Olympic Volleyball Player Reacts To Haikyuu! S1E1: "The End And The Beginning"

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

You guys.... I honestly had NEVER heard of Haikyuu until I started this channel, and people are CRAZY about it!!! I thought I had to check things out for myself. This reaction is the very first time I ever laid eyes on Haikyuu. Enjoy!

[@scruffyryan]

You're gonna love this show. The author has done interviews where he talks about how important high school volleyball was to him and the attention to detail on techniques and strategies are pretty dang on point.

[@Arxxxer]

Hello! I've never seeing your channel before, but it popped out in my recommends because I love Haikyuu. I've watched many reactions videos about Haikyuu (in fact, watching a few series of people going on right now) and I gotta say, your unique style of speeding the video up and only showing your reaction is very refreshing and super entertaining! I enjoyed this a lot! Please do keep going in! I know it takes a lot of work to do these videos, but this was honestly an amazing watch. This show keeps getting better and better the longer it goes (in fact my favorite episodes have to be the latest one releases on season 4) so I can only hope that you will eventually get there. We all definitely will enjoy this journey with you! Keep it up and I'll see you on the next video

[@iizou1738]

I really enjoyed your reaction!! loved the combo of analysis & emotional commentary. just a side note, your pronunciation of Kageyama was really close, but it should be a hard G (like in dig, good, etc) rather than a soft G (large, general). super excited for your next vid :) I hope you enjoy the anime as much as the rest of us did lol.

[@MasterPpv]

You're in for such a treat! The best part is that there's such a good mix of getting all the little volleyball details right but not over-focusing on that and still having really, really good story and character development, and even that for every character as well, not just the main two or three. It's a show that genuinely just keeps getting better and better as you get further into it. Honestly by the time you get even halfway through season 1 you'll already be hooked, if not long before then. Enjoy the ride!

Please do the whole series of 4 seasons because your gonna love the rest of it, the best is yet to come

I read that in Japan in the early 2010's there was a real decline in high school students joining volleyball clubs, having fewer and fewer every year. Then the comic this show is based on (created by someone who loves the sport and used to play) started coming out monthly and the numbers started going back up. After this animated adaptation came out the number of kids getting into volleyball really skyrocketed! The show has widespread appeal and has made fans of the actual sport out of people who never watched it before, and though I'll never play very seriously I'm getting into playing casually with my friends for fun :) The series is just made with a really contagious passion for the sport that hooks you in, I hope you'll enjoy it, it gets very exciting and it's a joy watching the characters grow to become better players and teammates! Really appreciate volleyball players giving insight on the show.

[@rovidelarosa]

It's the same with Slam Dunk. Basketball was not at all popular in Japan but when Slam Dunk came out in the 90's, there has been a lot more bball clubs in schools. Slam Dunk was the benchmark and what was being emulated by a lot of sports mangas/animes that followed including Haikyuu.

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

This is amazing!! I love learning stuff like this! Thank you for sharing!

I thought Haikyuu was always a weekly series

[@alexagarridominaya6985]

I had a really bad experience with volleyball (it wasn’t the sport itself, was more of the team I played in), I couldn’t stand it but then a really close friend of mine recommended me Haikyuu and I don’t regret anything. I LOOOOOOOVE Haikyuu now and that anime just woke up my interest for volleyball, tbh I’m kinda scared to play because I don’t want to face more people like the old team I was in, my friend always tells me that I should never let people crush my dreams, but it’s kinda hard :(

@@SarahPavanVolleyball very useful. I’m coaching a 14U girls team in Ontario this year and we are using some of your drill videos to keep them engaged while at home. Also, the creator of Haikyuu has beach volleyball themed manga (comigo books) stories as well. He was in Brazil in 2019 interview some Brazilian teams for background stories. He talked to Barbara Seixas, Fernanda Berti, Bruno and Evandro. By the way, I love watching your games on the beach and some old games when you played for Rio. :) Thanks for replying :)

It was a really nice reaction! I'm sure everyone who was inspired to play volleyball after watching this show (including me!) will really look forward to you watching this series and listening to your input! It wouldn't be a lie to say that this anime revieved the sport in Japan and has probably inspired a generation of young kids to pick it up. The author of the series was a middle blocker in high school so a lot of the dynamic movements are grounded in reality which adds to the allure of the show. Not to mention, the beautiful animation and a stunning soundtrack! With regards to the editing, cutting back on the continuous fastforwarding would be preferrable but it didn't really bother me. Honestly speaking, everyone here has seen the show a million times over. Being able to hear from somone who has played at the highest level is what ads to the excitment so don't worry about "talking too much" if you find a lot of things you'd like to talk about. We're all here for the ride and we hope you enjoy watching this story unfold! :)

I played volleyball during high school. Not longer after I started playing in local teams, l found out about Haikyuu throughout a friend of mine and we started watching the first season together. When I was introduced to Haikyuu, l was already a fan of other types of anime, but I didn't have much high expectations in sports anime since I thought l would be too critical about the accuracy of the animation since l already had some kind of idea of how the movements should look in real life, but after all I began liking sports anime because I was able to appreciate the effort that was put into the production and mainly the effort behind the character development and the mental/emotional process that this anime portrays to the younger audiences or anyone really that watches it. Haikyuu will always have a special place in my heart not only because I've rewatched all the seasons on my own BUT because just seeing how some ppl, that were not into volleyball at all, have begun to love the sport or being interested into it thanks to this anime just somehow makes me very happy.

[@vinny0357]

Note: it does take a while for Shoyo to learn to "tool". Loved the reaction, and my favorite episodes that you have to react to are Season 1 episode 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 15, 17, 18, 24, 25; Season 2, 3, and 4 all episodes.

The first half of season 2 is my favorite, but I'm a sucker for training arcs in all anime. I think 2.6 is my absolute fav ep

[@bp015]

1 minute through the video and i’m already subscribing! I love your energy💖

[@Animely0]

Subscribed,I loved your personality during this reaction! I'd say that the entirety of season 2 is one of my favourite You'll learn to fall in love and want to adopt basically all the characters in this show 😋

[@fleurdons3787]

the haikyuu fandom caught another one haha i can’t wait for more reactions !! i don’t have a particular favorite ep but i loveee the tokyo training arc in season 2

[@heyySandmann]

Love these reactions by people that know about volleyball, can't wait for the rest of the show!

[@Sbjuhr]

lovely reaction, keep them coming please!

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

Thank you! Will do!

[@cnynn1974]

I hope you keep reacting to the series. I love this series and it really teaches a lot besides just playing volleyball. In season 1, my favorite episodes are when the Libero (Noya) and the Ace (Asahi) are introduced. Season 2 is hands down my favorite season

[@bdylp1098]

18:04 Makes me curious about what she thought the show was gonna be like before watching, & how her predictions differed from the actual show. I'm impressed, too. As far as I can tell, she seems to be getting the gist of the story much more than some of the other 1st time watchers who tend to get "lost" due to their being unused to subtitles &/or watching & reacting at the same time (looking at the camera & missing tons of dialogues, etc).

[@camilaqueen2986]

Omg I need more reactionssss💕

[@dandsan01]

A calm and nice reaction and analysis, I liked it a lot : ) [ If you continue with Haikyuu, watch out with the spoilers that can appear in the comments..]

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

Thanks for the warning! People are very excited about Haikyuu, so I hope I don't see any spoilers!

[@Hrairoo555]

As someone mentioned, a moderator for the comments would be helpful because there are trollers out there who purposely spoil this

[@dandsan01]

​@@Hrairoo555 I agree : )

[@caitrose2198]

I love seeing people who know about the sport add their commentary Thanks:) I think I have to rewatch this series from the beginning now 🤣

[@Tensai214]

Saw your latest video and now I'm going to watch you watch all the eps again. It'd essentially be my 6th rewatch of the series. Can't wait until you finish season 4!

[@marvilmario2796]

i'm just starting watching all your reaction on haikyuu and i ioved the way you made playlist from eps 1 instead of the other way around

[@tefi1602]

OMG you're gonna love it so much!!! as a volleyball player myself, I always want other volleyball players to watch and hype about haikyuu!! the fact that you're a world champion an pro player, will definitely make you appreciate the anime so much more. the technique the illustrators capture is really so onpoint and realistic!!when I first heard of this I didn't want to watch it because I didn't thing they could really capture the movement, but they really did an awesome job!! It's one of the reasons I kept watching and loving it

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

I definitely resisted for a long time, but after seeing so many comments on my other videos I finally broke down. WORTH IT!

[@tefi1602]

@@SarahPavanVolleyball YES!! And it keeps getting better and better

[@rahzark]

Favourite episode: All of them

[@DeusaRem]

Exactly!

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

😂 amazing

[@normanavila608]

Please continue watching and for sure you will definitely love this anime! Many times I’ve had teary moments and goosebumps with this show. I’ll surely wait for your reacts..

[@Spaghetty]

please do make haikyuu reactions a series on this channel. Hyped to see you react to more, specially the much later seasons.

[@_ray_4]

Welcome to the the Haikyuu Family!!! I hope you enjoy this journey it’s truly worth it! My favorite ep is probably 8 because we get to meet favorite character 🧡 But honestly the entire thing is incredible! Hasn’t disappointed me once ✨

[@raynubee]

I loved your reactions!! The editing with the little characters was cute, and your commentary was fun! I can tell care was put into the video and I loved watching 🥰

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

Thank you so much!!

[@sincerelymarika]

I'm excited for you to keep reacting to this! Once they start really getting in to volleyball rules and strategy it'll be so interesting to have professional insight on it!!!

[@JoJoTennisPro]

Episode 8, 9, and 10!! THE BEST EPISODES!!

[@borhulo9521]

i am glad i found this video. was looking for a new haikyuu reaction channel. it's so satisfying to see the analysis emotions and reactions on others after watching the show. hope sarah watches the whole series.

[@thedeeplestofyoursoul]

I just randomly found your reaction, and loved it straightforward!! I'm so hyped to start this journey with you.

[@minsnail2276]

One of the things I love in this show is how palatable the characters' improvements are. For someone who never played volleyball, it encourages you to think every time they face a new challenge and then feel like you're improving when they implement an idea you thought of 😂😂

[@andtheneverythingchangedwh5234]

Yay! Welcome to the Haikyuu fandom! That was a great reaction! I hope you react to the rest of the series, it's so much fun and so optimistic.

[@mccnology]

AHHH welcome to the Haikyuu fandom🥺💗!! My favorite episodes are 7-8 in season 1! It's where we meet the Libero 🥺

[@thatzzz]

I love your channel. Keep the good work up

[@squaresphere]

Thanks for doing a reaction to this series. I love the fact you're bring a set of analysis to the show because you're a taller player. Looking forward to the next reaction!

[@rafaelleraalciati701]

Really cool reaction, please keep going

[@SarahPavanVolleyball]

I am definitely going to continue

[@ot7biasedmashups]

I really like this reaction! It's informative and it's nice to see her getting hooked

[@victoriapeechatt9633]

My favorite episode, or I should say just one of my favorites, that really got me hooked onto the show, was the last episode of the first season. Just a pure volleyball game, a gold episode on competitiveness and athleticism.

[@victoriapeechatt9633]

In terms of the actual game, I loved the volleys in the most recent season, "to the top ii", I was holding my breath for most of the episode lol
