Anime only fans of Haikyuu!! really are calling episode 17 as a filler episode just because Karasuno isn't in it, oh my goodness. And they're complaining at how "boring" it is.
Little did they know that they're setting it up for the next match...
Haikyuu!! is a depiction of how life just... works. Just because you're at the top now doesn't mean that you're always gonna be there. At some point, you'll also experience your lowest.
None of the teams we were introduced to won at the end. Some faceless team won Nationals.
Kageyama Tatsuya (Kageyama Tobio's second stage play actor) and Ishikawa Kaito (Kageyama Tobio's voice actor) both prepared their character's favorite food to celebrate his birthday. ❤❤❤
I've seen plenty of "Bokuto stage play actor" tweets going viral. While it's all fun to see Haruto's face, most tweets merely reduce him to just that character he portrays.
Sakuraba Haruto is a college of law graduate from Chuo University. He speaks Chinese (he's half-Chinese).
Friendly reminder that Arita Kenji (Ushijima Wakatoshi's stage play actor) is an actual volleyball player who has been to Nationals when he was in middle school and high school.
You know, just the perfect Ushijima Wakatoshi.
Meet our newest Hinata Shouyou stage actor: Kato Kenshiro! He's currently 15 years old (19/07/2007) and is the younger brother of actor Kato Seishiro (known for his role as Horibe Itona in the live action of Assassination Classroom).
He's under the Himawari Theater Company.
Guys, I'm actually serious about that plan I pitched. About coloring the manga from the very beginning until the end.
A group project. For everyone who wants to join coloring — one page per person. Maybe some would want to volunteer for the page spreads.
I saw someone just comment, "I wait for six days just to get a manga chapter that I read within three minutes."
The entitlement is staggering. An entire team drafts and illustrates an entire chapter for a week, and you, a reader who reads for free, is complaining? The audacity.
Haikyuu!! x Gekidan Haikyuu!!
(Some similarities between the actors and the characters they played in “Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu!!” - things they've done, their characteristics, etc.)
— a thread;
Always, ALWAYS name stage play actors. They deserve the attention more than anything. His name is Kondou Shouri.
He's not going to be Kuroo anymore in the upcoming stage play, that's for sure, but he has made a deep connection with it through volleyball and Nagata Takato.
Friendly reminder that this man is Ushijima Wakatoshi's stage play actor: Arita Kenji. A real life volleyball player who went to Nationals from middle school until college.
Yes, you're welcome.
For fans of Fugou Keiji Balance: UNLIMITED, this is the stage play actor of Kato Haru.
He also plays Goshiki Tsutomu in the Haikyuu!! stage play. And yes, he speaks Filipino.
Fun fact: He's a member of the theatrical company Bancho Boys ☆. He plays basketball and claims that his special skill is break dancing. He's left-handed, can speak Tagalog (Filipino), and hates anything spicy.

Hi, hqtwt. To celebrate the fast-approaching anniversary of the end of HQ manga, let me ask you this: What was a theory that you were super convinced back then would happen at some point but actually didn't in "Haikyuu!!"?
Kaede (Haiba Alisa's stage play actress) found her character's poster in Shibuya! She also made sure to take a photo with Yamaka Mika's poster, who she also played as in the Tokyo no Jin stage play run.
"Even if you scour the globe, there's no one else who can play Kuroo's important role other than him."
— Nagata Takato, on Kondou Shouri [from the documentary of "Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu!! Gomisuteba no Kessen", 2020]
Friendly reminder that it costs $0 to be respectful to a Japanese stage play actor whenever they go live on Instagram and not flood their comment section with stuff like "where are the subtitles" or "I don't understand you, speak English".

The fact that this boy used to have second thoughts about his volleyball skills since he only sees his height as the most useful factor he has and nothing else, and now he's become a V League 1st division player makes me super happy.
Look at Kita.
Look at NISHINOYA.
This is exactly why I don't get why some fans don't like the time skip. But why's that? This actually set Haikyuu!! apart from the other sports anime.
Furudate has managed to depict reality in their manga series, and I truly, truly love that.
(1) ARITA KENJI as Ushijima Wakatoshi
- A wing spiker since middle school all the way through university. His team reached Nationals in middle school and high school, and his university (Meiji) ranked third in the country during his time.

The world doesn't only revolve around high school volleyball. Some characters you thought would continue going pro actually didn't, and chose to make their own path. Some characters you thought wouldn't continue playing are actually V League players during the time skip.
"I don't like that (insert character's name) didn't become a pro player. He was amazing!"
Choosing what you love to do over something you're good at SHOULD BE NORMALIZED. It doesn't always mean that you're good at something that you also love doing it.
Look at Hirugami.
Friendly reminder that Murase Ayumu (Hinata Shouyou's seiyuu) and Ishikawa Kaito (Kageyama Tobio's seiyuu) wore matching jerseys with Kageyama and Hinata's numbers on their backs for a baseball game.
I wonder why this hasn't circulated so much yet, but anyway: Oikawa really had to charge his phone in Shiratorizawa and somehow made an awkward friendship with Coach Washijou. Cue their awkward moment of getting the cup at the same time.

I love every single one of you. Kind of sad that Arita Kenji and Tsuwabuki Toshi wouldn't be joining the MSBY vs Adlers lineup in this run, but I'm so, so happy with this.
(Looks like Emoto Kouki is also covering as Hirugami Fukuro!)

He said that he enjoyed his criminal law classes back in university. He genuinely enjoys anime too.
Apart from being a stage play actor, Haruto is also an idol. He belongs to an entertainment group called TFG, along with Sato Nobunaga (Shirabu Kenjiro's stage play actor).
I feel like people are forgetting that stage play actors in Haisute are HIRED for their acting skills, their looks, and even their height.
It is NOT A REQUIREMENT for them to be fans of the manga/anime. Sure, some of them are huge fans, but for the others, it's just WORK.
Four actors, one role. Kageyama Tobio.
Ishikawa Kaito (voice actor), Kimura Tatsunari (first stage play actor), Kageyama Tatsuya (second stage play actor) and Akana Ryuunosuke (current stage play actor).
Friendly reminder that Daigo Kotaro (Hinata Shouyou's new stage actor) is also the voice actor of the main character from Shinkai Makoto's new anime movie "Weathering with You". He was also Onoda Sakamichi from the stage play of Yowamushi Pedal.
He's only 18 years old.

- Also, gonna add it here because I have completely forgotten to put on my Kondou Shouri section: his laugh is so creepily similar with Nakamura Yuichi’s (Kuroo’s anime voice actor).
- He styles his “Oikawa hairdo” all by himself for shows, using his natural hair. He hates it whenever his cast mates try to touch his hair because it always took a really long time for him to finish doing it properly.
Asuma Kousuke, you will always be my Oikawa Tooru. Thank you for the last six years.
It's crazy to think that his manager has told him that he should stop aiming for the entertainment industry if he wouldn't get this role. And he did, albeit his lack of stage knowledge.
(4) KONDOU SHOURI as Kuroo Tetsurou
- Just like Kuroo, Shouri is a middle blocker in middle and high school. Watch him perform Kuroo’s signature personal time difference attack on one of his high school matches!
Kondou Shouri (Kuroo Tetsurou's stage actor) played volleyball in high school and was also a middle blocker just like his character.

Same uniforms, same scene, different actors, about 6 years apart, but still brings the same feeling.

"Number 24" has revealed its cast, and it turns out that some Haikyuu!! voice actors are part of it!
Natsusa shares the same seiyuu as Yahaba Shigeru (Kengo Kawanishi), Yu with Hinata Shouyou (Murase Ayumu), and Kazutaka with Kageyama Tobio (Ishikawa Kaito).
(3) ASUMA KOUSUKE as Oikawa Tooru
- He has played volleyball in middle and high school, though not as a setter like Oikawa – he was actually a middle blocker. He has expressed his frustration about not being able to spike as much as he wanted to when he played the role.
"Sakusa" and "Cousins" are both trending in the Philippines.
"Iwaoi" is too, because a lot of fans are frightened that Iwaizumi and Oikawa might have the same fate as Sakusa and Komori.
Fun fact: He played volleyball in middle school, high school (won Nationals on his third year), and college (his school, Meiji University, ranked third in Japan). Like Ushijima Wakatoshi, he also is a wing spiker.
(He has left the acting industry, and has no known public SNS.)

Kageyama Tobio accidentally finds out what Hinata Shouyou has been keeping as a secret.
On their high school graduation day, Kageyama stumbles upon the famous "sunshine boy" of Miyagi. Turns out that it's his best friend, of all people.

— an informative thread about the official cast of the new stage run that is now directed by Suga Kenta (not to be confused with the cast of the Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu!! which ran from 2015-2021);
"2.43" is a new volleyball anime series, which will star Ono Kensho, Aoi Shouta and Kimura Subaru (you'll remember his as Tendou's voice actor, Haikyuu!! fans).
A new sports anime, "Skate-Leading Stars" is announced to start airing on January 2021, which is centered on a type of competitive figure skating known as "skate-leading".
And I have noticed that this show has a LOT of voice actors who also appeared in "Haikyuu!!", so here:
