  • This is me reacting to some clips of Nishinoya from Season 1 of the anime Haikyuu. I chose to watch Nishoniya clips because I have already finished season one and wanted to react to his libero highlights! This anime is so realistic it's crazy! I hope you enjoy!

    I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but when the author first started writing Haikyuu enrollment in HS Men's Volleyball in Japan was at an all time low. The author wanted to inspire people to play volleyball, and it worked.

      We actually don’t know the author’s gender. Here overseas the fandom mostly think the author is a male but in Japan the fandom there think that the author is a female. ( they never revealed it I think )So we don’t know if it was in the woman’s team or the men’s ( no hate just putting that out there ) ( and that’s what I’ve been inform with I could be wrong)

      We always struggle to find people to play middle on our men's team, every team in the league does, and the ones who do play middle are often asking if they can play left side sometime lol.
      The middle touches the ball the least, gets libbed out half the time, and has to approach/jump for his attack every single time, even if he might only get set 1 out of 9 times.
      Though on a young team, the right side might actually be the least used player(unlike in higher levels).

      @@user-iu1ru1qz7u I have to agree middle is one of least preferred positions in volleyball, mainly because I feel like it is one of most athletically taxing positions other than setter, main outside hitter, and oppo (in higher level play). It's not only that the middle has to approach every time like he will get the set, but the middle has to close out to the pins on every block, while trying to read if the opposing middle is going to be set. Just having to run back and forth and jumping full bore is extremely taxing on your legs, especially if you're an undersized middle.

For one, the art style of the manga is similar to other female artists and prominently features the female gaze. Also, female characters are never sexualized, which is extremely common by male mangaka. There is a video that shows Haruichi’s hand and it’s honestly impossible to tell if it’s a woman’s hand or just a somewhat feminine male’s hand. Based on name alone, Haruichi is most likely a man, but that could also be a pen name so who knows.

In Romanji (romanticized version of Jpanese), some other common endings to male names are -o (Shoy*o* Hinata), -ji (Kei*ji* Akaashi), and -dai (*Dai*chi Sawura). Female names can have these endings, but it’s much less common.

    I actually find it really cool to know that they’ve, whether on accident or not, put in little mistakes in Nishinoya’s form! Like he’s a high school player, so it would be unrealistic for him to be completely perfect. He’s really skilled so he might be great at a lot of things to the point that Erik is jealous lmao, but he still needs to keep his platform together more because he’s not a professional. This was such a cool commentary, thank you dude!!!

    When people ask me what I think the best anime adaptation of a shounen manga is, I always answer Haikyuu. It's not just the music or the eye-candy animation or voice acting like it is with other anime. With Haikyu, you can tell that the people who worked on it just love volleyball and have done so much research to bring the volleyball from the manga to life in such a realistic way. Every single shot is filled with such fluid posture and technique from each character.
    I've seen anime before with great animation that they only put into creating flashy explosions and with zero substance for how it's being used. That's why it's nice to see an anime like Haikyu that is a lot more subtle yet just as if not more impressive with its animation.

  • @dose1296

I am an athlete through and through, and mental training actually worked REALLY well for me when i played for the first time. It felt like I actually had experience(basics).

      I think it’s more about how characters have time to say whole dialogues in the middle of rallies while the ball is slowly falling/moving. Obviously volleyball in real life goes much faster.

      @@Exoquell To be fair, many people do go through the same or similar thought processes in their heads during games. They just don't have an eternal monologue, so the thoughts happen abstractly and sometimes in fractions of seconds. That's not very useful when developing a narrative, so the author gives a voice to these thoughts. For example, when Nishinoya saves the ball with his foot, he was definitely conscious of the fact that he couldn't save it with his hands in those milliseconds the ball was still in the air. In real life, he might not have actually said it in his mind, but the sentiment is still the same.
