The guy with the different shirt is a special position called a libero, which mainly only plays defense. They play with different shirts so the referees can easlity spot illegal moves that liberos can’t do
To tell you, Haikyuu gives big impact to Japan Volleyball especially in highschool it was around 2014 when the anime and the continuos of manga series was released there were high number of new joiners. A lot of professional and olympic volleyball players loved this show and how realistic they are and show somewhat high level of plays. And yes! I've been watching live games of VNL (Volleyball Nation League) and when Japan Men's team are playing, they play Haikyuu OSTs during warm up.
Haikyu is awesome! And you don't have to know anything about Volleyball because they explain it. Honestly its a series where when you come out you also like Volleyball because of how enthusiatic the characters are! In general the series has a lot of great Characters and hype momenst! Its even si successfull that it made a lot of people start playing Volleyball in Japan(like its a whole statistic) Its pretty realistic so no crazy powers just Volleyball and Teamwork! I can really recommend the series! I like it a lot! And the Op's are great as you now know
Haikyu is by far one of my favorite anime’s that I have watched, I never watched volleyball before this anime and now I understand the game fully and watch pro level games from time to time
Yeah Haikyuu is a very good show, it's just nice to watch and has me feeling all kinds of positive feelings (mostly, lol). It's definitely a comfort anime for me.
orange hair is a first year on the team, so he isn't the captain. Actually, he starts off quite bad at volleyball. He's extremely gifted physically with speed and jumps, but his coordination and knowledge for the rest of the game isn't good. The black haired guy with him is basically his rival, who is basically a genius when it comes to volleyball. So there's a lot of character development in this show. Every single member of the team, and I do mean every member (side characters included), get their own time to shine and chances to improve. A very well done anime, just about volleyball. No powers, no villains, just dudes trying to game. Would be a great watch. Also, the birds are basically to represent each team. The main characters are from a school called Karasuno, which basically means crows. The diving are drills for when they need to dive to save a ball on defense. Gotta train to make sure you do it properly without hurting yourself
@@JonDejour you should honestly. Even outside of being probably the best sports anime (or at least top 2-3 depending who you ask), it’s just a really well written story. All the characters and interactions generally feel real and interesting
The black character is a really good player!! Top 5 hitters in Japan (at a high school level). His name is stylized as Aran for Japanese pronunciation and writing, but it's actually Alan. He's Japanese tho, born and raised, and even speaks in Hyogo dialect (the province where he's from) but the other characters acknowledge that he has a foreign name so the bet is he's mixed, his last name is Ojiro so my personal headcanon is that his mom is black and his dad Japanese, making him blasian. He's not the only dark skinned character but the one that's most prominent among them (Nobuyuki and Leon are the others).
@@JonDejour Yeah, they are played at official tournaments a lot, the japanese men's olympic jersey was even designed in collaboration with the mangaka of Haikyu!! a few years ago! Haikyu!! has a very high standing in Japan, it helped revitalize boy's highschool volleyball by increasing the amount of new club members, the sport was slowly dying on the highschool level, and the mangaka wanted to do something about it because they loved their highschool volleyball time that much.
Haikyuu is an extremely good anime with an amazing cast of characters, the plot is exciting and really gets you invested, the animation is actually pretty good as well, it's very much a love letter to volleyball and is a top teir sports anime!!!
There's a LOT of symbolism and parallels with the teams and their animal mascots. Crows, cats, eagles, snakes. Each team style could be described by their mascot.
Loved your reation. Actually I appreciate that you listen to the ops more than once to sink them in 😊 My Favorite is OP 5 Hikare Are, an infinity of goosebumps each time, and Burnout Syndromes became one of my fav bands if not the favorite coz of the tri op they did for Haikyuu!! So, Haikyuu!! means Volleyball in JP and it's totally superpower free anime which makes it way better than most sports anime imo. Their school name is Karasuno "Karasu" being "Crow" so they are named the Crows, most of the teams are named after a bird or an animal so analogies are a thing in the anime. You don't need to know anything about volleyball to enjoy it or follow what's happening as they teach you as the anime progresses nearly everything you need to be basically a Referee by you finish it 😂😂. I knew *NOTHING* and now I am even enjoy watching real matches 🤭
Just so you know, this openings have been played in the olympics. So yeah, haikyuu is a big thing for volleyball, I'm pretty sure that after haikyuu released, the amount of people interested in playing volley in high and middle school went up
haikyuu is very hype! definitely recommend watching it. btw, the team captains in haikyuu usually have the jersey with the 1 on it. plus the captain's number will have a line under it
13:27 they're diving into the floor in order to practice how to dive without hurting yourself. It seems a little silly but, when the main point of your sport is to never let the ball touch the ground, you might dive dozens of times in a single game regardless of your position. There are certain martial arts that do this too, where you need to learn to fall correctly to minimize damage
This show is probably my all time favorite. There haven't been many that I have legit been launched from my seat in excitement when a big play happens or punched in the gut when the emotions are brought in from the characters. Every character grows and gets a spotlight and with such a huge cast it is crazy how much I got invested in each! I hope you watch the show. It is SO solid
5:18 they cut it short coz there is a time limit for an opining song unfortunately, you can check out the full version of all the songs though. they're way better too at full length
TOBE FLY!! HIGH!! Haikyuu is so great, very loved worldwide even by the professional volleyball players! No unnecessary special power, only passionate high school boys. The characters are great, the "enemies" are friendly rivals that push each other to the best together. The main high school is Karasuno, which Karasu means crow. Haikyuu high schools have animal imaginary in their names, like Nekoma (neko: cat), Fukurodani (fukuro: owl). This anime has great matches, great characters, great humor, and great life lesson. I just really love Haikyuu.
28:08 yes they play haikyuu songs at olympic games this is how popular haikyuu in volleyball field. And there is no power and yes there are character development and they are so greatand they focus on every characters not just on mc. And the birds are their school representative
U can identify the team captain bc they have the number on their jersey underlined, but also since this is a school setting there's an unwritten rule that the older players get to be chosen captains, so since the MC is a first year (freshman I guess, for ppl from the US) he can't get the role, in the main team the captain is the one with the n1 jersey, and he's a third year (senior, in US terms).
Haikyu!! is genuinely great. Very easy watch with great vibes and amazing(!) character work, probably among the best in all of fiction (crazy to say but I actually mean it). No powers, no violence, no unnecessary drama. Just straight up, honest, realistic and relatable volleyball from highschool kids. It also earned itself the nickname "Hypekyu!!" because of how exciting and thrilling it is lol. In terms of writing, quality and music score it can easily keep up with mainstream titles like Attack on Titan, One Piece, Naruto, etc. It's very inspiring, motivational and tackles a lot of different stories and aspects of the sport, it also does a great job of explaining the sport digestible and easy to understand step by step.
if you end up starting this masterpiece of a show i absolutely recommend watching it in dub, it’s so funny and the jokes literally having me rolling on the floor. the dub voice actors did phenomenal and really brought out their inner teenager voices!! they all sound immature and just like an average teen boy you’d meet. FULLY RECOMMEND IT IN DUB!!!! WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.
Oh man I need to watch more than the first two episodes I saw, maybe by the time you watch it (if you do) I’ll have gotten farther and I can watch your reactions to it
While this anime was airing i decided that i like OP4 more than OP5. But with each reaction video OP5 seems like such force of nature. Their team is Karasuno. Karasu=crow Group that did last opening made one of my favourite openings. Barakamon opening. I hope one day you react to it.
Dude, I suscribed just to see you watch Haikyuu in the future, I promise you, you'll learn how to play just by watching it and love voley thanks to this anime, maybe even start playing it😂 you have to watch it
You can compare bro 😅 There's nothing wrong with comparing which one you like. Infact I would prefer which one you'll put at a top and which at the bottom. And your not even hating any song, it's just your preference.
Yo bro Can you react to hajime no ippo openings next? It’s sports also, in this anime there is no random overpowered power ups, every character works hard and it really pays off.
BROO I can't belive you finally reacted to this These openings are so peak, i even did own vid about this I can explain the black crow Their school name is ,, Karasuno", and,, karasu'' means crow in Japanese. I recommend you watching it! I'll be definitely trying to watch these! Also, every single ending from this series is also god tier. Also, the short guy and tall one, they are not best buddies, they are literally rivals xd My opinions - 1# - imaginaton 8.8/10. I really love this band. They are called SPYAIR, so peak #2 - Ah Yeah! 7.3/10. Nice band, but their weakest song probably. #3 - i'm a beliver. Again, same band from first op, SPYAIR. Not gonna lie, i prefer this over first op. 9.6/10 #4 - My fav one. Fly high!! 10/10. Bro, you don't know how much i love this opening. It's PEAK. Band name is Burnout syndromes (btw your singing here is amazing xd) #5 - Hikari are!! Another op done by burnout syndromes. Very, very good. 9.7/10 #6 - Phoenix - 8.6/10 - another song by burnout syndromes! They are cooking here. I really like this song, my friend's fav. #7 - Toppakou - this time, song by Super Beaver. 9.6/10 the chorus is soo good! W reactions Jon. I really appreciate your work🎉. So yeah, would be cool if you could react to this series and their endings in the future! Peak video!
Yeah they are amazing! I’m gonna checkout your vid on them:) and the fact that your ratings are almost EXACTLY how I would rate these openings lol. Great taste 🔥and thank you!:) I definitely consider watching the endings and anime in the future
The guy with the different shirt is a special position called a libero, which mainly only plays defense. They play with different shirts so the referees can easlity spot illegal moves that liberos can’t do
Another reason for the different color jersey is that they can sub in and out on coach's request every rotation.
Ohh ok! Thank you for letting me know 🙌🏽
The bird (crow) is the team mascot and is the name of their school (karasuno, which means crow in japanese).
More accurately, karasu means crow, and so "karasuno" likely means something closer to "of crows"

That’s great, u know a show is good when it has that much influence🔥
One of the best decisions if u start watching haikyuu... Easy one of the best communities that u want to reach your channel
Bet, I’ll consider this for sure!
Haikyu is by far one of my favorite anime’s that I have watched, I never watched volleyball before this anime and now I understand the game fully and watch pro level games from time to time
29:55 don’t worry bro, the black skin character is very good, top 5 ace in the country
I love to hear that!😆
@@JonDejour but he has fat lips
Yeah Haikyuu is a very good show, it's just nice to watch and has me feeling all kinds of positive feelings (mostly, lol). It's definitely a comfort anime for me.
Same, especially the dub, the sub is amazing but the dub is so silly and comforting
I can definitely see it being a comfort show like that!:)
orange hair is a first year on the team, so he isn't the captain. Actually, he starts off quite bad at volleyball.

No powers Bro, just straight fucking awesome volleyball matches
W!
The black character is a really good player!! Top 5 hitters in Japan (at a high school level). His name is stylized as Aran for Japanese pronunciation and writing, but it's actually Alan. He's Japanese tho, born and raised, and even speaks in Hyogo dialect (the province where he's from) but the other characters acknowledge that he has a foreign name so the bet is he's mixed, his last name is Ojiro so my personal headcanon is that his mom is black and his dad Japanese, making him blasian.
He's not the only dark skinned character but the one that's most prominent among them (Nobuyuki and Leon are the others).
I love to hear this! That’s a cool character background he has! I’m blasian myself too lol but not Japanese
Haikyuu is a great anime
I would really recommend watching it
You mentioned how these could be played at an actual volley ball game. At the olympics, these were played at the Japan Volleyball team's matches
Really?! That’s awesome 👏🏽
@@JonDejour Yeah, they are played at official tournaments a lot, the japanese men's olympic jersey was even designed in collaboration with the mangaka of Haikyu!! a few years ago!

I bet that’s what makes this show special!🙌🏽

Oh my goodness! First JoJo and now Haikyuu! This channel keeps getting better!
😁😁
You should watch Haikyuu, it's so good. And it actually teaches you about volleyball so you don't have to know anything to start 😊

yeah opening 4 is the fan favorite 😂. also team name is karasuno and karasuno means crow and the black guy is an amazing player!
I can see why it’s the fan favorite lol!🔥

The most wholesome of shows! So many great characters
😭 their team is called karasuno and karasuno mean crow in Japanese that’s why every opening has a crow
The bird (crow) represents their team, Karasuno
kokkoku OP
Zom 100 OP
Heavenly delusion OP
Banana fish OP1&2

Please make sure to react.
Watching you from Japan!
TOBE FLY!! HIGH!!

That’s great! This sounds like an amazing anime ngl
The black character is Aran Ojiro and is one of the top 5 aces in the whole country
Greates sports anime of all time❤️🔥
Haikyu is a great anime pls react to it I am looking forward to it
super power is the last thing you will find in Haikyuu, one of the few realistic sports anime out there
28:08 yes they play haikyuu songs at olympic games this is how popular haikyuu in volleyball field. And there is no power and yes there are character development and they are so greatand they focus on every characters not just on mc. And the birds are their school representative

If you've played sports Haikyu will click with you. We're here with you when You're ready!
Fun fact, Fly High was played when the Japan volleyball team won. So you’re very right about that song in particular, lol
There are so many great anime out there without super powers, broaden your horizon, you will enjoy it and grow.
the school name is Karasuno and Karasu is the Japanese for crow....the crows just the symbol of the team
Favourites
1. Imagination
2. I’m a believer
Haikyuu!! be litttt 🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡🏐 I love this show sm
Haikyu!! is genuinely great. Very easy watch with great vibes and amazing(!) character work, probably among the best in all of fiction (crazy to say but I actually mean it).

As someone who's watched both sub and dub, I agree that the dub is incredible! Sub for serious plot, dub for absolute hilarity.
The main Team is called Karasuno and the actual meaning of that is "Crow"
you should react to this, don't underestimate how many haikyuu fans out there. You will get views from them.
Haïkyu is soo good omg
thanks for reacting to the crows! Maybe other sports anime openings that you could react to are those of Yowamushi Pedal, they are good too.
kuroko no basket got him thinking they have powers 😭
Honestly it did!😂
Of the many sports-themed anime, Haikyu occupies the top position, we really feel how it feels when they compete in each match.
Oh man I need to watch more than the first two episodes I saw, maybe by the time you watch it (if you do) I’ll have gotten farther and I can watch your reactions to it
You need to see Haikyuu!!!!!!
don't worry bro you'll get into it pretty easy 😁
Great vid man! Believe it or not, the endings are just as good, catchy and memorable as the openings! Hope you react to those too soon!
I may check those out, I really enjoyed the openings 🔥
This black bird is the emblem of the team ''karasuno''
While this anime was airing i decided that i like OP4 more than OP5. But with each reaction video OP5 seems like such force of nature.
Their team is Karasuno. Karasu=crow
Group that did last opening made one of my favourite openings. Barakamon opening. I hope one day you react to it.
Fly high 🔥🔥🔥
The same band did op 4, 5 and 6
Damn whys the transition music so good
Each of these are full songs so you can get more of the guitar by listening to the full song
Haikyuu! is 🔥🏐
In my top 5 sport series
🙂↕️ I love seeing people react to Haikyuu for the first time, I would like to see more. 🫶🏻💕
Just saying, that guitar solo in the first opening goes on for like 10 more seconds in the full version
you should watch haikyuu bro
I really like the way you reactions!!! Please you gotta check this show man! 🤍🧡🏐🔥
id love to see you react to the Dr. Stone openings and endings those are just fire
bro thought every sport anime has some kind of power system lol
20:01 because the team name is karasuno. Karasu is crow in Japanese
Dang he got us guys, now he knows Hinata will turn in to a black bird and yeet off the court 🐦⬛
Jkjk xd
The bird represents their team name or something like that
OP 5 will always be peak
" i hope they made the black character good too" You're not gonna believe this.
Dude, I suscribed just to see you watch Haikyuu in the future, I promise you, you'll learn how to play just by watching it and love voley thanks to this anime, maybe even start playing it😂 you have to watch it
You NEED to watch the Hajime no Ippo openings
22The bird is a crow, and their teams name is Karasuno, which mainly translates to crow
You can compare bro 😅 There's nothing wrong with comparing which one you like. Infact I would prefer which one you'll put at a top and which at the bottom. And your not even hating any song, it's just your preference.
Thank you for understanding, some people get aggravated when ppl have an opinion but u get it lol!👑
All animes dont always have power .
Fullmetal Alchemist and Brotherhood ones, pretty please?
nostalgia
Yo bro Can you react to hajime no ippo openings next? It’s sports also, in this anime there is no random overpowered power ups, every character works hard and it really pays off.
I’m definitely reacting to it! It’s on the list:)!✅ Idk when I will, but I know I will soon
@@JonDejourtysm, I have been recommending these for a while
It's actually pronounced "He-kali-A-leigh" It's not the English "Are" but the Japanese "Are (あれ)." The R's in Japanese are pronounced like a D/L.
finally this peak!!
Hey i suggested these openings that's awesome
BROO
I can't belive you finally reacted to this
These openings are so peak, i even did own vid about this
I can explain the black crow
Their school name is ,, Karasuno", and,, karasu'' means crow in Japanese.
I recommend you watching it! I'll be definitely trying to watch these!
Also, every single ending from this series is also god tier.
Also, the short guy and tall one, they are not best buddies, they are literally rivals xd
My opinions -
1# - imaginaton 8.8/10. I really love this band. They are called SPYAIR, so peak
#2 - Ah Yeah! 7.3/10. Nice band, but their weakest song probably.
#3 - i'm a beliver. Again, same band from first op, SPYAIR. Not gonna lie, i prefer this over first op. 9.6/10
#4 - My fav one. Fly high!! 10/10. Bro, you don't know how much i love this opening. It's PEAK. Band name is Burnout syndromes (btw your singing here is amazing xd)
#5 - Hikari are!! Another op done by burnout syndromes. Very, very good. 9.7/10
#6 - Phoenix - 8.6/10 - another song by burnout syndromes! They are cooking here. I really like this song, my friend's fav.
#7 - Toppakou - this time, song by Super Beaver. 9.6/10 the chorus is soo good!
W reactions Jon. I really appreciate your work🎉. So yeah, would be cool if you could react to this series and their endings in the future!
Peak video!
Yeah they are amazing! I’m gonna checkout your vid on them:) and the fact that your ratings are almost EXACTLY how I would rate these openings lol. Great taste 🔥and thank you!:) I definitely consider watching the endings and anime in the future
