I was googling some Haikyuu stuff. Like where to get volume 4 and just general Haikyuuness and I fell on a link called how did this Haikyuu character die. Then there was another Is this Haikyuu character really dead? And then I noped straight out of there. What the heck man, you can’t go killing…
I have way better than most of my readers. I know that. Still, I’m not sure I can take another close battle and waiting for a week to find out who won. Is this in bad taste? Probably. Blame this week’s Haikyuu! It was an emotional rollercoaster at a point where I am not ready…
I went through a lot of potential titles in my head for this week’s Haikyuu!! To The Top post. I thought about calling it Mind Games to play into the fact that even when they are not at their physical peak, Nakoma is a frightful opponent because they play a very cerebral game. A controlled…
This may come as a surprise to some of you, but I really really liked this week’s episode of Haikyuu To The Top! Ok fine, I’m goofing. I really like all episodes of Haikyuu To The Top. And of Haikyuu in general. It’s a great show with really great OP and ED music choices. I’m…
My last post of the first half of Haikyuu!! To The Top was called The Ballad of Tanaka The Stupid. I really liked that episode as well. It made me happy. But I do regret the title now. Kinda. Simple isn’t stupid and it isn’t easy. In fact, simple is often the mark of something…
People have a lot of thoughts about Sports anime. I know a lot of fans who call it their least favourite genre. On the other hand, we regularly get new titles and they tend to do pretty well in popularity. So it’s a toss-up on whether the genre, in general, is appreciated or not. One…
This is my most anticipated anime of the year. I really like Haikyuu! I know I’m hardly the only one. But where I might be a bit more unusual, is that I think To The Top is spectacular and possibly the best Haikyuu! has been. I’m about to go n a mini-rant so please humour…
And somehow this became a history of the Sports! anime genre… I’m pretty sure that people who take classes in creative writing, i.e. people who are not me, are told that stories need conflict. That’s a fairly old fashion view that isn’t true in all cases and they probably also say that in the classes….
Genre : Sports!, Comedy, School Episodes: 52 Studio: Madhouse, Baseball! No really that’s what happens. That’s all that happens! Ok, ok, so after a disappointing performance at the summer tournament in Koshien last summer, the Seido team is getting ready for revenge but now that the third years are gone and a slew…
I already knew that Haikyuu was a split cour. This means I knew that this season finale wouldn’t really bring much closure and was really more of a set up for the second part of the season this summer. They really didn’t have to try all that hard. Haikyuu To The Top has had a…
I still think that Hoshiumi looks more like a little owl but it seems the show is associating him with a seagull. I’m not going to argue. For reasons I will most likely never been able to explain, I do think a seagull would probably be better at volleyball than an owl. I’m really putting…
I’m not sure who reads my Haikyuu reviews. Those of you who do will find them pretty repetitive I bet. I just go OMG great episode I loved it every single week. I don’t want a bad episode, and considering there’s only one left…who stops a season after the first match of a tournament when…
I know every anime fan that watches seasonally has been where I am at some point. Namely, they find themselves watching a season of anime that seems exceptional yet no one else is talking about it… Haikyuu!! To The Top is an amazing season of anime. It’s my favourite currently airing show and I feel…
Man Haikyuu To The Top is good. I’ve been flirting with the idea for a while now but I’m just going to take a stand and announce it, this is my favourite season of Haikyuu!!. Or to put it into a bit more perspective, this is my favourite season of one of my favourite animes…
