Of all names in manga, I like Haikyuu names the best because they manage to fit the characters while still staying actual not completely out of the blue names, so here are (some) of the name meanings :
日向 翔陽, Hinata Shōyō. 'Hi'日 means sun or day, while 'nata'向 means to face, defy, confront or tend towards to. Together, they're used to say "a sunny place", but it's interesting to think that Hinata with his jumps is also defying or being draw to the sun.
'Shō'翔 is the radical of 翔る、which means to soar, to fly, to run or to dash. It also used to be in 翔ぶ、but it's not used anymore (it has been replaced with another kanji which... You'll see lmao), which means to jump or to leap. 'yō'陽 is generally meant to say "sunlight" but only when it's pronounced 'hi', while when pronounced 'yō', it means the Yang, so the positive, or an open space. Hinata has a very sunny name :').
影山 飛雄、Kageyama Tobio. There's two kanjis for "shadow", both pronounced Kage, but the one used in his name is 影, which has slightly different meanings. It means shadow, silhouette, reflection, presence or star/moonlight. Silhouette is cool, since Kageyama has always been this great king that everyone knows of, presence is interesting ("as long as I'm here..."), and the moonlight one shows that he's a counterpart to Hinata's sunlight. 'Yama' 山 means mountain. Now, Kageyama is a very common Japanese last name, but together they form the mountains shadow, or a shadowy mountain... So the name has like "impressive great king" connotations.
'Tobi' 飛 is one of the most used kanjis in the whole manga. You know that kanji I talked about earlier, which used to mean to jump or leap ? Well, it was replaced by this one. So the first kanji in Hinata's first name was replaced by the first kanji in Kageyama's name in the verb "to jump, to leap, to fly". It's also the kanji that's used in Karasuno's banner, Fly. 飛ベ。'O'雄 is very common in boy's first names in Japan (it's also used in Natsuo from mha for example). It means masculine, leader, superiority or excellence. So it's pretty weighted since Kageyama is this representation of complete natural superiority and talent.
月島 京, Tsukishima Kei. The first kanji of his name, 'Tsuki' 月 (do not exchange with Yamaguchi's nickname Tsukki, which is written in hiragana and not in kanji) means moon or month. It's both a reference to his personality and to be Hinata's counterpart, and it was already discussed in the anime. 'Shima' 島 means island, and it might be a reference to his isolated nature ? Also interesting to note that it has a strong resemblance to 'Tori' 鳥, the kanji for bird.
'Kei' 京 is just one of the kanjis pronounced Kei, which apparently sucks for him cause his first worry of the moment was that everyone was gonna ask him how to write his name since it was a new year :'). Like, I'm not kidding, there's 16 kanjis pronounced Kei. This one, anyway, means capital or 10^16. It's the second kanji in Tōkyō (東京), and I have no idea why the Japanese have a word for ten thousand billion.
山口 忠, Yamaguchi Tadashi. Finally, my favourite ! Yama still means mountain, and 'Guchi' 口 means mouth. It was chosen because of Yamaguchi's arc, which was about greed and pride, to show his unending greed : he's ready to swallow a mountain basically.
'Tadashi' 忠 means loyalty, devotion, faithfulness. It was probably chosen as a sign of both his loyalty to Tsukishima and to Karasuno !
I'm gonna stop at those four for now, but if you want others just say so, i'll get right on it !
Ah, I see. Thank you for your honesty. Please, take as much as you need. There will be enough for everyone.
A change of scenery. Simple, but marvelous.
A glimpse into your future, for you brave souls! (Divination is tricky business, tread carefully my dear!)
Knowledge from the universe, eh? Perhaps this will be of interest to you.
Rest for the weary, right this way. It's a personal favourite of mine.
A home-cooked meal you say? I like how you think! A labour of love worth savoring (and sharing with friends!)

Two identical infants lay in the cradle. “One you bore, the other is a Changeling. Choose wisely,” the Fae’s voice echoed from the shadows. “I’m taking both my children,” the mother said defiantly.

One of the most important things about mcr, and what makes mcr so awesome, is that not one single member is cool. Not one of them! They are all so fucking lame and weird.
Gerard gets asked about his artistic inspirations and he goes on a rant about Joan of Arc and squid. In lotms he had a perfect replica of some Lord of the Rings sword in his room and a notebook labeled 'Star Wars Notes'. There's literally too much to list.
Mikey is a shivery chihuahua of a human being who got more ass than anyone else in the band and got his first bass by stealing it from Gerard's ex and used to tuck his hair under his glasses and stalked his favorite band up and down the east coast. After he got famous he would invite random dudes he met of WoW to his real life house. His favorite book is IT, and as someone else who's favorite book is IT, that's not a hallmark of a well adjusted human being. He got asked for a joke in an interview and the best he came up with was "a man walks into a bar... and says ouch! :)"
Frank dropped out of a psychology program at rutgers to live in a van with 2 dudes who didn't shower. He's a perpetual motion machine of a man who said in some interview that when he got bored on tour he started reading the hotel shampoo and toothpaste ingredients list for something to do. He posted his whole ass on instagram and cries after shows. He wrote a song inflammatory enough to get the secret service on his ass and his dad drummed on tour for kiss and was maybe the last person to speak to John Lennon.
People like to act like Ray's the normal, well adjusted, cool one. He carried a spider-man action figure with him for like a year. He collected Pokémon plushies well into his 20s. He went to fucking film school and got an alfred hitchcock tattoo and made a movie abt a guy who ate eggs and went insane. We all saw the mr. Pea(Nuts) thing he posted like last week. We've all seen the pictures with James Dewees.
All four of them had an interview with a porn mag and wouldnt shut up about dnd. They wouldn't write a song for twilight but they did for Yo Gabba Gabba. None of them are cool and they don't care and that's the whole fucking point.
guess who loves the season 3 op so much they redrew it in timeskip (this guy)
