EARLY ACCESS Haikyuu Season 1 Episode 25 Reaction

And Interhigh is completely different from Spring Tournament. Both have their own nationals. As they are completely different, the national level tournaments USUALLY are in Tokyo Stadium. BUT sometimes, the venues change.

To those who are interested about Japan HS School Year, here's a what I know (a little) They do start in Spring, and it's for a good reason. Here me out, they start in Spring (春 Haru) as it is symbolic, they believe it's a good start for "growth" for the students. But to those who are confused with the Calendar, Spring Tournament is only called so because the finals end in early spring which is like mid-march. The new school year starts in April (it's the middle of Spring Season where Sakura is at its best bloom, which is why you can see in a lot of Gakuen-focused animes where they always take photos during their entrance ceremonies on the school gates where Sakura trees are present, always). I hope this clears somethings!

Guys, please avoid the title of season 3, it's spoilery

That Tangerine-kun shine <3 season 4 will be epic

Only 1 team from Miyagi goes to the Spring Tournament, so they have to play qualifiers in Miyagi, and it's almost exactly like the InterHigh qualifiers/preliminaries that just ended.

BTW, don't get too fixated on 1 season = 1 school year thing, Season 2 starts after like maybe a 1 month timeskip. That's why binging this show is so appropriate considering the structure of the story. Eg. when season 3 was airing, i just waited for it to end so I could binge it. Haikyuu is just better binged. Looking forward to your S2 reactions!

Ousmane Dembele

you guys are not ready lol

It's pretty subtle, but in the scene with Dateko's seniors talking to Aone and Futakuchi after they lost, it sort of implies that they are choosing to leave the team. That is the most obvious part of the 2 seasons in a school year thing.

I hope they see this- you said it so well!

The only OVAs im seeing are all somewhat after the begining of season 2... Am I missing any other???

VinterSvart

Prepare your hearts--season 2 is incoming HOT!! There's no time to rest, and every waking moment must be dedicated to self-improvement. Karasuno FTW!

When you read the manga too so you know what's coming next Friday... I can't wait for season 4! It's going to be epic!

Least fav Haikyuu episode :/

I totally get what Caleb said about the raw frustration and need to express it by yelling and running around sometimes. I’ve had a long career as a competitive swimmer, and I found Hinata’s and Kageyama’s outbursts to be so relatable. I’ve totally done that myself before, and it’s liberating to say the least. Haikyuu hits you right in the feels without going overboard. Can’t wait for season 2, it’s my personal favourite :3

High school seniors are 'expected' to leave their clubs before the spring tournament and devote their time to studies. And you know how heavy those pressures can be on the japanese.

dale cunningham

Aw man, I can't wait for you guys to start react to season 2! I'm so excited!

Of course! We're hooked!!

Are you guys going to continue Season 2 after the OVA for next week?

Seasons in Japan occur in different months than in North America. School year in Japan begins in April. To explain it simply, there are 2 national tournaments for each year. The first is the Interhigh (April to August for volleyball), which Shiratorizawa won the Miyagi qualifiers for and went to, at the end of the first season. The second is Spring Tournament (September to January for volleyball). All teams in each prefecture try to qualify for both. This means every high school volleyball player has 6 chances total to make it to a national tournament throughout their three years of high school. University entrance exams in Japan is held in January, which is also when the finals of the Spring Tournament take place, which means there won't be much time left for the third years to study for that exams if they participate in the Spring Tournament.

I absolutely love it how you paid so much attention to connections in particular in the end of the discussion, because the word 繋ぐ (tsuganu = to connect) can really be seen in various important quotes and scenes all throughout Haikyuu, and so that just shows that you hit the right point. Can’t wait for you guys to find out what the second season has it stock. Good luck and brace yourselves! :D

TrianaNero
