This OVA is to determine the venue representative for Tokyo. Most prefectures only get one representative (Karasuno for Miyagi prefecture) but since Tokyo is such a large prefecture, it actually gets two representatives. The two teams that make it to the finals (Fukurodani and Itachiyama) become the representatives of the Tokyo Prefecture for nationals. However, since Tokyo is also hosting the national tournament, it also gets a venue sponsor, meaning there are going to be three teams from Tokyo at the national tournament. This venue sponsor spot is what the losers of the semi-finals (Nekoma and Nohebi) play for. Hope that makes sense!
Just wanted to say, on behalf of all the Homies, we are really, really sorry that you had to go through those verbal attacks from a very vocal subset. You didn't deserve that. The point of being homies is to have fun. So, let's continue having fun!
Genuinely when I checked on the old video nearly alll the recent comments were hating on her and calling her names (tho many had protective responses because we protecc our girl)
I was shook when I saw the notification and then literally started chanting "Vic is back! Vic is back!" Love the content so glad your back! Hope everything's been going well!!!💜
@@victoriagarrickvolleyball2172 Your like and comment(which I didn't expect at all) literally made my day! 😭 Thank you!💜 And don't stress too much about making content and fan hate. We definitely appreciate the time and effort you take out of your life to make these reactions!🙏🏽
@@victoriagarrickvolleyball2172 your an absolute 🐐. You don't deserve any of the hate you have gotten recently, and I apologize for my fellow hiakyuu homies who have turned traitor to the other side. We love you dude, keep it pushing, and its great seeing you back.
23:10 there's a drama CD that explains Kenma's hair. Taketora told him he looks like a ghost with his black long hair, he always looking down and also that he stands out so, because of that Kenma bleached his hair all blonde to not look like a ghost but ended up standing out even more that before. Kuroo told him that it's going to be a trouble to bleach it every time and Kenma said that he's not gonna do such a thing. That's how Kenma got his pudding head xd
Lol the CD Drama is directly adapted from a bonus chapter in the manga. I'm pretty sure it's from volume 4 in fact. It's kinda funny to see people considering the CD Drama as the origin of that story haha
Here is a quick clarification in case you still are confused Karasuno is in Miyagi prefecture, winning against shiratorizawa gave then the ticket to the nationals (held in Tokyo) Fukurodani and Nekoma are Tokyo prefecture, which is obviously far bigger than Miyagi, this is why rather than qualifying only one school's team to the nationals, two teams qualify + a third team as a bonus because Tokyo is the host city of the nationals Right now, Fukurodani has secured a spot, however Nekoma need to win one more game to get the "host city bonus" and qualify to the nationals
“Kenma is so chill like he didn’t even move his feet” that’s nekoma’s strength. Their defense is so good they pass perfect almost every time. Their ground game is so good they don’t need a super star because they can all pull off solid receives to give kenma all the time and options possible.
I hope Vic at least took the time to watch season 4 for her own enjoyment because it really is a great season. Hopefully her burnout of doing videos didn’t kill her joy of the series
I rarely comment on videos but I felt like I needed to for this one. I’m not a member of the fandom that interacts too much with creators but I’ve learned this show brings joy to so many people (hopefully you’re included). It stinks to see some people making a fuss over not seeing a reaction video when the Homies know you have A LOT going on. It should be a fun thing. When you have joy taken away from something you like, it’s hard to want to keep going with it. As Suga would say: Negativity begone! tl;dr I love seeing your reactions and you know, maybe you not committing to a weekly schedule makes seeing them like a little treat when they do pop up! I really hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
I would never ask for an apology from you for missing the uploads dates you set as I know you're probably a very busy person (especially with everything going on at the moment in your life). So I appreciate you for acknowledging that you did. Makes me feel a lot better.
Fun fact about Kenma's hair: He originally has really black hair, but Taketora (the guy who resembles Tanaka) commented that his black hair makes him stand out a lot. Since Kenma is an introvert and doesn't want to attract too much attention, he decided to dye it blonde which made him stand out even more and right now he just let it grow out^^
I"m too tired right now to formulate a well written comment but just wanted to say I'm sorry you've had to deal with those toxic people. You bring nothing but positivity and joy through your channel and I hope you will continue to do it, on your own time. Love your haikyuu reactions and volleyball content, and wish you all the best.
just saying, they are playing for the final spot open in nationals, Tokyo is big so they have 2 reps, and since they're hosting, they get a 3rd slot, which is what Nekoma is currently playing for. (also personally in the nekoma v fukorodani match it wasnt made clear about the sets and many were confused)
Vic! So excited for the reactions to be back :) I hope you and editor Emily take the reactions at your own pace and have a good time with the upcoming season!! Edit to add! If you’re wondering there was an art style change between season 3 and these OVAs/season 4. The comics slowly change over time as the chapters are released weekly over years, so the studio decided to do the show in the newer style. But be prepared, there’s some funky animation because of production issues during covid. The animators did their best with the conditions they were under but sometimes things look a little rough. So please be gentle when things look… iffy. And idk if you figure it out by the end of the episode, but this is like the Tokyo version of the tournament karasuno was just in! They’re trying to get to nationals (which karasuno has already qualified for). And Tokyo gets to send three teams because it’s such a big prefecture and they’re hosting. So Fukurodani (Bokuto’s team) is in, but Nekoma is still playing to try to get into nationals!
Kenma is like the shot caller. And his brain works insanely different from the others. One of his strength is that he never let's his composure crumble easily. He's not the type to succumb easily to pressure. Those things makes him calmer to think ahead of the game. Not to mention he's also smart. He's like if Tsukishima can get even calmer and more laid back, that's Kenma.
SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK REACTING, VIC! ❤ Also congrats for everthing else going super great in your life! You deserve all the good things, really happy for you! 🥰
This is the tournament to determine which teams advance to Nationals from the Tokyo area. Because Tokyo is such a large area, the teams that finish 1st and 2nd both get to go to Nationals, and since Nationals are also being held in Tokyo, the third-place team gets a bid as a special venue representative
Yaaay! Ok, in the 4th season watch out for character development and dealing with anxiety cause they are some major themes there. Obviously good games, but animation goes down a bit time by time, and basically just consistency goes down. And about the haters, don’t listen to them. Really ridiculous that they would hate you for not having the same schedule, and more after all the things you are doing. Take how much time you need to upload the videos, we will enjoy them, and more importantly is that you enjoy the anime! If you don’t there is no point to it
Omgg, this video made me sooo happy, thank you for posting Vic ❤ Dont ever feel pressured to upload or make the videos, take your time. You are here to have fun and homies got your back!
This OVA is happening after season 3 (or during) While Miyagi, the region our Karasuno is from, only gets one representative to compete for Nationals, (Karasuno won against Shiratorizawa in the finals in S3 so Karasuno is the team that gets to compete in the National Tournament), Tokyo, being a larger region gets 2 teams + 1 for hosting the tournament. This is what the OVA is about. The teams that place 1st, 2nd (Finalists) and 3rd are allowed to compete in the National Tournament.
I honestly forgot today was Tuesday. I wasn’t sure if you would upload today, but I’m so excited to see this! I hope you focus on all the real Haikyuu homies who support you! I hope you’re doing well!!!
VIC!!! When I say I cheered when I heard "what's up haikyuu homies!" I ABSOLUTELY CHEERED! I've never really minded whether content creators stick to a schedule, I know that's pretty much just me. I'm just excited to see you get into more Haikyuu because this show is very special to me and a lot of people. I'm so glad it's something that you get to be a part of now. Whenever you get to season 4, I will absolutely be there ready to see your reactions, and scary accurate predictions. Lots of Love from this triple H!!
Quick recap of what happened until now: Japan is divided into prefecutres, twice a year it's held the national volleyball tournament (spring tournament) between the representative of the prefecutres .In order to access this tournament there are prefectural qualifiers tournaments; the first Karasuno lost to Aoba Johsai (Oikawa's team) and the second one they won to Shiratorizawa (Ushijima's team) so now Karasuno is the representative for Miyagi (end of season 3)...now on the ova they're deciding the representative for Tokyo which can have 2, since it's a big prefecture + another spot since they're hosting the tournament for a total of 3...4 teams made to semi-finals (Nohebi,Itachiyama,Fukoradani,Nekoma) and since both Nohebi and Nekoma lost their first match, now they're fighting for the last spot at the tournament
agshdjks there's a whole story about kenma's pudding hair, i dont think it will ever be animated but it has been adapted in a cd,, you decide if they are spoilers. during his 1st yr, kenma had unbleached, black hair. he used to play vid games in dark rooms. loads of ppl thought that kenma was actually a ghost because of his long, dark hair and pale complexion (particularly sadako from 'ring'.) when someone pointed out that his hair made him stand out, kenma felt nervous because he doesn't like standing out. next day, kenma showed up to school with bleached hair (which just made him stand out more.) when someone in the team pointed out that they didnt mean kenma stood out because of his black hair but because it was long, kenma just said that he didnt like his field of vision being too wide as it made him anxious. he also didn't bother to retouch his roots that's how kenma went from black, to blond, to pudding hair. (tell me in the comments if this is considered a spoiler as it probably will never be animated?? so idk y'all tell me.)
A sieve is the net thing you use when you bake to make sure there's no lumps in the flour, basically it's a collection of holes for things to pass through - not something you want your blockers to remind people of ^^;
Lev is a new player. He joined between Season 1 and 2. He’s physically talented, both tall and fast and good reflexes. But he’s raw and inexperienced. In the OVA between seasons (I forget if you’ve seen it or not) Kenma and Lev built a rapport. That’s why the coach put Kenma sort of in charge of Lev.
Don’t worry Vic I used to get confused a lot of times when I watched Haikyuu for the first time. We are here to help in every doubt you have so feel free to get confused 😂
Do you not plan to react to season 4? 😢😢 i found your content here (about a minth ago) and really enjoyed your content and ensights and a volleyball player. Hope you will consider reacting to season 4 if you haven't watched it already. If you have watched, you could get a volleyball friend whon has never seen the show to watch first 3 seasons and then the 2 of you react to the 4th season here together 😊
Victoria, I found your channel maybe a year ago from your HQ reactions and stuck around because you were such a nice person and so genuine. It's so good to see that you're back! Please take as many breaks as you need and thank you for the stuff you do find time to post.
Also, thank you so much for that setting of boundaries in the beginning. I think that, as viewers, sometimes we use reactions to feel good about ourselves and, depending on what is happening in an individuals life, realizing that we're not entitled to reactions and not receiving them when we want can be painful. That said, that doesn't excuse hating creators, nor does it excuse the idea that you work for us. You don't lol. So thank you for that. One can be upset without hurting others.
I sometimes feel like knowing nothing about volleyball going into Haikyuu made it easier to understand somehow because I'm not already primed with IRL volleyball information, so I have to pay extra attention to the show and take everything at face value 🤔like with these OVAs they mention that 3 of the 4 teams get to play in nationals and I was just like "okay sure sounds legit" LOL - you have so much more insight when it comes to the actual internal workings of the match, and I feel like I'm learning more from you about the show that /I/ didn't understand. Thanks for having such great commentary and I can't wait to see what you have to say about the episodes to come :D
I'm halfway in the video but just thought I'd comment it in advance. Every prefecture has a limited number of qualifying spots for the National Tournament, and this is taking place in Tokyo which normally only has 2 spots. In the Land vs Air OVA, there are 4 teams competing: Fukurodani, Itachiyama, Nekoma, and Nohebi. Fukurodani beat Nekoma and Itachiyama beat Nohebi meaning the two National spots have gone to those two respective teams. However because the National tournament is being held in Tokyo, there is a 3rd spot because the prefecture is the venue sponsor for Nationals. That 3rd qualifying spot for Nationals is what the losing teams, Nekoma and Nohebi, are competing for.
I was honestly afraid she's gonna grow to hate our community and HAIKYUU(oh noo) because of the unexpected hate spam WHICH WOULD BE SO AWFUL AAAAAAA but I'm happy she's acting really mature and kind about it I love you Vic 😭💞💞💞
OMG VIC! I'm so glad you're back. I really missed your reactions. And there's something else I want to say. Thank you very much for what you are doing. You inspired me to learn how to play volleyball. Even though it was very difficult, I still kept trying. Now I will be the captain of our school volleyball team. I teach my friends what I have learned myself, and in a couple of weeks we will have our first competition. Greetings from Russia. We love you very much too!❤️
Timeline wise Land VS Air takes place shortly after Season 3. In the second half of Season 3s last episode Hinata gets a text from Kenma saying they made it to the Final Four of Tokyos Qualifier. That is the tournament that we see in the OVA. This tournament will decide which teams play in the National tournament which is being held in Tokyo so 3 of the 4 teams will be attending.
kenma had completely black hair and was pale as a ghost because he always stayed inside. Some said that he is really outstanding because of that and thats why he bleached his hair which only cause that he outstands more xd
Kenma: you're still nowhere near Shoyou Victoria: Wow, Kenma thinks Shoyou is so good he mentions him? Lol nah, he knows that Shoyou sucks, but he's saying that out of the two overenthusiastic noobs he has to deal with Shoyou is the less hopeless one xD
I hope u never let the stress of a few over zealous watchers ruin the enjoyment and fun u have found watching this show and interacting w the community. Even when ur not in a happy mood like a few videos ago the simple fact that u have come to love this show and it’s characters as much as we do I personally love to see and is a big reason I always come back to watch ur vids, even ur non haikyuu vids. Take care of urself 💜
So happy you're back and that you enjoyed your time away. We missed having new content from you, but your TRUE homies appreciate your freedom and respect it. Best wishes on your wedding and your wedding planning.
Glad to see you're back! By the way, OVA's usually go by faster then regular episodes and don't go into as much detail, that's why the first match went by so fast. The animators were trying to fit 2 matches into only 2 episodes so some details had to be skipped over. And about you're question on if we get a little confused on what's happening during Haikyuu. I know I do, at least sometimes, things can go by so fast that it can be hard to follow on the first watch so sometimes I have to watch parts over ( I also replay the scenes that I love like 3 times lol). But this is also true for a lot of anime, the more you watch the easier it is to put things together, it's all about practice, if that makes any sense. That last thing I just wanted to mention was that don't listen to what the "Hater Homies" were saying. It's completely understandable that you have things going on in your personal life that take president. It's the same with us. Sometimes we can't watch a video on the Tuesday that you uploaded, the point is that we all get to things when we can. Anyway, good luck with your public speaking!
@@SilverFang95 Dude just let her do her. She can always rewatch it if she needs a refresher. People take a break in the middle of an anime all the time. I still haven't watched the final season of Fairy Tail and it's been years, and don't even get me started on Naruto. I've had to restart that one so many times. The point is there are other things she needs to be doing right now, and we should be okay with that.
@@Lovesanimeand1D Were you recording videos while watching those anime? Ah yes, a 2 month break. You know damn well that she won't rewatch. Also it doesn't take much to have a 1hr break. I would understand if she was editing her videos herself, but she doesn't or didn't at this point.
WELCOME BACK VICCCCCCC , we missed youuuu sooooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and i am sooo soooo sooooooo sorry about the verbal attacks you received, you didn‘t deserve that and i hope you didn‘t take it to heart🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 i hope the preparations for your wedding are going smoothly ☺️🥰 i am eagerly following you on Insta , so it‘ s always a delight seeing you 😍🤩☺️ and i love how you always speak about body positivity , you are such an inspiration and motivation for me and many many others ❤️❤️❤️ hope you have a wonderful day , stay safe and healthy 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 sending you lots lots loooootttttssss of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know it's been a year and I also know not much has been shown since u last watched but I want to say I do miss your reactions. ! So happy for you and ur life and ur wedding as well keep grinding and hope we get to see a reaction soon ! ❤
Yeah she did a poll on Instagram in May 2022 asking if she returned to TH-cam would anyone watch it and it was like 67% no so yeah she's not coming back. She only did this because she was bored in covid lockdowns
Hahaha Vic remember you are watching in another language so when you look away for 5-10 seconds you sometimes miss the details you are wondering about. No worries tho if you miss something we will always catch you up before the next episode but dont be afraid to pause! :)
i binge watched your reaction videos cuz it feels like i'm watching it with someone who has the same vibes as me but i feel down seeing it ends in season 3. I'm really looking forward to your reaction in season 4 cuz i know you'll enjoy and love it to the fullest, it has so many libero saves and more characters to be introduced. hope you'll come back 🥹
Girl, don't sweat it! You look SUPER busy on Instagram, and helping young athletes with mental health is your passion, so OF COURSE that should take precedent. I love these videos, but it's totally reasonable to take breaks for, you know, mental health. ;) Glad to have you back, but also, please don't feel bad for taking care of yourself and your work first. That makes you a responsible and savvy businesswoman. And that's something I respect. I look forward to more Haikyuu content in YOUR OWN time. \^o^/
Really been loving your reaction series and happy to see it picking back up! Shame on anyone harassing you for having a busy life. Your YT content is on your schedule and that's that. Hope you're doing well and I can't wait to follow your journey through S4.
I just started being a haikyuu homie and watching your videos and its been so great! I never played volleyball but was the book score keeper for JV and V all through high school and I love the sport. I am sad to see that you aren't active on here anymore. I've been watching season 4 and find myself missing your commentary. I hope you being inactive just means you are having a great time in your life and being fulfilled. I subscribed just in hopes if you ever come back to review season 4
Your reaction is like having a friend watching movie together.... It won't be fun if you feel force to do it.... Just do whatever you want.... Shame on haters who force someone when they just watching for free...
In short, these are the qualifier games for Tokyo. Semifinal Winners advance to Nationals and losers face each other for an at-large bid. The semi winners play for seeding in the national tournament.
I always look forward to your videos but I agree that making this videos should be as fun as making them, so no worries if you need more time. I don't mind waiting because, I know what it is to have so many things happening all at the same time, I feel you.
I too would like to text Shouyou. I'm glad you're back, and I'm even been more glad that you took the time you needed and stood up to all the criticism. Your demonstration of prioritizing mental health is so valuable, especially on your second channel, where it's not the focus. You bring so many of us so much joy, and I'm so glad that life is going well for you and that you are still able to enjoy Haikyuu!!
Glad to see you back, but always always take as much time as you need. People are not entitled to these videos from you. Thank you for sharing your reaction with us.
I was very excited to see your video after the break, i actually got into volleyball from watching your videos and now i’m the president of my university’s newly formed volleyball club and our very first tournament is coming up next month. I have to say thank you for getting me interested in volleyball and your videos have helped me become a better player. I thank you for putting out these videos in your free time and i eagerly await your next video whenever you happen to put it out. I think we all are very appreciative for everything you do and we all wish you nothing but the best.
Welcome back Vic!!! Looking forward to seeing your reactions (when it is most convenient for you!!) and I'm so glad to see that you're doing well! Thank you so much for creating a space for the homies to interact with you and each other like this. I'm so glad you're taking the space to do Haikyuu!! content only when you feel like it and keeping it fun for yourself :)
Yay! Welcome back! The Land vs Air show the Tokyo qualifiers. Tokyo is so massive that they get to send 3 teams to Nationals. While small prefectures only get to send one so their qualifier tournaments are one loss and you’re out. For Tokyo the top 3 teams get to go but only the number one team will be seeded in nationals. For season 4, you will notice the animation changes. The studios team changed and of course covid changed everything so the animation is not as good. But for all the wonky animation (after 15 especially) the story is fantastic this season. Can’t wait to experience it with you!
Probably will get lost in the comments here, but thank you so much Victoria. I've been watching your reactions forever, and what I've taken away from it is the growth mindset. 8 months ago I believed I couldn't draw, I changed that to believing I could draw if I practiced enough. Here I am now, still haven't practiced enough to match my tastes but people are starting to compliment me. I may not be proud of my art yet but I'm so proud of my progress. I would have never started without you
I mean, as much as you make these videos for fun, I watch these videos for fun. My life doesn't revolve around your videos coming out and it shouldn't for anyone. Of course I get excited about seeing you post a new reaction but I'm not expecting you to give me anything. I'm just glad to be able to watch you enjoy the show.
It’s funny you mention Kenma not even adjusting his step: That’s a purposeful animation detail. Kenma isn’t physically the most fit player despite being a pretty clever setter. Part of Nekoma’s team strategy is having amazing receives in pet so that Kenma doesn’t have to move much.
This is my first time watching this OVA as well 😅 despite the fact that I watched Haikyuu series over 5 times now 😂 Thanks to your editor for not cutting the scenes or fast forwarding the video- it made me feel like watching the show with a friend (Victoria). I do recognise some new characters that will later show up in season 4 and some references that I didn’t get but now I do because I watched this. It really was a good thing you watched this ☺️ I do hope you won’t take a long time to react on the next one so you won’t forget what happened. Good luck on the speaking gig and wedding planning!
We get confused too on our first watch thru. There's a reason why we rewatch it over and over and OVER and OVER again. There's something new to glean each time and appreciate.
i've researched ' “Haikyuu” means volleyball in Japanese. The animated stories follow the life of Junior High School student, Shoyo Hinata who loves the game of volleyball after watching professional volleyball on television.' is what it said : i'm new here i started watching vic reacting to haikyuu last week and i love it so much cause idk ANYTHING about volleyball, years ago when i watched haikyuu by myself id understand any of it and didn't even finished it and thankfully now i found a reaction vid that knows what's happening and i love how 'the growth mindset' and want to apply it to myself. and when i first saw kei 'tsuki' i already like him no matter if his mean and rude i just love him so much😍😍
OMG! Welcome back Vic!! You don't know how much I missed your "What's up, Haikyuu Homies!" Great reaction as always!! ❤ Your homies will be here to continue supporting you so take your time and don't overwork yourself! I hope the wedding planning is going great for you and Tsukki! Lots of love here from the Philippines 🇵🇭
How did I miss this... so glad to see you back with your vids! take all the time you need... we understand that you have a life just like each and every one of us!
I'm so excited that you are getting able to do so many more things now! I loved watching these videos in the depths of being solitary. take your time!!!! We all love you Vic
This OVA is to determine the venue representative for Tokyo. Most prefectures only get one representative (Karasuno for Miyagi prefecture) but since Tokyo is such a large prefecture, it actually gets two representatives. The two teams that make it to the finals (Fukurodani and Itachiyama) become the representatives of the Tokyo Prefecture for nationals. However, since Tokyo is also hosting the national tournament, it also gets a venue sponsor, meaning there are going to be three teams from Tokyo at the national tournament. This venue sponsor spot is what the losers of the semi-finals (Nekoma and Nohebi) play for. Hope that makes sense!

She's not back and won't be back.
@@SilverFang95 why ?
23:10 there's a drama CD that explains Kenma's hair.
Taketora told him he looks like a ghost with his black long hair, he always looking down and also that he stands out so, because of that Kenma bleached his hair all blonde to not look like a ghost but ended up standing out even more that before.
Kuroo told him that it's going to be a trouble to bleach it every time and Kenma said that he's not gonna do such a thing. That's how Kenma got his pudding head xd
There's an OVA about this too, I believe
@@BlkEyedAngel94 hmm 🤔 I don't think so
up
@Yuri Imura Sorry, not an OVA, but there is a backstory episode of Kenma and Yamamoto in the fourth season
Lol the CD Drama is directly adapted from a bonus chapter in the manga. I'm pretty sure it's from volume 4 in fact. It's kinda funny to see people considering the CD Drama as the origin of that story haha
Here is a quick clarification in case you still are confused
Karasuno is in Miyagi prefecture, winning against shiratorizawa gave then the ticket to the nationals (held in Tokyo)
Fukurodani and Nekoma are Tokyo prefecture, which is obviously far bigger than Miyagi, this is why rather than qualifying only one school's team to the nationals, two teams qualify + a third team as a bonus because Tokyo is the host city of the nationals
Right now, Fukurodani has secured a spot, however Nekoma need to win one more game to get the "host city bonus" and qualify to the nationals
Yeah. Nekoma lost in the semifinals to Fukorodani and are playing in the third place game against Nohebi to decide the third spot for nationals.
Nice info for her
She went out for cigs and never came back
“Kenma is so chill like he didn’t even move his feet” that’s nekoma’s strength. Their defense is so good they pass perfect almost every time. Their ground game is so good they don’t need a super star because they can all pull off solid receives to give kenma all the time and options possible.
And since Kenma doesn't have much stamina, it helps him through a long game if they have to play more than two sets.
I hope Vic at least took the time to watch season 4 for her own enjoyment because it really is a great season. Hopefully her burnout of doing videos didn’t kill her joy of the series
I rarely comment on videos but I felt like I needed to for this one. I’m not a member of the fandom that interacts too much with creators but I’ve learned this show brings joy to so many people (hopefully you’re included). It stinks to see some people making a fuss over not seeing a reaction video when the Homies know you have A LOT going on. It should be a fun thing. When you have joy taken away from something you like, it’s hard to want to keep going with it. As Suga would say: Negativity begone!
tl;dr I love seeing your reactions and you know, maybe you not committing to a weekly schedule makes seeing them like a little treat when they do pop up! I really hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
I would never ask for an apology from you for missing the uploads dates you set as I know you're probably a very busy person (especially with everything going on at the moment in your life). So I appreciate you for acknowledging that you did. Makes me feel a lot better.
Fun fact about Kenma's hair:
He originally has really black hair, but Taketora (the guy who resembles Tanaka) commented that his black hair makes him stand out a lot. Since Kenma is an introvert and doesn't want to attract too much attention, he decided to dye it blonde which made him stand out even more and right now he just let it grow out^^
yeaa cuz tora thought kenma looked like the girl from the ring and got scared xD
it looks dark brown to me unless I'm color blind
@@naylisyazwina6836 i was refering to what the manga implies; but I agree it looks brown here:)
I"m too tired right now to formulate a well written comment but just wanted to say I'm sorry you've had to deal with those toxic people.
You bring nothing but positivity and joy through your channel and I hope you will continue to do it, on your own time.
Love your haikyuu reactions and volleyball content, and wish you all the best.
just saying, they are playing for the final spot open in nationals, Tokyo is big so they have 2 reps, and since they're hosting, they get a 3rd slot, which is what Nekoma is currently playing for. (also personally in the nekoma v fukorodani match it wasnt made clear about the sets and many were confused)
The end of an era
Vic! So excited for the reactions to be back :) I hope you and editor Emily take the reactions at your own pace and have a good time with the upcoming season!!
Edit to add!
If you’re wondering there was an art style change between season 3 and these OVAs/season 4. The comics slowly change over time as the chapters are released weekly over years, so the studio decided to do the show in the newer style. But be prepared, there’s some funky animation because of production issues during covid. The animators did their best with the conditions they were under but sometimes things look a little rough. So please be gentle when things look… iffy.
And idk if you figure it out by the end of the episode, but this is like the Tokyo version of the tournament karasuno was just in! They’re trying to get to nationals (which karasuno has already qualified for). And Tokyo gets to send three teams because it’s such a big prefecture and they’re hosting. So Fukurodani (Bokuto’s team) is in, but Nekoma is still playing to try to get into nationals!
girlyyy we miss uuu hope one day you can come back and watch season 4 :´(
Love that you are back, and we appreciate you doing this for us. Sorry about all those giving you trouble.
Kenma is like the shot caller. And his brain works insanely different from the others. One of his strength is that he never let's his composure crumble easily. He's not the type to succumb easily to pressure. Those things makes him calmer to think ahead of the game. Not to mention he's also smart.
He's like if Tsukishima can get even calmer and more laid back, that's Kenma.
SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK REACTING, VIC! ❤ Also congrats for everthing else going super great in your life! You deserve all the good things, really happy for you! 🥰
This is the tournament to determine which teams advance to Nationals from the Tokyo area. Because Tokyo is such a large area, the teams that finish 1st and 2nd both get to go to Nationals, and since Nationals are also being held in Tokyo, the third-place team gets a bid as a special venue representative
Yaaay! Ok, in the 4th season watch out for character development and dealing with anxiety cause they are some major themes there. Obviously good games, but animation goes down a bit time by time, and basically just consistency goes down.
And about the haters, don’t listen to them. Really ridiculous that they would hate you for not having the same schedule, and more after all the things you are doing. Take how much time you need to upload the videos, we will enjoy them, and more importantly is that you enjoy the anime! If you don’t there is no point to it
Omgg, this video made me sooo happy, thank you for posting Vic ❤ Dont ever feel pressured to upload or make the videos, take your time. You are here to have fun and homies got your back!
Hey Victoria, glad you're back and smiling. Haikyuu homies stay strong! Sending you lots of love from France 🇫🇷
This OVA is happening after season 3 (or during)
While Miyagi, the region our Karasuno is from, only gets one representative to compete for Nationals, (Karasuno won against Shiratorizawa in the finals in S3 so Karasuno is the team that gets to compete in the National Tournament), Tokyo, being a larger region gets 2 teams + 1 for hosting the tournament.
This is what the OVA is about. The teams that place 1st, 2nd (Finalists) and 3rd are allowed to compete in the National Tournament.
There is another reactor with title "Olympic player reacts to haikyuu" currently reacting to season 3. You may want check her.
Sarah Pavan is the far superior volleyball reactor.
I honestly forgot today was Tuesday. I wasn’t sure if you would upload today, but I’m so excited to see this! I hope you focus on all the real Haikyuu homies who support you! I hope you’re doing well!!!
I love Yaku so much omg, he's such an amazing character and player, this scene always makes me cry TvT
VIC!!! When I say I cheered when I heard "what's up haikyuu homies!" I ABSOLUTELY CHEERED! I've never really minded whether content creators stick to a schedule, I know that's pretty much just me. I'm just excited to see you get into more Haikyuu because this show is very special to me and a lot of people. I'm so glad it's something that you get to be a part of now. Whenever you get to season 4, I will absolutely be there ready to see your reactions, and scary accurate predictions. Lots of Love from this triple H!!
Quick recap of what happened until now: Japan is divided into prefecutres, twice a year it's held the national volleyball tournament (spring tournament) between the representative of the prefecutres .In order to access this tournament there are prefectural qualifiers tournaments; the first Karasuno lost to Aoba Johsai (Oikawa's team) and the second one they won to Shiratorizawa (Ushijima's team) so now Karasuno is the representative for Miyagi (end of season 3)...now on the ova they're deciding the representative for Tokyo which can have 2, since it's a big prefecture + another spot since they're hosting the tournament for a total of 3...4 teams made to semi-finals (Nohebi,Itachiyama,Fukoradani,Nekoma) and since both Nohebi and Nekoma lost their first match, now they're fighting for the last spot at the tournament
thank you for the clear explanation!!! although i alr watched all of them, i still dont understand a lot of things
agshdjks there's a whole story about kenma's pudding hair, i dont think it will ever be animated but it has been adapted in a cd,, you decide if they are spoilers.
during his 1st yr, kenma had unbleached, black hair. he used to play vid games in dark rooms. loads of ppl thought that kenma was actually a ghost because of his long, dark hair and pale complexion (particularly sadako from 'ring'.) when someone pointed out that his hair made him stand out, kenma felt nervous because he doesn't like standing out.
next day, kenma showed up to school with bleached hair (which just made him stand out more.) when someone in the team pointed out that they didnt mean kenma stood out because of his black hair but because it was long, kenma just said that he didnt like his field of vision being too wide as it made him anxious. he also didn't bother to retouch his roots
that's how kenma went from black, to blond, to pudding hair.
(tell me in the comments if this is considered a spoiler as it probably will never be animated?? so idk y'all tell me.)
A sieve is the net thing you use when you bake to make sure there's no lumps in the flour, basically it's a collection of holes for things to pass through - not something you want your blockers to remind people of ^^;
Lev is a new player. He joined between Season 1 and 2. He’s physically talented, both tall and fast and good reflexes. But he’s raw and inexperienced.
In the OVA between seasons (I forget if you’ve seen it or not) Kenma and Lev built a rapport. That’s why the coach put Kenma sort of in charge of Lev.
yeah.. i guess vic got confused lev with other characters because i did too😂
Don’t worry Vic I used to get confused a lot of times when I watched Haikyuu for the first time. We are here to help in every doubt you have so feel free to get confused 😂
Do you not plan to react to season 4? 😢😢 i found your content here (about a minth ago) and really enjoyed your content and ensights and a volleyball player. Hope you will consider reacting to season 4 if you haven't watched it already. If you have watched, you could get a volleyball friend whon has never seen the show to watch first 3 seasons and then the 2 of you react to the 4th season here together 😊
Victoria, I found your channel maybe a year ago from your HQ reactions and stuck around because you were such a nice person and so genuine. It's so good to see that you're back! Please take as many breaks as you need and thank you for the stuff you do find time to post.
Also, thank you so much for that setting of boundaries in the beginning. I think that, as viewers, sometimes we use reactions to feel good about ourselves and, depending on what is happening in an individuals life, realizing that we're not entitled to reactions and not receiving them when we want can be painful. That said, that doesn't excuse hating creators, nor does it excuse the idea that you work for us. You don't lol. So thank you for that. One can be upset without hurting others.
It's the promising parts. She made a promise and missed. Kinda rude to do.
'im not laying on a beach somewhere ignoring you'
I speak for all homies when I say WHY NOT?! TAKE A VACATION GIRL!!
Clearly she is tho.
she dipped
I sometimes feel like knowing nothing about volleyball going into Haikyuu made it easier to understand somehow because I'm not already primed with IRL volleyball information, so I have to pay extra attention to the show and take everything at face value 🤔like with these OVAs they mention that 3 of the 4 teams get to play in nationals and I was just like "okay sure sounds legit" LOL - you have so much more insight when it comes to the actual internal workings of the match, and I feel like I'm learning more from you about the show that /I/ didn't understand. Thanks for having such great commentary and I can't wait to see what you have to say about the episodes to come :D
I'm halfway in the video but just thought I'd comment it in advance. Every prefecture has a limited number of qualifying spots for the National Tournament, and this is taking place in Tokyo which normally only has 2 spots. In the Land vs Air OVA, there are 4 teams competing: Fukurodani, Itachiyama, Nekoma, and Nohebi.
Fukurodani beat Nekoma and Itachiyama beat Nohebi meaning the two National spots have gone to those two respective teams. However because the National tournament is being held in Tokyo, there is a 3rd spot because the prefecture is the venue sponsor for Nationals. That 3rd qualifying spot for Nationals is what the losing teams, Nekoma and Nohebi, are competing for.
I was honestly afraid she's gonna grow to hate our community and HAIKYUU(oh noo) because of the unexpected hate spam WHICH WOULD BE SO AWFUL AAAAAAA but I'm happy she's acting really mature and kind about it I love you Vic 😭💞💞💞
OMG VIC! I'm so glad you're back. I really missed your reactions. And there's something else I want to say. Thank you very much for what you are doing. You inspired me to learn how to play volleyball. Even though it was very difficult, I still kept trying. Now I will be the captain of our school volleyball team. I teach my friends what I have learned myself, and in a couple of weeks we will have our first competition. Greetings from Russia. We love you very much too!❤️
Timeline wise Land VS Air takes place shortly after Season 3. In the second half of Season 3s last episode Hinata gets a text from Kenma saying they made it to the Final Four of Tokyos Qualifier. That is the tournament that we see in the OVA. This tournament will decide which teams play in the National tournament which is being held in Tokyo so 3 of the 4 teams will be attending.
kenma had completely black hair and was pale as a ghost because he always stayed inside. Some said that he is really outstanding because of that and thats why he bleached his hair which only cause that he outstands more xd
yes
Kenma: you're still nowhere near Shoyou
Victoria: Wow, Kenma thinks Shoyou is so good he mentions him?
Lol nah, he knows that Shoyou sucks, but he's saying that out of the two overenthusiastic noobs he has to deal with Shoyou is the less hopeless one xD
I hope u never let the stress of a few over zealous watchers ruin the enjoyment and fun u have found watching this show and interacting w the community. Even when ur not in a happy mood like a few videos ago the simple fact that u have come to love this show and it’s characters as much as we do I personally love to see and is a big reason I always come back to watch ur vids, even ur non haikyuu vids. Take care of urself 💜
So happy you're back and that you enjoyed your time away. We missed having new content from you, but your TRUE homies appreciate your freedom and respect it. Best wishes on your wedding and your wedding planning.
I knew Sarah Pavan was going to catch up and finish season 4 before Victoria ever started.
you wild for this one lmao, also, i hate that i know the reaction lore like how tf did i get here?
Glad to see you're back! By the way, OVA's usually go by faster then regular episodes and don't go into as much detail, that's why the first match went by so fast. The animators were trying to fit 2 matches into only 2 episodes so some details had to be skipped over. And about you're question on if we get a little confused on what's happening during Haikyuu. I know I do, at least sometimes, things can go by so fast that it can be hard to follow on the first watch so sometimes I have to watch parts over ( I also replay the scenes that I love like 3 times lol). But this is also true for a lot of anime, the more you watch the easier it is to put things together, it's all about practice, if that makes any sense.
That last thing I just wanted to mention was that don't listen to what the "Hater Homies" were saying. It's completely understandable that you have things going on in your personal life that take president. It's the same with us. Sometimes we can't watch a video on the Tuesday that you uploaded, the point is that we all get to things when we can. Anyway, good luck with your public speaking!
Haha she's not back at all
@@SilverFang95 She's got a lot going on right now. Would I love for her to post some more, of course, but it's nothing new that someone needs a break.
@@Lovesanimeand1D Break? By the time she comes back she'll forget a ton of things and end up asking stupid questions.
@@SilverFang95 Dude just let her do her. She can always rewatch it if she needs a refresher. People take a break in the middle of an anime all the time. I still haven't watched the final season of Fairy Tail and it's been years, and don't even get me started on Naruto. I've had to restart that one so many times. The point is there are other things she needs to be doing right now, and we should be okay with that.
@@Lovesanimeand1D Were you recording videos while watching those anime? Ah yes, a 2 month break. You know damn well that she won't rewatch. Also it doesn't take much to have a 1hr break. I would understand if she was editing her videos herself, but she doesn't or didn't at this point.
WELCOME BACK VICCCCCCC , we missed youuuu sooooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and i am sooo soooo sooooooo sorry about the verbal attacks you received, you didn‘t deserve that and i hope you didn‘t take it to heart🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 i hope the preparations for your wedding are going smoothly ☺️🥰 i am eagerly following you on Insta , so it‘ s always a delight seeing you 😍🤩☺️ and i love how you always speak about body positivity , you are such an inspiration and motivation for me and many many others ❤️❤️❤️ hope you have a wonderful day , stay safe and healthy 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 sending you lots lots loooootttttssss of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg so glad you’re back !! Thanks for making the time to update even during your Wedding planning !!
I log into my phone and this is the first notification I see, I instantly gasp and start watching
Welcome back vic,I was so happy when i saw the notification❤️❤️
Victoria, girl! It's so good to see your face again and to see you smile. Hope you can have an amazing day and be happy! 💜
I know it's been a year and I also know not much has been shown since u last watched but I want to say I do miss your reactions. ! So happy for you and ur life and ur wedding as well keep grinding and hope we get to see a reaction soon ! ❤
Yeah she did a poll on Instagram in May 2022 asking if she returned to TH-cam would anyone watch it and it was like 67% no so yeah she's not coming back. She only did this because she was bored in covid lockdowns
Hahaha Vic remember you are watching in another language so when you look away for 5-10 seconds you sometimes miss the details you are wondering about. No worries tho if you miss something we will always catch you up before the next episode but dont be afraid to pause! :)
Welcome back!! We missed you so much,glad to see youre okay
Worth the wait!! Keep up the great work Vic!! 👍🏽
i binge watched your reaction videos cuz it feels like i'm watching it with someone who has the same vibes as me but i feel down seeing it ends in season 3. I'm really looking forward to your reaction in season 4 cuz i know you'll enjoy and love it to the fullest, it has so many libero saves and more characters to be introduced. hope you'll come back 🥹
SHE’S BACK GUYS!!
Girl, don't sweat it! You look SUPER busy on Instagram, and helping young athletes with mental health is your passion, so OF COURSE that should take precedent. I love these videos, but it's totally reasonable to take breaks for, you know, mental health. ;) Glad to have you back, but also, please don't feel bad for taking care of yourself and your work first. That makes you a responsible and savvy businesswoman. And that's something I respect.
I look forward to more Haikyuu content in YOUR OWN time. \^o^/
Really been loving your reaction series and happy to see it picking back up! Shame on anyone harassing you for having a busy life. Your YT content is on your schedule and that's that. Hope you're doing well and I can't wait to follow your journey through S4.
Hahah what schedule?
I just started being a haikyuu homie and watching your videos and its been so great! I never played volleyball but was the book score keeper for JV and V all through high school and I love the sport. I am sad to see that you aren't active on here anymore. I've been watching season 4 and find myself missing your commentary. I hope you being inactive just means you are having a great time in your life and being fulfilled. I subscribed just in hopes if you ever come back to review season 4
Your reaction is like having a friend watching movie together.... It won't be fun if you feel force to do it.... Just do whatever you want.... Shame on haters who force someone when they just watching for free...
I MISSED YOUR REACTIONS SO MUCH, VIC! YOU DESERVE THAT BREAK SO DON'T FEEL SORRY AND DON'T MIND THEIR HARSH WORDS ❤️
OMG I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG YAY
been waiting for new reaction for a min
yesssss finally I'm glad you're back! Edit: You'll find out about Kenma's hair later lol.
Welcome back Vic!! We love you!!
In short, these are the qualifier games for Tokyo. Semifinal Winners advance to Nationals and losers face each other for an at-large bid.
The semi winners play for seeding in the national tournament.
You definitely need to go back and watch the OVA where Lev is introduced. It will help make his and Kenma’s relationship clearer.
YAYYY! SO GLAD UR BACK VIC LOVE U
I always look forward to your videos but I agree that making this videos should be as fun as making them, so no worries if you need more time. I don't mind waiting because, I know what it is to have so many things happening all at the same time, I feel you.
I too would like to text Shouyou.
I'm glad you're back, and I'm even been more glad that you took the time you needed and stood up to all the criticism. Your demonstration of prioritizing mental health is so valuable, especially on your second channel, where it's not the focus. You bring so many of us so much joy, and I'm so glad that life is going well for you and that you are still able to enjoy Haikyuu!!
Glad to see you back, but always always take as much time as you need. People are not entitled to these videos from you. Thank you for sharing your reaction with us.
YOURE BACK!! I’m so excited
I was very excited to see your video after the break, i actually got into volleyball from watching your videos and now i’m the president of my university’s newly formed volleyball club and our very first tournament is coming up next month. I have to say thank you for getting me interested in volleyball and your videos have helped me become a better player. I thank you for putting out these videos in your free time and i eagerly await your next video whenever you happen to put it out. I think we all are very appreciative for everything you do and we all wish you nothing but the best.
Vic went to the store to get some milk :,)
Welcome back!! We miss you! And are glad you are doing well!
Welcome back Vic!!! Looking forward to seeing your reactions (when it is most convenient for you!!) and I'm so glad to see that you're doing well! Thank you so much for creating a space for the homies to interact with you and each other like this. I'm so glad you're taking the space to do Haikyuu!! content only when you feel like it and keeping it fun for yourself :)
Yay! Welcome back! The Land vs Air show the Tokyo qualifiers. Tokyo is so massive that they get to send 3 teams to Nationals. While small prefectures only get to send one so their qualifier tournaments are one loss and you’re out. For Tokyo the top 3 teams get to go but only the number one team will be seeded in nationals.
For season 4, you will notice the animation changes. The studios team changed and of course covid changed everything so the animation is not as good. But for all the wonky animation (after 15 especially) the story is fantastic this season. Can’t wait to experience it with you!
Love to see you're dropping videos again! No worries about having to pause as you watch, been a while, so we understand!
So very glad you're back! Take your time with the episodes because a lot of us will be patiently waiting.
Probably will get lost in the comments here, but thank you so much Victoria. I've been watching your reactions forever, and what I've taken away from it is the growth mindset. 8 months ago I believed I couldn't draw, I changed that to believing I could draw if I practiced enough. Here I am now, still haven't practiced enough to match my tastes but people are starting to compliment me. I may not be proud of my art yet but I'm so proud of my progress. I would have never started without you
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE TURN IT UPPP yay im so happy you're backkkk :>
I mean, as much as you make these videos for fun, I watch these videos for fun. My life doesn't revolve around your videos coming out and it shouldn't for anyone.
Of course I get excited about seeing you post a new reaction but I'm not expecting you to give me anything. I'm just glad to be able to watch you enjoy the show.
Honestly was just wondering why I haven't had any videos to watch lol. Glad to see your back can't wait for the reactions.
Yay!!!! Your are back 🎉🎉🎉💃💃💃
But now I kinda feel like I should rewatch all your reactions 🤔 need to refresh my memory too
as a non volleyball player, it took me so long to realize that u werent saying that u cant read.. like reading a book xD
It’s funny you mention Kenma not even adjusting his step: That’s a purposeful animation detail.
Kenma isn’t physically the most fit player despite being a pretty clever setter. Part of Nekoma’s team strategy is having amazing receives in pet so that Kenma doesn’t have to move much.
wow thats crazy
This is my first time watching this OVA as well 😅 despite the fact that I watched Haikyuu series over 5 times now 😂
Thanks to your editor for not cutting the scenes or fast forwarding the video- it made me feel like watching the show with a friend (Victoria). I do recognise some new characters that will later show up in season 4 and some references that I didn’t get but now I do because I watched this. It really was a good thing you watched this ☺️ I do hope you won’t take a long time to react on the next one so you won’t forget what happened. Good luck on the speaking gig and wedding planning!
OH MY GOD!!!! Today's my day off and the first thing I see is a notification from you!!!! Aaahhhhh!!!
I am so excited. We missed you, Vic! 💗
Great to have you back, looking forward to season 4!
We get confused too on our first watch thru. There's a reason why we rewatch it over and over and OVER and OVER again. There's something new to glean each time and appreciate.
Welcome back Vic!!! So happy to have your reactions again! Definitely take your time and focus on yourself!!! You and Emily are so amazing 🤩
i've researched ' “Haikyuu” means volleyball in Japanese. The animated stories follow the life of Junior High School student, Shoyo Hinata who loves the game of volleyball after watching professional volleyball on television.' is what it said : i'm new here i started watching vic reacting to haikyuu last week and i love it so much cause idk ANYTHING about volleyball, years ago when i watched haikyuu by myself id understand any of it and didn't even finished it and thankfully now i found a reaction vid that knows what's happening and i love how 'the growth mindset' and want to apply it to myself. and when i first saw kei 'tsuki' i already like him no matter if his mean and rude i just love him so much😍😍
OMG! Welcome back Vic!! You don't know how much I missed your "What's up, Haikyuu Homies!" Great reaction as always!! ❤
Your homies will be here to continue supporting you so take your time and don't overwork yourself! I hope the wedding planning is going great for you and Tsukki!
Lots of love here from the Philippines 🇵🇭
How did I miss this... so glad to see you back with your vids! take all the time you need... we understand that you have a life just like each and every one of us!
I'm so excited that you are getting able to do so many more things now! I loved watching these videos in the depths of being solitary. take your time!!!! We all love you Vic
