NOW THAT YOU'VE MENTIONED IT

I did not watch 3 seasons of reactions to have Coach skim past Tendo saying Farewell! Haha

Yeah because no other team would let him play the way he does.

I initially didn't understand this comment by Tendo when I first watched this episode. And wouldn't go on to understand it's full meaning until later on in the Manga. If you know what I mean. Now....I do and it has such a deeper meaning for me about Haikyuu.

I love Tendo so much and I cry everytime I see that scene

Nice observation punpun

Up!

I hope Coach Donny sees this, even I didn't remember that quote at all so it's a really cool observation

@@MAlatinboy yeah, the manga actually makes it more obvious, where they insert a panel of Tendo remembering what he said right before the coach speaks, but I guess they kept it a bit more subtle for pacing in the anime

YES INDEED.

The voice acting probably also made it seem realistic because they lost their fellow VA and that was Coach Ukai’s old VA...

Yes, and it's never seen as embarrassing or negative in any way. Altho I guess it's not surprising, coz irl Interhigh/Spring Tourney media coverage seem to show both girls' and boys' teams crying fairly often, and both in the same light.

I mean, if you follow sports, seeing men crying isn't something that odd to be honest.

Omg that's a good point! I've never considered that, the tables have turned! Now the older brother gets to brag about the little brother, that's awesome!

... and now I'm in tears again

Akiteru and Kei's relationship is such a heartwarming thing to watch unfold. *THAT* scene when the match against ---- happens, everyone will cry!

ive gone through 3 different jobs over the course of coach watching these episodes, funny how time flies

Dudes, the FIRST reaction video NOW HAS 1 MILLION VIEWS!!

And i hope we’ll see more because i cant believe its been that long

I don't know if they find it disappointing, I don't think that's the right way of putting it. I feel many are extremely happy with what actually happens throughout the season, rather they were disappointed with the visuals

@@chelseamae3012 imean if you look at haikyuu standards with the consistency and what happens to the change in their staff. The quality is a downfall. I think it's somehow disappointing. Sorry if my word came out aggressive.

@@chelseamae3012 i think it goes both ways :/ the first half of the fourth season has the lowest scored ratings on forums and sites; and it has mixed reviews with people saying its boring or tedious. Personally i loved all of the fourth season!! we get some amazing character development from hinata, and we are introduced to more amazing teams

@@P1zzaGuy no, not at all, it doesn't sound aggressive. And it definitely dropped in quality, with the pandemic and all of that, but I thought the story standards still seemed pretty high

@@mely1022 It does get a little long and dragged out, but I still enjoyed it, and I feel it was necessary to build up all the tension we needed for the Inarizaki match, especially with Hinata's development

Notice this coach

I was gonna say, Japan is in the same hemisphere as us and generally has the same seasons. I figured for whatever reason it was just an early tournament

Yanagida Masahiro! 💪🏻🏐 Oh and I heard he's also getting married! Saw his twitter and IG post a few weeks ago!

I love this insight.

no.it means he will beat him if he fight them next time.why would ushijima think about that far ahead .they are still in high school.if anything college is the next one to think about.but ushijima is not the type to think about that.he is way simplier and just wants to win his next fight

@@chrisgaming8846 lol what. Just because he's a simple character doesn't mean that he is an idiot. He is 100% not going to university why would he when he has volleyball as a career available (getting into a good Japanese university is notoriously stressful which is why tge 3rd years were encouraged to quit in the 2nd half of their year so that they could focus on studying). So at the very least he is saying they will be good enough to play a professional level volleyball player so he could beat them with satisfaction.

@@chrisgaming8846 ushijima isn’t / didn’t go to college. He got signed to a pro team right away. So he intentionally meant that they would go pro if he said he would beat them next time because he would never play another high school game, didn’t go to college, and is going pro. In order for him to beat them, they would have to be in pro league

@@baba_tdog1071 yeah I agree. He may be simple and straight forward, but he chooses his words very carefully.

really? i thought that’s the animation/art style was the best 😭 of all the seasons

Hey I totally agree with u. Altho it isn't as detailed as the first 3 seasons, from season 4 onwards the artstyle is very similar to the manga panel art and this is actually more close to usual way manga are adapted to anime. I also rlly like the new animation in s4 becoz I feel its more thematically appropriate. Glad to know someone else out there who thinks the same.

I love Season 4s tense art style in games

@@kidslash4655 Hell no season 3 shits on s4 animation but s4 has some good animation moments

-SPOILER TAG --------------- ---------------------- Yeah!! i totally agree, i think the 4th season animation isnt bad, its inconsistent, i think some of the best animation bits in haikyuu history is in the 4th, and the worst too, like i bet hoshiumi taking flight for the first time will take tears from coach eyes ahhahahaha

Up

THIS!!

up

UP

Up! This is honestly the most well said and objective take there is to s4. Even the suggestion to watch the OVA’s (for both the expansion of the story and understanding of how good the new animation *can* be.)

If only season 4 didn't have a bad rep because of a couple of inconsistencies.

man I absolutely loved season 4, the 2nd half is maybe my favourite Haikyuu season

Season 4 is amazing. I don't care what people say.

It's such a cool scene TT_TT

and Fukurodani

He wanted to watch other teams play for so long, he has to watch them now!

goddamnit, 3 mins and it still made me cry

It's a beatiful scene

up

up up up!!

Up!!

it helps that Tendou isn't intimidated by Wakatoshi's talent at all and is able to talk to him with no filter like any other person he(Tendou) also wouldn't be put off by Wakatoshi's blunt way of talking which other might see as being overly prideful

Such a beautiful way to put it :) my favorite thing to notice was that there were six crows in the murder of crows--Kageyama being very much a part of the team and the flock at this point though he may be able to fly higher than them for now

God, just how poetic!!

tl;dr this is why i get mudery when people don't agree that Hinata is the best player in all of Haikyuu, period. Hinata went from ep 1 to who he is rn in only 6 months. Kageyama had been training since he was 7. 6 months to 9 years. *I'm an avid Iranian-American VB fan and have seen FIVB irl, Iran vs Poland and Iran vs Russia, and Russia vs US in 2019 in Chicago. it's nuts. absolutely nuts. seeing Iran's setter, Marouf's sets in real-time and irl is surreal. along with Brazil's Rezende, Marouf's top 5 setters in the world. uber long explanation: up to the 1st ep, he'd never been in a team, let alone official matches (not counting the one vs Kageyama). he'd never had any kind of training beyond the odd practices we the neighborhood, and what lil he did have was due to the mechanics of VB, via utilizing athletes from other sports. he has no idea how to play the 4D chess that's VB. he's never had a setter and he's never been analyzed and developed. from the minute he opens his eyes he's inherently at a disadvantage. his position and skill level dictate his being underestimated, regardless of his existing talents and his drive and labor. he has to work from a disadvantage, especially not being a libero and having bad receives. yet, he functions high enough that other people, with a variety of skills/specialty/experience compete against him specifically, knowingly or not. if he'd trained with even the fraction of resources and time that Kageyama or Oikawa had they'd never reach his level in highs chool. especially if you know what happens in the manga you'd get why he's the most skilled even tho he has v lil training rn. he's so unique and capable that he is utilized and earns his keep from the v beginning, no matter how chaotic he is. he's so invaluable that Ukai devotes the Nekoma practice match to essentially develop Hinata. he went from literally just being agile and athletic to being able to be a v effective MB, a spiker, a pseudo libero and 'The Best Decoy'. most of Haikyuu kids are not athletic necessarily. as coach has said before, while jogging is good it's not great for VB, which means that they don't run for endurance. Hinata bikes for endurance. that combined with his stamina and the fact that he had the making of a gymnast, his athletic prowess make him a consistent player, cz no matter what he does he only improves. Noya does crazy moves too but hs trains for those. Hinata consistently pull put moves that are hard to do without training for them with minimal bodily harm and with a reasonable amount of ctrl. he's been consistent enough that its used to show his growth and not just lucky opportunities. there's a reason that no one in 4 seasons has pulled moves like Hinata. yeah the liberos do wild rolls and dives, and the setters contort and bend, and the spikers reach and MB slide. but none of them parkours off the wall, or repeatedly receives balls to the face that count for points or save the rally. the sheer amount of running he does sets him apart from every single player that we've seen. he's so emotionally intelligent that he creates opportunities for his teammates to become better themselves without any benefit to him. without Kuroo and Bokuto Tsukishima wouldn't be able to do sh*t. if Hinata was sh*tty to Kenma Kuroo wouldn't be exhibiting good sportsmanship. if he didn't put up w Kageyama's crap, while actually making him grow (intentionally or not) Kageyama wouldn't be as accomplished as he is rn. just the trust that Hinata bas in him is a v powerful factor, let alone the fact that he's never intentionally let down anyone, especially Kags. he wants to compete against the best which makes his personal ethos better and stronger than anyone else on the show by magnitudes. like there is no one on Hinata's level in Haikyuu. Oikawa, Atsumu, Kageyama, and Ushijima want to compete and win. they believe they're the best and they want to prove it by defeating who they consider a worthy rival individually. you don't need to tell Hinata what Kags g'pa told him about there's always someone who's better than you. that's not bis mode of operation. he wants to be better and the only way he can be is using a metric, and in VB the metric is other players and winning matches. Hinata would play VB even if there wasn't any winning in it. even if it was useless he'd still play and he'd play it to the best of his ability because to him the person on the other side of the net is important. he respects being on the court and never wants to leave. and since everyone keeps wanting to kick him out or not let him, he becomes even more focused and understands that there's dignity to stand on the court. it'd be belittling to insult others by only respecting the merits instead of it as a whole. there's nothing casual about VB for him cz he's always at a disadvantage and every time he's confronted with VB categorically he has to prove himself before he gets to everyone else's level of respect.

omg ;(

rip

Zzzz

Do you mean Nekoma or Kamomedai?

@@hugogamboas.5550 nekoma

@@hugogamboas.5550 kamomedai will be after nekoma

Excited for it to get animated

@@yukimiyasol I know. My personal favorite is Kamomedai. I feel like it gathers all the great things from previous matches and really shows how essential Hinata and Tsukki are for the team.

This^^^ The third years truly pull at my heart strings

People keep saying this, but I love S4's artstyle. It sure is different, but the quality of the animation itself is just as great to me. S4 pt.2 is another story because of outsourced episodes

S4 was amazing! The characters feel even more dynamic and close to their manga counterparts. The animation was iffy in an episode or two (thanks to COVID) but the overall quality was still much better than most seasonal anime of that year.

@@pandyssianrat to me it felt off whenever they are jumping (unless the jump is in an intense moment and the animators go crazy), other than that it's all good, and it doesn't really matter coz ofy love for the show

@@mansfaye1084 Season 4 part 2 is still one of the best parts of the series, even if the animation quality is a bit lesser.

i would like to see his ideal line up but after season 4!! inarizaki is one of my favorite teams hahaha i would like to see some of the players in said lineup

@@mely1022 both, both is good. But yeah, will be cool to see his thoughts on some of the characters in season 4. And if he does do another lineup after season 4, almost certain that at least some of them will get on his lineup, but we'll have to wait and see.

I think Tsuuki also mentioned that strategy because he was aware that Nishinoya wasn’t going to be there to dig the ball up. Because this is the one rotation that Nishinoya doesn’t rotate in, it’s their strongest attacking rotation but wekeast receiving rotation and potentially strongest blocking rotation. I honestly think Tsuuki was waiting for this specific rotation when he had the play in mind.

S4 has a lot of hate, but I think it's mostly the memory of the S4-2 covid episodes (specially ep2). Part 1 looked really good, different but still full of impact and energy without betraying the sweet emotional moments like Shizuku's backstory

@@canalsincontenido yeah and I think it's also the fact that people hate change, like with many Anime whenever they switch things up there's a lot of uproar, for example when attack on titan switched to cgi titans. Half the time you couldn't even tell if it was cgi or not but people just hated it because it was different than what they did before.

@@liondude64 I'm tired of people "preparing" reactors by saying that the season 4 animation is terrible or "laughing in season 4" when a reactor compliments the anime's animation. I understand telling them that the animation style changed, and that the animation was outsourced in some of season 4 part 2. That's fine. But people just want to hate on something. I'm actually concerned now that we won't get a season 5 because people have shown zero love to season 4.

I was pretty mad at S4-2's eps2 and 3 because they are the worst animated but they still had all that emotional power that made me tear up. I felt a bit scammed. I wish we could replace them with the bluray fixed versions when they come out but most people will stick to the TV versions because those are the ones in crunchy.

You have a better chance of going pro in anything else other then games it’s genetics bums

agreed
