love seeing Adam giggling at Bokuto's antics with Sarah just seething 😂😂😂
That's exactly what's happening 😆
Ya love to see it, Adam is one of the boys!!!!
@@projectomnia1997Adam is totally re-living it through Haikyuu! 😂
Adam is me 😶🌫️
Lol it's pretty funny, I just have to laugh. I am definitely reliving moments through Haikyu. It's alot of fun to remember moments I haven't thought about in so long.
This is truly the culmination of hinata's cursed bathroom excursions.
Poor guy. This one was for sure the worst hahahahaha
Why is this comment "6d ago"? 🤔
@@MsKRRey yeah why🤔
@@MsKRRey Channel members probs
@@DaeMarius yeah if you pay to be a member you have 1 week early access i think
My faith in Adam and Sarah is always rewarded by how much they pick up on the subtle moments of Haikyuu. I'm sure it would warm the heart of the author to know that two great athletes on the other side of the globe can relate so well to even his subtle nods to real sports dynamics (not to mention the big moments like the start of a tournament).
It was especially great to see the coach in Adam get so hyped about Tsukishima's steps to buy into competitive sports.
Also, Sarah feeling the same way about Kuroo's blocking advice was great. Just makes me want to see her watch her own first-time reactions some time down the line to see if she agrees with all her past analyses.
I've wondered several times if my opinions are the same or different compared to my first watch... I think my perspectives are changing a little bit in terms of the characters because now I know them, but maybe I'm wrong.
Can't upvote this comment enough!
It always amazes me how relatable the show is and how it just brings you back to moments in your own live. I can honestly say I haven't ever consumed any other media that has had that affect on me.
The bathroom interaction between Ushiwaka, Oikawa, Iwazumi and Hinata is one of my favorite moments in the show LOL. I just love the look on Oikawa's face as Ushiwaka confusedly asks "You know only one team can go to Nationals right?"
I love Adam’s reaction to Mad Dog. Immediately laughs, looks at Sarah’s serious face and thinks “oh, we’re taking this kid seriously?”
haha definitely
Man seeing Adam getting giddy about Haikyuu reminding him of his past, it's nice to see and know others share similar feelings.
the bathroom scene will always be peak comedy 🤣
That's the charm of Ushijima! His extreme bluntness is both innocently sincere AND incredibly tactless/borderline rude😆I find it incredibly endearing and it really cemented him as one of my faves. It's a fun characterization to add into the mix when you have characters like Oikawa and Tuskki who are rude on purpose 😅
Aone IS a sweetheart
I think Kuro's statement about Lev's blocking is more applicable to their playstyle as Nekoma. Lev was supposed to limit the ball to a certain angle cause they know they can receive well.
If they can touch it they can controll it too- hits off the body would be too erratic- and also when you bring your arms in you can deal with more powerful spikes too
This episode is one of my favourites, the build up for the main event and everyone working out things together really sets the mood
Im pretty sure that Adam interpretation on Kuro's instructiions to lev already jumped forward to Land vs Sky OVA
I stopped counting how many times i have seen Haikyuu, but today was first time i found myself stuck mentaly on Kenma comenting that Hinata doesn't pay attention to his health outside training (no jacket at night)
omg I just noticed this. Now it make sense, like... (Not to spoil) the Hinata moment 😭
Hinata and Kenma's dynamic is ELITE, I love it sm. They actually ENJOY each other's company and are best friends fr fr , spending most of their free time together . For both Kenma and Hinata this is a big deal. Kenma because he's introverted and picky, and Hinata because he's so extroverted that it's rare he actually deliberately CHOOSES a person to hang out with. Underscoring this friendship is the fact Hinata and Kenma also call each other by their first names which is so freaking adorable and special (and rare in Japan because Kenma is one year older!!) And bonus they text each other all the time!!!
I also love the fact that they catalyse each other's development. Kenma loves volleyball as an intellectual strategic game, but Hinata's fast evolution and unpredictability help Kenma to see volleyball as fun. For Kenma to win against Hinata, he has to put aside his apathy and be fully emotionally invested in the game. On the other hand, Hinata lacks volleyball technique and game sense. For Hinata to win against Kenma, he has to move from his natural athleticism to deliberate strategic intelligence. They are rivals in the best way possible.
Hinata is also really one of the ONLY people that brings out Kenma's rare, competitive, side that loves challenges. Remember Hinata's promise right at the beginning in S1? "I'll make you FEEL DESPERATE about victory!!!" This is endearing on so many levels. One, that Hinata cares so much about Kenma's feelings. Two, that Hinata is promising Kenma that he'll be a worthy challenger and outsmart Kenma in order to win. And three, that Hinata is fine with Kenma being the way he is, he accepts that Kenma usually doesn't feel strong emotions of victory and defeat (so unlike himself). In this episode, we see that Kenma FINALLY responds to Hinata's challenge in S1 (I want a match where there's a game over if you lose). It's beautiful to see the mutual respect they have for each other, and that Hinata's promise in S1 is finally being reciprocated.
Their dynamic is unmatched. Despite being incredibly different, they match each other's energy off and on the court. It's a microcosm of how Nekoma and Karasuno are perfect rivals, the cat and the crow being greedy, omnivorous, and adaptable.
love everything you said, I just want to add though that I feel like most people call Kenma by his first name. I seem to remember all his teammates and coach just say Kenma, so I assume he doesn’t really care about the first/last name thing.
@@xuapril32 Kenma is like the baby of Nekoma, everything revolves around him, the team is the body and blood flowing, and Kenma is the brain, the one they protect. The relationship in Nekoma is kinda more familiar than the rest. But for him to accept and let Hinata, who's from a different school and is even a year younger than him, to call him by his first name, shows that Kenma has the same respect for Hinata, also calling him by his name (something that only Noya does because he took as his senpai) shows that he also considers Hinata not only a rival, but a dear friend.
I don't know if you watched the movie or read the manga by now, so be aware and skip it if you don't want to be spoiled:
Is kinda the same relationship that led Kenma to be best friends with Kuro. Both Kuro and Hinata see in Kenma how he is about volleyball in the same way, but respect it in a different form. While Kuro knows what Kenma dislikes, he tries to lead him doing what he likes, trying for him to enjoy playing the game as he wants. On the other side, Hinata sees that as a challenge, recognizing Kenma as his rival, but also wanting him to fully enjoy the game in a more exciting way (just like himself), something that even Kenma himself can't see happening, that is... When Hinata is not around.
@@xuapril32 ayyyy you're correct!! Best boi Kenma indeed told Hinata the first time they met that "he doesn't care for hierarchy and not to be formal!" but it still shows a huge amount of friendly affection between them that they casually call each other Shoyo and Kenma. In contrast, Kageyama always calls him "Kozume-san" to show respect both as a setter as well as a upperclassman.
Sidenote - it's really apparent if you know Japanese just how polite, dutiful, and respectful Kageyama is lol. He always makes sure to use the "proper honorifics" no matter who he's speaking to (except Hinata). It's Hinata who's more the cheeky gremlin and switches between polite / READY TO THROW DOWN with literally anyone he meets even though he's the babie 1st year.
so yeah, Kenma doesn't care about hierarchy, but it's not like he'll tell EVERYONE to call him by his given name. Just the people closest to him. Really cute. Hinata ofc being EXCELLENT at matching people's energy (look how different he acts with Kenma vs Aone vs Tanaka) is happy to be called Shoyo.
Kenma is just a gamer who's excited to play the perma-death mode.
LOL he would love Elden Ring
i love how sarah's reaction to bokuto's hey hey hey is perfectly in sync with the sound effect in the anime. @ 19:19
Adam's confusion with Mad Dog is understandable, whether because of his appearance, or because of the comment section (I doubt the 2nd one). It's like being confused between Yamamoto and Tanaka.
Edit: It was because of the season 1 draft.
Tangent: With the movie coming out, I am amazed how secluded Adam is from all of these spoilers.
We are protecting him at all costs 💞
I’m imagining Sarah and the fandom surrounding him in a circle like Noya and Tanaka do with Kiyoko 😂
It helps that I am not on social media so I don't see anything and all of you community members have been so amazing keeping the spoilers out of the comments.
@@perevision 🤣
Omg I want to say SO MANY things after this episode and the movie but I'll shush and say what a banger, underrated episode, we tend to forget about these transition episodes and they're usually bangers. Can't wait for the next one!
This is interesting. 22:10 when Sarah said they tend to avoid the body, I remember watching coach Donny’s comment on this. He said boys LOVE targeting opponent’s head when spiking. 😂 maybe it’s a thing about the differences between boys and girls 😅😅
I love this episode. It definitely sets the stage for the matches to begin and gets you in that tournament mood. Reminds me of my junior high days. Ready for Hypekuu!
Kenma: I'd like to play a game with you that's not a practice game. A game where it's immediately "game over" if you lose. I will cry again 😭❤️
As Tsukki’s mother, hearing Adam call Tsukki a “sweetheart” brought tears to my eyes 🥹💗
26:09 This part omgggggg Won't spoil anything, but whaaaaaa 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
the latest movie made me cry 😭🧡
The way Sarah looks at the camera for a second because she knows
This episode title reminds me of Bokuto telling Tsukki his blocks are weak, and he says he's still growing. And now we are shown a different side of Tsukki still growing. He's gone full circle. 😏
I laughed at Adam's reaction, which was the same as Coach Ucay's.
I am very happy to see Coach's perspective on Tsukishima!
Maybe the S2 draft meeting will be punctured with so many players?
24:36 Haikyuu's Original Soundtracks were made by Yuki Hayashi and Asami Tachibana 🧡
I listen to them most of the time, especially when exercising or stuck in traffic. 🧡🧡🧡
if i remember correctly the reason Oikawa reacted like that was is because seijo has never even taken a set off shiwatawazowa in the 3 years he has been in highschool
I was watching this in office as its a slow day today. I hsve seen this show a bajillion times already, but while i was watching i was grinning like crazy the entire time. Well long story short, my teammates got some new stickers for group chat😅
Sarah, I loved your explanation on hand placement for blocking! It actually makes so much sense that hitters will naturally gravitate towards hitting to the left or right of your torso
The blonde hair "yamamoto" (and pre-Karasuno Tanaka) stereotype in anime is supposed to be for "delinquent" children who like to roughhouse/bully/fight, though often in anime the ones portrayed as such are really just loners and eccentric people who disapprove of the methods of the masses so they are voluntarily outcasts.
I actually think, even more than the matches themselves, it's these in between episodes where your insights and experience really make things I couldn't have accessed, like details about mindsets and team dynamics, really click for me. This was such a great reaction from both of you!
From a storytelling point of view, this is an incredible episode for how much it manages to pack in and the different ways it does that. There's the Tsukishima plot, which is probably the main arc of the episode, but there's the evolving team dynamic (Kageyama opening up to his teammates, Tsukishima and Hinata having a semi-serious conversation, Yachi gaining confidence in her new role), the contrast with Seijoh (Oikawa as someone who can work with anyone, and then almost immediately we're introduced to Mad Dog). And all the little ways in which the show gives us the sense of time passing and people getting better, through montages and calendars and the stats for the quick attack; even if we don't get to see those things in detail we know that everyone's really working towards this tournament. It's brilliantly handled--as Adam said towards the end, we got two months in one episode; yet it never feels rushed or heavy.
edit: Also the second-greatest bathroom scene in the series (the best, if we're only counting the ones that have been animated so far)
ya love to see the nebraska shirt
much love from the corn land
Waited all week for this episode, just because of the bathroom scene 😂
this ep is such a low key banger
"And we know bangers"
I honestly always look forward to all the bathroom interaction😹😹😹 and always so fun to see other people find it fun too! My fav one hasnt been animated yet tho!
Truly love seeing you both enjoy and relate to Haikyuu! One of my highlights every week for sure!!
In an episode full of great quotes, "You think it's only obvious if you lose, don't you?" is one of my underrated faves of all time.
Tsukki has... Just, so many built up layers of defence. He treats "it's just a club" like a mantra of self-denial, a way of warding off his own *investment*, because it's clearly there! He wants to win!
But he's constructed this pessimistic, confirmation bias view where losing is "obvious", because 'they were taller', 'they'd been playing longer', 'they had a star player', but... It's like he only makes that calculation for the opponent? If they lose, it was obviously for those reasons. But he seems to refuse to take the same attitude to winning: "we won because of Nishinoya's amazing recieves", "we won because of our Ace's power serves", "we won because I read them for filth and shut down their shots". There's nothing "obvious" in victory. And I think this is because Tsukki kind of quietly expects these things might fail to live up to his faith in them if he puts that in? He's refusing to put his trust and his investment in.
I like seeing Tsukki's brother calling him on that pessimistic attitude. And the way being read like that irks him and pushes him to get more invested, lol.
This episode is so much!!!! SO MUCH character development. Yashi even, Ukai happy with Tsuki, and... and... just perfect!!!
Aone! What a giant cinnamon roll he is! No one can tell me that he didn't see the situation Hinata was in and didn't go to mitigate. Why he was at his back. He wanted to protect his little friend!
omg I live in Nebraska and the women's new volleyball team is so good. i went to the game because of this anime so happy seeing you wear the t-shirt,
I love Adam and Sarah's comments about Kageyama admitting his vulnerability when facing Oikawa! This is one of his quality that I really adore - Kageyama wouldn't encourage the team with some empty words, he's very honest, but he always expresses his faith in Karasuno in his own way!❤
Wholeheartedly agree with adam on that nostalgic feeling. Haikyuu is an amazing anime generally but for student athletes or used to be one, it hits you in the right places. And i live for that feeling.
I think what Kuro meant is to have your arms close enough that the ball will not go through the middle, when you go back you can see how spread Lev's arm is and the ball the just go between Levs arms making. Also it makes it difficult for the receivers to clearly see where the ball is going.
Good luck to both of you for the #1 pick in the draft. For me personally drafting Ushiwaka is like getting Michael Jordan lol
This Draft is going to be Epic!!
謝謝！
Thank you! we really appreciate it.
Thanks for the videos! Also plz pause as much as possible I love to hear the comments. I can watch the show on my own. Around 23.00 about the blocking. The defender has to dive and can't get the ball. Nekoma is a team that wants to feed the ball to its defenders so when Lev suddenly opens the straight on a 2 person block there is no defender ready. I forgot the tip on blocking from last season but unfortunetly I wont be able to apply the spread block as on most days my hands dont go over the net while playing beach😅 maybe ill apply it after my jump training!
I compete in pool tournaments a lot here in the Philippines. Very few things beat the feeling of arriving at a major tournament with all your rivals there. Hits different.
The music that they play during this montage is, perfectly enough, called "Volleyball". And it never fails to bring a tear to my eye. That motif is forever tied to the emotions of this show.
Also i strongly believe that Ushijima not understanding the context of Oikawas statement indicates he's probably on the spectrum a little bit. Any jokes or wry idioms will go right over his head.
We finally meet the best character in Haikyuu!!!!!!!
I love your reaction！❤️
I'm having the worst night in months, but watching this made me smile so thank you❤
I"m sorry you are having a rough night. I hope that tomorrow is better day for you. Glad we could make you smile.
10 episodes until Adam gets to see absolute peak Haikyu and I’m so hype!
Make sure that you guys check out the extra episode before season 3! Not gonna describe it cause it’s spoilers for Adam ✌🏽
as someone who doesn't play volleyball, my thoughts about Lev's blocking, it's more like Kuroo wants Lev to get the basics down since he's a beginner. and it wasn't a solo block. We don't know if its 2 or 3 person block, since you can see kenma beside Lev, but the screen cuts off. so i guess the context matters too xD
In my own sport in school as well, I've always been scolded for not doing the basics right, only then I could experiment with my own style of playing.
Also Adam saying a lot of people having the 'i'm going to lose' mentality. It's true. I'm like that too. It's not that I didn't practice enough, its more like seeing what i've done in practice and seeing the opponent's skill, as someone who relates to tsukki and have been told i'm tsukki without a yamaguchi to get my motivation back, its hard to think you can do any better. Always been losing and losing is what i'll always do. that's that kind of mentality.
I really like Hinata's attitude this episode: the "we have to beat everyone anyways." I'm not much of an athlete anymore presently, but have had some successes in the past. Towards being competitive, I was competitive in the mindset of "ok lets see how far my skills take me"; I never really thought of ever getting to that top spot of being the best, the pinnacle. I think a lot of competitive athletes have thought like me in those limiting ways, or I'd like to think so. So I admire the ambition and think it's a useful tool
Just nitpicking, kuroo said close enough to stop the ball… so not necessarily together 22:15
Hi from Perú! 😃 Thanks for turning on automatic subtitles 🤭
Sarah does all that work every week to make sure the subtitle are ready!!
13:39 lol it’s not a pro mentality but staying in your age group has social benefits parents and children have different priorities for playing sports. I tap danced recreationally for eight years but when we moved I had to change studios and ended up in a class where every member besides me was in competition and I probably had less fun because of it and I couldn’t bond with the other members.
Definitely pros and cons you just have to know what your goals are and what you are looking to get out of it.
The last couple minutes of the episode had me grinning ear to ear
Here we go!!!!!
That's the best bathroom scene in the show right there LMAO
I am sure you are right over Kuroo when it comes to blocking, but consider who he is saying it to. Lev isn't a "smart" player or blocker, at least not now, perhaps he wants a consistent block from Lev so when they block together the better blockers can adjust while Lev the worse blocker does something they can predict.
the way y'all talk about moving up age groups and the youith side of sports being about improvement over results yes yes yes!!! This is something that we don't embrace in america soccer a sport I'm fond of has that bvery problem and is one of the reasons I still think we lag behind the other top nations at international football. Too much about winning and not enough about development
I totally agree with you. I think it stems from 2 things. 1 the drive to get scholarships as school as post secondary is so expensive. 2 parents who just want their kids to win now and make that the focus. I think it's hard for parents to have perspective on their kids especially if they did not play high level sports. In other countries you are tied to a club and see the professionals training near by and have aspirations. If you are good enough you get invited out to practice.
26:16 I’m looking Sarah face at this moment
I noticed something, and it is a kinda non-spoiler, as it is so far into the future we don't even know if it will be animated or not. Hinata mentions that "the bathroom is where all the strong players show up" and in the epilogue, past all the main story and when there is a separate story, you see two really strong teams play each other and many of those players are originally considered top level from the main story, and many of them end up showing up around the teams bathrooms, like 80% of the main player from both teams are there.
Kageyama was saying Oikawa can use a player who dislikes him, not the other way around. Slight translation mistake.
New here, do they have a fixed upload schedule for this series?
Please do react to shiratorizawa and aoba johsai ending bonus clip ,i.e, season 2 ep 25.5 and season 3 ep 10.5
I was wondering, did they ever announce the results on who won the draft for season 1? I remember seeing the voting poll, but that was it.
Sarah How Dare YOU GIVE KUROO THE BLOCKING KING TITLE JUST BECAUSE HE IS YOUR MAN CRUSH THE BLOCKING KING WILL AND FOREVER WILL ALWAYS BE AONE from Date tech!!!!! dont ever besmirch his title again LMAO LOL "all said in a joking, playful and loving manner btw"
wait for the Immovable's debut
I totally take Sarah's side on how to block 1on1. She is a professional Volleyball player after all, an Olympian at that. I think she's also heavily focused on hard-blocking a ball (a monster block). In Beach Volleyball when you block you aren't really trying to guide the ball somewhere else. What you are trying to do is stuff the block right then and there - end the play. With only 2 players on your side of the court, that's what you're trying to do. So for 1on1 blocking I totally get it that you would spread your hand and cover a lot of space with your block. You are using your experience (understanding vision, understand what most people see when they spike, understanding HOW most people spike, the technique and the angles), and you're trying to outplay the spiker and end the play. You want to hard block.
However, in regular Indoor Volleyball where you're building a block-wall of 2 or 3 players, most coaches would teach to not have any gaps in the wall. So there you have 2 or 3 blockers with their hands straight up over their heads; That's how you get a closed wall, and your other team members can receive around you. In that particular scenario, where you have a 2-man block, or 3-man block, I just can't imagine all 3 blockers having their hands apart to "take up space". That would just be a wall with 3 holes over each of the blockers' heads to spike through.
So in principle, 1on1 (either Beach Volleyball, or Indoor Volleyball) you have your hands apart and try to take up space as Sarah said; You are trying to stuff block 1on1.
If you're playing 6on6 though, and you want to guide the ball, or wall off sections of the court with your blockers, you don't want gaps in the wall at all, so you have to adjust accordingly, which means several blockers, hands over the heads, close together, no gaps. You aren't necessarily trying to stuff block. It's a multi-purpose wall. At least that's how I understand it.
That's only theory though. Even when you watch Indoor Volleyball international games, and Olympic games, you see different block techniques. Some spread their hands, some don't, sometimes they have holes in the wall and the ball gets through (as expected), but sometimes they block the ball precisely because they spread their hands while being part of the wall (so in theory you'd think that was bad, the wall had a gap or multiple gaps, but they achieved the block...because they were watching the ball and adjusted I suppose?). I think ultimately it all comes down to experience and watching the ball mid-play, and your opponents mid-play, to make a good decision on what block to use.
I watched several matches of the Japanese national team in the VNL over the last couple of days, and I noticed their block technique to be exactly what I said in my post above. One on one they spread their hands to occupy more space and try to stuff block the ball. But if they block with a wall (2 or 3 blockers lined up), they have their hands together. Just thought I'll add this here to my original comment.
Fun Fact: The nickname "Mad Dog" that Oikawa came up with for Kyotani Kentaro (the new guy) does not actually mean "Mad Dog". It's just the first syllable of his first and last name combined together; "Kyo-Ken Chan" is derived by Kyo (Kyotani) and Ken (Kentaro). There wasn't any good way to localize it, so "Mad Dog" was brought up to make it sound cooler and meaner.
"The nickname 'Mad Dog' that Oikawa came up with for Kyotani Kentaro (the new guy) does not actually mean 'Mad Dog'" is actually not very accurate.
京谷賢太郎 (Kyoutani Kentarou) → 京賢 (Kyou-Ken) → 狂犬 (kyouken) → mad dog
so his nick-name DOES kida mean "Mad Dog".
i would say Sarah's take on the blocking part is fair and right. but i would say it doesn't work on every hitter tho. like Bokuto it wouldn't work because i think he is the type of player that would rather try and power thru a block most of the time. i think for most hitters it would be a fair bet to do it Sarah's way but you should read the opponent first.
Remember, the very first time Hinata and Kageyama talked was outside a bathroom.
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
TMI people always mention about HINATA 🌞and Tsuki 🌙 Is there somebody knows about Hinata and Kageyama which is sunshine 日 and shadow影! ！
FYI, the captain for Johzenji is the same voice actor as Twilight from Spy Family.
Eh, I think Ushiwaka is still kind of a douche, even if he doesn't means to (I like him as a character, tho). Like, he's not arrogant, he has every reason to be confident. But he's still often being a jerk - it's the "it doesn't stop being mean just because it's true". Honesty is a good thing, but that's not the same as bluntness. Rn tho this doesn't really matter bc everybody is trashtalking everybody either way lol
For a seeded team that wins often, a championship team will often exude more individuality and pride, right? Treating victory as ordinary as eating breakfast will also put a lot of pressure on the opponent.😅What I want to say is that this kind of emotional reaction is also an issue for coaches, right? Just like... maintaining the confidence that a championship team should have, or reminding them in a timely manner: Hey! You shouldn't underestimate your opponent. Just like every player with a distinctive personality in the animation, you should motivate or calm him down. This is related to "rhythm", isn't it? Whether it’s a team or an individual
I'm not sure I fully understood your comment, but yes I agree that winning breeds expectation of winning. Every team strives to create a winning culture, and that is both visible with players and invisible (internal believe). In terms of coaches, my personal opinion is that it isn't about you. You should not react emotionally, you should have a beat on what is happening and give your team and players what they need, that is the most important. Somethings that is hyping them up, sometimes it's being hard on them and bringing them back into focus.
@@adamschulz9475 The simpler meaning is that emotions can affect the game, but as for handling emotional reactions, how should we as coaches deal with players of different ages? This is actually more complicated. I have watched all the plots and endings of this animation, so in They did a great job in describing emotions, with rich characters and emotional responses.
@@norlandmontblanc4145 I think that age has less to do with than understanding where a particular athlete or team is at. Athletes (and people) mature at different rates so you really need to get a feel for what each athlete needs and the team needs. Easier said than done but if you observe your athletes in different situations you should be able to get a good feel for how they react to your feedback and emotions.
@@adamschulz9475 The time in student days is really limited. Every game is precious. Sometimes decisions really affect many things. Take a gamble. Maybe it's just talent that hasn't been discovered yet. He just matures later than others. You can feel it when watching animations. To the passion and youth side, but maybe because of age, sometimes I have to think about the reality. Did I make the wrong choice? Sometimes I have to ask myself, did I kill his possibility?
I am not sure how much I agree with Sarah's point of blocking but I am just an amteur playing with people that have played in lower groups of volleyball and as a beginner when I go for a spike I only see the hands I rarely see the people's body when they are blocking I see just the hands from the blockers but it is far away from pro volleyball blockers and attackers I don't know
I would say the more confident you are with your skills the more you are able to focus on your opponents earlier. So for example you say you only see the blockers hands, I would guess that going into your approach you are very focused on your setting and the ball making sure that you are going to where the ball is set. This means you can only focus on the blocker later in your approach. The higher level you are the less you have to watch the ball. Your setters are good enough that you expect the ball to be in a certain place, you have the capacity to pick up more information on your approach (hence Sarah talking about seeing the body of the blocker)
@@adamschulz9475 I agree but wouldnt that mean that you should be able to see not just the body but the hands as well?
Yes, but blockers at high levels will also move their hands, you can’t really move their bodies. Those hitters will also be looking for the defenders as well in the air so they can score.
@@adamschulz9475 so you limit your focus to blockers bodies to guess where the block will be to be able to see the defenders behind never tought about that, that way
@@3rielinawa814 Every player is a different, they see and process things differently. But generally you are trying to gather as much information as possible so you can make a good decision on where to hit the ball. I generally talk about eye progressions so for example (in this case I will talk as an outside), I start my approach and look where the blockers are. Is the outside blocker lined up to take my line or my cross court. This gives me a starting point. I then might take a peek at were the libero is standing or the player in 6. Where they go will also tell me what how they are trying to defend me. Then I come back to the ball before I hit and I can probably see the blockers hands at this point. It all happens very quickly but because you have done it so many times as you see things your brain recognizes patterns and you know where to swing. The preparation that goes into playing against an opponent also helps. For example if you see the 6 defender slide into 5 maybe you have seen on video that the block always takes line so you are just looking for 1 or 2 things to give you an advantage.
Honestly Sarah stop travelling so Adam can catch up!!! ahahhaah But fr I really want to see him react to the Seijo and shiratorizawa games.
I swear Sarah has these expectations for reactions on Adam and he just misses those points. But he definitely finds those others 😂😂
Sarah and I relate very differently to this show lol. Some parts hit her and I get nothing. Other parts I'm in tears (once) and she looks at me like I'm crazy lol
Sarah, Mad Dog looks like Tanaka, probably for this reason Adam thinks he recognizes him.
It is much harder to engage in the content, when half of the episode has no audio
There really isn't much they can do about that, copyright is a pain
We always submit the episode with full audio to youtube and then edit the copyright parts. We release the full episode with no white bar and full audio on our patreon.
Can't wait for next episode
All the pieces are coming together! Every "Hey hey hey" only makes Bokuto stronger, and Sarah's disdain for it only furthers that strength.
Bokuto certainly feeds on Sarah's disdain😅
Ahh I love to see this episode get some love, it IS a low key banger - one of my favorites for sure.
One of my favorite lesser talked about themes of Haikyuu is the idea of “still growing” and how even though they all learned a lot at the training camp early in the season and the benefits paid off in the qualifier prelim matches, there’s always more room to keep growing! It’s so great to see how it comes through not only on the players skills but in their attitudes as well, and it was so fun to see you both pick up on that here too!
Plus lots of humor and character dynamics in this one! And Adam is so right about the characters personalities starting to slot together to create an even stronger team, great video and analysis from you both as always!
So glad you enjoyed it!!
It’s a little scary sometimes how Adam is just so on point 😂.
I promise I have no fore knowledge of what's going to happen lol.
interesting facts
Mad Dog's voice actor is famous for having a variety of voice qualities, and is also the voice of Olaf in the Japanese version of Frozen.
nah that was facts by adam oikawa's utilization of mad dog is actually goated
35:34 The thing is, there isn't even a false sense of how good Shiratorizawa is. The fact is, Shiratorizawa has won every single prelims and gone to Nationals ever since Ushiwaka has been there, so he expects nothing less. Basically, he just knows that Shiratorizawa is just better than all the other schools in the prefecture.
Just want to say that seeing the huge smile on Adam's face while he's watching the final few scenes and reliving that tournament enviornment had me grinning ear to ear. Haikyuu has always been my favorite (I stopped counting after the 20th rewatch 😅) its my comfort anime but you both bring such joy to my watching experience. Thank you so much for these vidoes 🥰
i wait every week for these!!!! Im so excited for adam to catch up
Hyped for the rest of the season. The series is gonna go uphill from here.
I just recently found this channel and literally binged these couple reactions (along with most notable arcs from Sarah’s reactions). I’m caught up now and so excited to watch them as they’re released.
Same. It popped up in my feed one day and I watched on a whim. I'm learning so much more and have even more appreciation (if that's possible) for the level of detail Furudate put into his work. Needless to say, watching someone else watch Haikyuu for the first time is the thing I didn't know I needed in my life.
You should definitely take the time to watch all of Sarah’s solo Haikyu reactions. You get way more insight, emotion and quality to a Haikyu reaction from a pro like her than you ever will with others like Victoria Garrick and Coach Donny who just go through the motions, and especially compared to other cookie cutter anime reaction channels from people who know nothing about volleyball and just act for the camera.
And I’m sure you’ve already noticed that her reactions are full reactions. So combine that with everything I just said and it’s really a no-brainer to watch all her Haikyu episodes, instead of just the notable ones.
@@locomojoboy2 I plan on it. I just haven’t gotten around to it yet
I actually already did that 😅 it took me a few weeks but I went back and binged her original reactions. I'm actually watching coach Donny's right now while waiting for new couple reactions. I like that he puts in clips of real volleyball to show off things in the show but Sarah reacts like the rest of us. She cries when I cry, she grins when I grin (except for Bokuto😉)
Ahh these comments made my day. Thank you for the kind words!
20:30 Kuroo! My favorite non Karasuno player in the whole series!!!! Kuroo Supremacy!!!!
26:21 Sarah looking at the cammera because... SHE KNOWS! I love it-!
Goosebumps during the episode, and even more thinking about what's coming up. CHILLS.
Unironically one of my top 3 episodes of the season. I love this episode so much. It has incredibly strong pacing, great character interactions, and even better growth. Such a fantastic episode for one that's "just" a transitional episode between tournament matches.
That line between Hinata and Kenma talking about a game with no rematch. AND THEN WATCHING THE HAIKYUU MOVIE. Pure chills
Spoiler alert!
SPOILER😊
Dude either delete this comment or put a spoiler alert before it. It's totally not cool to spoil Adam
Uhhhh…. The movie title gives it away so it’s not much of a spoiler…
Do we know if Adam knows the name of the movie though?
Regarding the interaction with Tsukishima and his brother saying "It's only obvious when you lose." I think he's refering to the fact that their blocks were ineffective. For a lot of people it's easy to see the flaws when they lose, but it's a lot harder to see those flaws when they win because "You won so that means you did everything right/well."
I think he was saying that Tsuki sounded like he expected to lose, and Tsuki answers "he was tall" as an explanation, like it was obvious. That's why he invites him to train with his team.
Question for Adam!
Who do you think would be a good coach, growing up?
I"m assuming that you want me to pick from the current Haikyu coaches we have seen in the anime so far?
@@adamschulz9475 I was wondering what of the players could become a good coach layer in life. All the players not just the karasuno ones.
38:09 oh Adam🫢
If you guys watch multiple episodes per week you guys could catch up and adam can watch the haikyuu movie in theathers
