  • Did I use the same title joke around this time last year?.... Yes, yes I did. If you remember that... well thanks for sticking around! And yeah, I am gonna allow myself one title joke in that vain per year. So look forward to next Summer I guess. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video. It's a short but good one in my opinion. Haikyuu was a blast to watch and I wanted to say something about it.

    God I literally love all the characters but I have to say I really really love Yamaguchi.
    The fact that he can be shy, nervous, and generally kind around people, but is best friends with Tsukki who couldn’t care less about what others think(for the most part), gives him a bit of a curious character. On top of that he’s aware he’s not the best player by FAR, but he wants to feel valuable and really a part and vital to the team, and works on learning, practicing, and perfecting jump shots, in which he proves just that. He’s such a kind character who may seem like he fits more in the background, but I can’t help getting excited, curious, and invested in him whenever I see him on the screen.
    * clears throat * Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
    ...I mean I could also just sum this up by saying Yamaguchi is best boi.

    @Waynimations Před 6 lety +146

    Although it’s not a crazy match I rewatch this episode over again many times. It’s just so emotional and as a volleyball player i know how it feels to know the joy of a winning team and the pain of losing.

    • @MurasakiOkami
      @MurasakiOkami Před 6 lety +5

      I think anyone playing sport with a team in general know erally well that feeling that's why it resonate so much with us. It might reach some people a bit more because for volleyball player it's all the more resonating with them due to the situation. (I feel for you on that one i'm in the same boat, volleyball and sport is so hearth breaking when you lose.

    @kiraflo98 Před 6 lety +44

    Whenever I think of Haikyuu, my first thought is that i love all the characters and that i don't dislike ANYONE (beside Maddog maybe). It's so hard to pick a favorite character though. Tanaka, Daichi, Noya, Asahi, Suga. I love them all. As for not Karasuno characters. Bokuto and Kuroo are high up obviously. But even minor, one time characters like Terushima grew onto me.

  • @bandotaku
    @bandotaku Před 6 lety +13

    My favorite Karasuno member is my salty boy, Tsukki!
    Also, another great example of background characters getting good development is the manager of Jozenji. We only see her for a couple episodes, but when she has her moments, they are so impactful due to the characterization we get for her.
    I think Furudate focused on other players on purpose (obviously) so that we, the readers, not only feel a connection to this world, but also so we don't get tired of seeing Karasuno. I know it feels like that would never happen, but I feel like if we focused only on Karasuno, the pacing would go a lot slower.

  • @tigirao5926

      I don't watch much sports Anime either. Honestly never had so much as a passing interest in Volleyball, yet I found myself loving Haikyuu. Give it maybe 3 episodes or so and I think you'll know if you're interested in watching more.

    • @IottiPH
      @IottiPH Před 6 lety +4

      TazerLad I'll probably do since I have the time to. At least I'm sure the animations are really good and that's a huge plus!

      Sleeply Oh yeah you're right 🤔. Btw one of the most powerful? You mean from Konoha? Sorry if I am a bit out of touch with the Naruto universe it's been a while. The only thing I remember from Lee was his drunken fight from the Shippuden movies

    • @belovedgold1130
      @belovedgold1130 Před 6 lety +6

      Sleeply lee can only open 6 gates guy is the only alive Ninja who can open all eight also youre supposed to die or be harmed beyond belief after the 4th gate so its really not something lee uses every fight. I wouldnt say lee is kage level or could he beat guy. Lee is more like kakashi in part 1 level. One of the beat jonin but not top 7 in the leaf

  • @starfruitkirby6962
    @starfruitkirby6962 Před 6 lety +8

    I love Haikyuu so much oml, I loved how well the story develops and I found myself upset at the end of every match because I wanted both teams to win somehow even though I knew it could not end that way. I also loved that Haikyuu not only put loss on the other teams like Aoba Jousai or Fukurodani, but also on Karasuno. Also as big of a jerk as he is presented to be at first, god do I have a soft spot for Tsukishima

  • @jgilly223
    @jgilly223 Před 6 lety +15

    Tanaka is basically my spirit animal so the choice is obvious

  • @AranelEruvyreth
    @AranelEruvyreth Před 6 lety +5

    I absolutely adore Haikyuu!! as an anime and it has ruined me for all other sports anime, tbh. I love the narative, the character development, the characters in general, I love how they handle the matches and that the writer really set up a world where literally anything is possible and we can't expect anything because then our expectations are turned on their head. How the story is so much bigger than just the match and the move sets and the pacing is incredible.
    As for favorite characters in this show, it is really hard to pick. I love Suga and Daichi, Nishinoya and Tanaka, Tsukishima, the coach. As always I'm drawn more towards the surrounding characters than the main characters but I do like them too. And that's just on the team. I also enjoy their opponents and the characters surrounding all of them. It's just such a great show and deserves all of the love and praise it gets.

  • @williamhottenstein1269
    @williamhottenstein1269 Před 6 lety +2

    whike this goes into the manga, i love how haikyuu sets up the second years for next year. i think a lot of haikyuu’s great side character stuff comes to fruition in nationals and subtlety is the method for development

  • @acearohippo
    @acearohippo Před 6 lety +9

    Favourite Karasuno member: Nishinoya. Because, obviously.
    Favourite Team: Not mentioned here, but Fukurodani because, again, obviously.

  • @Selunabun
    @Selunabun Před 6 lety +2

    I honestly prefer some of the other teams than Karasuno, tho Asahi and Noya will always have a special place in my heart. When I was picking my number for my college sports tee, I picked 4 for Noya. But through that year I discovered a massive love for a certain owl ace. Bokuto is certain one of the 'main' side characters, or rivals, and I cant wait to see more on them in the Nationals arc of the manga.
    Another character I fell in love with is Tendō, the Guess Monster. The glimmer of backstory we got for him instantly made me relate, and honestly, I'm still so salty Karasuno won that match. Which I think really highlights how well written the rival teams are written, as we've been given enough information about these characters to get attached

  • @DeathLadyShinigami
    @DeathLadyShinigami Před 6 lety

    One of my favourite use of (literal) background characters is in xxxHolic. The background masses in xxxHolic are all generic blanks with no defining features. For the longest time I thought it was just a stylistic choice, an odd somewhat lazy one but i didn’t think much on it or even notice it overly much. Then as you start uncovering the secrets and plot twists you learn the main protagonist has a strange ‘existence’ and even has moments where he almost fades from said existence. The art ended up showing the exact opposite of the characters predicament in a very clever way that you don’t notice at all till it’s nearly hitting you over the head with symbolism. CLAMP took something mundane that every artist has to deal with and made it a major foreshadowing effect that I’m positive no one caught on to for quite some time.

  • @Kara151097

    I love how nanatsu no Taizai plays with perspective.
    We rarely see things threw Meliodas perspective, instead we switch between Elizabeth and the other sins of Diane, King, Ban which helped make Meliodas seem more Badass without it feeling cheap.
    The focus on character interactions and Relationships makes every character feel more human than the 1note characters we see in many other anime

They all have so many human traits that you dont them as some fictional beings. I would probably say if i was to choose top 5 it would be
    5.Tsukishima
    4.Yamaguchi
    3.Kageyama
    2.BOGE HINATA BOGE
