How Hinata solved my BIGGEST problem (Haikyuu) 

This is the 1st time , I have tipped a creator. I am glad that I watched this. I have relaised this concept lately & hearing someone say it was very emotional. still not yet there, but atleast I have it as my core principle. Thanks alot

Haikyuu is a gift to humanity.

As someone also from Haikyuu said: "We are not limited to only one way of being great" -Hoshiumi

Hinata’s arc literally changed my life. I felt so behind because as an illustrator it took me forever to get good enough to be hired on projects, so whenever I got one my health - and especially sleep - were my last priority. I eventually messed up my arm rushing a big project and had to take two years off, which drove me into a very dark place. And then I read Haikyuu. It was miraculous. It made me feel hopeful, pushed me to get help and inspired me when I felt lost. I’m still going to physio but I can take projects again and have finally gotten my sleep in order and am regaining my stamina. Now my health is my first priority on projects. Your video really hit me and seeing those clips again is a great motivation. Thanks and continue to take care of yourself!

My partner has a saying he picked up in the military, “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.” It’s based on how moving too quickly can lead to mistakes which leads to time lost fixing the mistake, but I find it also applies to things like learning a new skill or even just keeping house. I get so caught up in where I want to be that I rush toward the end goal and end up finding myself out of fuel before I get to the finish line. I’m learning to take it slow - I have my whole life to learn these skills, and the housework will always be there 😅

2:10 *“The wings of Karasuno, grounds his team”* Beautifully said, by giving them all time to take a breath and level their heads, Hinata is bringing everyone back to the moment in which nothing matters but the players and the ball As someone who plays volleyball I cannot stress enough hoe important slowing down in high stress moments can be

My matial arts coach said it best "when you feel like you are suffocating, like you are being overwhelmed, take a step back relax and most importantly is to BREATHE" he taught me that when the chips are down and all is lost just breathe

It doesn’t matter how long the video takes cause it’s quality over quantity man I genuinely enjoy your vids thanks

Man, I have been struggling a lot lately with the “need” to be faster and get as many projects done as possible. I have been toxic to myself and I really needed this video. Thank you!

This episode of Haikyuu always gives me the chills.

I cannot express how much I love haikyuu, it's a work of art and a source of inspiration If you haven't watched Blue Period yet, I highly recommend it to you as this manga also changed my life, and I think it's at least as inspiring as haikyuu

"Health is the most important thing." Something I'm sure a lot of us say to other people all the time, encouraging them to take that time. But when it comes to take that advice ourself...nope, can't do that.

Kageyama was the best player, but Hinata's evolution during the course of that season was amazing

That scene you described is, by far, one of my favorites in the entire series. Gives me chills.

Thanks for this great vid! This and Takeda's "This is also volleyball" after [manga spoiler] have been one of the most defining moments for me in this series. I adore Haikyuu and I think you captured something very special about it.

10 am in the morning and I’m tearing up to this! Thank you for the encouraging words! ❤

I feel like most of the content on RU-vid is designed to make us angry but this actually builds ❤❤❤

Thank you for this video! This is so beautifully made. Haikyuu to me is not just a fun show. When I was a kid, I hated physical activities and sports. I had been an unhealthy, overweight child. I felt like my life had no purpose. I sacrificed my health, my sleep, everything just to spend endless days on things that don't actually matter to me. But... there came Haikyuu. Haikyuu encouraged me to embrace and love sports. The story encouraged me to care more for myself and my friends and make the most of everyday. Haikyuu taught me to slow down, take a deep breath. I decided to sleep better, exercise, eat well, and invest the rest of my time into skills and passions I love. Thank you man. Such a timely video.

Haikyu is the one most relatable manga that I've read. As I am a volleyball player myself i often time find my self got goose-bumped on how inspiring and true the feeling they convey in the manga and this video sums it well. Thank you!

this is my 1st time coming across your channel and the advice that u shared was truly eye-opening for me. I used to stay up late thinking the more i stay up, the more work i'll get done but the next day i end up feeling like shit and regret my decision to staying up late. But now i'm prioritizing my sleep and physical health and more and i feel even better, energized and can concentrate more. So your words hold truth.

honestly my fav moment from hinata, so glad you covered it! and i'm glad that you're taking it easier now, it's definitely something I need to remind myself of too

this came at a good time. recently spent all of june writing a book and I'm actually halfway done, only to get severely stuck writing it's climax. slowing down and taking some time to review the fundamentals really does do wonders.

I was going through the lowest phase of my life, Im really glad yt recommended me this video❤

5:30 - So relevant! I really have difficulty with my time optimism. When I schedule things I think it will take me a lot less time than I actually need and I put in so much for myself setting myself up to fail, then beating myself up for not performing. Sometimes we need to see others go through the same problem to see it within ourselves and that's why I love modern mythologies like this!!

One of the best channels to exist on this platform. I mean, anime is celebrated by a lot, I would even tend to say that it‘s one of the largest communities on social media and it‘s a medium which is so special because of it‘s unique way of delivering an interestingly written plot with a central message integrated into it. Still, the message oftenly doesn‘t reach the audience as probably wished by the mangaka, despite the message being realistic, human and surely supportive for our life. We face a diversity of problems as we scroll through youtube and search for more anime content to consume, also for the use of distracting ourselves from our „misery“ and suddenly, we find this channel. A youtiber that analyses the matter of the plot very well and presents it to us then tells us how we can find hope and inspiration in the stories and characters that we have a place in our heart for. This channel is the best proof for anime and social media not just being pure time wasters and not benefiting at all. You are producing a change in the lives of thousands all around the globe in like the most logical, calming and human way for all of us. Dunno if it‘s just me, but always when I watch your videos, I experience a kinda calming feeling understanding that most of my problems were caused by my very own mentality and so far, always when I was getting negative thoughts in for me tough situations, which I would have never been able to handle before I had found your channel, I have instinctively remembered the lessons from the mob psycho, blue lock, vinland saga, etc. videos and I immediately assimiliated my behaviour resulting in me not feeling down any more. I just wanted to say thank you, you have positively influenced my whole mentality and life in general by putting this much hard work and love into your content that primarily is meant to help others, unlike most of youtube. I really wish you the best and I know that you can achieve the goals you‘ve mentioned and create more of these great videos that will definitely bring more positive changes to everyone watching. Thank you 🔥🔥🔥

It just feels right to leave a 'thank you' note on every video on this channel, hence Haikyuu uploads specifically. so Thank you so much.

I forgot how inspirational this scene was. The timing is pretty apt for me too.

When I first read this part of the manga and even when I Watched it in the anime afterwards, I actually had tears in my eyes just cuz its not only such a major part of competing but also Hinata's Growth as a character. This moment is so impactful as a competitor, because When you compete you'll often find some losses you had, even ones that "Shouldve been Forsure Wins", happened because you "Rushed Trying to Win/Rushed the Win" When you get experienced enough in this aspect of losing, you'll start to notice when you/your team is doing it midgame and that you need to get everyone to relax and slow down or itll go bad, the panicking that Coach Ukai had is kind of a symbol of that. Often times it happens when you/your team "Smells Blood in the Water"(you sense the opponent is weaker or that you're about to win), so people just full step on the gas to try and win, or like what you mentioned in the video when people are so behind, they get desperate to win. Doing either of these things often creates alot of mistakes as well as exhaustion, which creates even more mistakes.

I’ve learnt a lot from this channel, been going through a break up from a relationship that lasted 5 years and 6 months later I think I’m getting over it now. These videos kind of explain to me why I find these anime’s so inspiring and I try to take a little bit away from each one. The most I learnt from was the “flow state” vid. Thanks for the content I hope you keep it coming, in your own time, with quality you’re happy with.

you earned a subscriber with this one! felt like this video was such a necessary reminder

Thanks dude

I loved rewatching this scene because the first time i didnt even notice the screen darkening

Ever since the fourth season Hinata is definitely my favorite Haikyuu character. Haikyuu as a whole changed me as a person for the better

this video hit home to me as a fellow content creator. I recently decided to increase my upload schedule from 4 videos a week to 6 videos a week because I felt like I wasn't doing enough, but that got me even more stressed and burned out. I really needed to hear what you had to say in this video, thank you man. I hope you're doing well in life.

Dude as a haikyuu fan, this video showed me a new way of looking at this particular scene. Thanks P. S. A new subscriber here hehe

In Russia we have a phrase - Тише едешь дальше будешь (Tishe edish dalshe budesh) It means that if you go slowly you will go for a long distance. I think this video is about it.

This is a dope channel man. The algorithm just showed a haikyuu video so I clicked but I love this message. I'm a massage therapist and speaking for myself, breath work and yoga has been a game changer. Just remembering that something as simple as your breath is something to be incredibly grateful for. It makes it easier to slow down and not compare your life to others who started off much better off than you.

This is so beautifully put. This cycle of grinding out, really costs one. It did for me too, and I was close to adrenal burnout. The slowing down process with patience was the most challenging part: sleeping, movement, nutrition support to completely heal and rewire exhausted system for years take's it's time. Looking back it felt frustrating, falling behind, but the harmony that whole experience taught me was to understand my own pace, be more present and how good health actually energizes you to do even MORE than before when one is rushing, being anxious.

Teared up man. Thank you for this awesome video. Telling us that it is never a bad thing to slow down. Thank you, Haikyuu.

First time seeing a video from this channel and health is number one, i got sick a year and a half ago from the vaccine, been constantly trying to fix myself my health ever since and only now even focusing on the basic steps. Sleeping properly, morning routines etc, it makes a difference, even these small things for someone who's in chronic pain like me

To this date haikyuu remains the only anime I have ever rewatched and it feels even better the second time

omg yes, before even watching the video I'm screaming of happiness, 😭😭😭😭 "let's take it easy" is already my favorite line of haikyuu, I tell it to myself all the time, and those episodes never ever failed to change my life, and I have watched them -and haikyuu as a whole- so many times 😭😭😭 I'm really so so glad this video exists, I'm never done being over haikyuu and I think everyone else should, and it really saddens me when I can't talk about it with others because they view haikyuu as a not-in-trend-sports anime 😭😭😭 when it's not! haikyuu is really life changing lessons. and hinata is really gfsjeykyejn I have no words to describe him and my love for him 😭😭😭😭😭 he is so shockingly inspiring and his every move drives me in excitement! he really inspired me A LOT to keep going and not give up on my dreams, I aspire to be someday someone like him who inspire others as well 😊🧡

Your videos point out what makes Haikyuu, Haikyuu and it’s enjoyable to watch! I hope you keep making videos for us to watch

This moment made me a volleyball champion! Started setting beginning off the 2022 season and at the end off 2023 season, to complete amazement from everyone at my club, i was setting good enough for my beer team to become champions! I am now stepping outside the volleyball world because in Netherlands there are no Hinata's. And as a new setter they expect you to only play 2nd tempo. And preferable extremely save options. I really was hoping for my personal army off Hinata's but that never happened. If this army exists anywhere, OikawAtsumu (thats my setting style, but on budget! XD) is calling! Am 33 and learned myself to play volleyball. Next year/season ill be scoring atleast 50 goals as striker. Mark my words, the world has an ace and he has a name.

Thanks for this video. Honestly. I’ve been struggling a lot lately and feeling extremely discouraged, and I honestly just haven’t been kind enough to myself. I feel more confident taking my time with my next video and doing whatever I can to make it as fun as I possibly can no matter how long that takes. I feel reassured.

Thanks, I really needed to hear this. I've been really pushing myself with school these past few months but this week I've really struggled doing anything. Thanks to your video I think I now know why.

that made me tear up. I felt like I needed to hear these words. Tnx man continue what you're doing, you're helping a lot❤

The first video I've seen from this channel, and I'm instantly hooked. Haikyuu!! is one of my favourite anime/manga and its ending absolutely ties in with the notion of taking care of yourself first, and learning from where you're at not where you feel you need to be. (spoilers for Haikyuu's ending from here) The message is learned again when Hinata gets the flu in their last game in Karasuno and cannot play anymore despite him wanting to sacrifice it all, but isn't allowed to. It is taught again when Hinata moved to Brazil, started taking stretching and yoga super seriously and worked as a delivery driver while watching Kageyama play in the Olympics. He's back to being a ball boy, but its what allows him to stand and play at the next Olympics. He got there, it took longer than others but it didn't matter because he got there to stand on his own two feet while taking care of himself.

thanks for this channel for existing! 😭 thanks for this video and thanks for the midoriya in the panel picture!! I haven't even watched a single video yet and I'm saying this, it's because FINALLY SOMEONE VIEWS ANIME AS I DO!!! people be watching anime for the plot, characters, etc 😭😭😭 but no one for the lessons!!! and they be like "don't take anime too seriously" or "life isn't an anime" when I show them the tiniest bit that I'm inspired by anime 😭😭😭 BRO! how come you're here for the OSTs and didn't even notice or get affected by the lessons?! bro so many stuff out there be offering amazing stories and productions but NONE offers those lessons such as anime!!! even regular scenes in anime even when it's not intended can offer such inspiring lessons, like how respecful they are, like how productive they are, like just how their life goes through normally I find that very inspiring to get on and live my own life! it's just not some sort of cartoon, and just because it's animated doesn't make the message any less valid! like in the end there is a story behind it and a person who wrote the story, and the point of writing is to INSPIRE 😭 so anime lessons aren't any different from any other lessons, they are just coming from some really dedicated and organized people, japan. and I'm saying this as a writer myself, and as someone who knows a lot, yet watched but few, I WATCH ANIME FOR THE LESSONS, TO GET INSPIRED.

i remember when i first watched this scene i immediately felt anxious when they were speeding up the game. When i was in orchestra in high school it would be nerve wrecking when one section would rush because then the entire orchestra would start rushing in order to be in 'unison' but obvi we sacrificed good tone and rhythm in the process. But in the show when HINATA OUT OF ALL CHARACTERS was the one to give the players a breather i got so emotional.

You know when something finds its way to you at the perfect moment - that's this video for me. Appreciate the time and effort 💪🏼

This is my fav anime series. It has inspired me the most to get up and better myself and has changed my life forever. You should def do more haikyuu!

I got this video in my recommended at a perfect time. i was recently involved in a hit and run car accident that left me with a fractured foot. I've been out of my full time retail job and it's been eating away at me since then, but after seeing this, i know that my health does come first. While I'm recovering, I don't have to be productive all of the time just to be happy. I also realized how life can be taken from you in a second and I'm glad i'm alive so i can watch this video of yours. pure art, thank you.

Me watching this and then seeing you're at 66.7k subscribers, hoping you're still taking care of yourself and hitting your goal

9 months on and you're nearly at 50k, keep doing what you're doing, loving the content

I'm going to subscribe right now. I had a highkey anime phase in 2020, and I was obsessed with Haikyuu. It's one of the best shows I've ever watched. I have the problem of being lazy rather than trying to be productive all the time, but Haikyuu still inspires me to this very day. Seeing all the characters work so hard to improve at something they love has made me work harder in my own practices for hockey. Knowing that this is my last year playing competitive hockey, I will try my very hardest every game, and Kurasino has shown me how that can pay off. Thank you for the amazing video, and stick to quality over quantity. I hope you can meet your subscriber goal soon, and I'm happy I can get you one subscriber closer to your 50k goal.

Favorite anime and now you give me such a gift. Thats what this series is, a gift. Thank you brother man! Love you and keep moving forward. ❤

Every second of the video was fruitful. It felt calming and eye opening. Thank you so much for putting efforts into this one. ❤️👏

This made me bawl. I'm a currently a first year college student and only 2 weeks has passed but I feel like I've been studying for a year already. I've put this new world of mine in a pedestal, an unreachable realm. I feel like everyone is doing well without having to put too much effort while I'm barely sleeping properly. I've been down in the dumps for a few days now. My family keeps on telling me to prioritize health but I'm only taking it in a shallow manner. Not until I saw this video. Maybe, it's not bad to take a step back and tell myself to take it easy. To not chase the remnants of success but rather build my own version of it. That I should stop comparing myself to other people because they too have their own struggles. Instead, I should focus on ways to make myself happy in doing what I'm doing. And for that, I want to thank you.

Haikyuu is a gem. Im so glad i got introduced to it this year because it really helped my mindset and i dont even play sports, and even my out of shape self now wants to play volleyball lol

Omg I got goosebumps just remembering that scene, like, that is one of my favorites, if not the favorite, of all the series

You nailed this I feel like this sometimes my friends are always asking when I’m going to post another part for my fanfics but I have work so I don’t always have time to just post and I also have other things important to me other than my fanfics

Incredible video, you provide great lessons through these analysis

The bottom line is : nothing can make you happy more than being healthy ! Good video as always, i would recommend you add some text to your videos, it sinks the ideas better.

I remember when I first watched this video and I felt very connected to the message. 9 months later after coming back to remind myself of the message due to the prompt in the johzenji video that dropped yesterday (which was a banger btw) but after rewatching this video I can really say this rewatch touched my soul as I’ve been on my own ball boy arc recently and ik the hard work and sticking true to my principles and staying consistent has and will continue to pay off. Thank you ever so much for making this video

Thank you for making really helpful and growing videos ❤

I loved watching Anime Philosopher, and I was missing this kind of content on RU-vid. I'm glad that I found ur channel. Thanks for making these vids, and I'll be there no matter what.

I watch this every night to remind myself that I'm doing the best I can while still watching out for my mental and physical health, and that's what matters. Keep up the good work!

It is thematically appropriate that this is amongst your most successful videos. Subbed.

REALLY NEEDED THIS TODAY, THANK YOU 🙌

This is the first video and I looked at your upload history. You have been doing this for only 5 months and you are at 20k. You are doing amazing and should be proud of yourself. On another note, as from someone who comes from the perfect productivity side of things, let me tell you: Nether extreme of the spectrum is worth it. As you said indirectly, it awesome to sit down and enjoy life (get them serotonin juices going!). Now if you'll excuse me, I have 5 months worth of videos to go look at. Bye!

This literally gave me goosebumps, im stuck at a dead end job trying to study for something im passionate for again, so basically starting from 0 at the age of 26, thanks for making this video

First time viewer here, and I wanna say THIS VIDEO HIT HARD, KEEP IT UP DUDE, SHARPEN THE SAW!

Man just earned himself another subscriber

your channel and you are so wholesome. thank you so much.

What anime, in general, has taught me, is that no matter how rugged the experience, no matter what I endure, I can always choose to look for an opportunity. Whether I find one or not, I always choose to look for something to better myself in some way, shape, or form. That's the perspective I adopted, and it's the reason why I love the older anime shows like Haikyuu and Naruto.

Man, this just had me in tears. Keep going at your peace ! 50 k will be there in a flash! Stay healthy and live

I just want to say this video found me at the perfect time I'm going through exactly what this video shows. It was so good to see my exact problem and what to focus on from an example from one of my favorite anime. I loved this so much! :)

RU-vid just know what I really need, first time meet this channel with recommendation. And I open my eyes. Thank you!

I burnt out recently and felt like a failure because I could not keep up the production schedule I was aiming for. It’s true that taking care of yourself first is more important than any lofty goal

I used to play badminton and the long rallies wears you out. So when hinata did that perfect high pass it felt very nostalgic.

Ive been trying to make comics for a while, and this video describes my situation pretty well. Im feeling good about my quality, but the scope of my project hasnt really hit me till recently, so i had been really frustrated by my lack of "speed". Staying up till 5/6am, after i get back home from work, sleep for 12 hours. Too much caffeine, burnout. Its not sustainable. I think i really needed to hear this, thank you.

Im thanking the YT algorithm for recommending this channel and video ❤

Homie's already half-way to his goal. Keep it up (slowly) o7

Breath-taking i really need to finish haikyuu season 4 however I wasn't going to skip the video because of it and glad I did like usual peak video and thanks for featuring me in it at the beginning keep grinding 💪

Thank you, man. I have been in a poopy place. I felt as though I needed to run as fast as I can after uni but, this video make me remember the person that I am. "Slow and Steady, wins the race." Not to get all sappy, I teared up man. Thank you.

Such a timely video for me man, always felt the need to be "productive" or I'd tell myself I was wasting time. Always important to take that step back and enjoy life for what it is. Fantastic work.

You got this man, and if you're reading this never forget a slow burn will still cause a fire

Something I try to keep in my mind when learning something new or repeating something I've done a thousand times before; Rushing is not speed. Efficiency is speed. What i mean by this is that there is an optimal speed you can operate at where you will make fewer mistakes and be at the fastest you can to do that thing. As you improve you'll naturally get faster. Honing that efficiency of movements and cutting out the excess allows you to do more, in shorter times with ease. You're not rushing, which leads to mistakes. You're taking your time to do it well the first time, at the fastest reasonable pace to perform that task to it's best degree. How many things could you be infinitely better at if you'd taken the time to slow down and do them right the first time, speeding up over time once you get more familiar and it becomes second nature? Would you have to go back and correct still? Would you fumble still? I doubt you would, you'd crush it first try, a little slower than others who are rushing, but with fewer errors. People dont account for the time that making mistakes detracts from your overall time; Time spent relearning and recorrecting those bad habits down the road. If you curl a weight and can only count a rep if it's in form, how many reps are you really doing in your daily workout? If you rush to lift the weight youd be able to do 20 reps in 40s. But not all 20 would be in form, let's say only 12 of them are. You only have 12 reps in very short time under load. Your arm is then only going to adjust with all the muscle groups to the 12 you did right for the duration you did it right. In total, assuming a rep every 2 seconds, you'd have a total time under load of 24s and momentum would be cheating you out of some load. Now if you'd not rushed and made sure each were in form, and just done 12 reps regardless of the time per rep - let's say 4 seconds per rep. In total you'd have 48s under load, with no momentum cheating you, and you'd have achieved your goal of 12 full reps and remember the correct form for later. This is an obvious win for you. You're getting double the gains by just taking a bit more time, moving a bit slower and getting it right.

Brother, I’ve been training for something for a year and I haven’t reached all the points I’ve wanted to, but I’ve reached many, but I’m not perfect in the most significant one - Just as you said about hanging out and feeling like you need to be working or being productive. You’ve solved the biggest issue I’ve been dealing with mentally and physically for a year now. Not feeling like I’m good enough or where I should be, so then I physically push myself too hard and too fast to “catch up” to where I believe I should be, instead of taking it slower and really feeling it out properly and making it sustainable. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Keep doing what you love, immediately subbed.

It's been my goal to do something with my education and to get through college faster. I'm studying English, so of course, people question me a lot and wonder what the practical relevance of this degree is. On top of all that, I can't even focus on my goals 12 hours of the day because I have to work. I've asked my dad for extra help with paying for expenses (so I don't have to work as much), but he's reluctant to doing that unless I compile a list of scholarships I'll promise him I will apply for. This video is exactly what I needed. I get so obsessed with my goal that I don't sleep, I don't eat sometimes, etc. Or I overreat but do nothing because I'm too nihilistic and cynical about my goal not manifesting sooner. Life can feel like such a slow burn, but we have to find some spiritual/health meaning to our greatest obstacles. Deep down, I believe everything that's happening is for my greatest evolution - it all happens for a reason

i've watched a few of ur blue lock videos b4, but this one helps a lot more than i thought it would subbed now, thanks for the advice

This makes me understand more of the morals of the story. Makes things more understandable.

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos

YEAAAAAAAAAA I WILL SUPPORT YOU ALWAYS MY FRIEND A BUNCH OF GOODLUCK MATE FOR BUILDING THIS CHANNEL

Rewatched the whole episode. Haikyuu has made significant effect on my life. Thanks for reiterating this. I was feeling low today but I'm good now. Thanks

This found me right when I needed it. Thank you.

you just gained a new subscriber with this amazing video

I came in trying to satisfy my hunger for Haikyu content and was just told the most aware and inspiring stuff I’ve ever heard. ik you probably won’t see this comment because this video is like 9 months old but this is probably the best RU-vid video I’ll ever see in a long time. I’m so lucky to have found your channel, keep up the amazing work

I’m so happy going back through your videos and seeing that you’ve crushed that 50k sub goal. You deserve it. Your thoughts and views are grounding and interesting, wish I could sub twice. Super late but congrats on killing the 50k sub goal. Can’t wait to see 100k get blown out of the water. May your gains be full of strength and stretch your shirt brother.
