Haikyuu!! 1x15 Reaction

I thought he was a literature teacher because he's always quoting poetry or writing his own. I don't know though. He is definitely a teacher and the club supervisor.

"I don't know where the accent goes." - lol, yep, that's the problem for Westerners. Japanese is a non-stress-inflective language. There is no accent or emphasis. It's really difficult for Westerners to get their heads around the idea so, if you have to slightly stress one syllable over the others then ALWAYS stress the first syllable. Like I said, no syllable should be stressed but stressing the first syllable is closest to accurate in all cases.

"he looks like a history teacher" hahahaha

Wait I was kind of tuned out in the intro did Milena think Takeda was a random adult looking after high school students? Because that's hilarious

dont tell us that u watch 2 episodes, if u dont give us a double drop :-(

I am as tall/short as Milena hahahah

Damn, Lola is as tall as me? Oh yeah you guys are Serbian, that makes sense. Weirdly enough that makes Lola more attractive and I never think of the girls like that... Just saying, it's pretty cool

Oh man I can't wait for the next episode. It's been really good so far but for me, This is where Haikyu really kicks off

"azumane" (what those strangers called asahi) is his last name! several of our boys are actually referred to by their last names. usually in japan, a first name is used when you're close with the person but it's also just a matter of preference 😃 so if you hear a different name being used for someone, it's just the other part of their name (to what you're used to them being called) e.g. hinata = last name kageyama = last name tsukki (tsukishima) = last name tanaka = last name noya (nishinoya) = last name asahi = first name suga (sugawara) = last name daichi = first name oikawa = last name also your pronunciations are totally fine, i only remember okayawa for oikawa (but honestly it was really cute LOL)

In japanese school club system, each club has a teacher to supervise.

Yeah, the school year in Japan starts in April and ends in March of the following year. Most schools adopt a three-semester system, with the first semester from April to August, the second semester from September to December, and the third semester from January to March.

the foot + ics on karasuno’s jerseys is a play on the shoe brand asics. the japanese word for foot is ashi so ashi + ics

I just got emotional thinking how much Hinata would admire and compliment Lola for being tall (ᗒᗨᗕ)

Oh! There's two teams that have alternative names: Aoba Johsai is also called Seijoh and Date Tech is also called Dateko. They're pretty interchangeable, sometimes you'll hear them called the first way other times the second way but just know that they're still talking about teams you already know.

You guys getting so emotional at the Kageyama outro is why you're my favourite reactors

Young blonde Coach Ukai's given name is Keishin. Ukai Keishin. His grandpa, the OG Coach Ukai, is Ukai Ikkei. "Senpai" is an upperclassman or elder. "Sensei" is a teacher or master.

the intro I CANNOT hahaha thank you for the laughs as always <3 edit: i think the name you mispronouce sometimes is oikawa (just mixing up the letters), i don't think there's any problem with the rest honestly

Takeda sensei teaches Japanese Literature and that's where he pulls those great quotes and words of wisdom from 💖 I love him so much. Without him, Karasuno will never be the same. Even if he doesn't know how to play volleyball, he loves our boys so much that he begs other teams to play with them. He also begs Ukai (Jr. lol) to coach them because he knows their potential. He may not be helpful for technical volleyball knowledge but he's always there in the background looking out for what's best for our boys 💖💖💖

Takeda-sensei is absolutely a teacher. I have no idea if there is a canon subject that he teaches, but since he’s always worried about being “overly poetic” I always imagined him teaching literature or something adjacent

It’s funny how Karasuno makes their entrance , because in sports movies and shows, the team with black uniforms is usually portrayed as the bad guys with a frightening presence

a car almost run me over on my way back home 💀💀💀 i feel like i deserve the serotonin of this show right now 😂
