Funny thing to note, when the guys are doing their little poses to support Yamaguchi before he serves, most of them are holding up one finger, encouraging him to just get the next point. However, Hinata is holding up all 5 fingers, encouraging him to go for more.
It’s things like this why Hinata is Karasuno little sun
Hahahahaha Nice detail
damnn had no idea
I was wondering why he did that :D
I always tough that he didnt know the exact pose he had to do because the others just told him in fly to do it
‘We haven’t even finished the match and it’s already the third episode’
*laughs nervously*
Laughs in season 3 and 4
Laughs in the manga version especially the last match.
@@trelos7431 reading the manga for the Inarizaki match was pain.
The way I snorted at this hahahaha
My exact thoughts lol
Iwaizumi is such an underrated character on Seijoh team. He’s such a dependable pillar that provides strong foundation for his juniors like Kindaichi and his peers especially for Oikawa.
So basically...Daichi? Lol
@@shbakaien25 daichi but way better at spiking
whole episode was him just demolishing balls. a few of the hardest hits we see in the show are all from him in this set
@@shbakaien25 daichi if he worked on spiking instead of receiving lol
Oh ok, thanks guys
coach: "still waiting for tsuki's moment"
me: *starts swinging legs on chair like a little kid"
me too!!!!!!!! thinking of it always makes me tear up GYAH
thats the best moment in haikyuu😭
OH MAAAAANNNN THAT EP IS GONNA BE PARTY
It's an awesome moment. But...wait for it...
Can we talk about how coach called tsukki "yamaguchi" twice? Lol
Naniii
They r a pair . They come as a package deal. Lol
True like kageyama and hinata from wish xd
No.
Easy mistake theres so alot of characters so it takes a while but i did get a chuckle from that
Hello Donny, I recommend that you see chapter 24 and 25 together, so the message is appreciated more, I would not mind waiting 2 weeks for it.
Up
I also wouldn't mind if he splits the reaction to make 2 videos, but I think it would be a better experience for him to watch both together as well.
it's 23+24!
i think it would be better if it's ep 23 and 24?
Uppppp
Couch Donny being an art teacher and having knowledge about animation and perspectives makes his reaction ten times better
yes and he's actually a high school art teacher so he has better understanding with the characters as students. he's definitely perfect for this haikyuu reaction!!
@Hasan Albahhar and @Marri Ane
I totally agree with both of you^^
The way how coach Donny keep explaining all the details once from a sporty perspective and once from a perspective as an art teacher makes those reaction videos PERFECT
Teacher, coach, player and has animation experience. He was destined to react to Haikyuu lol
I love this part of his reactions. It’s something that I would have never appreciated on my own.
I've watched almost all of popular reactioners watching Haikyuu on RUclips, but Coach Donny's is definitely my favorite.
They received Oikawas serve with two people, because that was their initial strategy in season one against oikawas serve. I guess they thought it kind of worked out against oikawa and therefore did not change it until it was too late.
I think it's because he had such a great control that having three people could actually make them get confused and it was better to leave Asahi and the others to try and end his serving as fast as possible by scoring a spike
But right now, he's exchanging control for even more power, so they can't have that much of the court open so they changed back to 3 people receive.
Something else that's cool is that the serve is the same one from the second set of the first game where nishinoya actually received it and led them to winning the second set. This time though it just bounced off of nishinoya.
It's really aligned with what coach always say: the team who makes the last adjustment wins
Also note that the reason they did that was the teams overall low quality of receives. They used the only two who could receive it back then as a hail mary. Now the team has progressed alot with their basic skills so that more players are able to contribute im serve-receives. Thats why Ukai mentioned the serves of Fukurodani and Ubugawa where all the players got valuable experience receiving har serves. Overall this episode is sooooo good!
They also did this in season 1 because Asahi wasn't a great passer compared to Daichi and Noya (he also missed alot of practice) but after summer training camp where they picked up spikes from the Tokyo teams the 2nd and 3rd years got way better at passing and can help out now
I actually realized that Tsukki immediately hits the ball with all his might and efforts on Yamaguchi's shaky receive is another subtle way of caring for Yamaguchi by not letting the point go to waste.
28:17 They do this because Oikawa sees which receiver is the less skilled and consistently exploit that by serving really hard hits towards them to take control of the match.
Daichi and Nishinoya are skilled and fast enough to cover a larger area, so they make up for it, so they risk less by having 2 good receivers rather than 3 when 1 of them is an easy target... At least, that's what they thought until the serve that followed. But Daichi and Nishinoya were still underestimating Oikawa's serve (which changed since their first encounter) and, perhaps, even overestimating their own skill a little bit... That's when they asked Asahi to join in.
Lol they are not overestimating themselves. They are just using the old strategy from season 1. But then they see that Oikawa serve in this season are different (focus on power instead of control, so he doesn't really target anyone now) thus why they needed different strategy by adding Asahi to the receiving squad
Edit: cmiiw but it's aligned with what coach always say - the team that makes the last adjustment wins. Oikawa has perfected his adjustment in second set, and Karasuno has just made this adjustment going to the 3rd set😏
He corrected himself shortly after that it wasn’t an animation mistake
I remembered that a moment of hasitant can be fatal. Thats why they leave it just to noya n daichi.
You know, the song that plays during yamaguchi's big moment is called "What it means to connect" meaning now he's finally connected(emotionally not physically cuz he's a relief server). He's in the game now, no longer scared of his insecurities, just heart and soul into the game like everybody else, connected.
Nice pickup, I’d also like to add - Although Yamaguchi doesn’t play a ‘position’ in the starting-lineup he’s just cemented himself as a vital player to the team.
That is ost is so good, it’s my fav ost of the series
How do you even know this, nice.
Coach Donny: “I’m still waiting for Tsukki’s moment to come”
Literally everyone who’s watched Haikyuu: “Coach’s reaction to that moment is gonna be EPIC”
Rubbing my hands in glee!
Yeah, right. I'm always smiling ear to ear whenever Coach Donny mentions and waits for Tsukki's moment. Can't wait for his reaction ☺️
here just waiting for it.
He's reading the comments guys. Don't spoil it just yet
YEEES
Just to be clear, at 16:30, when Tsukki "save" that point. That's the first time we see that "seriousness" in his eyes (people who saw Haikyuu already know what i'm talkin' about here). That's another clue to how much he cares about Yamaguchi. :)
And it goes without saying that at 22:05, that's exactly the same. And i'm gonna edit and add that, just in case it was missing, but when Tsukki hit that point at 16:30. He get the ball to giving it back at Yamaguchi and cheering him up. We can see him, slightly "smiling" while picking up the ball. All that point out how proud he is at that moment.
Yep.. i noticed tooo...
Tip: put a *:* instead of a *'* to get timestamps :) 16:30
@@lh2293 Edited to ease the access.
I wanted to make that comment too, so thank you for making it. In that frame when they show tsukki's eye watching the ball, you could see his thoughts "I WILL score this point so Yamaguchi can serve one more time". That moment for me was way too strong
Me while watching this episode for the first time: Yamaguchi give us two points!
Yamaguchi: Five points, take it or leave it.
I actually love the little conversation at the beginning when Yamaguchi comes in because it tells us a little more about Hinata. Hinata says "Get 10 points!", Yamaguchi says "That would end the game." and then Hinata replies "I would forgive you." Hinata just wants to stay on the court and keep playing, that's also why he doesn't want to win simply for the sake of winning, he wants to win because if they win they get to play another game. If they win they get to play more volleyball. That's the ultimate motivation for Hinata and also Kageyama.
Yes! Hinata doesn't care if he scores the winning point. He just wants to stay on the court longer. I loved that interaction between them! ❤️❤️
Yep. At first i didnt get it why hinata reply like that. Then after second thought i get his point.
its a great subtle look into his character. As I think Hinata and Kageyama put it, the winners are the ones who get to stay on the court the longest.
Yes, it was so wholesome
Coach Donny practicing by himself in high school is basically Hinata in a nutshell. Can't wait for the Coach Donny anime to come out next year lol
I heard that one's gonna be a banger
@@magacofi dw the manga was solid
The "bald on bald crime" comment was hilarious! The dry delivery was wonderful.
wait when did he say this? lmao
IKR I DIED LOL
@@blk5772 if you missed that. You should try watching the whole thing once again.
@@cornereymee3488 just be helpful and give the time stamp, not that hard
@@kpoptart9433 it's pretty hard tbh lol.
"Tsukki really likes Yamaguchi"
Yes he does 🥰🥰 A lot of people take their relationship for granted, so is good that you saw that Tsukki cares of Yamaguchi as much as Yamaguchi cares for him!
And that is precisely why everyone ships Tsukiyama.
@@SpringStarFangirl And that is precisely why boys and men are uncomfortable showing affection and vulnerability with each other. Congrats, you are part of the problem
@@SnailHatan bruh, it's not just their affection.
I think coach didn't noticed at 22:56 both ennoshita and sugawara were covering their ears when hinata and nishinoya were screaming. This always cracks me up😂😂
OMG I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT. THAT CRACKS ME UP SO BADLY LMAO
3 girls aoba jhosai fans, actually were there during the last seijohh and karasuno in season 1, that's why they look excited
Gucci's development goes beyond who you're cheering for >:) Especially since they saw it live, imagine that
*sexually excited
@@seanandrews5329 LMFAOOO WHAT
Playing Sports with Anxiety can be tough. Seeing Yamaguchi overcome it fills me with hope everytime.
he *managed to control it. his anxiety will always be there
@@vjersey Yeah. I meant that he overcame his Anxiety just at this moment.
Everyone gets anxious this is not exclusive to Yamaguchi
@@alonsonic I think that's not the point, the comment was just about appreciating Yamaguchi being successful in overcoming his previous anxiety being in the game. But yes, anyone can have anxiety.. some even specific..
@@vjersey Isn't that what the comment meant exactly? That he overcame it by learning how to manage it. Yamaguchi did very well. Haikyu is always so good at showing character development of its characters.. especially those that will be essential to the plot later on..
8:50 when shimada told Yamaguchi that he's already a better player for seeing Ukai on his own.... "then the present you is already different from the old you".... gets me everytime~~~~
Fun fact: when they’re going through all the past games, and say they’re destined to play to the fullest, they’re referring to how every match they’ve had with each other has been 3 sets. It’s literally a bo3 of bo3 matches. They’re truly destined rivals.
19:26 Yamaguchi is actually one of the taller Karasuno players (180 cm or around 6ft) - about the same height as Kageyama - that was just an animation error with the ball size lol
Yeah, Yamaguchi was a middle blocker originally. Kageyama is relatively "tall" for a setter
@@AllTheArtsy oh that’s actually pretty cool that he was a middle blocker
That's remind me he actually in the first team before asahi comeback on the team.
@@AllTheArtsy isn't he still playing as middle blocker?
@@remyraloni8386 well, yes, technically, Yamaguchi's position is MB. Although since he rarely gets court time, he fulfills the role of a pinch server more than the position of MB for the team
Ahh i was waiting for this moment to finally say this!! In the Manga version at the end of the chapter this was in there is a extra page where it shows a little Yamaguchi crow finally flying I thought it was really cute
Uh didn’t catch that 🥲
Awwwwww I totally forgot about that lol
Which chapter?
11:07 Ya-ma-gu-chi. Rule. The. Court.
My most favorite part of rereading and rewatching Haikyuu is catching the poetry of how Furudate-sensei uses the banners of each school in specific moments. In this scene, Seijoh's banner which is behind Yamaguchi says "Rule the Court" and I get its probably a coincidence but as an artist, at this moment, I felt my heart shout because Yamaguchi really did do it. In that one moment he truly was the ruler of the court.
How have I not noticed that? :o It's what our baby deserves uwu
@@elisabethn2893 well I never noticed because there was no subtitle for their banner there but wow I think you're right Thee Cat
@@elisabethn2893 i only notice these because ive been reading and rereading the manga since the first chapter came out 😂 me and my friend had 1 week to dissect every panel and analyze every kanji before the next chapter came out (i had no other social life loljk)
“Man we’re already 3 episodes in and the match still isn’t over!”
Season 3: 😮💨
😂😂😂
But I must admit, everything about season 3 was totally awesome. It's probably the season (in the anime) I rewatch the most.
@@chelatine ya same. Definitely the best season in the show(for now…)
@@Saku_607 hahaha yes most definitely for now.. 😊 (excited for the next seasons)
I was pretty down for a while when I saw the anime adaptation of the match against the foxes, since it was a favorite of mine from the manga and I had high expectations bec I felt the thrill, frustration, and everything else so much from the story bec the team was frustratingly difficult to defeat and Furudate succeeded in giving an ominous feeling to the team, also why he chose the colors of their jersey and evident in his illustrations of them.. so.. yeah.. I'm glad I still have the manga to revisit. Haha.
@@chelatine hope Production IG doesn’t fumble these last 2 seasons of haikyuu, if they do as good of a job as they did with season 3 they will be 2 of the best seasons in all of anime
Coach looks even more like Iwaizumi now that he's wearing a Seijoh colored shirt
There's a reason I'm comparing them beyond the slight facial resemblance, but it's a manga spoiler so I won't elaborate 😅
@Caiman Araújo my eyes must be tired, then 😅 it's usually late at night here when new reactions come out
I can see how you might see them as the same with tired eyes, but yeah his shirt is definitely not the Seijoh color.
“It’s already the third episode for the same match, incredible”… well the next season is gonna be so great then
One thing i really love about Yamaguchis story is that he failed, multiple times, before he had his moment. which is incredibly realistic, youre gonna fail multiple times before you can succeed, and it shows so well here
at 28:12, they decided to have a 2 passer formation against oikawa because he has superior control in his serve so he could pick out the seams so they wanted to just have the 2 best passer pick it up all the time to avoid the indecision. But that was the adjustment before oikawa started launching rockets out of his hands
Yes coach, they're saying "fly" 😂. Other than the in-depth analysis, I really enjoy these subtle reactions. Can't get enough of your short stories in between too!
I mean people regularly say it…
@@ImaBobbyMudda Say what?
I mean they are saying both “fly” and “high.” So I understand the confusion.
It says "fly high" :)
@@sharlesdaviskendy2391 technically they say fly twice lol "Tobe fly high" aka "fly fly high"
thank you for all the hard work! I also agree that episodes 23 and 24 (the climax, essentially) should be watched in one go for the best experience, I think we all agree that we'd all be more than willing to wait for it! 😊 we want you to be able to really be absorbed into the story and tension of this match without worrying about having to edit the video!
I second this
Up up
UP
I would love this dearly
man after how last week's ended I have been so excited for this all week long cuz this is among some of my favorite episodes of the whole series.
And he was sending Yamaguchi vibes for a come back. I was so excited for him to see that.
I totally agree. Imo, the story about Karasunos pinch servers are the best episodes for me.
Among us
Oikawa's ramping up his power in exchange for some of his control. In their prior matches, Oikawa hit hard, but he also rarely missed where he was aiming at. In this match however, Oikawa's missed several serves especially in the first set because he's trying to serve as hard as he can. Now that he's on a roll and not missing anymore, Daichi and Nishinoya realize they can't cover the serve by themselves.
19:51 I also still love the imagery of Yamaguchi's serve being a spear. Jabs hard and fast just like his job of being a pinch server: screwing the other team's balance as fast as possible.
Haha. You said 'screw'.
Also imagine a spear and shield imagery of Yamaguchi and Tsukki, and when they mentioned the 'serve and block' tactic during the Tokyo training camp :)
@@MrChannelforwatching You are reminding me of a part of the manga that is to come, but yeah. A spear and shield for Yamaguchi's float and Tsukki's block.
@@starlighthero6499 I know what you’re talking about and I am excited haha
"tobe" = "fly!"" (imperative form). So they're singing "Fly!" (as in "Do it!") in both Japanese and English.
Ah yes! My free therapy has updated. THANK YOU COACH!
@@Old_Soul_ Hey where did you download all of the seasons if you don't mind sharing?
@@Old_Soul_ Haikyuu is one of the things that helped me this pandemic. It never fails to make me smile or to brighten my day up. It's just great to see other people appreciate and love the series as we all do. Plus, we get to see Coach's entire journey.
same. i always look forward for Coach's reactions. i watch them on Sunday mornings at breakfast 😂
14:40
lol, this happened before, but its just getting absurd
coach just predicted an entire line of the script, AGAIN AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hahahaha I know he paused it right before the scenes that will explain the purpose of the serve lol
I love the intensity from Tuski when he goes up to spike in this episode. It's like he's saying, "My friend is back there giving his all with his serve, I'm not gonna back down and I'm not gonna let you take away his time to shine."
I feel so proud of coach for starting to even name the other Seijoh 3rd years like Maki! Love that team.
"It's the third episode and we haven't finished this match, it's incredible"
*laughing in season 3*
Love how different Yamaguchi is when he stepped up this time compared to the previous times. He looked way more confident
12:37
In Japanese it's more like the shot to break through Seijo's 'shell 'rather than 'skin' I believe (after which they can start the comeback)
IF YOU TELL ME YOU DIDN'T CRY DURING THIS EPISODE, YOU'RE LYING
OH MY GOD CLUTCH YAMAGUCHI!!!
It's not me, it's damn ninjas cutting onions ;-;
the first time i watched this i was weeping so much
@@LetTheBodyFall first, twentyfirst, hundredandfirst. It just never gets old~~
Finally love your vids!!! Keep on doing them, we love them!!! Take your time! And please do 24+25 together, it doesn’t matter if it takes longer, but it would be way cooler:D
Edit: As in the comments said: i meant 23+24 sorry:/
Be patient 🙄
@@superoligarch_official He is tho. I'm pretty sure we're all okay to wait two weeks just so coach donny watches two episode at the same time cause it will definitely be better. But its really up to coach donny if he can so no pressure!
@Kafka Oikawa was about to say that
@@superoligarch_official I know it cringe that we Haikyuu fan being too loud about how much we love the show, but I think coach Donny get it by now, and it is a fair request, it is hand down one of the best episode of the show, and if he take another week it is about the same amount of workload. I just hope ppl don't ask Donny and Victoria to colab on the last two episodes.
@@superoligarch_official can you read? He literally is saying he’s fine with waiting 2 weeks
Finally my boy yamaguchi getting some respect
it's what he deserves :D
Now that Yamaguchi had his moment, I can't wait to see coach Donny witness what Tsukki has to offer...
Me too!!!!! That episode is one of the stand out episodes for me in Haikyu. The flickers of character buildup throughout the series for that moment....... I literally had tears and overwhelming excitement. The episode is so close!!😆😁 Can't wait to see his reaction. I'm so curious!☺
It's just a club. 🤧
@@wella.d7850 exactly! 😭
I've waited for him to watch season 3 since he started reacting to Haikyuu series. I cannot wait for him to witness it. We'll all be crying ;A;
34:20 coach use tsukkhis image from season 4 😅
19:29 i think yamaguchi is almost the same height as kageyama actually
Yes they were really close in height. Yamaguchi is 179.5 (5'10.7") and Kageyama is 180.6 (5'11.1") during high school but Kageyama gets higher after, he reachs 188.4 (6'2.2").
Lol in the shot of the court where u pause and talk about the 2 recievers for oikawa's serve, i noticed that the 2 seijo players by the next are covering the back of their heads.
Probably maki and iwazumi, trying to tease their captain lol.
"tsukishima really cares for yamaguchi"
We know coach... We know
For Karasuno's 2 man receiving formation, they've been using it since last match because Oikawa will do a pinpoint serve on whoever he thinks he can score on him.
So they rather let Nishinoya and Daichi do the job. At that moment Asahi had quit volleyball for a while and Tanaka's still a second year that he's not a good passer as Daichi and Nishinoya.
But for this match, Oikawa is more focus on power instead of the aim, and since Karasuno had improved their basic plays such as passing thru the training camp, they decided to let Asahi joined the passing formation as well
Coach : "Dang has it been 3 episodes,we havent finished the match.."
Me: Cough...Season 3, Cough...Season 4..cough
lol... season 3 was exactly my thought.
try to imagine what season 5 would be like )
Someone in the comments is saying to watch 24+25 but I think Coach should watch both episodes 23+24 since it goes so well together.
Yeah I think people forget what actually happens in ep 25 which, understandable, but it'd be better to check first before recommending the eps
One of the my fav parts of this episode is that throughout the entirety of the show before this, Yamaguchi has NEVER succeeded on his half-time serve. This one was the first one.
When I found this out the last time I watched it, I bawwwled.
Can we appreciate the
"Bald on Bald crime" comment. That was hilarious.
"We haven't even finished the match and it's already the third episode of this match. That's incredible." *laughs in 3 eps left for more*
I CLICKED AS FAST AS I CAN ❤️
YAMAGUCHI'S MOMENT STILL MAKE ME TEAR UP TO THIS DATE
Probably one of my top 3 favorite moments in this entire story.
I tear up every time Tsukki says: it’s not that surprising….. Yamaguchi’s teary eyes don’t make it easier.
Yesss! I’m crying right now actually. He’s so amazing 🥲
Coach ~ "man we haven't even finished the match and it's already the third episode, that's incredible"
Me ~ Laughs in later seasons
S3 and S5: 🙃
@@AllTheArtsy oh god i cant wait for s5
29:20, Coach, remember in season 1 Oikawa would serve in the seem many times, and that caused Karasuno to loose many points. The adjustment they made was to have only the 2 best passers so that there would be less confusion at the time to recieve.
Now that they have Oikawa serving stronger than ever they have to adjust back to having 3 recievers.
It really seems like coach is warming up to Oikawa and Seijoh as a whole. I look forward to hearing his updated fantasy team picks at the end of this season!
One thing to point out：two men receiving oikawa's serve is the strategy applied in the season1's game because at that time oikawa focused more on control than power and targeted at those who was not that good at receiving.
At 26:53 when coach was saying to give your setters to run offence and show that you trust them by letting them set you one handed this gave me season 4 flashbacks😭
This just shows how much hinata trusts that kageyama will bring the ball to him no matter what, then saying give me the next one too😭🔥
I've been working on a jump float serve since watching Yamaguchi. Your tutorial is a huge welcome!
I cannot emphasize this enough. Coach Donny’s explanations of certain lines from characters, plays in a match, or anything else that has a deeper meaning is incredible. I swear, I learn more about volleyball from him than i do my own coach haha. Huge respect! Both you and Yamaguchi definitely give me motivation to practice my serves more often!
I loved that episode where Yamaguchi got to shine, loved his character even more after this!
Best part of a hard day . Thank you coach Donny with all my heart
Coach Donney: posts a Haikyuu video
Me: high speed click
it makes me so happy to see coach just as excited to watch this show as we are!!
"A shot to break through the skin" is a weird translation - Takeda actually says "a point that breaks you out of your shell" (basically you show your true self for the first time). One could say it's kind of a reference to Tsukki's development in S2 since Nekoma's coach used the same metaphor.
Coach, get we get 2 episodes in a row for one day as a surprise, would literally be the best gift ever
11:32 Finally we see Shaky Shimada.
There was one ep on season 1 that coach called Yamaguchi by Shaky Shimada.
hahahah what a throwback
During these times when i've lost sense of time, coach's uploads have become my reminder that it's already the end of the week! (was genuinely confused earlier to see an upload, and i had to double check whether it's actually saturday today haha)
Super enjoying ur vids, coach! Keep it up! :D
lmao same especially when i got so busy and this feels like a breath of air
The pay-off, all the hard work, every little moment with Yamaguchi built up to this moment and it's beautiful :')
Tsukki moment is near. And I cry when I see it almost every time.
Hey Coach, i just wanted to point something out. Now this may just be something personal, but I can tell you from personal experience as a cigarette smoker, the fact that Ukai not only put out his smoke, but through it out all together, is a level of respect that i didnt notice my frist time around. When a smoker puts out their smoke to listen to what you have to say, that means that you have their 100%, undivided attention, no questions asked. That is a dedicated coach if you ask me!
Thanks for being so cool coach! Keep up all the fantastic work you do and thanks for inspiring us to play to our hearts content!!
"We haven't even finished the match and it's already the 3rd episode of the match. That's incredible."
The future seasons: Hold my volleyball.
Tsukki’s moment is so epic that it’s worth the wait coach!
If you notice. They focus on Tsukki every time Seijoh receives Yamaguchi’s serve because Tsukki is determined to make sure Yamaguchi stays in.
I deeply wish I could experience Haikyuu for the first time. Watching your excitement as you experience it... doesn't get much better than that.
Coach mentioning tsuki's moments in the outro
Me: Oh, wait a couple more episodes. You'll see. HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Coach pls do a 23+24 for next reaction. Its way better if its done that way. Ty
Episode 24+25 even if it take it a whole month, we'll wait coach
Speak for yourself, I’m not trying to wait
*whisper* 23 + 24
23 & 24 is better
I'm so insanely excited for Coach to finally get to season 3
I came at the speed of YAMAGUCHI TIMEEEE 🔥🔥
Time really flies by so fast. I can't believe that I'd be watching another Haikyuu reaction video from Coach Donny. Are you still resting well, Coach?
Yes coach, the title of the OP (opening song) is "Fly High" by Burnout Syndromes 😊
I can't wait to see coach Donny react to episode 23 and 24. The last few plays in third set was so meaningful for the Seijo's duo, that was the moment made me fall in love oikawa and iwaizumi.
That rotation of Yamaguchi is one of the smoothest camera moves in this series and it gave me chills. I couldn't stop smiling and it made me think of James Baxter (guy who does great camera rotations). Actually Yamaguchi has a lot of these high quality animation moments and I think that's such a great idea. Like everytime Yamagucci is out the audience will anticipate something awesome (even if it's his failure or his fears).
I now understand why coach Donny is such a good haikyuu commentarist/reviewer/reactor: it's because not only he's good on noticing the volleyball details and making interesting commentary that shows us fans of the anime an extra layer of awesomeness the anime has, but he also has an understanding on animation as well, which also makes us fans appreciate a piece of art that Haikyuu is!! This comboes with who you are coach, making you unique!! That's what I think at least and why I love watching your reactions to Haikyuu!! Thank you so much for this work \o/ We love it :D
When coach said that you should work on your serve if you're alone it was also true for Kageyama. He has such good serve because no one in his junior high could keep up to his stamina and training after Oikawa and Iwaizumi passed out from school. That's why he kept practicing serves.
The way how coach Donny keep explaining all the details once from a sporty perspective and once from a perspective as an art teacher makes those reaction videos PERFECT
Damn he’s such a wholesome coach! Love the content!
Hey Donnie, love your vids.
Quick Question: Have you ever suggested Haikyuu to one or more of your volleyball teammates or friends? =)
Keep up your good work.
Thank you
the way you talked about how much it means to a player that a coach is there to watch them.. as a competitive player myself (not volleyball though), i can’t stress how right you are. there were times i felt utterly alone because not even my coach would come to my tournaments. it would’ve meant the world to me to see him there, even if he would scold me for my mistakes afterwards.
One of my favorite episode all the time! It's so encouraging to see how much Yamaguchi grown and finally shine!
Coach the next opening will be even more amazing so just brace yourself
And they also encourage Yams so much because they’ve seen him work super hard so they genuinely have faith in him 🧡
