The View From The Summit - How Haikyuu Makes You Care
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 січ 2020
- Haikyuu is a show that is easily skipped. It's a sports anime about volleyball - a niche genre about a sport that pales in popularity compared to other ballgames. But Haikyuu trascends those limits, offering a show with such wide appeal that anyone can find something to love in it. It's one of the best anime I've ever seen - and as someone with little interest in sports or sports anime, I almost never saw it - so today let me take fifteen minutes of your time. That's all I need to convince you that Haikyuu might just be one of your favourites too.

"No such thing as a villian in Haikyuu, just another team we aren't following as closely" that line hit deep...literally changes my views on every team in Haikyuu, actual masterpiece of a video!
Exactly!!
Ikr if we watched Oikawa and the journey of Aoba Josai then it would still be an exciting but different adventure
You mean you had to watch this video to understand that? That’s literally one of the most prominent themes in Haikyuu, shown over and over again throughout the story.
@@SnailHatan yup. But then again some people just watch it as it is shown, going with the flow. What I mean is that they don't stop to understand the deeper aspects, lessons and understandings. And that's totally cool too.
I've been on both ends of the spectrum. First time, I binged and the second time K took my own sweet time.
But my oh my! Once you start getting deep into other teams, it's PURE BLISS! I have not even seen a volley ball in real life (volleyball isn't something people play here. It's more of Basketball), I cried, I bloody ducking cried on Atsumu's set in National Arc. That was unexpected for me ngl.
@@SnailHatanyea i was a bit confused because i feel like the show makes it repeatedly clear that all of the teams are essentially the same. they’re all kids wanting to play volleyball. it’s especially more evident with nationals imo. every team that got to nationals had to go through the same difficulties that karasuno did
"There's no such thing as a villain in Haikyuu" That's one of the things I love most about the show/manga. It never let's you forget that they are all high schoolers and none of them are evil, they are kids working hard to achieve their dreams.
The opposing teams are protagonists of their own stories.
Daichi is like 'Jack of all trades but ace of none', he is second to Noya when it comes to receives, he contributes to spiking when his team needs it. Plus he is a captain who can lead the troops and know how to keep calm during tense situations.
In the Shiratorizawa game, remember someone said if Daichi wasn't in their team, the team's defence would've been full of openings.
Yep Leon says that
Sushant Deo hes the ace in terms of leadership and maturity
I think the thing I love about Daichi's character, in general, is the pure fact that he is a caricature of what a captain should be in sport. Someone who the rest of the ream relies on and who leads by example.
@@joshbrown2217 There is nothing remotely like caricature about Daichi. Nothing about him is exaggerated out of proportion. He's just really good at being a team captain.
@@jeremiahglover7562 I mean you're right to a degree, but arguably because of that he is a caricature of what a captain should be.
Like someone who does their job well, can manage the level of strict to relaxed, while still being responsible and being able to motivate the team and guide people is literally the caricature of a good captain.
But that's a good thing, like that's what you sort of want for these sorts of things
Can this guy's godly editing get some attention?
RIGHT?? HOLY CRAP
Add the lovely soothing voice.. i can listen to this forever :))
@@Ge872 It's his voice plus a professional grade recording / sound solution.
Preach
Gradually will i guess :)
What I love the most about Haikyuu is how Furudate managed to develop nearly every "villains" (oikawa, ushiwaka, washijo-sensei, etc) into inseparable components of growth of our heroes rather than just another milestones.
Villains is not proper word I think
Rival is
@@jeetadhvaryu5680 antagonist fits better I'd say.
@@heyitsnobody yes
John Truby said something that stuck with me so much when I think about the shows I like:
There should always be some flaw that keeps the heroes from accomplishing something. The goal of writing is pitting them against that thing so they must overcome it in order to grow and develop as characters. That is why it's important for them to play against such unique and well developed characters. We like that they are so well fleshed out, that they have their own goals, that we not only feel victory but the devastating loss of knowing that we weren't enough in some way. That's how most of these hard working players end their careers: on a loss in a low level tournament. That humanizes them. Like Oikawa not wanting Kageyama to beat him because he was afraid he was much better and that he'd be replaced. Or Goshiki feeling as though he failed Ushijima, whom he idolizes.
No victory ever feels clean because on the other side of the net, someone's dreams have used been as a stepping stone.
The intermission animation caught me completely off guard! Genius!
Sports shounen seems to be a genre that consistently produces surprisingly captivating, innovative and at times, downright impressive stories.
I skipped Haikyuu for ages as I thought the hype was unjustified for what initially appeared to be a 'typical' sports shounen/ shippers dream. But holy hell, ended up binging it HARD and was shocked by how much depth even the minor characters had.
I was very skeptical at first as well. It was during one of their later matches, when my heart was racing with adrenaline, that I knew it had me hooked. I played sports in high school and I felt some of those old feelings again, which I never thought it would be able to do.
I'm a fan of the manga and was really happy that it got an anime adaptation and the anime absolutely blew my mind- it went above and beyond my expectations, so I tried to tell my friends to watch it as well and had this problem when I was trying to convince them to watch Haikyuu since they all thought "its just volleyball, how deep can it be??". They all made fun of me and said I'm prob just watching it for the cute boys and shipping them which was really annoying so I just gave up on them... flash forward to 2016 when S3 was at its peak and then suddenly all of them loves Haikyuu and I got the last laugh XD
Haikyuu! is the best sports anime ever because of the hype, the emotions, and the characters. Kuroko no Basket is great too, but it is not the same as Haikyuu! because it is about characters who are there to try to be the best. Haikyu! is a show where they try THEIR best and want to stay on the court the longest. It is not just about winning, but it is about having fun and giving it your all.
Same. We were so wrong 😅
IKR. For the LONGEST I’ve been saying, “it’s just a stupid volleyball anime.” Tried it out once and couldn’t stop. Biggest mistake of my life! Never judge a book by its cover!!
"Have to give a damn about why they are fighting" this simple statement is lost so many times not just in anime but in so many genre of entertainment. Top notch once again, great video.
This is the David Attenborough of anime
Totally agreed! 😂
Well said
Watching Hakyuu honestly makes me feel like almost nostalgic for a sport I've never played 😭😭😭
6:43 *GOLD! ABSOLUTE GOLD! I LOVE YOU MAN!*
One of the best parts of the video. His attention to detail is insane.
I love Haikyuu so much that even this video made me shed tears. It's THE BEST anime of ALL TIME.
Masterfrog nah
@Blake And 30 year old men. I don't really see the point in jumping on someone's elses personal opinion and be like "I DON'T AGREE WITH THIS". What did you think you were gonna get out of this? Some weeb cred because you disagreed with someone on their favorite anime?
I'd say it's one of the best. I don't think there's one and only the best anime of all times - but there's always the best anime that you need the most at the moment. Haikyuu never fails to help me face a hard time in my life - and that's priceless.
2 mins in, the OST plays and I'm already in tears
I know right
same
Omg that episode with the girl volleyball team gave me chills!! The parallel from Daichi’s middle school friend, to the Karasuno women volleyball (that I was also lowkey rooting for). It just puts even more weight when they beat their opposing team, I was so awed with how the episode was laid-out. Also, since we’ve seen all of our players lose and deal with that lost (Karasuno during the previous year, Hinata & Kageyama) especially with Hinata, I feel like it adds more depth to the team, and make them way more likable when they took their first opponents seriously despite having a huge gap in the scores. Damn it made my eyes water a bit
I got recommended this anime by a friend with the following statement "It's like Slam Dunk, but about volleyball and not like Slam Dunk". I laughed and laughed until I watched it and I understood what he meant, I was completely hooked. It's also reminds me of my favourite anime of all time, Hajime no Ippo, which is honest and as realistic as an anime can really be if it's about sports.
This, like HnI, made me care about the rivals, even to the point that some made legitimately root for the antagonist of the fight (in this case match), made me care about the secondary characters and specially the protagonist and his ultimate goal.
This video explains, with better words, exactly why I think Haikyuu, and by consequence Hajime no Ippo and Slam Dunk, should be on anyone's radar.
Watching that ad like that was incredibly satisfying.
Ikr
Exactly!!
This made me want to rewatch Haikyuu even though the 4th season is airing rn :")
I am so happy you made this video. All my friends are into this show and I have never seen the hype. Now I guess I have to give it a go with this Stellar recommendation.
Winnners and Losers had me crying my eyes out.
Came here from Trash taste. This was beautiful. Every reason why I love haikyuu was "documented" beautifully and the editing was godly
Talking about anime but with animal planet narration level.
came back to this video after three years, and it still encapsulates how I feel about this anime. It's really up there. I can't even count how many times I shed tears while watching some of the most gripping episodes until the latest season, and while reading the manga to finish-up the unanimated parts. It made me become interested, heck, even obsessed about volleyball - a sport I did not care much until recently, some 5-7 years ago.
Reading the current manga arc is just the culmination of all this. It's mind-blowingly good.
Every new chapter gets me absurdly excited, seeing how far Hinata has come now that he has reached the summit in this final, incredible arc.
your description for haikyuu was really beautiful... it made me emotional...
So, after I watched this video, I went ahead and watched all of haikyu.
This is one of my favorite animes of all time great recommendation so glad I am subscribed to this channel thank you keep it up!
Aaah this makes it all worth it :)
Wow!!
I know it has been a month already, but that how far are you in Haikyu!
@@victorcapote7376 I've been caught up since I posted this!
the wholesomeness in all seasons is no joke
I never thought about watching Haikyuu until I watched this video. Thank You So Much!!! Sports anime needs more love from the community.
Haikyuu is the sports anime for people who don't watch sports anime. I went in without any expectations and it made me laugh and cry, totally unthinkable when I started watching. I've been a fan ever since.
AddaeAkono It’s been a month already, but how far are you in Haikyu!
@@victorcapote7376 I haven't started on Haikyuu yet because I have a bunch of shows in rotation this season. My plan is to start on Ace Of The Diamond in the Spring and watch Haikyuu in the Summer. Right now I'm watching Ahiru No Sora and its a pretty good sports anime.
AddaeAkono Got it.
I never took much of an interest in haikyuu because I have no interest in sports animes but I knew it was popular. I finally got around to watching it recently and got so immersed in the story. This video PERFECTLY describes how I feel about it to the core.
3rd season ending song and clip are my favourite by far. That clip means so much to me
Tears in my eyes gah.
Also those little inserts were SO NICE! This was beautiful perfectly putting together my feelings for Haikyuu into words. Wonderful stuff Joe
Instantly subscribed after watching this. You were able to explain everything I love about the show and more. Made me want to rewatch it all over again.
Your channel is criminally underrated, but I get the feeling you’ll stand out real soon!
What a freaking vid. Took the words right out of my mouth about episode 16. Such a crazy flip of the perspective of the show and how we see the main characters from that point on. I really hope when the main story wraps up, we get a spin-off that is just about the girls team!
That would be so cool!!
Beyond Ghibli there's an old volleyball anime called Attacker You! that came out in the 80s. It was very popular in European countries, including France, where I come from, where it's called "Jeanne et Serge". It's a little more romance but the main character is a girl on her new team. I'd recommend it if you are able view it, plus it would be cool to see the differences between the two volleyball anime of about 30 years apart
Truly an inspiring anime, in all most every Volleyball tutorial there are people referencing Haikyuu, I’ve really seen no other anime inspire and influence people to want to engage in a sport like Haikyuu.
Just need to capture this line,
"Furudate proves, time-and-time again, their ability to introduce a character and get you to care about them within a few pages is unparalleled. And then, proceeds to emotionally punish us for doing so."
Yeah. For me, I ended up loving each and everyone of them. I had a desire to learn more about them. What were their stories? What kind of experiences they had? Even down to, what they were like in their daily lives? Because each one felt tangible. Human. They all felt like someone we know in our lives and you can't help but want to cheer them on!
I've been severely depressed and full of anxiety for a while now. Haikyuu gave me happiness when I thought I would never feel it again. Even then, the threat of feeling joy only for it to end severely spiked my anxiety. What with an uncertain future because of the virus, and regrets that I could've done more in highschool before it ended so early... The first two minutes and thirty seconds of this video help lift me from that mindset. I don't know why, but they do. I didn't focus on just one thing through school. I focused on many and did exceptional through them all. So I don't need to hold such regret and distort my memories because of fear. Thank you for this video honestly, it helps.
You put it perfectly into words. I love these boys with all my heart. That’s why we watch again and again. Each player is unique yet grounded.
the way this man say about Haikyuu is just beautiful
This video convinced me to watch Haikyuu -- and now I've gone and watched it 8x (each time shepherding another friend along the path, of course). Whenever I catch a quiet moment, I always come back to this video. Your soothing, unhurried narration, tasteful video editing, and great soundtrack selection make this such a treat to watch. Thanks so much for making this :) Please keep up the good work!
I skipped this one when it came out, never been a spots anime fan, but I'll definitely give it a shot.
You won't regret it!!! one of the BEST sports anime - heck one of the BEST anime that I always absolutely recommend
Its so good! I love it. My absolute favorite and good timing, the 4th season just started!
It’s been a month already. How far are you in Haikyu!
@@victorcapote7376 haven't started it yet lol I'm saving it for when we have a shitty anime season. Spring is looking like not a lot of cool stuff is coming out
Ryan C What do you mean by that? Is it when we have a bad season for Haikyu! ? If you are trying to say that, then you are wron.
Before I didn't really get why Haikyuu!! was so loved. At first I thought the anime was overly exaggerated by the hype but one day on Netflix I had nothing else to do and then I watched. I never wanted to slap myself harder. It was ultimately a great anime and I for one who was never into sports made me genuinely interested. This video bassicaly summarised all the good points that had me hooked on the series and am eagerly waiting for season four. With the manga wrapped up I'm itching to read it after the anime closes which is a long tedious wait I know but I'm willing to.
so glad you covered this! I've binged the whole show last week and couldn't stop thinking about anything else since..it's been a while since I've watched a show that had such an impact on me. I'm not a sports anime fan either but funnily enough, one of my all time favorites (Ping Pong The Animation) is also from that genre
I started watching Haikyuu!! while the last quarter of its first season was still airing. I didn't know anything about volleyball at the time, but I did watch some sports anime. I saw a few clips of Hinata, and it was his resolve that pulled me in. I saw a kid who was fighting for a dream with everything he had, absolutely everything. and like you said: it made me care. I was rooting for him before I knew anything about him.
this video is a fantastic love letter to a series that deserves it so much. you're very right about the reason why they fight being more important than actual winning. it's something that too many action-oriented stories (anime or otherwise) seem to miss. I also never expected to care so much for the rivals and opponents, yet found myself tearing up when some of them lost. the Seijoh 3rd years' final match is the most memorable example for me.
thank you for this awesome video. the editing, music, script - all of it is fantastic. I'm going to send this to anyone I recommend Haikyuu!! to in the future; it really shows everything I love about the series.
I’ve watched this 3 or 4 times and every time I tear up. Beyond Ghibli deserves more recognition in the anime UA-cam community. And way more views.
Beyond Ghibli: "So private that this was the only footage I could find of them."
Miura: "Pathetic."
Oh look there goes another 2 weeks of my life to an anime recommended from this channel
Jesus tap dancing Christ, I've never felt so emotional at the beginning of a video essay before...BRAVO, SIR
This is an absolute masterful video about an anime that I am absolutely obsessed with. A friend recommended Haikyuu to me back in July and I was hesitant to give it a try since it was in the sports genre. I couldn't have been more surprised if I tried to be. The character narratives in Haikyuu are some of the best that I have ever since in any television show that I have ever watched. Over the course of 3 and half seasons, I have come to care as much about the members of Nekoma, Aoba Johsai, and Fukurodani as much as Karasuno, that's how good the characterization is in this series. Your video expertly explains just about every aspect of Haikyuu that makes it so special to me, bravo!
This video deserves hundreds of thousands of views!!
I love Haikyuu, i used to play volleyball in school and that might be a bias, but I LOVE HAIKYUU!!
Sports anime are the purest form of shounen and it really saddens me that some people turn away from such phenomenal shows just because it's a 'sport anime'.
Amazing video today, i love this channel and it's slowly becoming one of my favorites on this platform. I especially am a big fan of your narration. Keep up the good work
Haikyuu!! taught me more life lessons than any other. Whether it's about personal life, work, family, you name it. There's something that can be picked up here.
If you haven't seen it yet, please give it a try.
Me too! I dare to say it changed me ❤️
you perfectly explained why I absolutely love haikyuu with god tier editing (and minimal spoilers!!! extra thank you!!) 👍
also, thank you for mentioning the stage plays!! they're so good and it deserves wayyyy more attention
Wow, I never expected to see you make a video about Haikyuu!! What a pleasant surprise! This is my favorite anime, and it makes me so happy knowing that more people will give this show a chance after watching your video. Thanks so much for your hard work! You put my love for Haikyuu into words ((:
This was a great review and editing, Joe. I hope Slam Dunk is produced again so that we can listen to your thoughts about the best of what Sports Shonen has to offer.
If you think haikyuu is great, then my god does it means so much more if you play volleyball as well. From attending the beginners classes 8 years ago to playing 4 times a week now with my volleyball club and friends, I’m so glad to have haikyuu complement my volleyball experience along the way. Season 1 Hinata was very relatable, I wanted to play volleyball but there was no one to play it with but thanks to Haikyuu, the interest in volleyball has spiked and the community has grown immensely. Unlike some, I’ll never be dismissive of those who only picked it up after watching the anime. I’m just grateful that the story about high school volleyball boys was compelling enough to encourage more people to play the game.
I personally only care for three sports anime. Slam Dunk, Ping Pong the Animations and this one. That shows just how good this anime is!
As always excellent video. Thanks!
you made me cry.
the way you put into words the feelings we get when we see haikyuu are awesome
thank you so much for this!
6:53 NOOO WAY YOU DID THAT! That is PERFECTION!
I had only heard about Haikyuu!! in passing, nothing that would make me want to watch it amongst the plethora of good content available right now.
But your video piqued my interest, at a time when I was lacking focus and direction you spoke about a show that characters make up for what I needed in spades.
And I can't thank you enough for it.
Over the past week, I've seen all 3 seasons of Haikyuu!! and I've caught up to the 4th. It's the best! I love these characters and their stories and I can't wait to see what happens next!
So thank you for making this video, you showed me what is now one of my all time favourites, a Rocky movie as an ensemble to inspire and motivate me and also make laugh.
Thank you!
Haikyuu!! is my favorite anime ever. It may not be groundbreaking or revolutionary, but it makes me feel for the characters, at the point that during the last Seijoh match I was genuinely conflicted and I still cry when Aoba Johsai loses. It's a masterpiece in my eyes, and I really hope it will remain as one of the best sports anime ever, even after the manga ends. Also, I've never seen someone quote the stage play in a Haikyuu analysis video (which are already pretty rare), that was amazing
10/10 editing as always, can't believe I missed this video but glad it was on my recommended. needed this today, thanks
Your love for the art of Anime really shines through in all of your videos, but this one especially gave me the chills. I could feel the raw emotion during your descriptions of the scenes and characters and am definitely going to be checking this series out. Thanks again for making some really great content on here and I can't wait for more!
I'm so happy you made a video about haikyuu bc I really feel like you nailed why this show has had me hooked for so long!
Man thank you for putting me on so many anime that I went and watched after seeing your videos. This is another one of them. Keep up the great work
This was really amazing! Your narrative was riveting, smooth and calming. I just got hooked from the moment you started describing each action. Been a Haikyuu fan since 2014 and your explanation was truly captivating..
I love anime and I play volleyball, so when I heard about this anime, I just had to jump in. And boy is it great and also quite realistic. But the other reason I love Haikyuu is because of how they make it sooo accessible to those that don't like sports or volleyball. Oh! And this was BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks for covering this! You captured the heart of the writing and character development so well! I just got into it last year because I needed something to fill the void between BNHA seasons, but it's been a fantastic series in its own right. I'm so glad I got into it just before the 4th season is due to come out. The hiatus between 3 and 4 would have been painful.
I'm so glad you talked about Haikyuu !! I love this show so much, it made me cry more than once !!
how does this only have 64k views. this 15 minute video gave me as many chills as the actual show did. brilliant. absolutely brilliant.
I can't thank you enough for this video. I'm now in love with this show. It speaks to me in ways I've rarely encountered in any genre. Thank you
Awesome! Editing. It really made me love Haikyu even more.
this editing is GOD TIER !!! AMAZING video brb gonna go rewatch haikyuu for the 62827th time
Just finished the four seasons and was looking for some commentary. This was magnificent. Thank you!
Thanks for another great video Joe. You keep getting better and better.
The editing and overall production is so flawless... I really wish I could donate more than just $1 to your patreon, but unfortunately that's I all I can afford due to Brazil's current economic situation. Haikyuu!! is just such a masterpiece, you've really captured it's essence in this video, I deeply thank you for this :)
Hey don't worry about that! Thank YOU for the dollar, it all helps so much!! Glad you liked the video :)
Okay, this is such an underrated video. Really. This deserves much more.
In my personal opinion an anime needs the trifecta of Art, Story and Music in order to create a perfect storm of anime and Haikyu has that trifecta.
Your editing on this was on point! It brought me to tears and had me laughing out loud. Wonderful job.
Another mastering edited video, as usual, I'm a big fan of its OST and I play it every time I need motivation and you used to great effect here. I'm so happy to see you cover Haikyuu, it was the anime that made me enjoy sports anime.
Your editing is super good! I don’t even need to know English well to understand the topic, because the audiovisual narrative speaks for itself! This video is looks like a very emotional mini-episode of Haikyuu especially with these animated transitions in the middle! Thank you so much! Definitely it’s one of the best videos I’ve ever seen! Very glad to become one of your subscribers! :)
this may genuinely be one of my favorite videos of all time i wanna watch all the shows u talk about now just so i can watch more videos!!
This is my favorite Haikuu explainer. Nice work!
Love this! Such a well made video, really enjoyed watching the video.
Fuck man I haven't cried experiencing something about haikyuu ever since the manga ended. Man you've reminded me why I love this show beyond any other
I cried my eyes out too 💔
World Class video, really. I have been searching for SOMEONE who can articulate (even, just a little) why I love Haikyuu! as much as I do. I mean, it's battling Hunter x Hunter as my all-time favorite anime. Thank you for sharing your perspective and your effort in producing this video.
I am truly thankful UA-cam provides a platform for such talented people. Bravo!
I can't stop watching this video. It's just so amazing and inspirational. Congrats for such a video.
The editing of the video makes this seem like a documentary. Kudos ❤
Wow...I’ve loved this anime for such a long time and you brought out exactly what I was thinking. Great Video!
The way you start every one of your videos is absolutely beautiful
Haikyuu may be my favorite anime at this point, so thank you for excellently highlighting the incredible storytelling and the care that's taken with all of the characters. I look forward to directing anyone who doubts how good this show is to your video so that the can be persuaded onto our side.
I’ve showed this video to so many people and rewatched it on my own on several occasions ugh I love this one so much~
Thank you, I am watching all the show and it is absolutely amazing, it's been I while since I was so touch by an anime!
4:12 sound design and editing is on point
This is such an incredible video! I couldn’t help but nod and excitedly agree with every single sentence you uttered! I’m in tears 🥺💖
Thanks a lot for your video and I also absolutely love haikyuu, its one of these rare animes that I really watch again and again and I feel I never get tired of, because its just so beautiful.
I can wholeheartedly recommend, if you havent already did a video on this - Kaze ga Tsuyoku Futeiru - man.. this really hit so many spots that also haikyuu hit, just way more compressed. It still gave so much inside into every character in such a short amount of time. It always amazes me, how much I cared for them in the end. Besides, I love running myself in private, so this might have clicked for me even more. Shed a tear to your awesome snippets. Haikyuu is love. lol.
Your narration is amazing! I bloody loved Haikyuu when I watched it years ago and you've inspired me to rewatch it again! I subscribed! I look forward to more videos from you and I'm already off to see more! Keep up the great work :)
I just found your channel and I'm binge watching each and every episode. Your narration has a soul of its own.
You make videos that i want to keep close to the heart, they are sooooooo perfect
Excellent. Loved that you mentioned "Winners & Losers" because that is a stellar episode.
Beautiful video. Keep up the great work!
Hello. I just want to express how after many years of searching in the amazing world of anime and manga. I found someone who, with honesty and depth is taking me on adveture. Once again. To find new worlds of my conclusions and inspires to continue searching. Thank you. Very much.
you have such way with words, it's touching.
I watched this video as it came out in January 2020. I just finished the fourth season of Haikyuu - and this video had my tear up at 1:22 . Thanks for being here, Beyond Ghibli, and putting my feelings in words.
