i remember seeing that scene where Takeda sensei announced the news for Kageyama's invitation, and then waiting YEARS for season 4 to arrive. the next season is great, possibly even better writing, but it did have some horrible production timing with the pandemic. the journey is not over yet but season 3 was absolutely tremendous and damn them for cutting content to finish off the adaptation with movies

That's my only criticism of season 4. The animation had such a bad falloff from S3 that it's really jarring, especially in the first half.

There is no news about the second movie which means at best it'll release in 2026, and everyone seems to say it wont conclude the story unless they just skip a lot content.
I have a bone to pick with some haikyuu fans who told me the anime was complete with the movies coming out "soon" during the monster/haikyuu poll when I said monster should go first since haikyuu isn't finished yet.

Yeah his single-minded bravado in front of the team is most probably masking how stressful his position really is and how much pressure he’s facing

So well said. He's one of the best leaders in the show, and there are soo many amazing leaders. Then leads by example and starts the serves. I also love the respect behind "I'll beat you next time" showing he values the abilities of Hinata and Kags so highly he expects to play them in the PROS. Or maybe college? Not sure if Japanese college VB is competitive enough for JJ to go instead of right to pros.

I can't imagine the pressure Goshiki felt being the only 1st year on the starting lineup of a powerhouse school too.

There's so much I want to say about this episode and the show as a whole, but I'll just say I love the final scene with Shiratorizawa so much. Ushiwaka isn't there to give everyone advice, he's there to tell each of his teammates exactly what they need to hear. And Goshiki didn't need to hear about his weaknesses. Ushiwaka knows that he knows them well, and there's no chance that he isn't going to work hard. What Goshiki needed to hear was that his hero believes in him.

One of the many amazing things about this series is how it portrays the importance of connection and community. Karasuno being a mediocre team for the past few years wasn't necessarily due to the talent pool but more so the fact that once Grandpa Ukai retired his influence went with him. It's great to see how reconnecting with Nekoma impacted the team so much and how the town is now starting to rally behind them. Incredible reactions as always. I really appreciate your guys' appreciation for the series. <3

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, ive been blessed to see my local teams win multiple World Series and NBA Championships in my lifetime but let me tell y’all…NONE OF THOSE HIT AS HARD AS SEEING MY BOYS WIN THIS TROPHY. I BAWLED my eyes out when i first saw this. The moment of the 3rd years hugging…talk about making a moment feel as REAL as a live sporting event and winning a championship. AHHH ABSOLUTE PEAK 😭🙏
