This episode is Garnt's 2022 Anime recap video featuring the boys.

Yes this

When they were talking about sports shows without superpowers I immediately thought of this and Haikyuu. For me Haikyuu is still Hype AF, but as an adult I much prefer the University setting and adult characters from run with the wind

So much this. Was about to comment the same thing. I watched it for the first time about a year ago. Playing competitive sports growing up the show nailed the team aspect of toxic and encouraging behavior. Was very surprised i never heard of the show before.

Yesss, my favorite anime, it really ispired me to run and just improve my life

I wouldn't say it was grounded. in that show they took a bunch of amateurs, including a book worn and a heavy smoker and got them into a world class long distance competition with less of a year of training. i still enjoyed it over all though

I don't read it, but I love checking that subreddit whenever a new chapter comes out.

tbh garnt in general seems like a giant redditor

and Anime Twitter win this time. Every point that Connor gives about blue lock are the exact reasons why I hate blue lock. It's so bad. 3/10

@@afroowl9933 same, I dropped it at ep 4, just as Connor did. It's a lame attempt at survival shounen with no actual stakes. I could care less about them not making the national team, not all of them could've made it anyway due to the limited number of players allowed. The thing with the ego just made me cringe, especially because football is a team game anyway and they have to work together with the other players to win a match. It's why I don't call it a sports anime (neither did its author), it's a cringe battle/survival shounen.

@@rafsanarintika8987 Gigguk said he watched through S3 though. I can’t imagine finding season 4 a downgrade from season 3 and liked it. I think it was arguably the best season and the first one to not feel rushed.

I actually think Horikoshi's art is great for the horror vibes especially by the Villain arc

My gripes is that all that potential gets lost in favor of playing favoritism to bad characters like bakuguo and it's not a hot take to say that since even he apologized for how he wrote him. Until he dies or until deku finally beats him I'm not coming back. My only investment is the my hero comissions I've been paid for and I draw them begrudgingly to an old movie clip that vents my frustration with this franchise

He’s just not good at writing plot or committing to characters. He’ll write a serious arc where a side character gets to finally shine and then he follows it up with boring class arc with terrible comedy and that side character is forgotten forever

@@Pearlem no kidding. The last time I followed an arc it was when deku todoroki and spastic Explosives were shadowing endeavor then this villain on a ball was being built up like he was going to be anything and I cynically thought in the back of my head that this guy is just a jobber in the next chapter and that's exactly what happened.

@@Pearlem That hasn't been true for years Iida might be the only side character he forgot about and there hasn't been a real school arc in over like a hundred chapters

@@aokyoutsuki7744 I stopped taking any opinion they have seriously. is helped byhow they even admit they made the opinions based on personal bias (and garnt is the only one who at least tries to say, be up to day with my hero academia, if only to hate it properly) I just "leave acomment to remind my self I watched the episode" and move on with my life. because they seem to like all the things i hate. especially their comments about anime being "too unrealistic" (what, they want anime to be basically that rick and morty joke of "realistic videogames"?) and seemingly want more "dark and edge" in their stories.

the horimiya take didnt even seem to be aimed at the anime tbf, they were talking about the manga specifically... the horimiya anime is incredibly fast-paced with the romance developing between the two leads (maybe too fast?)

Hopefully he enjoys it. The next arc of Kaguya after the confessiins had me really worried initially that they were gonna pad out the story with an unnecessary twist, but eventually turned into my favorite arc of the entire Manga. The entirety of Kaguya where they actually are in a relationship, is just the best.

does kaguya actually get good because tbh I was so bored when I tried to watch it I stopped and just went and did my math homework cause it was more entertaining

@@spookyyy3 Where did you stop? The first half of the first season was definitely up to personal taste if you liked it or not. It only got to the parts I liked near the end of season 1. But season 2 and 3 was where the quality really sky rocketed and it became a romance classic. If you're expecting the typical ecchi or shonen it might not be for you. But if you like an actually interesting rom com then Kaguya is a great show in comparison to other romcoms. Just don't expect it to be what you want it to be because this show likes to challenge tropes.

@@humourlessjester3584 I second this first half of season 1 is pretty slow specially the anime. Season 2 really ramps it up. I really hope people will still watch season 4 of Kaguya cause the best of Love is War really is all the arcs after they ended up together

@@spookyyy3 can i knew where and when you drop it ? cause season 1 is too comedy based and if you aren't that invest with japanese jokes and memes, yes, it kinda meh.

Honestly I am glad Mob didnt get the movie treatment it had ample time to tie all the loose ends beautifully

Yeah I swear they just zoned out for that entire arc because despite them calling it a filler that whole arc is pretty vital for both Deku's character development and in part showing how society can screw over people and make them become villains.

@@mikemorro140 Like, I'll agree with them that MHA feels long because I stopped watching it myself after season 4 (though I still check out manga spoilers) and honestly, their opinions on most stuff from seasons 1-4 feel braindead. Like with Gentle for example, he and La Brava basically saved each other, I don't know how much more clear it could be. And Connor can hate on Bakugo all he wants because Bakugo is a bad person, but he's in no way a bad character. It's just that his development is too subtle to notice when one is not paying attention.

@@mikemorro140 That was actually my favorite battle in the manga... Doesn't mean that arc wasn't complete shit, I can see why most people think it was filler or did not pay attention.

@@SailorSetsuna7 Former MHA reader here (dropped long ago), I agree that the writing in MHA is pretty good, but most of the criticisms they made about the show were valid imho. How the world feels too safe and bright even when bad things happen, the pacing, how most things MHA does right competing shows do better, etc. I hate to say this since I actually really appreciate Horikoshi as a mangaka, but MHA is just turned out to be a really mediocre anime. It's understandable that it fell off.

I mean you don't really go to Connor for nuanced intelligent takes. And I don't say that as an insult, this isn't a series that was ever going to appeal to him. So bad takes are expected. I was more surprised by Garnt saying things that were dark on paper weren't in motion. Without spoiling, I don't see many other shows, anime or otherwise, willing to show a particular breed of violence. Even doing it off screen is often too much for many viewers and MHA had the balls to do it without looking away. The only way that shit doesn't land is because you don't want it to. MHA is far from flawless but boy howdy do people give it an overly hard time. While simultaneously propping up alternatives that are equally flawed, if not worse. Bleach is a quick read because it's mostly vapid content, there isn't much to take in so you can blast right through it. Fun. But not remotely similar outside of genre. You know a series that has no danger to it? One piece. Is it still a great series? Absolutely. I don't mind people not liking MHA, but don't fuckin lie about why. It's ok to not know.

You're going through the natural life cycle of a weeb. At some point in the next couple of years you'll get bored of manga as well and then feel frustrated at having nothing to watch or read while having a "planned" list hundreds of entries long.

I watched/read it before getting into a relationship and basically twice since. Once near the beginning of our relationship and now a year and a half in. It's so..rewarding. I really wish there was more than 10 volumes. I feel like there's a lot more they coiod explore with it. It doesn't help that we are so spot on that couple. The only difference is that I'm more laid back and open about being a weeb, and he keeps it more under wraps. Like on the weeb side of it it's cathartic in how relatable it is. In the relationship side it's just a reminder to be more considerate of each other and communicate more. Again I think more people would remember it and be more attached if there was some more relationship progression and if it was longer.

If a show can't keep a viewer after 4 episodes, doubling down on the sunk cost fallacy won't work.

thank you

It just made me feel down a bit that after finishing the manga, it stuck with hinata as it's original goal and the team stopped being the driving force. I think that's something that made it strong in writing and unique overall but as someone who's watched a lot of sports anime, I felt a bit disconnected. 😔

@@xitogun101 (manga spoilers) That was kinda the point though. Like Kageyama said at the end of the final hs match when they talked about the future highschool years: "I wanted to win with THIS team". To us and Karasuno is the players that exist in Hinata and Kageyama's first years. They were the most formative years of their highschool career, and ending that part after the first year keeps that true for us. But the series was always going to build up to Kageyama vs Hinata.

Come on now. In like episode 3 one of the characters gets a spike and has a slow motion speech about how deep it is that his spike has transcended the wall of hands that appear to block him. There are characters that call themselves shit like “the king”. Haikyu is full of anime bullshit

@@SepehrKiller i agree and am also a massive fan but season 3 couldve been a movie if they wanted it to be and i still think they should try to make it into a movie but ig maybe the art style wouldnt blend well into modern day anime movies where everything has to be like super duper pretty idk , still would like to see it in movie form , either way modern classic for sure

I loved that opening playing there. In the first season it was Mob's theme, but playing it here for Reigen actually made it clear that it was actually everyone's song all along.

IMO, the reason season 3 isn't coming out anytime soon is probably because it's primarily a promotion of the source material. And it kinda makes sense that pace is optimal for the purpose both keeping interest of hardcore fans and interesting new audience for years to come. Imagine if they hastily released like 4 or more seasons, but there is no more original source to adapt. It leaves awkward silence for like 3 years until the whole series is finished. There is no reason for most anime-only watchers to read light novel, since they already experienced most of the story, and most will not be bothered to read remaining books, i.e. it is hard to transition from watching animated series to reading it. If you think about this way, it all comes together (at least, in my head).

That's what they do in every Shonen though. Start out saying the protagonist is a big loser but then surprise! They're actually super OP. It's not a subversion, it's how the trope plays out every time.
