#he’s the reason why I’m a fan of this show because of the nendo arc!

thoughts on hq1.22-2.10

more of my thoughts barfed out: 1. season1 is so much better than remembered it because i’ve given a lot more thought to everyone’s character development, and i’m familiar enough with the story now that i notice much more details about side characters’ behaviors 2. soundtrack is still as hyfy as ever, once again i’m addicted 3. tsukki was really lucky to have run across kuroo 4. tsukki was also really lucky to have a friend like yamaguchi 5. they just all contribute to eachother’s development so well... it’s almost like they care a lot about each other or something c: 6. i was never a huge kagehina shipper, but now that i’m taking the time to dissect their interactions more, i can really see it. even if canon they are 100% straight, there’s really noone else in the world that can be what they are to each other except for them. 7. ennoshita is so good-natured. he’s in the limelight yet he’s so naturally mature. he always gives people insightful feedback and holds them back from doing stupid things without doing it forcefully like daichi. 8. i was never a huge oikawa fan, but the more i watch haikyuu there’s no way i can’t fall for him. he has a very similar personality to my boyfriend. naturally draws people to him, always thinking about others and observing others’ needs, makes everyone around them perform to their full potential. and the fact that he was willing to help kageyama by giving him a crucial insight into changing despite the fact that 50% of his insecurity and hatred revolves around kageyama - i would have never done that, i’m definitely not even remotely that helpful towards people i dislike (this also reminds me of my bf, lol). the only thing that sucks about him is his insecurity, but i don’t even hate that xD 9. i also love that they included Ikejiri’s and Michimiya’s character development (this is earlier in S1) during their losses at the Interhigh - this was part of the reason i initially got hooked on this series, because it ties in real-life lessons of winning/losing, passage of time, taking things for granted, etc. into the side characters. it makes the world that much richer and more believable. most series only explore the winners and don’t take the time to delve into the richness of the mediocre characters, which is the area that most of the audience can grasp onto and relate to. 10. also, yamaguchi was really nervous and blushy around yachi until shit hit the fan with tsukki. once he activated Best Friend Savior mode he started talking to yachi without a hitch. thought that was interesting. 11. the episode named Moonrise didn’t even have the song Moonrise in it??? 12. the admiration that Tsukki had for Akiteru really hit me this time. this arc had always been one of my favorites (see: my Tsukki nendo that sits next to my laptop as we speak), but this time watching felt different. tsukki had always been a snarky shit towards other little kids, but never to his brother. it was the depth of his admiration for his brother that caused him to completely shut off his feelings towards volleyball. if his brother’s lying had simply been a nuisance or disappointment, he wouldn’t have resisted changing so harshly. it really shows that his brother’s actions snapped something inside him for a very long time. wouldn’t it have been easier to go with the flow of how hard everyone was working? or be swept up by his feelings of inferiority towards hinata, thus deciding to work harder? i believe his brother was his #1 point of vulnerability throughout the show that provided the foundation for all of his character development. 13. Ukai and Takeda have a very interesting relationship that never piqued my interest until now, it’s definitely professional but there’s something more too, i can see why people ship them. i have a lot more thoughts. but. for next time.
