Um...interestingly enough there IS a diarrhea pressure point, but its not on the head...and its not so much diarrhea as just "you'll shit".

In mantis form my instructor was going over all the pressure points and we were of course gouging the shit out of each other and laughing like imbeciles as we all got bruises and made each other suffer throughout the day. He then told us that below the waistline above the groin right where the pelvic bone can be felt if you could gouge in deeply and downward that there was a pressure point just in back of that bone that would cause serious loss of signal to the muscle groups that kind of keep you from shitting.

None of us would do it in class, but one day I got DESPERATE for relief. Just couldn't go. I just sorta decided "why not?" and drew back for a strike in and downward right above the bone. I had no idea how hard to hit it so I just fucking nailed that thing and tried not to break the skin.

I couldn't tell when it would end. It left a bruise and it just fucking ACHED. I'd shit and shit and shit and it would just keep aching where I hit that spot. I'd try and get up and it'd sound like a fucking wind sound effect building in pitch in an old Wily Coyote cartoon, and I'd have to sit back down as more ass batter would punch forth. I was there forever, just sore and sorta scared to stand. It ached for several days and I kept having to shit for a loooooong while every so often for a few days. Just the least little t hing like bending or eating and it'd start up. Just no fucking muscle control.

My instructor had a lot of fun with this information...

So yeah, there is a "poop point" as we dubbed it, but it sure as shit (literally) isn't in the head.

The stuff I've been a part of as a wrestler and martial artist is more than a single thread could encompass. It was fun, but looking back I'm glad I got out when I did to work on a career. Still...it left me with a lot of fucked up and entertaining stories I can share :)
 
Episode 15

Tsukkis new glasses do look amazing. Awesome upgrade for a match against one of my favorite minor teams. Johzenji is so active that its no wonder characters have to do some amazing. Hinata for mvp followed by Kags.

The song when their third year Hana san is speaking was the best song of the episode. I loved it.
 
Episode 15

Some really entertaining antics this week. Tsukki's glasses are cool. There's an unusually high level of energy from both teams because of the unorthodox playstyle they have. But goddamn. I've forgotten how painful watching tournament matches can be in Haikyu. Not finishing a match in a single episode makes me go "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhh" at the end. Lol. It's going to be like this all the way to the end of the season isn't it? :P

The last match was an agonising read in the manga. It reminded me of Eyeshield 21, which pushed tension and suspense to their absolute limit.

So far the anime has kept a pace that avoids all of this. Covering a set an episode has been more than enough to keep me engaged, even when I know the outcome of a match. I'm interested in seeing if the pace can be maintained when adapting chapters that cover 1-2 points.

As long as the anime doesn't spend an entire episode on one play, it's doing pretty well for sports anime! I don't mind too much hanging over the end of a match into the beginning of the next episode.

Makes me wonder what they're going to do about the latest match in the manga which ran for some 30-something chapters -__-
 
This episode looked a little different, but in a good way

I like Johzenji's team and the way they play

I don't like cliffhangers happening again

noo

Tsuki cheering squad was best part and then the part with Hinata and the Iron Wall of Datekou.

Daichi seemed like he had way more lines than usual, though it showed he's a great captain easily able to calm everyone down and bring out the best in Hinata at times.

Daichi RIP
[/B]
 
Episode 16:
Legit eye leakage when Daichi went down right before the end credits.

Got used to the new OT/ET really fast, this show has some of the best music.
 
Recently started watching this anime and caught up real quick. I love volleyball, I love good sport anime, so this is right up my alley.
 
Episode 16

As Karasuno improves and their teamwork gets better, the story starts to throw more and more actual strategy and tactical calls into the matches. It's nice to see that the special attacks they developed aren't just one trick ponies and have to be modified and evolved match after match to be effective against the different types of teams they play against. I really love how human the matches are too. There's never a sense of "fuck these losers, I just want Karasuno to win!" in the narrative, every team feels like just another bunch of eager students wanting to do their best, with their own supporters, hopes and dreams.

Have you read Eyeshield 21? It sounds like you'd really enjoy it.
 
Episode 17

I love it that the show takes the time to even develop and flesh out minor supporting characters this late in the story. Then again, it makes sense to develop first and second year team members who are in the sidelines now, if they plan on keeping it going beyond this year. Once the third years leave for good, they'll have to step it up. This show is so good.

Why can't Liberos be captains?
Click to expand...

Specialized back row position, would not be ideal to lead the team in the actual flow of the match. I think it's an unofficial rule anyway, not a specifically enforced one. Depends on the coach.
 
17

Nishinoya wouldnt make a good captain anyway. And I also dont think anyone would be good enough to replace Daichi when he graduates
the set with Ennoshita starting and their score divide proves this
. Ennoshita is probably the true best choice for captain for the next year, though we've not really seen Kinoshita play at all, but Kinnoshita and narita have no interest in captaining anyway.

I think Tsukki is probably best choice for captain after that, Yams would probably still have self esteem issues and I dont know if he could handle the others. Kags is a no, and Hinata is a definite no, he has no strategy potential. Tsukki is best overall, though I cant remember him ever doing any dive receives? Hinata either.

Good episode for Kinoshita fans, he spoke and smile.

I just want to see Seijoh play, and also see Shiratorizawa play.
 
Haikyuu does such a good job developing its supporting characters. Hinata and Kageyama haven't even been in the spotlight for the past few episodes and I barely noticed.

Yamaguchi is gonna get his moment one of these days and it's gonna be awesome.
 
Libero only swap into the back row on defense and rotate out consistently, it's like giving your sixth man(in basketball) captain, legal but a bit awkward.

Yamaguchi is really good at jobbing, failing the serve would've been a better outcome than pussying out of it, the coach's anger was about that as well obviously.
 
So in one episode, this show "introduced" and developed a new side character, fleshed out Yamaguchi even more, all while reinforcing some friendships (Tanaka/Nishinoya and Tsukishima/Yamaguchi) through short scenes and laying groundwork for Karasuno's future, when the third-years leave the club.

Having just finished Kuroko no Basuke, a show that failed to develop characters in the main team, that's damn impressive.
 
Yeah Kuroko was pretty bad at developing any of the characters that weren't on the core roster. Didn't have too much of a problem with it though, since Kuroko never went past the third years leaving.

I hope this show does though. It already has the groundwork with all the first years. Even got a manager replacement.
 
I just love how Haikyuu treats it's characters. I mean, Ennoshita has been there since the very beginning but the show takes it's time properly introducing him in a way that makes sense.

Good episode, but if they stretch this match out anymore, it might snap like an overextended rubberband.

It's only been about 1.5 episodes though.

You can't fail something you never attempted in the first place, Kuroko focused on a couple of characters and everyone else was just a means to an end.

The looks Tsukki was sending Hianta were great, and that mention of their private training with Bokuto, Akashi, Kuroo, and Lev. 3rd Gym is the gift that keeps on giving and will forever be the best part of Haikyuu!!.

Wakunan match delivered, Ennoshita time was worth it and showed that we need way more time with the 2nd years. I pray for the day we get a Kinoshita and Narita arc.

So stoked for the Iron Wall of Datekou! and Koganegawa and Mad Dog chan animated!

And they kept it, I laughed. Kageyama Hinata Tsukishima Yams best random minor moment. Also the little Kagehina fighting was hilarious.

That's bullshit.
Episode title is misleading.

I was all set for the "next year we'll getm" hype.

I admit, I thought two and a half episodes of this match was going to drag, but this was probably the best out of the three. A lot of emotional payoff, both good and bad, after an action-packed and game-centric episode is a winning combination for me!
 
Episode 18

I feel this is an episode the show really needs at this point. It's a pretty light character development episode, existing only to conclude the ongoing match and to validate the development of the characters from the last few episodes, and it's mostly just volleyball action without the highs of the last few episodes, but it feels like an earned release from the heavy tone the series had leading up to this. There's been a lot of emphasis on doubt, self-worth, and being able to work as a team even when things are shaken up, so just having an episode where they can play it out and succeed based on what they have learned up to now is good balance. I enjoyed the episode even if it isn't particular memorable.
