Haikyu: Collection 1 [Blu-ray]

Watched it for one voice actor, who wasn't even a main character, and fell in love with the show. Each character has his own personality and they all end up growing throughout the show. Never thought I'd enjoy a sports anime, but this is really great.

My daughter loves this series. Delivered very quickly.

This is a wonderful anime.

Quality and price were great!

My first reaction was that the bluray box seemed a little cheap maybe, but it's perfectly functional really.I got a little skeptical once I put the first disc in because it doesn't really have a menu - it has one screen that lists the first 9 episodes so there are no options for turning subtitles on or off. The only version on this set is Japanese audio with English subtitles (which is what I was shooting for anyway, it just kind of threw me off when there was no setup option on the menu).Quality of the subtitles: I like that they provide onscreen translations for Japanese text in the show, and that they place it near where the Japanese text is actually displayed instead of trying to cram it all at the bottom in parentheses or something or just skipping it all together. But if those translations appearing in on the screen bother you, be aware that this set does have that and you can't turn it off. But it's definitely not excessive. For example, they translate the writing on the club jackets once so that you know, but they don't have text hovering around every single time a jacket is on screen. Also, if multiple people are talking at once, they do provide translations for both, and distinguish between them by making one line white and slightly smaller (for background) and the other line yellow and slightly bigger (main subtitle color and size).As far as accuracy of the translations, they're solid. There were a few things that threw me - like how they translate the players' heights into feet and inches instead of centimeters, but that's a preference thing. I got used to the Crunchyroll translations and these are a bit different (the bluray set uses "Tiny Giant" instead of "Little Giant" for example. This is me splitting hairs.) Also, something that drives me nuts but probably is not a big deal to normal people is that they don't use the honorifics in the subtitles. They translate them every time, even when there is not a comfortable English equivalent for things like senpai (these discs use "upperclassman [name]")What else... Picture and sound are perfectly normal. Each episode has 8 chapter breaks and they are in logical places (which you learn to appreciate if you ever wind up with something that doesn't have that).Oh, one other thing I noticed that's nice - the subtitles for the theme song switch off between an English translation of the song and the Japanese words being sung using English letters, so if you wanted to learn to sing along, you could :DI think that pretty much covers everything... Overall I am very picky but this is a good set (if way overpriced at the time of my buying. Over $30 for half a season? lame.)

Nice sports and comedy anime.

You can read other review for greater storyline detail.. No spoilers here. I will just say this is a great series and easily enjoyable by everyone. i have already watched it a few times and is my favorite sports anime. On a side note, I do somewhat understand Japanese and noticed that the translations used by Sentai were off/ inconsistent. Not a big issue and didn't alter the experience for me, but it's worth noting for those that understand the language.

I took off a star because of the packaging. I'm sure this was the delivery services fault but it would be best if the dvd was packaged in a box instead of an envelope. Regardless the dvd are still playable. Not a scratch on them and I am very happy with my purchase :) thank you!

Infectiously uplifting! Collection 1 ends at a good point, though every fan will be clamoring for the next! A fun watch and brilliant on Blu-ray. I didn't see any glaring problems in the subtitles. The only thing I've notice so far is that Sentai decided to translate the school names literally. So Aoba-Josai becomes Blue Castle, etc. I don't like the listing price, and so ended up using a marketplace dealer instead of Amazon.

ハイキューを見たいと思い購入。ブルーレイでも英語は訳のみです。できたら英語で聴きたかった。日本のプレイヤーでは見ることができません。リージョンフリーを購入ください。

Great product and arrived earlier than expected. My son was very happy!

家のプレーヤー(※リージョン変更可）で再生を試みましたが無理だったので、プレステで鑑賞しました。プレステでも字幕は消せませんでしたが、この価格で視聴出来るのなら、まぁ～良い方かな…。

無料アプリで全話見ましたがどうしてもBlu-rayで持っておきたいと思いオークションなどで探しましたがめちゃくちゃ高価だったため、色々と探した結果、この北米版に辿り着きました。最初は観れるか不安でしたが、国コードさえアメリカにすれば何の問題無く、めちゃくちゃ綺麗な画像で見ることができました。また強制字幕についても、裏技を使えば消すことができましたし(^^)下巻も購入済みです。因みにシャープのBlu-rayレコーダーで視聴してます。この値段でかなりお勧めなんで特典とかいらず、とりあえず全話見たいって方はかなりお勧めです！
