This episode’s star is Kita, our calm and collected Inarizaki captain, and It opens with a comment from his grandmother: Gods are everywhere and they are always watching. This reminded me of an article I’ve read on Marie Kondo and her ‘de-cluttering’ having roots in Shinto beliefs/practices. Here’s a quote that I felt was related: …
This episode, “The Ultimate Challengers”, is more of a transitory episode. We are just finished with the Nekoma match and the Inarizaki match picks up the story where it was left: Atsumu targeting Nishinoya. My memory is only good when it comes to Haikyu, it seems. I kept remembering some parallels between this episode and …
If I had titles for my weekly reviews like I did for my usual posts, I would have definitely picked the word ‘resilience’. Every character on either side of the net have held their ground throughout, and I also felt like I’ve held my breath along the long rallies and suspense. The episode opens up …

I only had time this week to properly sit down and catch up with the episodes and it would be a pretty awkward review if I would only rely on the bits I remember from manga.

Since the review post got unintentionally long, here are my favorite moments from the first two episodes, in pictures! 1. Just... all of Saeko: Taiko groups are a joy to listen, especially live.

After my sappy (and maybe a tad embarrassing now that I think about it) intro to Haikyuu’s 4th season, second cour, I was finally able to complete my real life tasks for the week and here to actually write about the first two episodes, Rhythm and Found. As a disclaimer, my love towards the franchise …
