Haikyuu!! 2x12 Reaction

You should see "Free!" It is a very good sports anime about swimming!!

As for the "Tanaka looks good with a banana" scene, I'm not a native English speaker, so I don't know the nuances of the translation, but the only thing I can tell you is that it is just a small comedy scene. In this scene, Kiyoko means that Tanaka looks like a monkey eating a banana(and I totally agree with her 😂). In Japan, we see a lot of cute illustrations of monkeys eating bananas from an early age. “Monkey and banana" is such a typical combination in Japan. When Kiyoko saw Tanaka eating a banana, such cute illustrations she once saw came to her mind. At this point, Kiyoko likens Tanaka to a monkey (because he has a shaved head), but she doesn't mean this in a negative way, she says something like 'he has charm in his appearance'. If Suga and the other second-year boys saw him, they might say the same thing as Kiyoko. As an affectionate joke, of course. It was surprising that the usually cool Kiyoko would say it, but it was good to know that Kiyoko has a funny side too. It makes her even more attractive than in the first season.☺️

ハイキューは敵キャラだろうがモブキャラだろうがみんな背景あるから好きになっちゃう

A lotr poll would be 100% yes

The opening will change Episode 14, best one imo.

Personally when I watched it, I didn't think much of Kyoko's words. I just thought the author put that in as a funny comment.

Tanaka looks good with a banana caught them so off guard, lol. Loved this episode, just like Winners and Losers, this episode allows us to see the other teams perspective, and although it's sad that they lost I loved how just playing against Karasuno gave them the motivation to keep pushing forward. I also always love seeing 3rd years that moved on, still watching and supporting their old teams, I even love seeing that in real sports too with retired athletes.

Tanaka looks good with a banana and the banana suits Tanaka are both valid translations. Whichever you choose you still have plenty to read into it yourself: the banana suits him could be taken as a compliment or a joke and so could the other phrase. I asked 3 Japanese friends so I could get an idea of how it should be understood. None of them has watched Haikyuu, they just watched that little scene and gave an opinion. One said she likes him; one said she is making fun of him, but in a friendly or even affectionate way; the third said she is probably really into BL fiction! So there was no help there lol (I apologise for the third friend who is actually my sister-in-law. That was the last thing I expected her to say) It's probably fair to say it is intended to be ambiguous and you can take it however you choose. It's something to watch out for in the future anyway and maybe the meaning will become clear in hindsight... or maybe not. I've not been much help, eh? lol

That's an odd-looking image of the guy. His eyes look like cat's eyes. His nose doesn't seem well defined. Thin lips. Nice teeth. Hair looks ok. Is he playing basketball on a basketball court?

Your intros are sometimes the best thing in the entire video, the show you're reacting to included. I really love your relationship. I think you're beautiful together and it makes me feel as happy to see you both talking about something as simple as why you're drinking from the mugs you're drinking from, as watching Haikyuu makes you feel. I'm so glad to have your channel to watch whenever I need a lift. You're genuinely two of my favourite people.

Your question about Haikyuu only covering one school year has to stop. It makes me want to answer it, but then I have to hold back because I don't want to spoil it. :D

I'm almost positive that Kiyoko's "Tanaka looks good with a banana" comment is just her saying that it suits him to be eating one, as in, he looks like a bit like a monkey, lol.

MAPPA is currently juggling a variety of projects, which is probably the reason why Vinland Saga Season 3 has not yet been announced. Although the series is a huge success and Takahiko Abiru (the character designer) and the former WIT Studio team want to work on Vinland Saga, they seem to help out on other projects at Mappa. Mappa is unfortunately known for taking more than they can handle and taking too many projects and big franchises. They often prioritize projects that promise high viewership and/or high profits, and while Vinland Saga is definitely one of them, timing and schedule seem to be the biggest obstacles. Other shows in their pipeline have a set end date by which something has to be finished, and if they had turned down a big project, like Ranma 1/2 for example, another animation studio would have done it, but Mappa wants it all. I once made the joke that if Madhouse couldn't fit Frieren Season 2 into their schedule, Mappa would be at the door to grab that franchise as well. You also just have to remember that Mappa was only founded in 2011 and still animates what feels like every second big anime. Here is a list: https://anilist.co/studio/569/MAPPA Vinland Saga Director Shuuhei Yabuta also seems to be jumping from project to project at Mappa: https://anilist.co/staff/120824/Shuuhei-Yabuta

In japanese, that line is more like " Banana suits Tanaka". I personally think the translation in this episode was a bit off.

Totally normal to be thrown off by the banana comment. Most get the thought of "must be an odd translation" but don't think too much of it after that.

This is why a tier list video would be great, I would love to see where they rank death note and hear why they placed it there. :P

In case a few new Patreons have joined in December: Vote here for the show after Frieren: https://strawpoll.com/Q0Zp76z39gM On Friday I'll post the Top 25. Then they can think about what they want to put in a poll.
