatching it yesterday and finding videos about it is always a nice surprise

YESSSS!!!!! Couldn't have been happier when I saw you posted a video about Korai!! Wonderful video as usual!

These haikyuu videos are so good!!! Keep them coming pls 😁

This part of season 4 was one of the best without a shadow of a doubt The video is great as always 💕

Man I don't know what it is but your creation style gives me goosebumps constantly. Amazing work. Thank you so much for your content.

Great video man! Hoshiumi by far has the best intro (to playing) in the series! Sick montage of him playing by the way 😂

Amazing video. Character intros are super interesting and so is Haikyuu so this video was a good idea.

as someone who wants to make his own series's, your videos give me a great insight to as to what i had missed while enjoying watching the show. you've incredibly emphasized the importance of character introductions to me with this video my guy. really appreciate you for this one

Bro, keep up the amazing work! I just found your channel and I love your content. So glad someone else enjoys these little details in Haikyuu just like I do.

9:20, notice how hinata eye's waver which adds to the depth of him being in awe. omai.

this man is amazing at what he does. i already loved haikyuu and he's POV just made me obsessed with it🤞😭🔥

Wow. I've just found your channel and watched every vids about Haikyuu. You did a wonderful job and I can't wait to see more. I love Haikyuu very much and now, thanks to you, I understand it better and want to watch whole 4 seasons again.

Dude u are awesome, like you elaborate on all of ur ideas and you are able to convince us with everything you say, like u are so underrated! 😤

Always a great day when you upload!

i swear i love rewatching hoshiumi intro during nationals, it's face paced, loud, and exciting. i know a lot of haikyuu stans don't actually watch volleyball outside of haikyuu, but man i love watching real volleyball matches. it's really easy and fairly fast how points get scored. it's a fast paced sport, quite literally a blink and you'll miss it. and i'm telling you, i really underestimated the effect commentators have because it made the scene come to life, just like it would in a real match. usually i don't even notice or rather i ignore the commentary bc i'm too focused on the match irl, but having it in an anime where it's deliberately put there and you have to focus on it, the chills man.

Great analysis, I really love your video! ❤

Hoshiumi just saved entire season 4 animation teams

You're videos are very good and well thought through. It's a niche area that might be hard to find views but keep going because you will build the audience you deserve

Good video, keep up the great and very insightful work

you never disappoint bro keep it going

Wow i love your editing, the part from 4:15 to 4:35 could really be a Marvel trailer, and your analysis is god tier.

Look, i play volleyball at high school level, and imkinda short to an OH on an OPPO, but i play as a hitter, and wheneveri feel tired, sad or frustrated with it, i listen to Hoshiumi's speech to the reporterand it just hype me so much, that i feel really energized and ready to face any "wall" in front of me and see whats on the other side.

Yeeeessss more haikyuu vids!!

Bro lowkey has some of the best thumbnails on this planet🔥🔥

Awesome Video as always!

Hey man... Just want to say... I love your takes on Haikyuu characters. I haven't seen them all. But 1st Tanka, Now Hoshumi. Ngl, they are some of my absolute favorites other thank Oikawa and Kuro. Appreciate your take on characters that aren't mainstream.

Wow. Generally i am bored with others voiceover but yours is special. Keep up the good work. And keep growing brother ❤️

You said it all man... Thanks 💯😊❤️

Amazing video! 🔥👍

good video, nice informations.

Yeah that was the moment Hoshiumi became my favorite charecter, and i havent even watch him play a full game still. Amazing inroduction ( great vidio btw. I would love you to make a vidio about Karasuno vs Kamomedai match, since this is your favorite match.) and i hape they dont mess this match up in the movie.

Bhout aachi video

Can we just appreciate how he puts the anime to match his words?

i just found your channel and am really enjoying your content lol keep up the good work

Your speech is very inspirational

Fcking nice edits and analysis maannn.. CHEERS

Your videos are so good keep it up!

Another banger from Harsh Reviews

i rewatch his intro all the time

@harsh reviews: i am so glad that i stumbled across your videos. I love how you perceive things and beautifully articulate it. Apart from learning abt grit from haikyuu, i want to learn to communicate as beautifully as you. Keep making videos. Thanks

The worst thing about your videos is that theres a limit of them, i want like 100000 videos to watch. I rly enjoy your videos, love how you usually show the back of the character until you say the title and the show the face of the character. You truly have something special (also sry if there are some mistakes here, i don't use english a lot)

You can do the introduction of Madara next

Haikyuu has to be the best serie I've ever read because it gives everything the fans wanted and I mean EVERYTHiNG... TxK 😘

Your thumbnails are sick, btw. Keep up the good work with these videos

good stuff! interesting definition on an introduction, i think what we see at the national training is enough to say he was introduced to the audience and kageyama, but that sequence was definetly his introduction to hinata, and in a way maybe a second/more detailed intro for us. as you said, an amazing sequence. i generally love what i remember of his character (havent re-read the rest of nationals since it came out, i always jump to the beach), the idea of him knowing that hinata will make it to his level and him waiting for that rematch later... oooo its good if i remember correctly, didnt ushijma have a good introduction like this aswell? this was a step above that of course, which haikyuu usually is (every season is better than the last imo), but still, might have been something to add?

is a sakusa one coming? love this series

This is really good I’ve been binging your vids since yesterday Can you do one on iwaizume hajime (iwa chan, oikawa’s bestie) pleeease I think his character and personality and friendship and relationship with teammates is really impressive And relating this to his future career choice is on my mind alot when i see him

Can we see a analysis of shinsuke captain of inarizaki high Also great content as usual

Really like your videos!!! You need to do videos on ace of diamond or Hajime no Ippo.

wow congrats on 5k you are growin hella fast

Hoshiumi’s introduction was so powerful!

He is gonna be much matured and calmer than you think, nice too.

I hope you eventually get to talking about Oikawa. Love these videos, some of the best content on youtube about haikyuu

If you ever want a great example of how good commentary can elevate a game, go watch the Davis run at the end of the 2013 Auburn vs Alabama football game, it won’t disappoint

my favourite character

I watched the episode where he was introduced like 6 times to make me hyped af

I watch a lot of Analysis-style videos on Haikyuu because I think there's a lot of great themes/characters to explore, and this is the 2nd video of yours that im watching. You have a really unique editing style that I've pretty much never seen before, it's almost AMV-esque at some points. I'm sure these videos are not easy to make so congrats to you on all your success with this channel. Atsumu and Sakusa are part of my 3 favourite characters, with Bokuto being the other but I've already watched your video on him :P, so I suppose if I can I'll suggest a video on either Atsumu or Sakusa. Either way, love your videos and definitely subbing!

I would have loved to see season 4 have the same animation style as season 3. Being able to see Hoshiumi's introduction with the previous animation style would have been incredible!

YESSSSS

He's so underrated i love him

Please continue with haikyuu taking stuff, idk, I listen to them while doing my kinda rehab/ work out and it helps pass the time🙂

That's what I am saying the Character introductions in Haikyuu and the way they linked them especially is amazing!! The way they brought in Tsukka, Nishinoya and all others, they were just dope

Yass I love him

Make a video on Hoshiumi Kourai and his back story too •~•

NOYA NEXT I CAN FEEEEEEL IT

when i saw Hoshiumi Korai, i became more in love with volley and started training like crazy to beat tall people. He made me believe that you can be anoying, in Volleyball, even being small. Now, everytime i play with my friends, they wanna block me. 😒😄

I'm so hyped to see sakusa

I have and will wait for Karasuno vs Kamomedai Seeing two aggressive small middle blockers going at each other with their all Im waiting Haikyu!

could you please make your next video about Yamaguchi tadashi? i really love your videos and ofc this character :))

I think you should've talked about the music and how beatiful it was in this scene

The art of naming every cool thing art

early let's go! :D

THATS MY GOAT HOSHIUMIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I need a Nishinoya vid

bingus i seem to be early

A video on Tsuki!!
