THEYRE SO PRECIOUS 😭😭😭😭😭😭
*zooms in* microscopic boys
from struggling all by himself to becoming one of the greatest setters to have played the sport. he's been a favorite of mine since the moment i started haikyuu, and he will always be one of my favorite characters. i have so much love for him and i'm glad furudate created such an amazing character. tobio has always been so dedicated to volleyball ever since his grandpa showed him how fun it was. he worked hard every day, learned how to become a team member, grew to become an amazing person, and now can smile freely with his teammates. he has come such a long way. I'm so happy we were able to see his journey. happy birthday tobio <3
i don't care if the overly kind protagonist is naive and is sometimes "unrealistic". i want to be kind throughout every situation in my life. i want to go through obstacles and have the strength to smile after. it takes more courage to be kind after enduring hardships than it is to be cruel. i just watch & read these amazing characters change the people around them with so much compassion and i can't help but wish i could be that way too. these characters are also so grateful for the people around them, and it reminds me to be thankful for every moment. <3
"he's better than hinata" doesn't mean shoyo is a bad player. it's been stated so many times from the beginning that shoyo was not at his best, he didn't have the training others did and compared to hoshiumi, shoyo WAS not the better player. HOWEVER, that does not mean that kageyama does not believe in shoyo. even though he saw someone who WAS better than shoyo, that didn’t mean tobio didn’t see his potential. in fact, it made him see that hinata could soar even higher with his help.
we all know hinata wasn’t at his peak during high school especially his first year, but kageyama saying hoshiumi was better wasn’t meant to be taken as kageyama being mean. it’s just a fact. despite that, kageyama still believed hinata can grow even more!
what made shoyo become the incredible player that he is was his determination. he had the DRIVE to become the best player he could be. it was a known fact shoyo was not at his 100% in high school and that is okay. tobio KNEW shoyo had so much more to give. the entire "you can fly even higher" scene is a testament to that. there are so MANY moments where tobio acknowledges shoyo’s skills. there’s even times where tobio is upset at shoyo because he has the ability to be amazing but just doesn’t know how to use his skills to his advantage.
just because tobio says hoshiumi is better than hinata does NOT mean tobio does not believe in him. the one thing that is constant in haikyuu is tobio’s faith in shoyo and shoyo’s faith in tobio.
Hak and Soowon's relationship is so important to me. The yearning , the angst , the betrayal yet the way they still care so much about each other even when they deny that. Hak and Soowon both play a major part in each other's life. They are both each other's goals and they influence each other's thoughts and actions so much. They cannot get each other out of their heads no matter how much they try to.
so funny how tiny and cute ed is and how he hates that HAHA
the matching bracelets. i’m fine.
"If it was... so simple a thing, then why? Why not sooner?"
this panel will always make me so emotional. kageyama tobio smiling proudly as king of the court, surrounded by teammates who believe in him, while his rival is on the other side of the net. from hating the term “king” to proudly owning the title as “the ruler of the court of monsters”. tobio is just so cool. he looks so confident and assured. he was born to be on the world stage as setter. i’m so proud of him.
i just finished watching nichijou for the first time and it was SO MUCH FUN!!! i laughed so hard at times and felt so happy at others. just such a feel good, funny anime. i loved watching the girls become friends and go through life in silly, unique ways. i highly recommend this show!
