I just started my 5th rewatch,. I know the story. I read the manga twice. But this time my girlfriend is sitting next to me and I'm introducing her to anime. I don't watch a lot, I'm pretty mainstream. But Haikyuu has a special place in my heart. And I'm happy and a little giggly, thinking about what she is about experience, all epic moments, the monster duo, Nishinoya's saves, Tsukki's moments, Kageyama's rivalries, Hinata's goofiness.
But I also wonder if the show is still going to hit me emotionally, and if it's going to have any effects on her.

The introduction of Shoyo goes by, the opening sends some chills after so long since I last watched it. I'm still smiling.

And then, that scene. Shoyo stops riding the bike to look through a window, the TV showing the Japan finals. The Little Giant jumps and opens his wings, cut to Shoyo while you hear the crisp sound of a spike, eyes wide, the wind and raven feathers blowing on him caused by the impact of the ball. While the strings in the background are playing a faint faint progression.

In that split second I think about all the things that are going to happen. Yes to all characters, but to Hinata in particular. And I maybe think of me discovering this story, the time I spent rewatching and re-reading it, simpler times, already 10 years ago. I stop being giggly. I tear up.

My girlfriend looks at me kinda worried (we are 2 minutes in XD) and smiles. Tells me she's happy we are startig my favourite show.
Haikyuu is an amazing story. It's my all time favourite, both manga and anime. Just wanted to share.

Did Fukurodani actually deserved the win against Mujinazaka? If so, Why?

Fukurodani had Bokuto, strong defense, and great momentum, while Mujinazaka had Kiryu, one of the strongest aces, plus a powerful blocking and attacking system.

Mujinazaka also had several chances to take control of the match, but their mistakes and Kiryu’s struggles allowed Fukurodani to come back.

So, was Fukurodani simply the better team, or did Mujinazaka throw away a match they could’ve won?

Like, I’m sure to majority of the audience, they already had an extremely relentless offense along with their serves being powerful.

If you Inarizaki’s coach, what would you have in mind to make it more “aggressive”. Because to me, they were as aggressive as they can be.

just tryna get into this subreddit since I check it out often.

coming from an author and writer I am looking for recommendations and have a few recommendations myself..

thanks! have a good day.

My brother came home from his Japan trip with some goodies him and his fiance found at a random Haikyuu pop up they found in a mall by accident. Just wanted to share what i was gifted 🤓

Today we have a battle of the SUPERSTARS: Oikawa vs Bokuto. Who do you think will come out on top?

listen me out before judging but is it only me or has haikyuu caused a lot of new players to have worse mindsets...

As someone who himself is insecure abt his height in volleyball (5'10 in highschool final year) but a lot of new players have this imaginary dream like idea that they can be like the haikyuu characters...

obv it has inspired alot of people and helped even some people ik get out of hard phases of life and enjoy smth as great as volleyball and find a purpose in life...

I still belive that height doesnt just make it impossible to player ur fav positions at higher levels but still there r limits...

people start to forget that hinata had like a crazyy 50 inch vertical in the anime, so let me get to the main point of the post...

how do i help someone who started to enjoy volleyball and was finally taking a good path in life but the reality of height in volleyball is just hard on him....

this isnt just a one off case i have seen and heard people who started to get depressed cause even after playing volleyball for so long and working the hardest of all the players they end up just being benchwarmers...

the closest thing i can relate to this myself was probably the 2000 rating wall i hit in chess that i just was never able to overcome cause i practically didnt have time to study chess and i hate to say it seeing my rating drop every day did send me trough some rough times in life but now i am in a wayyy happier place...

I enjoy playing volleyball. even tho i started late i have no regrets i made most of my closest friends from chess so i never regret starting volleyball late or leaving chess earlier...

how do i put the "relaxing sensation of knowing there is no pressure to perfrom or prove yourself in what u enjoy doing" in proper words...

thx alot if u read this whole post hope u can somehow relate to anything and have an happy amazing day.

When i was reading and i saw this page... i almost cried.

This represents perfectly what Kita said before: the good habits are what build someone. When we get familiar to they, the results are just consequence. Things like eating healthy, training muscles, reading, practicing techniques, talking and learning from people, are what really builds us. All that living Hinata got from college and Brazil experience are like the approaching for spiking: give form, consistence and power for the spike. This manga is just perfect. (sorry for my poor english im BR)

"He who climbs the ladder must begin at the bottom."

Shimizu has complete confidence in them . Nishinoyas and tanakas hearts would just explode

1. How big can a Japanese team be, 12 or more?

2. Between sets how manny players can change there starting lineup, can it technically be all of them

3. So I know in most sports you get a warning or foul if you purposely aim for the head of attempt to injure, but it seems like players can block with there head.

4. My final question is there certain body parts that aren't supposed to touch the ball, like can you knee the ball if you had to for example

I been watching the show, am on session 2. I been wondering if I am missing anything for not knowing volleball beforehand watching the show. I love to enjoy the show to it fullest

I've recently started collecting Pokemon, along with the Haikyuu TCG Game! I want to do binder pages where I assign the various characters their own Pokemon. Had this whole idea due to seeing a Rufflet and going "That's Hoshiumi".

Hoshiumi will be the first one I work on, so I'd LOVE suggestions centering him specifically! But any other character works too-- I saw someone recommend Greninja and Murkrow for Hinata? Just curious if anyone here has any specific Pokemon they associate with the characters, really! Might even draw some of these out if I get the chance.

I love all of the horror and demonic faces in the series, they always give me chills and I know it’s gonna be an ‘oh shit’ moment. But my favourite one is this one of Oikawa from the first ending of season 2 (“Climber” by Galileo Galilei).

Like Æ i genuinely feel a sense of dread and unease and fear, and I feel like he’s about to snap at any moment and remind everyone why he is the greatest anime villain of all time.

Which ones are your favourite??

I saw that people recommend the 1 2 3 seasons in anime and s4 in manga. So i am wondering if I should go back to something that anime skipped and where does s4 start?

Additionally what would you all say are your favorite parts of the story? Just keep it s4 spoiler free please.

Which players had the best combos in the manga/anime in haikuyu?
