This better be a slow cook 😭

I’m curious what they mean by “mmm” 🤨

Apex

Hallelujah

Brady

wow judging from the caption they hate the show and should watch prison school instead

༒ dianna ༒

about time i was gonna off myself

Gobbo

Hahahaha 🤣 that show is pretty hilarious, the manga is goated

Ale

Just curious, is this going to be once a week?

In utah with a haikyu drop!!

Update: Squid Game Season 2 Trailer has been released 👀

maria

dude let’s fucking go :3

Aleks T

YAYYYY

GreetswithJudgement

Hate to do it since it is unrelated but you guys should watch Squid Games so you can catch up to the second season coming this year! Not my favorite but it’s perfect for reactions!

Mysterious Figure

I mean, I feel its ok if you guys drop shows you dont like watching. Just saying. 💀 For this one especially, would make my day too. 🤣🤣

kai

finally cause i was so bored

Melizé

YESSSSS! ❤️

DAI

don't worry. I dropped this show like pre 10 eps. It won't be a cook.

Angela

Still waiting for blue lock 😔 that show is constantly so hype

DAI

fr!!! 100x hyper than whatever this is!

Sean

I watched through S1 when it came out but never got the urge to continue. It was decently enjoyable, but felt like another blueprinted Shonen pasted into the sports genre. Just my shit opinion I suppose since everyone else loves this show.

Mysterious Figure

You Haikyu fans are strange. There's that guy that kept saying he would give his life if this show won the poll, and yet despite himself he keeps coming back here day after day... 🤣🤣 I mean you know Im talking about Farkzy

Angela

Like after watching them for so long, I just KNOW they would enjoy it. It’s entertaining, psychological, all the characters are so interesting and practically main characters themselves

Fujiie

What timing. Just recently watched the clip of the Japanese olympic team playing the Haikyu song 😂

Mysterious Figure

I have to keep myself entertained somehow through this. You guys have only yourselves to blame 👌 🤣🤣 Also, take a joke its not that deadly

Amna 🍉

they're only 4 episodes in, ya'll need to calm down lol

Kite

Kageyama is Genos

Amna 🍉

I BETTER NOT SEE BRIG SLANDER

theprolificpotato

dropped it after S1. never got into the hype. personally, it was kinda slow & the payoff's kinda disappointing. humor's a bit forced, i dunno. just not my cup of tea.

Yuri

S1-17 is one of my favorite episodes! Can’t wait to watch you guys hyped :)

Kna

got here as fast as I could. All is right in the world

Sandi

It is. Honestly after episode 6 it gets really good!

Sandi

if Carter can be 100 episodes into Naruto, Brig can do this.

Calen

I'm not one of the people who was going crazy for you to watch Haikyuu, but I do think it's a good show. For me, the first 5 or so episodes (don't remember enough to give a definite number) are some of the weakest in the series.

Ashley K

Enter my boy Tsukkiiiii

༒ dianna ༒

@Mysterious Figure First, I didn’t ask for you opinion, two this was a fucking joke you freak.

lola

FINALLY!!! LETS GO!!!

Ashley K

I recently commented on one of your really nice comments under Shogun and complimented it. What happened to the nice energy

Sanji

Imma be honest this show ain’t a slow cook it’s pretty much this vibe the entire time. It’s a goated slice of life. There are hella hype moments but there’s no cool powers or insane drama. It’s just wholesome day in the life sports show. The selling point of the show is that it gets you to passionately root for the players. I’m a sports fan and I never cared so much about every single point until watching haikyuu. This shit gets me patriotic towards them HAHHAA. if you don’t feel that way by the end of the season then IMO this show ain’t for you guys 👍

afrodude

nobody is making you do this. “only have yourselves to blame” this is so weird man just go outside LMAO

lola

This is the thing… Haikyu gets better and more hyped with time. Some shows just take time to click.

Kite

I remember y'all talking about the "This is Rocket League" moment making you emotional, this show has those moments 😈

Carrie

Kageyama lurking around the corner with his milk always kills me 😂

alexis ♡︎

the little giant was in hs when hinata was a kid, he’s years older than them so hinata wasn’t saying that kags is better than the lil giant

~Mercedeez Lee~

Why do people like Blue lock so much ? It’s like a 2.0 version of Prince of Tennis with its over the top action and edgy moments. Could never get into it. Is it because it’s a football anime ?

Joydan Bri’an

wooimabouttomakeanameformyselfhere 🙂‍↕️😁

~Mercedeez Lee~

I got hooked on the first episode, so for me it cooked straight away but yeah everyone is different

Ayoodude

Such an L show man…could be watching Bleach

idcjayyy

how's it an L show? You either don't fw volleyball or just don't mess w any anime that doesn't have brainless fighting. Haikyu is a 10/10 sports anime. Up there w Blue Lock

Mason Schutz

The issue is that you guys have spent so much time watching pure action anime that offers you nothing but immediate satisfaction. Meanwhile, Haikyu slows you down and takes a more realistic approach to strangers meeting and trying to figure out how to work together. It properly introduces you to two main characters starting from ground zero together who are both now part of an actual team that wants success and wants to win just as much as they do. You actually get to see them evolve into what makes them a terrifying team instead of them already being terrifying. Trust the process and actually use this time to understand the characters on screen. So when future episodes come, you’ll actually be able to see their evolution and how far they really came.

MissJodles

Staying up until 2am was worth it 🥲

Caraxes🐐DT

You just gotta get used to sports anime lol these things happen …the show will win you guys over tho no doubt it’s just you guys are new to the sports kind I would guess

G

Kurokos basketball

bateman bookworm

the first like 6 eps are slower, but it does start to cook. If you still aren’t into it after season 1, then that’s enough to know it’s not for you and to drop it

Kite

all you do is comment different animes just to annoy people, if they were watching Kuroko instead of this you would comment "haikyuu"

Zannen Da

Nah, if they watched Kuroko in sub, he be like ‘ watch it dub’

G

Hell no kurokos dub is terrible

botanbutton

They shouldn't stop Haikyuu but I would love to see Prison School 😂

G

Nope watched all sub I don’t like dub for every show 😂

MADHOUSE

While I enjoyed this series since episode 1, I will admit, it doesn't pick up until Karasuno meets their first opponent team. It's funny you guys keep mentioning that they keep talking mid-game, while in Naruto, every fight has someone yapping the entire fight with needless backflashes. No hate to Naruto tho, Shippuden is goated. Haikyuu is cooking on low-heat rn. It'll raise the heat in no time boys

Zannen Da

@G You still had the thought that the dub was gonna be good before you regretted it.

Emily

I love how this show is just funny don't take it too seriously pls yall

Mysterious Figure

Im literally coming here for the jokes, and entertainment, since so many Haikyu fans get so wild defending this show to the point that they almost wish death upon us that dislike it. It's crazy funny to see how unhinged people can get without me actually saying much of anything really.

Ale

Tsukishima is so unlikeable 😂 I love him, he is my favorite character, nobody trash talk like him ❤️ This anime is character driven and it does take its time to introduce you the characters and show you the evolution. As you guess this match doesn't really matter, as Daichi said in ep 2 (I think) it's only to showcase the first year's abilities. Also I feel that there is a lot of negativity in the comments, like a lot of people come just to shit on the show or to give a shitty reply to another person enjoying the show. I don't know if you guys have mods here, but I'm definitely seeing people do this with only Haikyuu for some reason...

I’m Tired

i don't blame any of them if theyre not liking it off the bat, i dropped haikyuu the first time i started it and didn't pick it back up till like 2 years later, its a slow beginning and it takes a sec for you to get into the groove of the show and learn that how they tell the story isn't what you expect. I don't come here to watch you love a show unconditionally, I come here to watch you guys react however you want to. I'm here and I'm excited and happy to watch their journey of either loving or hating this show, loved this reaction regardless

Eli Grady

Definitely let it cook! These opening episodes have a lot more dialogue to really introduce you to the team and who they are, so it makes watching them grow so much more satisfying. Straight heat and hype when the matches start up. And other than the matches that keep you on edge, this show has some of the best character development and character writing in any anime I've watched.

A_Daddy Daichi

I have had a volleyball hit me right in the face in high school. NOT FUN lmao

An

i feel like it is a slow cook tho? it gets better every episode and season but yea the vibe definitely stays the same

maria

oh most definitely! i also dropped it cause it was to slow for me but i picked it back up years later and now it’s one of my comfort shows ever and i’ve rewatched it 3 times already! :3

vojeeisgaming

This anime supposed to be really good. If they end up disliking it after like a couple more episodes or say its mid then that'd be something. A lot Haikyuu fans gonna be mad lol.

Zannen Da

Such is the plight of anime fans. Not all anime is created equal.

Sanji

For me personally, it’s not a slow cook bc the type of joy I got from the first couple episodes were the same for later episodes except more emotional. I didn’t need 20 episodes to start enjoying it. It does get better the more you watch but imo not cuz the story gets inherently better but bc you get more invested to the characters 👍

Sanji

This but for one piece and 1200 episodes 💀🔥🔥👍🔥🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🙏🙏🧎‍♂️‍➡️🧎‍♂️‍➡️🧎‍♂️‍➡️

Kesendo

If you end up not liking this, hopefully it doesn't scare you away from watching other sports anime in the future. You'd miss out on the GOAT Kuroko's basketball.

maria

oh yeah, i know! i was saying it’s become a comfort show of mine, i don’t think they would watch anything for comfort lol

naopou

I disagree, the amount of talking and flashbacks really does get less and less as the viewer gets to understand each character's motivations and understand volleyball. IMO the GEKs are just struggling because of the slow pacing and maybe some of their previous volleyball knowledge which can make the intro eps seem redundant.

Mason Schutz

The way I haven’t stopped saying this since I watched the movie… LMAO

lola

I don’t think anyone can call a 90 episode anime mid until they’ve at least watched the 1st season… in my opinion the first 10 eps are slow because they are introducing the characters and building up their stories. It starts to pick up after. Season 4 was absolutely goated and made me feel things I don’t usually feel when I watch anime. I hope they don’t give up on it.

Zakki

Haikyuu fans get wild defending not just the show but also themselves because for the past 3 polls or so people were being really gd toxic and saying borderline (sometimes not even borderline) homophobic and misogynistic stuff in poll comments about both the show and the fandom - things were bad enough to warrant bans, bro. If you’re just here to kill the vibe, there’s no need for you to be here. Just let people enjoy things and go enjoy one of the many other reactions available on Geks’ patreon.

༒ dianna ༒

@Mysterious not you stirring the pot and then acting like a victim. Keep your mouth shut and people won’t find the need to retaliate.

Ben Everest

We used to pray for times like these

Zannen Da

Oh okay i know what you mean. I avoided this series for years cuz i was burnout from other sport anime/manga but this is a bingeable series. Im gonna stick with watching along the gek and see what happens til then.

alexis ♡︎

these reactions are so interesting bc i feel like they’ve already kinda heard so much discourse surrounding haikyuu and it’s mostly either ppl absolutely loving it and praising it (like myself) or people doggin the shit out of it with like very little in between 😭 i feel like both can have a negative effect on y’all’s viewing experience and i’m scared because it seems like you guys like it but are like waiting for the other shoe to drop, whether it be you can’t stand it, or you fall in love with it. idk if that makes sense but to echo a comment from @paris, this show has crazy peaks but i also didn’t hate the first episodes. i’d personally say it picks up around ep 10 but it’s not that it really changes (besides getting a little faster paced) i just already loved so many of the characters and how they interacted with each other that i wanted to see them grind and i wanted to see them win. i say all this to say, i did enjoy tf out of the reaction and i’m still gonna be fiening for more 😂 i just see people talking about dropping it and while i would be heartbroken, if y’all finish season 1 and hate it then ig i wouldn’t be mad but i can’t see carter, jack, or cannon hating it by then. i’d be kinda surprised if any of the boys really hated it by then but hey, i could definitely be wrong cus again, i absolutely adore this show 😅

SlamboHamburg

It's about character growth guys. Ya gotta give it a chance

Josh

Your guys' thoughts so far are completely fair. You'll know for sure whether you like the show or not after the first season (25 episodes), but there's surprisingly a lot of groundwork that needs to be laid which is what's going on right now. It's pretty linear with its quality progression up until the start of season 4 (which is still good) I'd say It's not going to be this type of talking for the whole show, but I don't remember how long it goes on for. I'm pretty sure it stops within the first half of this season though. They'll always treat volleyball extremely seriously, so you kinda have to get onboard with that Glad you guys are giving it a shot and being open minded

Mysterious Figure

@Diana I have never played no victim LMAO. No need for that. I just say what I think. You guys just seem to have so much issue with people disliking your favorite show. I would rather have the boys watch literally anything else on that list but Haikyu for 4 episodes each week, so if I ever feel like talking about it I will. You better get used to it.

chloe willmott

I can’t wait for you guys to really get into this, it seriously builds so much suspense and excitement throughout each episode. You guys will actually love it

DarlingDiamantes

Kuroko is boring, first few ep were cool but then became boring/repetitive real, same with the boxing anime, hajime no ippo, only sports anime’s I was able to finish and enjoy are Haikyu and Hinomaru Sumo. Imo tho

MissJodles

As always, really appreciate the boys staying honest and open with their opinions 🙏 And it is true, the first few episodes of S1 are definitely slow, especially because it’s introducing all the characters, their various dynamics, strengths and weaknesses, as well as teaching the audience how volleyball works. This first part of the season really is a slow cook, but don’t worry guys! The later matches definitely have a faster pace, and the "yapping" is lessened, or at least more integrated too, to the point it would be much less noticeable. And like some of you guys were saying, the context is often important and makes those bigger moments more hype. But these first episodes are definitely slow and finding their footing, teaching the viewers the game, and showing us the first glimpses of the characters. Trust me when I say almost EVERY character is important, and all of them are being set up right now for their individual arcs. So a lot of the things each of them say are important, without you guys even realising it right now. I’ve caught so many tiny sentences in these first few eps that mean SO much when you know where the show is going… I’m super excited for you guys to see where this goes! Keep trusting the process, I appreciate you guys! 🫶

GreetswithJudgement

I’m not a fan of watching this show but I’m giving it a shot because I didn’t give AOT a shot when I first watched it. When I ended up coming back to AOT (the all time GOAT) I hated myself for the longest because there was no good reason to hate it in the first place. It’s my favorite show of all time. So I’ll watch 90 episodes of wholesome shit. Why not. Maybe I’ll like it. But don’t give up on it and if you feel you have to give up on it, watch Castlevania instead. 😂

alexis ♡︎

AHAHAH same, i had a pretty young assistant coach during club when i was like 16 so he’d play with us all the time and he quite literally bounced it on like my forehead.. i think i literally fell to the floor

Junya

Bro McKay how is ur fav anime Naruto and u don’t like the talking in fights 😭

Josh

I think the fact that they enjoyed the 'moments' means they'll probably like the show, since the moments get much more frequent as it goes on

MissJodles

S3 was really where I couldn’t look away from my screen. Absolutely amazing stuff. Once the first few episodes go by and you get attached to the characters and understand their arcs , everything just pops off

A_Daddy Daichi

Omg nooo. I was a libero & I kind of sucked lol. Someone served & I just didn’t see it & got clocked in the face 😁

Izaya

The biggest problem with the average battle-shonen watcher is that they get numb to anything else. battle shonen is pretty much everything super dramatic and over the top with extremely exaggerated stakes like the fate of the world... Thats the problem with binging the biggest battle shonen out there as a beginner to anime. This show could use a little more good faith on you guy's part and as hard as it might be to Brigg and Mckay (this one is 150% corrupted by the battle shonen desease in my opinion. too far gone) It would do wonders to detach yourselves from the battle shonen mentality. If you judge every show is battle-shonen standards then you might as well never like anything else cause its not gonna fit. Though i know how it is. It took most of my teenage days to stop being a shonen rat and start really liking good anime instead of just battle-shonen

MissJodles

We will see the Geks character development into loving Haikyuu, I pray 🙏

Aleks T

Let it cook! Beginning episodes basically set the stage for the team itself. We learn about their personalities and what their strengths and weaknesses are. Plus, this show is really down to earth and realistic compared to action anime. It's not going to have them playing against the strongest team in the world by episode 12. It shows their training, hard work, and desire to become better. And the same goes for so many other teams and characters we get introduced to later on! To sum it up, give it a chance, and let's try not to be overly critical about a practice game that really isn't even a match, but more like a little dispute between the team. And again, it's a sports, slice of life, comedy anime. It's definitely a popular comfort show for so many people (including myself with season 2). So, take it as a show to relax to, not over-analyze. Thanks for anyone reading this far already and for listening to my yap session. But I hope they end up enjoying the watch. And if they don't end up liking it, that's okay as well, my only hope is that they aren't too critical with it when comparing it to other action or shounen!

yuna

I’m a seasoned anime fan and I agree it’s a yap session and it’s very redundant in the first season! especially in the beginning but it’s a really great show, I hope you guys stick with it!

MissJodles

Oh absolutely, they were definitely picking up on and enjoying the key moments, and had plenty to discuss at the end! So it only goes up from here :)

MissJodles

As a fellow Naruto AND Haikyuu lover, my personal message to McKay is it’s time to lock in for those emotional character arcs man!

James Moss

I have a tough time with this show because from up to when I dropped it, it’s literally just volleyball and nothing else. For me to engage with a sports show/movie I gotta know more about a characters personal life to actually get invested in their success. Haikyuu fans, do we get more insight into characters personal lives outside of volleyball? I dropped at like episode 14 or 15 I think.

MissJodles

I definitely think it’s gonna be hard for a group of 5 battle shounen/seinen lovers to adjust from Titan genocide and Viking wars to high school volleyball in a little Japanese town (except Jackson, his taste, open-mindedness and attention to detail always cooks 🔥). But I have hope that by the end of S1 the boys will be loving it! I can see the sparks in their eyes, the potential is there…

Sandi

I’m glad this was the highlight of your day.

botanbutton

I think y'all will come around. It's a slow cook for the first part of the season since it's laying groundwork, building characters, introducing volleyball, etc, etc. It makes sense to feel this way since ya'll have mostly been watching battle shounen and this is a legit sports shounen with slice of life elements that takes place in a normal Japanese high school in a homey community. It is far removed from JJK and MHA for sure, lol!

Diego Caballero

Sports Anime have to have dialogue or you would just be watching a sport on TV and they have to get it to Hinata because if they only have tanaka then they could just block Tanaka and not worry about Hinata which would stop Tanaka from spiking. .

I’m Tired

i will say this is the first time i've seen reactors actually pick up on the fact that hinata starts off as a one trick pony that doesnt really know how to do anything. A lot of people see his fast reflexes and the fact that he can do a quick and they think he's a good volleyball player but he's really not and has a lot of growing to do. The fact that these guys saw that will make it that much more impactful when he does get better and has his moments !!

Sandi

Just trust the process friends. Im not gonna lie, I had this as background noise for like the first 10 episodes and then I was like hold the fuck up… this is goated. Y’all will see.

Josh

Geez dude it's understandable for them to react this way, especially since from their perspective it's super dramatic without stakes that warrant it to be that dramatic Just give it a while for them to be sold on the characters, and then they'll feel the stakes

MissJodles

Depends what you’re really meaning by personal lives, but in a way yes! There’s plenty of slice-of-life moments intertwined with the matches. This is a super character-driven show, and the development and arcs for the characters don’t stop until the very end of the series (and manga). In fact, some the absolute best moments in the series haven’t even been animated yet, and a lot of those moments take place both in and out of matches. You get glimpses of personal moments here and there, but the majority of it is very much focused around volleyball or personal growth to do with the club. Hard to really say more without spoiling! But if your question is does this turn into a drama with more things happening outside of the court or the realm of volleyball, that’s not really the case. It’s volleyball as a medium that makes all these characters learn and grow as people.

Aleks T

Definitely! I just hope they don't bring that battle shounen narrative into why they might not like it. We have to remember the characters are just a bunch of teenagers on a volleyball team who wants to go to nationals, haha. But I really do hope they give it a chance without being overly critical on certain aspects (and as usual Jackson always cooks!) It's supposed to be a fun and enjoyable watch so let's hope they give it a shot :)

Brig Andrus

Bros been hating for over a year now and still can’t spell my name right 🫣😭

botanbutton

@Mysterious Figure So basically you're coming to stir the pot and troll since you didn't get the anime you wanted.....😐 I would never do this in the comments section of a show that I didn't want to watch. I would just let folks enjoy it and mind my business. Like, I can't stand all these damn isekai that win polls on some channels but I'mma keep my mouth shut and watch something else. Why get joy out of harassing people about things they love and waste your time? Come on fam, do better.

Brig Andrus

These comments making me NOT want to trust the process and NOT let the show cook 😂☠️

Fujiie

If you can watch through a whole season of Sakura only saying “Sasuke!” and “Narutoooo” you can watch these early parts 😭

chloe willmott

Jackson is straight cooking on this show, he knows how it goes and I love it

༒ dianna ༒

@Mysterious so you just wanna be annoying as fuck? Got it. I guess thats what happens when you don’t have a life. Dislike it in silence, you haven’t even watch it you have no room to trash it.

Sanji

Yeah this show is gonna be hella boring for you ngl It’s just gonna be your college tennis practice reskinned as volleyball anime HAHAHAH. It’s just brigs day in a life

bebe

It’s 4am I am sleeping am i supposed to continue sleeping or watch this?

Sanji

I’m sorry but kuroko is so buns. It’s not even fun unrealistic anime it’s just sucks. The story sucks and the powers suck. It’s just yaoi no cap. Bluelock is way better 🔥

Yuri

Just volleyball.. it’s ok, your thought is same as one character. Haikyu have many good background stories of characters in every season. You’re gonna like them! I also like knowing athletes or Olympian personal lives as what they are building up.

bebe

F i cant sleep now. Imma gonna watch this

bebe

ohh so many salty comments just trying to bash

bearuber

what are they even doing here cant they just go hang out in the comment sections of shows they watch

Ali

Oh fellow haters, don't cry because it happened, laugh because it'll be over. On a serious note, finding it quiet boring, a show about volleyball is just not it. Not been enjoying the characters either. I'll stop here but have a fun ride! I'm looking forward to Steins gate or koruko's basketball being picked one day!

bebe

bleach lost the poll. accept it my dude

Patriicia

one eternity later 💀🤣

bebe

anyway stay true to ur reactions my guys, we love to see it. btw since you guys are watching ahead, there are 2 eps that have end credits scenes. How many eps are u in tho? so that we keep u remind of these things

aubrey

praying the CONSTANT discourse in the comments doesn't affect the geks opinions of the show any worse than it already has. i cannot believe the childish ass mentality some people have that they feel the need to hate on a show in Every Single Reaction to it. i wasnt a fan of solo leveling but i fr cant fathom wasting my time in the comment section of all 12 reaction videos just cause i aint like it. sooooooooo dumb.

bebe

bro at least give it some more eps, these early eps are introducing the team so you might not get the hype. but then it is ur choice. you do you

naopou

I agree 1000000%, just like with any slowburn the peaks hit different!

Artemipsyche

How long do I keep this in the slow cooker?

bebe

"I am excited to watch it, I don't know why I am excited to watch this" lmao carter

Stairguy

I'm not sweatin it. It is slow until the team is actually together. Just a lot of early character development. But once the team is Actually together...... Straight fire.

Mitch

It’s not gonna be any of y’all goats but I do think you will all enjoy the show a lot

Sanji

I think most of the geks won’t enjoy this show. The point of the show is to learn about the characters and their motivations which is like hella boring from the pov of a guy. Imo they care about an interesting story or having cool fights and haikyuu isn’t about that. I don’t think they’ll like it the more they watch.

Mysterious Figure

@Bottanbutton, @Diana if you guys actually go up and read my first post, you would realize everything I have said up till now was completely valid, proper, cordial. My own thoughts, likes, and preference. You guys coming here and entertaining me this much just because you simply enjoying Haikyu isnt enough for you?! You have to exchange your ideas about it with me TOO?! Meanwhile, you also keep telling me what to do with my life, what kind of person I am, you throw vulgar words at me. Do keep on telling me more about yourselves. It also seems like ppl are enjoying this content so much too since they keep coming back for these comments? 🤣 I only wrote ONE comment at the start. I wouldn't type anything else if ppl didnt respond after that. I said it many times that ppl are doing it to themselves but it still doesnt sink in. Next time you see my comment, just walk away... just like that. OK?

~Mercedeez Lee~

That’s the great thing about shows like Haikyuu which takes character development seriously. Also there’s actually quite a few people and reactors who know, coach and play volleyball that see Hinata as a novice at volleyball ( cause that’s the point of his beginning/origin ) but straight away talk or point out how there’s so much room for him to improve and with his freakishly athletic abilities, they see potential in him. Even in these beginning episodes

Kesendo

I'm not going to take your comment serious because idk why tf you would ever call it yaoi 😂😂 Also you are disrespecting Haikyuu aswell since it copied plenty of kuroko's plots.

Sanji

I started really enjoying it when the tourney starts (I think episode 16). If ur not intrigued by episode 12 then drop it imo 👍 But you gotta view this like Forrest Gump and not GoT iykwim.

KatyRose

Holy some of the comments are crazy 😂😂. Haikyuu is really good 🤷‍♀️

~Mercedeez Lee~

It’s only the second upload of episodes and this comment section is already turning out like Naruto’s one 💀 Too many haters and antis here that have ‘ a big mouth’. This is probably the next big anime that’s going to definitely bring in more viewers ( especially once the reactions go up on YouTube ) for the guys but some of the ones that are here are killing the vibes big time. It’s doesn’t hurt to not be so salty and negative all the time. Take a chill pill

bondbond53

Who saw the Japan vs Italy Olympics match? It was brutal man seeing Japan win the first 2 sets and then still lose in the end. Seeing Ran Takahashi, Yuji Ishikawa and everyone else cry their eyes out was so sad man. Here hoping for better results in the future

bebe

that toss and spike of the duo, the japanese national vb team members try to play it out in real life and after 20 mins of practicing, they were able to do it just like in the anime.

i did, it was so saddddd but they played so well

PinoyAkoPH

I wouldn’t listen to them. They’re people who’ve never actually seen the series or gotten past a handful of episodes. Haikyuu is beloved even for non-sports fans for a reason: because it’s a character-based story not just all about fighting villains. Hopefully the overall storyline will resonate with you guys!

bebe

lmao if u even havnt watch it, idgaf about ur opinion

2024-08-06 04:18:14 I can't wait to get off if work and watch this. Reading the comments seems like the gek boys are still not feeling Haikyuu and I think that is fine. We have different tastes anyway, and we are just 4 episodes in. I also watched Haikyuu not.knowing anything and almost thinking I wouldn't like it because I am not a sports girlie, sucked at it and my memories of vb is very limited to my PE classes that I dreaded especially when I was asked to serve the ball (I cant even get it over the net 🥲)... but this show have turned the tables for me. I didn't know I'd care about VB and enjoy it as much as I do now, just a watcher though. Maybe the geks will love it soon and maybe they wont but I hope they finish this series (since it won the voting) I'd be sad if they'd drop it. Please tell me they dont drop shows that have won polls.

vee

if you're not going to watch, why would you come here and cry? this won the poll so there's obviously a majority out there who wants them to watch it.

bebe

Okay, imma back to sleep, thanks gek for making me wake up at 4 am to watch this lol can't wait to see the great king yall.

bebe

well they are watching naruto when not all of them are enjoying it. But then they havent even watched the tournaments yet. They need to feel the hype

bebe

nah you must be the 16 yo who has no life and is mad because some boys in other part of the world is watching an anime you dont enjoy. get a life

bebe

and you talking a fan using "meatrider" is just showing how much of a trash you are anyway

leah

gonna try my best to say my piece without spoiling anything but i’m hearing the main concern is too much context and bad pacing and i fear that never goes away. especially the pacing with the matches. i dropped haikyuu roughly halfway through season 2 because first of all i just don’t really care abt volleyball but mainly, a match can last like half a season sometimes and it was just too much for me as someone who simply just does not care about volleyball LMAO. i absolutely ADORE the characters which is why i stuck it out as long as i did and it does have some great moments like cannon was saying… all the mini flashbacks/callbacks to earlier scenes etc. are really great! but sometimes there’s too much info that’s not really necessary. if you’re looking for a straight to the point, extremely intriguing story, fun character sports anime, i’d recommend blue lock more-so than haikyuu! haikyuu to me is more something you put on in the background while ur doing chores (bc the dub isn’t bad tbh), not something you sit and discuss at length with ur buds… just my opinion! don’t get mad! LOL

Richie Sour

These comments are crazy lmao I’ve never had any interest in this show but I’m willing to give it a chance and I’m actually excited to watch it along with them… you can’t judge a show by 4 episodes

Pavlo

Second half of szn 1 is when i started gaf-ing 🙏🔥

bebe

4 out of 90 is just the start tho. these cmmts are just salty cause the animes they like didnt win the poll

Richie Sour

1 match for half a season doesn’t sound super appealing to me 😬 but we’ll see

bebe

as someone who enjoys sports anime as it is, i believe ur taste have to be mainly battle/action type to enjoy BL more than haikyu, Cause the ego talk and special moves in the BL irks me. well to each their own ig

leah

it’s not a bad show by any means, PLEASE don’t think i’m trashing it. but i do think they’re all right about how bad the pacing is within the first few episodes and simply put, that doesn’t ever change.

Phoenix

To answer Brig's question about how tall LeBron was at that age, he was also 188cm or 6'2. My best friend who is now 6'7 or so was also about that height at that age. Tsukishima is definitely head and shoulders above average.

Bingsu

When you started watching the first two episode, i tried my best to watch it as well. I have no idea what to expect and I'm not into sports anime, tbh. It's so obvious on my picture, right? Now I'm on my season 3 haha! Glad I watched the first 2 episodes with you, guys. Just enjoy the show. It will slowly grow on everyone, i hope. Really enjoy the duo, the songs, the scenery, plot and scenery. :>>

vee

the way you are being salty af in the comments makes me believe you are no older than 13 so I wouldn't even bother replying to you after this. "It's a slice of life anime - it has to be shitty", lmao yeah tell me you have the emotional intelligence of a 10 yo without telling me.

bebe

@leah oh no just like u stating ur opinion, i am stating how i feel about BL, i even went to read the manga when it first airs but nah i got bored at lik 80 chps

leah

i watch all genres of anime including sports anime! i love what i watched of haikyuu but i’ve been saying since it won the poll that i just don’t think the geks are gonna like it as much as their subscribers do! i’ve been subbed to them for over a year at this point and i feel like i have a decent idea of their tastes and this just isn’t something i think is gonna hit for them like it does for most. it’s not a bad show at all, though the pacing is arguably worse than one piece 😭 (im capping but like…….) again tho, i’m down for any genre of anime besides the freaky shit…

bebe

what u already onto s3? wow man glad u enjoy it

bebe

you never know girl, i enjoy bleach, naruto, opm, mob, or any other action type but haikyu is my number one anime. It can be for some of the boys too. and its only 4 eps. you cant say for sure that the boys wont enjoy it as much, cause that's just ur opinion on them. and you keep talking about bad pacing lmao worse than op? you must be kidding. haikyu dont have bad pacing, it's called enjoying the development and story. bad pacing is sth else. dont mix them up

~Mercedeez Lee~

Tsukki, Hinata, Kageyama and Yamaguchi are all first years of high school. They’re 14-15 year olds, so yes Tsukki is very tall for his age. Also it does take quite a lot of practice to be able to dig ( or ‘receive’ as they say in the show ) the ball up above the setters head perfectly. Hinata is a novice, so it makes sense why he’s struggling to dig the ball. Honestly it took me a couple of months to be able to pull it off when I first started playing in high school. Also it hurt like a bitch too on my arms the first 2 or so months and took some time to get use to

vee

yess, I can't wait for you guys to meet the guy in my pfp lol. The character development in this anime is one of the best out there.

bebe

anyway try to win the poll, dont be a sore loser. have a life and try to be better

leah

i’m not trying to argue, i’m just giving my opinion! you don’t have to agree and that’s okay! i’m definitely still gonna watch it with them as long as they wanna watch it! i do think they should trust the process for sure… but it’s definitely a slow burn and the pacing of the volleyball matches doesn’t really help that. in my opinion, i just find it unnecessary for one match to span longer than like 5 episodes let alone half a season. a lot of the stuff they go over in the matches could be done in 2-5 episodes. you don’t have to agree with that and that’s okay but they were already talking about how they were iffy on the pacing so i’m just saying i’m in agreement :)

bebe

@cagnazzo well they didnt win so, it's all fair and square

bebe

i am pretty sure they have lol cant wait to see their reaction

bebe

oh please leah i am not saying bad about ur opinion on the anime, I am just saying dont put ur opinion how the boys will like it or not because they are not you. let them enjoy and see it for themselves. one match to span longer than 5 episodes? omg please there are so many animes who would use 5-10 episodes to fight one enemy and you dont find fault with that but you would say bad about haikyu? well obv it's only 4eps. they can be iffy about it idc. they are open about the anime so stop pushing your thoughts onto them.

bebe

i mean they havent even uploaded to youtube yet but this vid is getting as many likes as other big shows. imagine the haikyu community coming in once they upload it on youtube.

leah

i’m not pushing my thoughts on to them, the comment sections of all their videos are open for anyone to give their opinions and to have friendly discussions and this is mine. i also never said i don’t have fault in fights that span multiple episodes because i definitely do LOL! i’ve been stuck on the skypiea arc of one piece for MONTHS because the fights are so obnoxiously long, sometimes spanning 15+ episodes. i just think if they’re already having issues with the pacing and the pacing doesn’t really change all that much, this MAY not be the show for them. like i said, not trying to argue or “push my thoughts” onto anyone but everyone is open to their opinions! i’m also sensing haikyuu is one of your favs, if not your fav which is great! but you do have to understand that just because it’s YOUR favorite, doesn’t mean EVERYONE is going to like it. 👍 all that being said, i am a huge fan of these characters and i genuinely do hope that they stick out this show!!

O

anime fans hate anime in a nutshell

bebe

but then why would you say pacing is worse than OP? lmao no anime can be worse than OP pacing, that's just nah. i guess the pacing for u and me if different cause haikyu doesnt have a bad pacing. I already said, idc what they think about this anime, bad or good, i am down for any reaction. I have been seeing your cmmts since the polls, stating the boys might not enjoy it as much. I mean that's ur opinion and statement. that doesnt mean the boys wont enjoy it. I am not saying the boys will for sure enjoy it either. So let just keep ur opinion on how the boys will be about this anime to urself.

leah

nah i’m not keeping any opinion to myself but thank you! 🙏 also i said it’s ARGUABLY worse than one piece and then i said how i was capping because obviously i know it’s not THAT bad LOL but again, i just don’t think one match should span longer than like 5 episodes MAX. but that’s just me! you definitely don’t have to agree with anything im saying but don’t tell others to keep their opinions to themselves especially when i’ve been entirely respectful! goodnight!

Nash

Since he’s actually my fav character I reallyyyy wanna know what they think of him. Especially bc a lot of reactors don’t like him LMAOO

Nash

Some of these comments are soo weird. Anyway did ya’ll know that Tsukishima is voiced by Inumaki’s VA?

neko

what a way to generalize 'battle shounen' watchers when haikyuu itself is a battle shounen, there're always haters for any kind of shows but you are just doing the same thing like them here. You should know better.

Grace

I fw Haikyu heavy 🔥🔥 let it cook

Bingsu

Yes, and i spoiled myself as well HAHAHAHA. I know what will happen, but I don't know the details. I also love oikawa but my loyalty is on team karasuno, ehem (hinata and kaguyama ftw) plus the members. 😭🎉

Nash

Sameee. Like I started getting so invested by episode 14-15

Kna

excited that YOU'RE excited! can't wait for you to love this!

y

even though im now used to it, ive never liked flashbacks unless its a backstory. other than that, im ok with this show, and i dont think i can say much with only 4 episodes, so we'll see!

Mei Nano

Everytime I see Hinata jumping it just give me chills ngl... Tsukki was over the top with his cockiness on the first season I completely forgot about it...but trust the process guys let the show cook

gigi

he's also the voice of Meruem from HxH!

Nash

Yeah they’re just 4 episodes in. Plus the early episodes are basically just character introductions but the second half of the season is where it REALLY starts imo.

~Mercedeez Lee~

I forgot to point out in my last comment but this isn’t even an official practice match, just a 3 on 3 one to see how the first years are and what skill levels they have. Like what Daichi and that said in last episode ( ep2 ), they wanna see what the first years are made of & how they’ll fit into the team. So there is going to be a lot of stopping and dialogue in between plays but it’s only these first couple of episodes. Once they get into the more serious matches against other schools and once the introductions of main cast are done, is when the talking becomes less and less on court. Just gotta give it time and let the show build up first, otherwise the story would have the typical plot holes that other shonen series suffer from

gigi

I just want to see your genuine reactions, don't mind the hate comments. (they have trash opinions anyways)

Nash

Some of these comments telling the geks to drop it just cuz they aren’t feeling it. Like c’mon they’re only 4 episodes in. Let it cook. I really do think they’ll start enjoying it once the tournament starts.

gigi

yess!! fr!! he also voices Soul from Soul Eater!

ssj4rit

190 cm is def tall for a 15 year old lol. Kids still grow until they’re 18, sometimes older.

Enma

I’m so confused, so when do these guys start doing haikus? They’ve just been playing volleyball so far 🫤

bebe

omg ahaha YES i love all the other teams too but karasuno ftw for sure esp our duo ❤️

Clair de Lune

I can't tell if you're joking or not, but haikyu means volleyball, a haiku is a poem 😂

tomiwa toriola

whats the schedule like for haikyuu

Enma

I’m just trolling 🤣 I thought I would add a dumb joke since most of the comments are a bit serious.

Rawdota

dude the show sucks and is overrated by people who saw it 10 years ago when they were 12 years old. nostalgia and rose tinted glasses are making yall overrate and overhype the show and generally ruin the patreon. 4 episodes is enough to know if you like or don't like a show. they should drop it and go to the poll's 2nd choice. in my opinion.

GBuckets

Yall gotta watch kuroko no basketball at some point. It’s more your speed

Pavlo

I think they said twice a week, 2 ep each time

Trandon

Japanese high schools only have 3 years so first years are actually 15-16 but yea still very tall.

Blake

Brig woke up and chose violence against haikyuu 😂

Albin Limani

That is just wrong in every level. I watched it first 8 years ago and I have rewatched it nearly every year. I am rewatching it with my little brother now and it is still as good as it was when I watched it first.

Zoe

I actually went to see it in person - was complete emotional whiplash lmao

Kayla Grabow

once the introductions are done the show picks up and you get actual matches I think you'll enjoy it more

Nico

Guys, its a 3v3 PRACTICE match. Its not even an OFFICIAL PRACTICE match. Let them talk and be annoying to each other LMAO. First season, especially the first cour is a bit slow cuz things are being set up, but the pay back is worth it. Also hating any character in this series is funny to me because everyone is very likeable once you get to know them better and see their developments but thats everyones first experience with the series so LMAO. We shall see.

DCMH

The writing during this beginning portion is actually compelling. Great moments but still not enough to excite people who are used to more action. Shows finna go crazy mid season 2 tho

DCMH

Why does it suck though? I wanna hear your reasoning

Albin Limani

The reason they didn't just set to Tanaka is because they need Hinata and Kageyama to learn how to work together. If they just set to Tanaka so he can carry, then they will not get better. And this is a practice match, the objective is to try new things and get better.

Albin Limani

And yes, the matches will not be like this at all. The first few episodes are just character introductions and the team coming together. As soon as the tournaments start, then it's nonstop action.

Albin Limani

But the pacing does change though. Like, that is a fact. Without spoiling, the midway point of season 1, when a match against a certain rival team is over is when the pacing changes. And I actually love that the pacing between practice and matches is so different, because that is how it works in real-life as well. And Haikyu! is the most realistic of any sports anime out there, maybe except Slam Dunk. It is the best at showcasing team atmosphere, training, mentality, dealing with losing, differences in skill, geniuses vs hard-working people etc. Blue Lock is good, but as a big football fan, it makes me angry. People just screaming, suddenly getting powerups in the middle of a game and all that is extremely annoying. I like the show for what it is, but as a sports anime it has nothing to do with how actual sports work. You can actually see how and why the players in Haikyu! evolve, how they learned new things and it is extremely rewarding seeing them go through so much training and then using that in matches. And the only matches that span more than 5 episodes are one in season 3 and one in season 4. Since you dropped it midway though season 2, you haven't seen a single match go more than 5. All matches end in 1-3 episodes, with the exception of the final match in season 1 which is 5 episodes. It is ok to not like it, I know it is not for everyone, but the things you are saying are just objectively incorrect.

Albin Limani

And I mean no offense by this, but it is extremely funny the the two guys not feeling it are Naruto lovers(I am too), which has historically abysmal pacing.

AlucardIV

I come from a long line of complainers but I don't know what it's with this show, everyone around me may be grumbling about one thing or another and I'm like yay the first "HINATA BOKE!!!". Now as it's already been mentioned Tsukishima "Tsukki" Kei is voiced by the same VA as JJK's Inumaki but if you can't tell because of his limited vocabulary consisted of only rice ball ingredients, he's also HxH's Meruem and Demon Slayer's Rui as well as the main character of every other modern romance anime you will probably never watch. Yamaguchi, you will not recognise him from anything I know Studio Gek to have watched so far but who you can recognise is Ennoshita, the black haired kid standing next to Suga. He's voiced by AOT's Porco Galliard.

~Mercedeez Lee~

This is exactly it, I don’t know about others experiences but normally little matches like this WITHIN the team are just for the coaches ( since Karasuno doesn’t have a coach at the moment, this role falls on the captain and other older/more experienced players ) to get a feel of how the new players are like and where they would fit in the team. So logically there should be a lot of stopping play and communicating to work out the roles, positions and areas that need working on. Either as a set with 3 or more players to pull off certain moves and formations or a duo that works well together or an individual who can hold a space down by themselves depending on the sport. This is what helps build teamwork and trust as well, which is very crucial in team sports. Haikyuu is one of the rare few sports anime that nailed this perfectly. This is very basic knowledge for those who play sports on a competitive level and they should be able to pick up on it from these episodes on what the story is trying to get at but Haikyuu also conveyed the importance of this match in a way for those who know nothing about sports, get a vague understanding as well

long ass username

It’s always hilarious to witness fans of something go full meltdown mode whenever someone dislikes whatever their a fan of. Like relax, them not enjoying the show doesn’t take away from your enjoyment so just move on.

Rasmus Kjær Poulsen

There will be times where the matches get annoyingly slow with the talking and the flashbacks etc. Some points in the show I legit abused my right arrow key on the keyboard or did something else on my pc. But its worth it, when you see the actual good matches.

𝓓𝓪𝓷𝓪

Yeah we totally understand the frustration about the pacing because the first half of s1 is like that. I've said it before and will say it again the beginning is def slow to introduce you to every character, their flaws, their advantages, their growth and the whole volleyball atmosphere,so it's alright. And to answer Carter's question, well it's not a question but like feedback, the matches are NOT like this, at ALL. So hopefully you guys enjoy this little slow arc to get to know all of the players, their personalities to actually see later how the devoloped

Patriicia

if you yourself dont enjoy a show geks are watching just dont waste your time commenting and disliking the show, hoping geks would drop it. What is the point of it? Just let them watch, make their own opinions about the show. Nobody is forcing you to watch the show with them 😊

yio

Bro really said blue lock is better than kuroko 💀 sometimes I forget how delusional anime fans are

Leely

What geeks should know is that NOT ALL matches are like this, so frustrating to see hateful comments. Just let Haikyuu community enjoy the reaction. No one is forcing you to watch it with geeks. Once all the characters and their abilities are introduced it becomes so fun.

Daniel

Subjective opinion, i could say the same about people who enjoy naruto.

Nash

Can literally say the same for the poll’s second choice too

Liptrouski

It's a slow cook, but it does cook. The matches with the other schools and the character development is unmatched. Trust the process Brig

BubblePriest

It's part of the process. Even in my annual rewatching, I want to skip some of these episodes, BUT it's part of the process. Some awesome characters are gonna show up.

yio

"Oh fellow haters" 💀 You've watched 4 episodes and you're expecting to see some sukuna vs mahoraga type shit like be so fr rn and you even mentioned kuroko no basket which follows a similar formula to haikyuu 😭 Either give the show a chance or stay hating and watch how all 5 geks will be donning karasuno jerseys by the end of the show

yio

He really didn't. He's giving it a chance

SirCatelot

Shonen brainrot is really showing up in the comments holyshit. Don't like it? Dont watch it. I don't like Naruto, but I don't go shitting on it

yio

Personally I enjoyed haikyuu from episode 1 and didn't think it was slow at all (this is coming from someone who's attention span has been cooked by Instagram reels) but over the years I've heard people say it was slow for them so I get where you guys are coming from. Other comments have made good points about how you're used to high frequency action so slice of life is somewhat new for you. Episode 131 of hxh wouldn't have hit so hard without all that build up, and trust me haikyuu is the same. Once you get invested in these characters the later episodes will play on your emotions like you can't imagine. I often find myself going back to watch certain episodes in season 4 just to have a good cry 😭 All 5 geks will be in karasuno jerseys by the end of this show, mark my words 🗣️

Süm

Yeah, I agree. For me, Haikyuu is so good because it takes time to develop the characters. That's also what makes the later seasons great. I understand when people say they don't like s1 that much but without s1's writing the later seasons would definitely not be that good.

Nash

I think he replied to a comment saying the show’s kinda growing on him.

Ayaulym🇰🇿

People are mad in the comments and I’m just glad we got a new upload 🫶 I have no doubts about the quality of it at least after the tournaments start. And my beliefs were strengthened after I watched the new Haikyuu movie in cinema. I am just so HAPPY that I can rewatch it with you. Don’t pay attention to any hate/critique. It’s okay if you don’t like for now. Justice for Brig, he doesn’t deserve the some slander I’ve seen. None of the geks do

bebe

I prefer to see them growing and falling in love with the characters more rather than fake loving it in first eps.

Uros Vesic

I prefer when ppl say they don't like something, then to fake like it. Some parts are really slow, but it is highly regarded anime for a reason.

Tim Carpenter

I remember feeling similarly to you guys at this point in the show. I kept watching because of all the great things I've heard. I have a real interest in 6v6 volleyball now (I'm 39 and never cared before) because of how great this anime is. I would say if you all feel the same by the end of S1, that's a good time to reevaluate. As a huge Haikyu fan though, I sincerely hope you find the same love for it I did soon.

Henarivan Andhika

i mean i chat all the time and pausing by joking so much with my buds playing football, and again this is anime so of course they exaggerate a little bit to get the context out (not a fan of too much flashbacks tho) for a slice a life with a sport theme, its pacing is decent imo.

Sami Casingal

If you dislike it so much and think 4 eps is enough to tell, why don’t you go on your merry way and leave the comment section alone because you seem to clearly not want anything to do with it or care about it yet you are doing the opposite of that. Also thanks for being negative just because you don’t like. Oh and just like someone else said in the comments, if it’s 4 eps out of several seasons, that’s obviously still the beginning. What makes you think 4 is enough when it’s a lot of eps total? If you don’t want to waste your time watching something you have decided you won’t like ever, why are you wasting time commenting? It’s not so much a problem that you don’t like it, but you don’t even give the slightest bit of chance to it and label it as something that wouldn’t change in your eyes. I could go on and on, but I hope you get the point

Kesendo

@bebe If you had watched kuroko you would understand what I mean lol

Balzhan

Haikyuu is very different from what you have watched before and nevertheless it’s really good. I love it because it’s so light and you can relax and enjoy it while watching. I feel like many people expect some crazy plot twists from this anime but it’s more like slice of life. You will laugh a lot, go through different emotions with characters and see them grow. I think that what makes this anime so good. Very excited for your reactions🤗

Falko

I'm glad you are stating your honest opinions and don't glaze everything out of fear from the fans. Makes it way more satisfying if you end up liking the show. And if not, it is what it is.

Mia Malvik

It took me like 10 episodes to find this show even slightly interesting so no stress 🙂‍↕️

Luna Meow

Guys the whole point of this ep is for Kag's and Hinata to learn to work together. To truly become teammate, not just to win a game. yes just serving to Tanka would win it. But zero growth other then winning a game. Both players would have learned nothing.

Kreis

I'm a bit late, but ntl I agree with @Shadow's first comment what he wrote in the first reaction upload. I'm excited to see what this anime has to offer and I really hope that after all the chaos that has happened and the haters, it will be worth it💪 I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to shows, so I'm excited to see what I'll think of the anime in 10 episodes cause I currently have the same opinion as our boys. I liked the first 4 episodes, but I still can't understand or see why the anime should be as good as most people here say! 👀 Despite that I'm already looking forward to the next episodes!

Mitch

Kanki = greatest character in fiction Edit: Actaully just realized he was a real person who was recorded in history so he’s even more goated

Sanji

Nah I watched the whole show it’s goated. Its just not a type of show that has a mass appeal like shounen does 👍 Imo there’s a reason this shows demographic is majority girls because it’s hard for guys to get emotionally invested into the character-based storyline rather than a high stakes action storyline

Jenpi

I finally watched the reaction. I really love whenever Hinata jumps. / me as a kageyama girlie :))

Sanji

Nah I think some of them will never like it which is okay. I rather them give genuine reactions than fake loving it 👍 It’ll be cool to see the contrasts of their opinions

Hechy

its ironically funny that the naruto simps in brig and mckay are the most critical of this match.

RapidStar

its worse but they have powers so maybe the talking in the middle of the match wouldnt matter then

Sasha

Why Jack sounds like a little girl at the start. No harm intended.

dotsae 🇧🇷

I think that all the hype that has been placed on Haikyuu has made you guys perhaps have a wrong view of the anime, thinking that all times the anime will be a masterpiece, but it is these small details, the dialogues that make epic scenes become epic, don't get frustrated, things will get better, but calm down a little, the anime needs that time in the beginning

༒ dianna ༒

I loved Kageyama the second I saw him and never stopped doing that. Tsukki though 💀💀💀💀

dotsae 🇧🇷

It will drop another ep this week? anyone know?

༒ dianna ༒

@Rawdota I literally watched this months ago and its in my top 3 what are you talking about?

༒ dianna ༒

@Leah half a season on a single match its actually incorrect/inaccurate that doesn’t happen given most seasons are 24 ep long. Except for season 3. It makes no sense to get a fast match without the context and the team work that was built during the match. I also don’t understand how your opinion is to watch Blue Lock instead when there is Isagi and his extensive inner dialogue in every play he does. I love blue lock but its kinda the same.

Sasha

McKay and Brig being top two Naruto glazers have no right to say this is unbearable🙏

Nash

This is random but I need to see your reaction to episode 7 so bad ☠️

naopou

fr if you put the entire time of both episodes together its probably less than the time you spend watching the swing in Narutoo 😂😂😂

naopou

Basically, it's a swing hanging from a tree and very meaningful to Naruto's childhood so every time any sad moment happens, there will be a flashback of the empty swing... this happens pretty often and lasts way too long lol.

Nash

Nah fr. I’ve seen that swing more than I’ve seen my parents bruh 😭😭😭

Nash

Never hated Tsukki. I thought he was kinda funny. Maybe bc I’m literally friends with guys like that 😭😭😭

Kd

Did my mans say lebron was 4’8 at 15🗿

This comment is a little bit too much, we want them to react not to lie and say they like everything we suggest. They are both open to the show and wanting to see more.

Aldin405

kageyamas voice actor did genos from opm, thats why he sounds familiar

Riley

“Aren’t they in a game right now? Why are they yapping?” says the Naruto die-hards. I could have learned a new language during all the sidetalk during Naruto’s fights

Kd

Just let the show cook fam ts gone cook up 😂

Patriicia

I think the slow-ish pacing is just needed. It has to build up somehow. We cant get everything in first few episodes you know. The relationship of Kageyama and Hinata is starting to change. It just has to start somewhere. I hope you will enjoy it more later in the show :)

Sasha

Just the start of the video. I just meant like when Jack's voice is usually so low so I was surprised by the high voice.

Ayaulym🇰🇿

My GOAT is in your profile pic. I know it's still a LONG time until we meet him but damn I just can't wait to see their reaction to the moment when he does that cool thing yk

Ale

Random but I love your shirt, Carter!!

Mia Malvik

Omg hell yes, it's funny you say this when you have Gerard Way in your pfp and he's like the love of my life 😭 Good taste 🤝🏼

Ayaulym🇰🇿

Yeah, Gerard is like the hottest man to exist😩 It’s always great to meet someone with refined taste🤝

bebe

could say the same to people who are hating in the comments when the fans are enjoying the uploads

bebe

well they said 2 eps 2 times a week so i guess yes?

bebe

OKAY time for rewatch after work

Michael

"super dramatic" "over the top" "exaggerated stakes like the fate of the world" bro literally described Haikyu. It's a good show but get off your high horse 😂

Kesendo

Lol, it wasn’t a long time ago that I learned Sei Kyou was actually based on a real person and was potentially a traitor to Qin historically. Many Chinese scholars take that stance. However, since there isn't any evidence of him being one, the author didn’t go with that narrative and made him loyal to Qin instead

y

i forgot to comment this, but u were right about the goated voice cast! i always try not to be bias, but my favorite characters end it up being the ones voiced by my fav voice actors lol

Kharmic

Briggs is NOT impressed lmfao

bondbond53

The captain, Daichi, is voiced by Rengoku's VA! On a separate note I just realised the same VA voices such an unexpected character in Naruto Shippuden. How did I not hear it, it's throwing me for a loop lol

bondbond53

Tanaka's VA voices Olmar from Vinland Saga and Ino from JJK Tsuki's (blond glasses guy) VA is Meruem from HxH, Inumaki from JJK and Rui from Demon Slayer Suga's (white-haired guy) VA is Shouya from 'A Silent Voice' and Haku from 'Spirited Away'

Sanji

Code geass or got drop would be heavenly tonight 🙏

FURsona

I get it though, I feel like haikyuu is for people who really love character development and relationships. Whilst these guys are more into story peaks and writing which I think isnt the main strength of haikyuu

Sanji

Idk about the anime but the Bluelock manga is wayyyy better than kurokos

Sanji

What plot point bro. They are both sports shows. The storyline of barely winning a tournament?

Bella Putri

Lol I think they're so used with overly dramatic, battle to death shounen anime trope moments that wholesome anime is not really interesting to them. I can already see it a mile away which is why I voted for Mob even though Haikyuu is literally my number 1 favorite anime. I personally wouldn't watch the reaction now and waiting for their reaction up until episode 12, just in case they're going to drop the anime to prevent me ended up feeling disappointed hahaha Still staying with Geks for Naruto tho lol

Bella Putri

I think the writing for Haikyuu is pretty great, it's really hard to make volleyball story relatable for non-volleyball player

~Mercedeez Lee~

If they can get through 100+ episodes of Naruto, I’m sure they’ll do fine with Haikyuu’s 90+ episodes. Also unlike Naruto, Haikyuu doesn’t suffer from majority of the typical Shōnen tropes. I mean let’s be honest, their reactions to Naruto have not always been positive, really mixed emotions a lot of the time and that made the reactions so much more interesting in my opinion

Nash

Idk about y’all but I really do think they’ll like it once the tournament starts. This is literally just episode 4 😭

Bella Putri

@mercedeez Well hopefully, cause at least with Naruto, it’s literally up their alley, when it comes to action in the future shippuden. But with volleyball, idk, not really optimistic cause from what I see, Brig who’s an athlete himself, doesn’t seem to enjoy it 😂

Bella Putri

@Nash Hopefully 😭 cause I personally already hooked by Haikyuu since episode 1 so I’m quite skeptical about them liking this show 🥲

~Mercedeez Lee~

Brig not enjoying a series ( which isn’t uncommon), doesn’t really bother me at all. Anyways we still in the early stages of Haikyuu and everyone who’s made it half way through s1 knows how much it picks up big time. Gotta let the introduction stage roll out first before we get into the thick of things. Season 4 is my favourite for many reasons, Haikyuu gets better and better each new season. Even the new movie was fantastic ( won’t say title or anything related to it due to spoilers ). They are trying something different but that’s an experience most anime watchers/fans go through. Many fans who start off with Battle Shōnen are always like this, always skeptical of different genres, especially those who dive into Shojo anime next. Same response but as they dive deeper into a genre of anime, they start to see and understand why people love it. Remember two of them were anime haters in general to begin with and look how far they’ve come

FURsona

No I think haikyuus got amazing writing, but I think more so they're looking for something more extravagant with plot twists and crazy moments

Bella Putri

Yeah I think they’re looking for those unpredictable moments, where Haikyuu is literally whether the team will win or not hahaha

MissJodles

On the bright side of Haikyuu reactions, defo think the Geks should put these ones on YouTube soon, this is the type of show to definitely reel in a lot of new viewers! And if they’re wanting to keep up doing the channel full time, would be good to have a boost to their viewership and subscribers :) I hope this series helps boost them!

Yuri

I didn’t feel like his voice was so high. I’m just happy he was hyped for Haikyu!👍🏻🏐

Brandon Bryant

You guys are too used to shonen anime we need to expand your watching experience just try not to over analyze and just enjoy the journey. They do a great job at highlighting every character not just hinata. That’s one of the best parts of this show

questta

My experience is, if you could make through the first 10 episodes, you would be totally hyped after this. :) It's also an epic anime like AOT, only their types are different. It hits you in a different way and is very relatable, expecially to the people, who have experience playing sports. Haikyuu is actually the top of the sport anime, in my opinion. I totally understand why you said it's slow for the first few episodes, ma family had also complained about that lol. Haikyuu just needs some time to build up the characters like every shonen anime. But if you live through the beginning, you won't regret it. Fun fact: the olympics in Paris now also played Haikyu's theme song sometimes when Japan played. As a Haikyuu fan, totally hyped!

Secretly

For the height thing you should google Japan average height hahaha. Some of the best players on the japanese national team are only 6"2 !

Secretly

In other sports like Soccer or Basketball, players are allowed to do solo plays. You can Iso in basketball and dribble in soccer, even in football a rb could potentially cook up a solo play. But volleyball is one of the only sport where you can almost never truly play by yourself, that's where the quote comes from.

Patriicia

Gimme more Haikyuu 😢🤣

Secretly

Yeah the first few eps they're building the characters, once we get into tournaments there won't be any of that.

Sasha

I have no idea why people take my comment so seriously.

Süm

I think Sekita is only 5"7 and he is one of the best setters

bebe

fr the uploads on youtube gonna bring the whole community in

Nash

I just want episode 7 bc I wanna know what they think of you know who ☠️

questta

By the way, I saw someone in comments said that there will be 2 times a week, 2 episodes each time for Haikyu, does that mean 4 episode of Haikyu every week? It's more than any other anime, so I just want to make sure that it's not wrong information or I didn't misunderstand it. XD

studiogek

Eps 5-6 coming later today👀

bebe

OMG YESSSSSSS even if u post at 4 am like this one, i will get up and watch it lmaooo

Bingsu

I'm done watching it all. I just need to know where I can watch the Movie T_T

Saram Shaikh

I didn’t sleep last night when I saw you uploaded eps 3-4 so I will definitely stay up for eps 5-6 🤩

Andrea Hernandez

I don't understand, SnK is an anime where the context is super important, beyond the battles and the Titans; and they are not keeping up with this series????!?!!!!! What?!!!!! Naruto fried their brains or what?! I feel like my membership is a waste XD

~Mercedeez Lee~

Yes 4 episodes weekly, the same amount of drops as Naruto, only difference is that they’re splitting them. 2 one day and another 2 on another day in the week

Lydia

@Diana you are genuinely hilarious 😂😂

lola

We need that back to back Haikyu/GOT combo let’s goooooo

bebe

@ke sendo i have watched knb and i still stand by the fact that haikyu is better

bebe

you gonna have to wait for the digital release or just go read the manga.

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

Just a couple things: I can see how you guys find this part of the show slow, it kinda is. However, you must understand (and I think yall do), that they can't just introduce 8 characters/the whole team all at once and throw them into intense games when we haven't established them or their relationships yet. They need to introduce them a bit at a time and show how they start to learn to work together. It does have those shonen moments with flashbacks and thinking/talking during the battle, but the official matches lose that quite a bit. You'll have to look at practice matches as training arcs and official matches as real fights. Haikyu is incredibly character driven, it is quite literally the heart of the show, so developing those characters takes precedence over pacing, especially in the beginning several episodes.

Taylor Blackwell

This was my second sports anime. It starts VERY slow. It took A LOT for me to get into it but once I did it SLAPS. That’s coming from someone who used to watch STRICTLY action anime. Take it from experience. It gets better. The characters start to feel like family and they KILL IT

komispo

every time they say suga i think abt bts lmao

Mariacake

The feet icon logo thing on their shirts is a parody of the sports apparel brand “ASICS”. In Japan, Asics is pronounced “ah-shikusu” and “ashi” is foot/feet in Japanese so the logo is a foot + ics. 😅

Nanashi

SnK is nothing like Haikyuu. I get what they mean, they've watched shows of life and death with extremely high stakes and now they're watching kids play volleyball and act like their life depends on it, it's jarring. I like Haikyuu, but I know it can be overly dramatic and trying too hard to be funny which can put people off but eventually the friendships and the matches and the peaks are worth it, anyone who ever plays sports can relate to a lot of stuff.

Nanashi

They should honestly watch Ping Pong the Animation. It's 11 episodes, has better writing, a lot better pacing and the peak of the series is just too good, the message and themes are portrayed so efficiently. The art might put people off but to me it's what makes it unique

Nanashi

Pretty easy to understand. Life and death fights with magic powers are jot relatable as opposed to sports

2024-08-12 23:37:30 There's going to be so much backlash to every little critique of the show lol. As someone that likes Haikyuu but don't mind people criticizing it this will be fun

I hope we are getting it soon enough, cant wait for the reaction to one my fav chars in the show

Thiivi

The real matches will not feel anything like this little exhibition match. We're still in the character setup phase, so let it cook!

Junkie Junk

The beauty of Haikyu!! is that there are no special powers or abilities, just hard work. There's nothing super flashy about the anime but the characters and relationships are what makes this show great.

loreen

dude same during the last video he said suga and i was like "where???"

Dakota

I thought maybe as sports guys you guys would get the little nuance in this show about practice and wanting to be better. I understand the pacing is a little weird, but its practice lol. Also if they just went straight into intense volleyball, you guys wouldn't understand the characters at all. Idk I usually really like your guys' commentary on things, but so far on this show, its not been so great. However, I really enjoy this anime and this channel, so i'll continue to watch hoping your opinions change on the matter

Svenny1k

oh boy good luck getting through the first 500 ep of op if you think this pacing is bad then op is unbearable 😭💀

Matt Haloostock

All these Haikyu diehards in the comments are funny lol. Just because they aren't in love with the show yet doesn't mean they don't like it or see the potential. I thought it was only decent until I got hooked around the end of season 1. Let them get further into the show and I'm sure they'll enjoy it more.

Azquidif

one piece pacing is fine early on. It gets worse and worse over time to the point of, on average, half a chapter being adapted per episode. It's ridiculous

PinoyAkoPH

I'm grateful for your honesty! Nothing you said offends me personally haha because I understand where you're coming from! It will make it even more fun when you guys get into the show more to see your journey!

SoySauce

all good reactions. All the criticism is valid. Everyone needs to know they are transitioning from action to slice of life/sports. But they will realize that the hype moments can be even more extreme than AOT in some cases (my opinion).
