Why are people so surprised about them losing?

This is exactly what happened in "that basketball anime" that everyone loved.

There will be a winter tournament. They will win it all.

And another reason to love this anime, it didn't go the cheap route à la:"They are the MC's, they did their best so they win!" They lost, felt the pain, but will grow stronger because of it.

Best Anime of the last few seasons imo <3

funny, this was the first thing i thought the second they lost. I was very frustrated (and still am). But i'm also glad the author chose to let them lose, because this way i got to feel a little bit how the characters felt when they lost, and it's really hard, i'm frustrated to no end, and imagine how real players losing after so much training in real life.

And besides, the fact they lost means that in the end when they do win (i hope lol otherwise i'll be in a raging state), we will be double happy.

And Oikawa was very, very annoying. Japan exccels in making these type of characters.

In the end when hinata was eating he appeared to be so mall and fragile fuck i felt so sorry for him.

the show ends next episode we wont see them win, and i didnt see an announcement about a second season. so ya it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

nehnehneji said:

^ Exactly!!!!!!!! Man both teams were amazing... but but... Also that post ED scene... ;_;

Shinimiras said:
Btw, how faithful to the manga is this adaptation? I'm considering reading it since I can't say goodbye to these lovable idiots yet.

SolviteSekai said:
so many newbie sports anime fans.

The mc team always loses their first tournament.

This is normal. The shows selling 20k+ copies so idk what you crybabies are upset about. Be patient or read the manga.

mayukachan said:
^ Yeah, expected it but damn. Dem feels.


Spoiler tag that yo. The third show you mentioned didn't get that far.

But do they loose their games just in their third match of the preliminaries? In a toe to toe game? In a game that takes a long time(5.5 well paced episodes)? In a game that eliminates the team from the tournament(I'm talking of the first defeat)? At the end of the season? Rarely.

Well in the end is not the defeat, that is shocking(in a good way. At least for me), but the fact of how it was made.
Examples:
- In Kuroko no Basket, the team totally overwelmed, and they didn't went away of the tournament because of that. They had to loose 2 more games that were basically off screened.
- Slam Dunk, they lost the game but then continued in the tournament, being in the end able to qualify to the nationals.


About a second season, that is almost certain! Publisher doing well, Studio Animation doing incredibly well, TV Station doing incredibly well, Distributor doing incredibly well, Merchandise creators and retailers doing incredibly well.
It will be a crime for all of them if there isn't a continuation. But it probably will take 1 year to give space for another season.

MCs only lose to rivals, so in haykiuu they had to lose here or keep going forever. As no other team was presented to us, it was pretty obvious what was going to happen.

bigivelfhq said:


Sorry but they had more! Shiratorizawa and Wakutami minami.
Shiratorizawa is the absolute king, and so it would made sense that they would lose against it.
Wakutami minami is the new grown team, so it would be interesting that a team that grew earlier than Karasuno would win against them.
You also had the one of the previous top 4 left team. One of them being Niiyama, that lost against Wakutami Minami in the 2nd round, but that in the anime references to it were totally removed.

cruzateu said:

They weren't rivals, they were just introduced in the beggining of the tournament as big teams. They weren't even introduced as opponents.

Example, dateko: They were introduced before their game, and there was already "sparks" between them, mainly the white haired dude guy.

Now, please tell me. When these teams you said even appeared or even looked at karasuno?

The fact that the discussion of the game wasn't being made with the possible next opponents, but with 3 little girls was another giveaway

bigivelfhq said:
In Slam Dunk they lost against "Kainan" and in Kuroko no Basket they lost against "Teikou". Both teams were presented way later in the tournament.

bigivelfhq said:
The first big and hard stepping stone, Shoyo in Slam Dunk and Shutoku in Kuroko no Basket, was defeated by the main characters.Aoba Josai was that first big and hard stepping stone in Haikyuu!! as well, given that the game as until the end of the season, expecting a win wasn't out of the norm. Look at Ookiku no Furikabutte(Big Windup) they fought against their first big stepping stone and the game went until the end of the season as well and they won. It seems that for you that would be a surprise because is obvious that they loose against such team.

cruzateu said:
i know none of them were playing in that gymnasium, that was obivous, there were like 2 or 3 blocks/fields to play

cruzateu said:

As i said, if Karasuno had any chance to win, someone from the next match would be showed bumping on hinata, they would finish the match early and come watch karasuno's match, they would warm up in the same place, etc

cruzateu said:


1.I think you mean Aomine's team, not teikou
2.Kainan was introduced way early, they even had a match against each other. One of the players met the MC and they talked, captain was shown to have a rivalry with MC's team captain etc. The Opponent was in sight before they even went to the previous match
3.Aomine was introduced when Kuroko had a match against Midorima. Then Momo appeared, then before the match they watched Aomine play(even if just a little). The Opponent was in sight before they even went to the previous match

cruzateu said:

Showing some characters is not introducing them, we know nothing about the players of the teams you mentioned outside that "they have these faces"
Again, all these references don't show anything about the players, just that "they won", they're strong"

bigivelfhq said:

- They wouldn't bump against Hinata because they are in another gymnasium, location!
- They wouldn't finish the match early enough to watch their matches because the reason there are multiple gymnasiums is because the games occur in the same time. Also the game was the first of the day. If the rival team would have won, it would have to play the second game of the day with a short interval that wouldn't permit it to go to another gym and than return. Note that we're talking of a prefecture here! The gyms aren't right next to each other.
- They wouldn't warm up in the same place because they are in a different Gym!

Is because of all those limitations that they heard of what the other teams did on TV.

bigivelfhq said:

1. Yep, I was talking of Touou! My bad.
2. You're confusing Kainan with Ryonan! Kainan is Maki team not Sendoh and Uozumi Team. Shohoku only lost against Kainan they won against Ryonan. I'm obviously not talking about practice games, where they lost against Ryonan. There was no kind of rivalry of Kainan and Shohoku. The only thing that was there was that Kainan was presented has the best team of their prefecture just like Shiratorizawa.
3. Aomine was introduced right after the Midorima match against Kuroko in episode 13 when Midorima was in the rain and received Momo phone call. The match after Midorima was already against Aomine, where they lost. They didn't had any previous match at all. Aomine was introduced right before he won against them! There wasn't any previous introduction like you're talking.

bigivelfhq said:

Like in Aomine, that in depth introduction could very well be made after Aoba Josai game. Shiratorizawa Ushiwaka and Wakunan Minami Takeru at least had their names told, their achievements shown even before Aobo Josai and even Datekou games, and were previously placed as future opponents.
Just the fact that those characters were referred more than once and that our team new about them and even saw their results in the tournament, is enough of an hint for future confrontation.

Do you know what an introduction means? It doesn't mean seeing the personality of the person and having him communicate in some way with the main characters or main team. The Small Giant, we don't know his personality, there is no kind of communication with any main character or the main team, and we don't even know his face. Are you saying he wasn't introduced? That is preposterous.

It seems for you it would be obvious for Seirin to lose against Midorima team, he was Kuroko rival, it was the last game to go to the prefecture games(championship league) and there was nobody else introduced at all(well we knew there was other people of the generation of miracles since the beginning, but they didn't even had faces so for you that don't even is an introduction). Ah, it wasn't made in the end of the season, so you were already expecting them to win, but that brings the case of Ookiku no Furikabutte, it was the end of the season and there was no rival team expecting for them later, so it was obvious that they would lose. Wait? But they didn't lose, they won!
