Ex-volleyball player here: A really easy thing not to know, is how hard it actually is to aim while serving. Back at my high school team, most people aimed at the center of the court, and still missed about 10% of their serves. Someone who can consistently hit the same area of the court, again and again, it's actually a pretty amazing asset regardless of how strong or tricky his serve is. Pay close attention to Sugawara's serves across the show, and it will become clear how valuable this can be.
is this really true? I'm a football/soccer player and can't imagine not being able to hit a ball in the same area accurately like 95% of the time, even when passing like 50+ yards. Surely decent volleyball players can accurately hit the same quarter of the court without issue
@@MulberryFC that's been my experience. I also follow Coach Donny, a professional volleyball coach who has a TH-cam channel, and he claims that people who can accurately hit the same area constantly are highly valuable even at college levels. P.S: I suck at soccer, but I feel more confident that I would pass a football to someone somewhat far away than I feel serving a specific position on a volleyball court. I think it's because a football you can easily position anywhere you want, and it's waiting for you at the same place on the ground, while a volleyball it's on constant movement on the air, and even throwing a ball up before serving can put the ball at a strange place where you have only a second to adjust.
@@MulberryFC You have way more control throwing/kicking a ball (especially a soccer ball) than you do smacking a volleyball, they are very sensitive. Also you have to consider that you aren't aiming straight, you have to aim for where the ball falls after you make it over the net. So no direct paths
@@MulberryFC yeah, aiming consistently is pretty hard. you can get a few nice serves but the hard part is the consistency. it's not as easy as with football
I know it's not the same at all but in archery, if you keep doing the same thing(anchor points) over and over, you get consistency. I can imagine it's pretty difficult with an overhead volleyball serve because you don't have control using your arm, shoulder and hand the same way everytime. You have so many moving joints that you can't get repetition.
Just a reminder, that one of the biggest things about being an Ace is about scoring points regardless of how bad the situation is. Hinata just scored a match point on a slow set, with no time to position himself, against a triple block. This really was a big step towards his dreams of being the ace.
@@zafiruzoma6234 I’d say He really has a change in his vision of his ideal player after season 4. At this time of the story He still wants to become the ace, even though it’s not as obsessional as it was at the beginning of season 1.
@@CiJoueSponge yeah basically he wanted to become ace then later realize he is more of a star player kind of thing and that’s what he wanted to become a player that his team admires and relies on and a player his opponents fear!
@@JohanCruyff-the-Dutch-GOAT I’d say that first He wants to be the ace, then He wants to be the star of the team regardless of his position, and after season 4 He just wants to be the best player He can be and do as much as possible on the court.
@@timothythang5795 To be honest, I couldn't remember his height in high school, so that's from the Haikyuu wiki. It says 5'4" at the start of the year, just under 5'5" by Nationals.
For a sports anime I'd recommend Run with the Wind. It's an anime about running, but IT SO MUCH MORE than that. The story is more slice of life that revolves around running. It is produced by Production IG the same team as Haikyuu and even has the same OST Composer, Yuki Hayaski. There is only has one season but has the same emotional roller coaster as Haikyuu. Highly underrated.
What i love about this show is that very few if any of the people or teams are "bad guys" they're just different team/people with different attitudes and ideas when it comes to the game.
March Comes Like a Lion is my second fave 'sport' anime and is about shogi - half of the time, the other half is wholesomeness fighting loneliness and depression. Highly recommend.
It's definitely another one of those that makes you feel for the rivals, win or lose, for sure. Plus the art style to it and the one family... It feels very... comforting, like a cozy blanket and cup of tea at home, even despite some of the heavier topics and shogi specific stuff.
Sports anime that doesnt really include fantasy level skills imo Slam Dunk (basketball) Free!! (swimming) Run With The Wind (running/marathons) Tsurune (archery) chihayafuru (karuta: japanese game) sports animated by KyoAni and Production I.G imo are really good imo.
Hajime No Ippo is fantastic boxing anime that I think you'd all like (Pat might take a bit to really warm up to it) if you're on the hunt for more sports anime!
And people somehow forgave him super quickly too lmao. Like I love his design and play style but that scene always rubs me the wrong way and it's hard to forget about it when the show makes a point in showing that what he was doing is wrong, with Kiyoko being uncomfortable and Hinata trying to save her.
Run With The Wind is a really good sport anime, the characters already are on university and the story really got to that point where we are going into adulthood. It’s really short compared to others sport anime, but I think that it endend perfectly. Definitely worth to watch. (Sorry for bad english)
As someone who doesn't really like sports..I love sports anime!! There's so many, some have more sport than others. "Run With The Wind" is made by the same people that did Haikyuu and it's beautiful♡♡♡ it's about long distance running. Definitely my favourite after Haikyuu. I think more popular up there with Haikyuu is "Kuroko no Basket" (basketball one) and "Yuri on Ice" of course for ice skating which is so cute. I wasn't as fussed on Kuroko but it was ok. A lot of people adore it. "Free!" is about swimming. Maybe a bit more..'moody boys swim out their feelings' than like competitions etc but it's cute. Chihiyafuru is...I'd call it sports anime...it's about a card game called Karuta (i think..it's been a while), good balance between sportness and the characters and their love triangle 😅, i know there's ones for boxing..tennis...i saw a few eps of a rugby one once. Boys rhythmic gymnastics has an anime 🤣. Ping Ping the Animation has a wacky art style but is a good show. I suppose Sk8 The Infinity could count...that's about skateboarding and is wild 🤣 honestly i think there's an anime for everything that be vaguely considered a sport......climbing! Wall climbing..that has one too....beach volleyball...badminton....cheerleading.....quizzing?...baseball. These are only the ones I've come across. I've not watched them all fully but Haikyuu beats them all for me and RWTW is close.
If you want to get into more sports anime you should definitely give it a try to "Diamond no Ace" (Ace of the Diamond) it's a baseball anime. Tbh I like it a little bit more than Haikyuu, even tho I knew NOTHING about baseball when I started watching it, but they are both great sports anime :)
In terms of sport anime, Chihayafuru is my favorite, even if Karuta isn't what one would consider a traditional sport. Also, Slam Dunk is a classic, and is in my top 3 with Chihayafuru and Haikyuu.
It's not really much popular but there's another sports anime, which is one of the best I can tell, called "Stars Align" (Hoshiai no Sora) I can assure you that this anime has SO MUCH depth in its story. You will laugh, cry and sometimes scream. Sometimes your heart will melt. Maybe you can give it a chance by reacting the first episode and then decide weather you want to continue or not. I'm %100 sure you'll get hooked on to the show
Weight cap is discrimination!! 😂😂😂 Do u even know every contact sports has weight classes especially to remove unfair competition? Height is never bothered with since most such sports are team games and every team have option to have tall ones
As someone who's first language is spanish, I've come to realize that to English-speaking people japanese is really hard for them to pronounce. I don't think I've ever seen a single reaction video where someone doesn't mispronounce a name, whether it's The Normies or someone else.

I would be very surprised if they actually watch that, it's very good but it doesn't seem like their kind of thing
I can't call it a sports anime though. Yet to finish it but it's more of a character study and a drama rather than a sport anime
Missed Suraj.
Watching their match reactions is better from others because they have a fear of karasuno losing while other reactors just trust on the plot
Sports anime that doesnt really include fantasy level skills imo
Slam Dunk (basketball)
Free!! (swimming)
Run With The Wind (running/marathons)
Tsurune (archery)
chihayafuru (karuta: japanese game)
sports animated by KyoAni and Production I.G imo are really good imo.
I don't think they're ready for Fly High.
Epic episodes are coming😍
Hajime No Ippo is fantastic boxing anime that I think you'd all like (Pat might take a bit to really warm up to it) if you're on the hunt for more sports anime!
Prince of Tennis for tennis launched in 2001 is really good. It's a classic.
Granpa coach Ukai watching the matches! Go Karasuno!
Yowamushi Pedal is a great cycling anime.
what terushima did to kiyoko was so inappropriate smh

Mickey processing what tip points are is quite funny
"The penetrators"😂😂😂that remind me of one romance drama Europe series
Love how Marketa is the only one who actualy understands the Height in cm hahahaha XD
Attempt #1043: of trying to get The Normies to check out Sym-Bionic Titan or Primal.
Both made by Genndy Tartakovsky, the guy who made Samurai Jack.
