Old school Spartan training. Not surprising at all

i think it's glossed over a lot and since it's never harped on people tend to forget about it but i think so too tbh, considering washijo is said to be incredibly strict and old-school with the way he does things and reprimands the players.

OIKAWA AND IWAIZUMI CAMEO!!! <3 i had the same reaction as you guys fr LMAOO. also, the anime actually cut out a bit of shirabu's (kenjirou, the setter) backstory. he studied his ass off to pass the shiratorizawa entrance exam and he's the only one on the team without a sports scholarship, everyone else was recruited. the coach also says that in this particular shiratorizawa team a setter who stands out like Oikawa and Kageyama isn't needed (which is important to understand Semi, #3, pinch server and former setter later on), but also Shirabu isn't exactly passive in personality, he's hot headed and in play style he's steady and reliable and his ultimate goal is to make ushijima and the other spikers stand out, not stand out himself which is what the coach ultimately wanted. these details are a bit more fleshed out in the manga, and shirabu and semi get a little more elaboration regarding this particular issue and more screen time, but it's still there here and it works!

I agree Run with the Wind is definitely an anime they would adore. Hope they can watch both Spund Euphonium and Run with the Wind some day. ( Praying for that to happen 🙏)

Don't get me wrong, I love Sound Euphonium with my life but if there's something in the world that's the closest to Haikyuu they should watch Run with the Wind. Also a sports anime, same studio, same OST composer, same character anime designer, and kinda similar themes, they even sneak a track from the Haikyuu OST in the show and Hinata is directly referenced. If anyone that reads this didn't watch it yet and you're a Haikyuu fan, you should do it now
It'll probably never show up in a poll either tho lol. . At least Sound Euphonium is actually quite popular in the animanga community (specially when S1 came around) just not in the anime reaction community. Run with the Wind is unknown in both.

Yes I definitely believe that the Shiratorizawa coach slaps the players during practice

Yeah, Sarah Pavan and other Western athletes have shared that training is pretty brutal in East Asian teams and they were only sparred because they are foreigners

I forgot this is the episode where Oikawa and Iwaizumi make their appearance and I had the same reaction as the girls lol. They look so handsome in casual wear and Oikawa is doing a Clark Kent cosplay

It is wild how set 3 cones and goes in the blink of an eye.
I think it's worth watching 9 and 10 together.

The shiratorizawa setter absolutely meant literally being slapped in the face by the coach

You would absolutely love "Sound Euphonium",which shares the same vibe with haikyuu. It has all the elements that you love, it's basically high school girls going through life lessons while being in a school concert band. Plus it is made by Kyoto animation the same studio that made violet.
I don't think it will ever win a poll since it isn't that popular outside Japan, but I strongly recommend you to watch it in your free time.
