Review: Haikyu!! vol. 12

By Dustin Cabeal

If you haven’t watched the anime and are just reading the manga, then this is an important volume to pick up. I feel that with most of Haikyu!! you can actually miss a volume here and there and be okay since the tournaments are so drawn out, but this is not a volume to be missed. While it’s not as strong as the last volume, it does begin the second tournament which determines who goes to nationals and since that’s the team’s goal… well, it’s important to start the journey with them.

Review: Haikyu!! Vol. 11

By Dustin Cabeal

One thing I didn’t take into account when I swore off reviewing Haikyu!! In manga format, was the possibility of it getting good. When last I left the series, I was kind of bored because the drama hinges on you not knowing what’s going to happen in the matches. It was too much for the first major arc as it stretched itself out a bit too much thanks to the shonen style. The battle between Karasuno and Blue Castle ends up feeling dull when going through it a second time. Perhaps the same will happen when Karasuno reaches its next big opponent, but I’ll have to wait and see.

Review: Haikyu!! vol. 9 & 10

By Dustin Cabeal

After my last review for Haikyu!! I decided I didn’t like reading the manga as much as I liked watching the anime. That hasn’t changed, but right now I’m not watching the anime because its third season is over and so reading these two volumes filled the Haikyu!! hole in my heart now.

Unboxing: Loot Anime - February 2017

By Dustin Cabeal

A mother fucking light novel. Fuck light novels. Either give me a full sized novel or manga. Why not a movie in one of these damn boxes? Sorry, I'm just frustrated because the anime boxes usually don't offend me or disappoint me as much. It's kind of either excitement or "I don't know this anime....". This time around, I knew everything, and it was all disappointing with the exception of the shirt. The shirt was really good.

Review: Haikyu!! Vol. 8

By Dustin Cabeal

Unfortunately, I think this is where I get off the train on Haikyu!! in manga form. Don’t get me wrong, it’s really good, but once you’ve watched as much of the anime as I have, it really lacks in comparison. To the point that even this conclusion to what was the first season of the show, just didn’t have the same power.

Review: Haikyu!! vol. 1 through 7

By Dustin Cabeal

I don’t particularly like reviewing a bunch of manga together, but this is a series that I fell behind on and then got caught up on all in the same day. I didn’t see the point of writing seven reviews that will all say pretty much the same thing. That and the fact that I’m watching the anime and have no idea which came first the chicken or the egg, and I don’t particularly care.
