ハイキュー・Haikyuu! 🏐 Vol. 3

Japanese Language Reading
#39

So cool to read about the level of realism from a player’s perspective! Thanks for writing that all up.

My friend introduced me to a volleyball coach and player who reacts to Haikyuu videos on YouTube (linked to season 1 episode 1, but he’s up to mid-season 2 at this point). I appreciate his calm demeanor, insights not only on volleyball but also animation (apparently he went to animation school too?), and intercut video clips of him doing the moves he notes in his reaction.

Now why did I come here again? Oh right, I wanted to share something I thought was cool while transcribing the chapter.

Ukai fun fact

I had trouble finding the right う and かい for Coach 鳥養. Once I found them I was curious about the kanji meanings. And of course Furudate-sensei named his coach “bird nurturer” :grin:

I love watching Coach Donny’s reactions! He provides a great perspective as both a coach and an animator, and his reactions are very genuine. I frequently watch his videos to relax.

Thank you so much for the link! I’m not much on yt nowadays so I didn’t know about that. Really interesting to get a more professional look on Haikyuu and some more details about the technique and some minor things (didn’t event think about the socks ^^, but it really seems to be more specifically japanese: in germany most players cover at least their ankles and some even wear stockings). Seems like I something knew to binge watch now. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Ok, premiere. Here is my first question…about the word ちゃんと
On page 12 in the last image:

ちゃんとエ-スが居るんだ…

What does it mean here? For me it feels like “so we have a real ace”, but “real” is not one of the translations that jisho offers (the closest would be “proper” I guess?).

Yeah, you got it! I always think of ちゃんと as “doing it right”, which I’m not 100% sure is the actual nuance of the word, but still. Sometimes dictionary translations are not spot-on since context can change the word you’d use in English. But yeah, in this context, proper/real!

Have fun! Do they have good songs this year? I was totally suprised reading yesterday, that the semi-finals already happend. I don’t usually follow it but sometimes they do have pretty good songs.

I quite like to go into it not having heard any of the songs, especially as my friends that run the watch party usually encourage scoring of all the acts on sometimes silly criteria so that’s fun to do without knowing what is coming :slight_smile: So I have no idea what I’m getting myself in for music wise hahaha

Would anyone mind if I reversed the vocab sheet so more recent chapters are closer to the front? That seems more useful going forward to me…

Emotions running high, but only like 3 people are saying anything more than a line.

Should we split lines?
