i loved to see the new haikyuu art featuring 2nd year hinata who was already growing his hair out and it looked EXTREMELY fluff, just like in his 3rd year era 🥹🥹🥹 he's always smiling widely in training camps aaaaaaaaaa he loves volley and his teammates so much, A BOY WHO WEARS HIS HEART ON HIS SLEEVE!!

New promo drawings by Furudate!

[keep-writing]

it's kinda insane how I started watching haikyuu after years of procrastinating, just as something that can take my mind off while I'm on writing breaks, and now it has become such a core part of my life that I get my inspiration and motivation from them. Watch haikyuu, it's not just therapy, it will kick your ass towards your passion and dreams.

MAN. MAN. I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO MAKE ME CRY AUGHH

The karasuno and nekoma friendship means everything to me AUGH AUGH 😭😭

"this too is volleyball" has literally changed my life. it is so simple and yet can so radically change your perspective

taking care of your body too is volleyball failure too is volleyball

or

every little parts of your life are intertwined with each other failure is never definitive if you decide to try again and work to do better there is no real beginning or end: everything is part of your journey, it is what you make of it

the funniest possible behind the scenes for the tanaka proposal moment

[ymsnrr]

tearing up thinking about the kai special one-shot…. the fact that 12 years later nekoma third-years (and as a whole, too) still keep in contact…. the fact that kryk’s playful banter is still there even though they’re grown ass men now…. and the fact that kai’s words are instantly able to sway the attention of them both, as they did in high school!😭 something something about how precious it is that with everything changing around you as you grow up, some long-lasting relationships will always be there, unchanged, to keep you steady

Haikyuu literally rebooted my brain for free, unbelievable how motivated and in-my-lane I feel💖🥺

[stray-dude]

not sure if youve all noticed but. ive been rewatching haikyuu w my wife. the english dub makes me sick with laughter and im, quite frankly, having the time if my life. i havent been able to get into many sports anime, but haikyuu feels like smth more than that to me at times.

[belatinysun]

shoyo’s pose when he is ready to spike always makes me smile because he is always sparkling and beaming 🥹 he is the happiest whenever he is on the court, playing the sport that he truly loves 🧡

te amo tanto meu filho 🧡

In honor of the Haikyuu movie being released globally, here's the song I wrote back in 2020 a week before the manga ended. I wrote, produced and recorded it in three days with a cheap Blue Yeti microphone. It contains references to many different scenes and phrases.

I'm still trying to figure out a way of making this song reach Furudate-sensei because this song in itself is my way to thank them for their hard work and I think they should know how much it means to other people. So if anyone got any ideas please let me know.

Reblogs are really appreciated as they are the only way for this to reach people and if you liked it please comment on the video as it helps with the algorithm. Support your artists!

my unhinged tweets after watching Haikyuu: The Battle at the Garbage Dump (spoilers included i guess?)

Kenma: "I want to take away his wings. Want to put him in a cage. Want to make Kageyama find him useless." A homewrecker. Just a whole villain

"Are you guys rivals?" *cuts to Kenma and Hinata putting a knife to each others' throats* Kenma: "we're just friends" Unhinged behaviour 😭

Also Kenma: "Shoyo, keep being interesting. I'm so happy. This was so fun. Let's play against each other again next year"

Kageyama setting the ball so high to make Hinata jump because despite his logic, his gut is telling him that he can trust Hinata to jump that high??? Hinata jumping so high because Kageyama told him he can??? FREAKS

Hinata's growling screams followed by Kuroo's maniacal laughter in a silent court. Cinema.

Tsukkishima: "He's someone who already surpasses me" *shot focuses on Yamaguchi* AUUGGHHH

Nishinoya receiving and immediately moving out of the way for the spikers because Kageyama once told him off for blocking the the path. Furudate sensei, I can't thank you enough for your writing

OH two things about the cinematography that I really liked:

1) they focused so much on how shaken Hinata is as he finds it harder and harder to score for the team. the closeups on his shaky breaths, his facial expressions >>>

2) there was a point when only one person's heavy breathing could be heard. I don't recognise their voices that well. But then they shift to a first person pov from Kenma, focusing on how he is getting more exhausted with every pass. He could barely keep up. Hinata (and Karasuno) was tiring him out because Hinata promised he would do that. It doesn't matter that Kenma doesn't like feeling tired or sweating. Hinata promised to be so interesting that Kenma would not stop trying even past exhausting himself. "I don't want it to end yet"

Furudate sensei, I hope your pillow is always cold on both sides and your blanket's always warm

___________________________________________ this scene will always send me smiling in a bittersweet manner (it was so touching seeing it animated)

literally watching the haikyuu: battle of the garbage dump movie was such a highlight of 2024, like THANK YOU THANK YOU FURUDATE SENSEI. i heard the next movie (or is it a season) was going to be the undrawn part of the manga which is the argentina vs japan national theme play!!!! im excited!!

and can i just say how much hinata has improved? he grew so much, and i feel so proud (my brain decides to remind me that they are all fictional) but anyways, he used to be a small scrawny boy who dreams of volleyball all day and night, and now, he is a national level player, with all his skillsets polished. this character growth >>>>

and finally to this man who believed they could, who relentlessly begged for coach ukai to come coach them because he knew their potential, for stepping into the discomfort of a new territory. there is no one prouder of the boys than him

honestly, what cemented ennoshita as my top fave hq character was that he became a physical therapist.

initially, i loved him a lot because his story of running away but coming back to face it all resonated with me. also he's really cute hehe. however, i have a lot of love for allied health/rehab professionals and what they do. it's not easy, despite what some people may think.

for context, i'm a speech-language pathology student. i frequently meet other physical therapy and occupational therapy students, and i really respect what they do (physical therapists, in particular, because i still struggle to wrap my head around all the kinds of things under their scope).

so, when i saw "ennoshita chikara (22) physical therapist" i downright screamed in joy at the allied health representation, and how fitting it is for ennoshita to be in that field.

"ah, he's pretty dedicated to his job, huh?" I KNOW IT'S JUST ONE LINE BUT 😭 i admire service-oriented people driven by genuine love, and ennoshita is just THAT. to him, it's not being flashy or getting something in return. he will stay committed and do his best to be reliable.

furthermore, ennoshita is amazing at reading and understanding people. that is such an important trait to have when interacting with clients. all disabilities greatly impact one's life; the last thing anyone needs is a dismissive and inconsiderate care provider.

it makes me so happy that he ends up here. all his strengths and growth as a high school volleyball player translated well into his future occupation.

also, it's so sweet to see that there are opportunities for him to reconnect with his love for volleyball, despite no longer being a player. the captain in him definitely comes out when talking to clients involved in sports!

anyway, thank you furudate-sensei for ennoshita chikara (22) physical therapist.
