what should we call you?
shay! omg i am so new to all of this i hope i am doing it correctly

what got you into sports anime?
everyone on tumblr was talking about yuri on ice, so i checked it out and while i thoroughly enjoyed it i was in the fandom for a hot minute before someone said "if you like yoi you should check out haikyuu" and i watched 3 seasons and read the entire manga in under a week

what do you love about your favorite sports anime?
haikyuu believes so firmly that everybody has inherent value and is worth respect--and also that everyone can learn and grow and become better versions of themselves--that it's written into every individual & team arc. the story treats each character with such grace and generosity, and it is absolutely one of my favorite things ever.

which sports anime moment got you right in the feels?
this might be cheating but the training camp arc in the hq manga had me bracing for a humiliation/prove-them-wrong type of narrative and it was so so amazing to be completely incorrect

have you found a relatable favorite in a sports anime?
YES, YACHI. also i feel deeply for yuuri katsuki.

what series do you find it difficult/easy to make content for?
i haven't done too much in the fandom yet ;-; but hq is a lot of fun just cause there's so much variety in characters & dynamics!

similarly, what series do you like to consume content from?
i'll read/consume almost anything i have context for! i'm currently watching bnha so a lot of that probably, haha.

lastly, let your fellow SASOers know where they can find you if they want to chat with you!

YEAH i thought it was just gonna be a lot of meanness & bullying but i should have had faith!!

and i have so many big feelings about how all the other kids were like "uh we still think hinata's a threat and we want to FIGHT HIM", and also about hinata's impact on the camp even as "just a ball boy" and i just. i love the training camp arc so much??? help

exACTly. i love that they separated kageyama and hinata purposely, like cause otherwise it looks like hinata's only useful cause he has this flawless setter, and meanwhile kag's biggest problem is learning to work WITH setters, so yeah, splitting them up make so much sense, man. PERFECT.
