I Failed At Anime 2022
I was home sick today and watched all of Haikyu that's out & had a big grin on my face all the way through. It looks great, is pretty funny, and is just a lot of fun. I'm not a huge sports anime viewer but I did like Free, Chihayafuru is one of my favorite shows, and I'm watching Ping Pong mostly on the strength of the animation but it's pretty great on top of that. Haikyu seems to hit a lot of the notes that I like in this kind of show -- focus on teamwork, no stupid powers or over the top abilities (I'd put the shorty guy in the same category as Chihaya or Haruka in that he basically lives and breathes volleyball and that accounts for most of his ability), and hilarious faces. The 3rd-year spotter's face when he was closing the door on them at practice in the 3rd(?) episode had me rolling.

The scenes with the whole team loving around in the most recent episode (of Haikyuu) were my favorite parts so I hope there's a lot more of that now that they're all together finally.

If anyone's wondering, Haikyuu is still supremely wonderful watching. :3:

The character development through this last match has been pretty great. I love that Kageyama and Sugawara can be competitive with each other without being needlessly antagonistic and push each other to improve.

They didn't, or at least I didn't catch it because I was wondering what was up with that.

How does Kuroko compare to Haikyuu? Does it have the same kind of goofiness and team interaction?

Sounds good. I was thinking about starting it after Haikyuu wraps up but wasn't sure if it was the same sort of show or if it was more serious. As far as sport shows go, I really don't care about the sport part so they could be playing virtually anything as long as it has strong characters and doesn't take itself too seriously.

Personally I'd rather see more gay than less gay but that's what doujinshi are for.

I am sure nobody is surprised to hear this, but they have finally announced that Haikyu is getting another season.

:toot:
Now I can finally watch the last couple episodes I was saving because I wasn't ready for it to be over.
