@@CarlieAndAnge I normally wouldn’t do this but I implore you both to read the manga together for this match. They had to cut so much out that it’s actually a crime. This match is my second favorite in the entire series because of how good it is
Honestly most of your criticisms regarding not having more character moments was because the movie cut them out. Tanaka had a service ace and a few cut shots in the manga, Asahi had a lot of powerful spike and a waterfall ball, Nishinoya had an insane foot save, Daichi had a few clutch moments too. Yaku and Yamamoto moments were cut out too. The match in the manga is a culmination of Karasuno and Nekoma while the movie mostly Hinata and Kenma. If you are open to reading the manga you should check it out.
In the manga, the game arc actually starts with how the two old coaches met when they were kids and how their philosophy in volleyball as well as their rivalry grew throughout the decades.
YEAH LIKE- don't get me wrong the final handshake still got me teary eyed, but I doubt it would've if I hadn't read the manga before seeing it animated and learned about JUST how deep the nekoma-karasuno rivalry went
This match truly deserved to have a full 12 episode season like they did for karasuno vs shiratorizawa. The next match is my favorite in the entire series, I’m afraid of the cuts they’ll make🥲
That’s pretty sad😢 I’m anime only and I’ll probably have to go check out the manga after this. Wonder why they’re making these decisions. $$ off the movies i guess😞?
Peak cinema, literally. The animation randomly popping off for Kuroo and Tsukki, the POV shot at the end, all the plot lines tying together, amazing stuff. Kuroo and Kenma's flashback. Nekomata sensei's role in Kuroo's development as a player. His philosophy of enjoying what you do right from the start so that you can try harder. You genuinely aren't supposed to care who wins this match, for once this is a rare match that is being played simply for the enjoyment of us viewers. And I love Hinata celebrating so hard when Kenma says that he's having fun. P.S. I strongly recommend y'all read the manga. It's just another level of amazing.
Kenma being the main character of the movie was actually a clear directive from director Mitsunaka! That’s the direction he had in mind from the start, and even if you look at the credits, where it’s usually Karasuno first and then other teams, this time it’s Hinata and Kenma together at the top. Sadly, due to time constraints, a lot of character moments had to be cut out, so watching the movie and then reading the manga might be the best way to enjoy the match. Mitsunaka actually felt like he gave Haikyuu all he could after S3, but he was willing to come back only for a movie, since that means more space and budget to work - like that 1st POV sequence, which he’s had in mind for years (since at least S2, where you can see a bit of it in the OP). Another point is that while they maybe could’ve made it longer in theory and included more, they realized that the cinema would attract people who have not engaged with Haikyuu before in any way, so ideally it had to be digestible and not overwhelming for first-time viewers, hence the relative saturation with flashbacks and narrow character focus (and there were plenty of people who picked the manga/anime up after watching the movie, so it seems to have worked well). Thank you for a great reaction, been waiting for it for a long time! We’ve still got some even more incredible stuff coming in Haikyuu, and I already excited for your future reactions to it :"D (so far only the other movie is announced but I’m on copium hoping for additional announcements either in December or in March since this movie did perform very well)
Unfortunate reality of the anime industry. Most adaptations that run long, lose steam as audiences move on to the Demon Slayers and My Heros and Bluelocks of the world. Even Attack on Titan had to end with movies. Fact is, people just don't have the commitment.
The match against Kamomedai is so essential and transformative for all of Haikyu!!, I genuinely believe it NEEDS to be executed properly, with the needed runtime to do so. The integrity of the story and its characters would suffer a huge blow if they mess this up, hope this doesn't sound too dooming and negative lmao
It felt like I was trapped in a prism of rope war while watching this movie tbh. On the one hand, I'm happy that Haikyuu got the production care and propagation it deserves, flattering its key moments with rich emphasis and animation; at the same time, it displaces the grounds on how the series earned its reverence through its characters because of the natural constraints of a movie. No specific spoilers in case they read the manga, but I was pretty let down to see the third years+Tanaka and the literal deuteragonist in Kageyama getting waved in this adaption.
Honestly it's beyond irony that the ONE match that thrives off of being slow and tedious and exhausting, is the one match that got the movie treatment that wouldn't allow for the build up that it needs in order to be impactful. Great reaction as always ♥
Great points. I totally agree. The biggest message about Haikyuu is about the love/passion for something and treating those you share your passion with, with the same respect, fun and love you give your passion. Great reaction.
From kenma saying he's having fun /is happy to Hinata screaming "yesss" to the shot of kuroo's proudful back and then him laughing is one of if not my favourite haikyuu moment.
This match deserved the Shiratorizawa treatment mann, I remember making a mock up tl of how that was gonna go too this was when S4 Pt 1 was airing S4 PT 2 Karasuno vs Inarizaki S5 10 eps of Karasuno vs Nekoma, with Fukurodani vs Mujinozaka as OVAs S6 PT1 is Kamomedai vs Karasuno, then we finally have Challenger as S6 PT 2 WHAT IT SHOULDVE BEEN💔
Right, i wish this too to happen. I think the animators will take a while if this happen but for me, I rather wait than to cut those in the manga that are necessary for the hype of the readers themselves. I appreciate the movie because of the quality yet, leads to summarized version
@ssjbargainsale ikr!! His character is so easy to love, he was the one to cheer up the weirdo duo whenever they were down at the start of the series, but we don't really see him playing much so I'm glad we can still see him!♡
One of most underrated moments for me in this movie was during the Kenma and Kuro flashback. When Kuro says you have to be tall to spike and coach Nekomata says to lower the net and "the first and most important lesson to teach is how fun it is to succeed at something". Man, that moment stayed with me. It’s a powerful reminder of how success, especially when enjoyed and appreciated, can be a transformative experience in sports and life. And we see how being able to spike was a moment that stayed with Kuro.
My love for kuroo after this match has skyrocketed As aleczandxr puts it , kuroo is probably the greatest preacher of volleyball and the joy of a sport. Him being the part of the reason of two characters who didn't think of volleyball much ends up loving it in all its beauty. And he himself finds that to be so rewarding which it is for him for sure.
I'm tearing up typing this.. but you're sooo right. Knowing what his future he becomes and the reason he chose that path instead.. he's up to on my S tier character list🥺
STAHPPP YOU ALL MAKE ME CRY 😭😭😭😭 i'm so proud, so touched, so AGREED, my husband is indeed one of the GOATest character /SOBS/ 🤧🤧🤧 but it's haikyuu we're talkin about, everyone is the GOAT really 😭👍💞
Your criticism is understood, and that is why a lot of people wanted more seasons, not movies. Yeah, it looks good, but story left a lot to be wanted because they had to cut even more stuff in a movie compared to seasons.
I enjoyed it even with all the stuff being cut out but im really worried about the next one cause i can't see how they can fit all that's left and have a satisfying conclusion
Honestly same. I genuinely hope they reconsider the thought of only having a single last movie and either adding a third movie to fit what's after the upcoming matchup or just make a s5
As someone who has long read the manga, there is a lot that has been cut that fixes up the whole character moment issues you guys had. However, as cool as those scenes are, they aren't necessary than what you already know. I think the choice of a going for a movie instead of a season 5 is for the best. Mainly because of "quality" of animation. If Blue Lock, the most sold manga of last year had such stiff animation drop, I don't think I'm confident in seeing a new season with consistently good animation, especially how Season 4 of Haikyuu went (tbf covid). There's also the matter of pacing with one match for one movie. It feels like I'm actually watching a volleyball game. Putting a direct focus of Kenma as the main character is really enjoyable.
Haikyuu is spelt with two u's in Roman alphabet just as a means to make it read the way it's pronounced in Japanese. In Japanese they use a little line to extend a vowel sound, making "uu" the easiest way to have non-Japanese speakers pronounce it accurately. Also haikyuu is the old native Japanese word for volleyball, though they nowadays use the english loanword バレーボール (which is pronounced something like bareebooru). So the show is literally called Volleyball!!
So I put off watching the movie when it came out in theaters because I didn't have anyone to go with, and when it came out on Crunchyroll I was like yeah ok I'll get to it, finally got around to watching it a few days after release and I was covered in tears, I forgot how much I loved these boys and having both teams in the movie made it hit so much harder.
Someone probably already got to this point already, but I'll leave some info here anyway: 1. Haikyuu and Haikyū are both valid ways to write the word 排球 in romaji. The "u" sound is a long vowel and needs to be distinguished from the short "u" vowel. This is done in several ways: - In Hiragana, the long vowel is written with an extra character あ (a), い (i) or う (u) depending on what the original vowel is. E.g. おばあさん - In Katakana, the long vowel is written with a dash character instead of a duplicate character. E.g. ハイキュー!! - In Romaji, the long vowel is similarly written with a duplicate character: E.g. Haikyuu, or with a single vowel character accented with an overhead dash: Haikyū Example: Onii-chan (older brother) is usually written with two "i" characters because it's supposed to be a long vowel. Oni with a short "i" refers to a Japanese folklore demon instead. Similarly, Obaa-san is a way to refer to a grandma whereas Oba-san is for a middle-aged woman. Mixing these up can be disastrous. 2. Haikyuu itself (排球) is just the Japanese native vocabulary for the sport of volleyball. Modern Japan uses the loanword "varebooru" or just "vare" instead.
I was lucky enough to get to watch the movie in theatres and the theatre experience put it on a whole other level, having the surround sound amplify all the sounds effects making you feel like you're sitting in an actual sports game arena. It was truly magnificent!!! I did have the same feelings as you both wishing this was a proper season 5 instead of a movie, just so we could have time to absorb each character moments better before moving to the next one. But for what we got and how well made it is I'm still happy to get more Haikyu! 🧡🖤
I so so so SOOOOO recommend y’all read the manga for this match. They cut so much cool stuff out because it had to fit in an hour and a half long film. It’s honestly the most aggravating decision they could’ve made
Agreed, since season 4, I feel like the animations lost a LOT of background story and meaning for many scenes. Yamaguchi and Tsukishima are the perfect combination of Spear and Shield, for example.
It's a movie, a lot is cut out, that's just how "book vs movie" works, but one thing i felt very strongly in the manga and not so much in the movie here is the perspective change. Throughout the entire anime we see everything from karasunos perspective. Every time karasuno feels like the underdog facing an uphill battle against overwhelming opponents, but this time in the manga we see it from nekomatas perspective facing karasuno feeling like an overhelming opponent that again and again came out on top agains teams that nekomata admits they couldn't have won against.
"you sunnova bitch. stupid movie " Saying that to the handshake scene is making me cry laugh omfg 😂 After reading most reviews i think that scene definitely got the most tears out from everyone, including me 😢❤
HAS ANYONE NOTICED MA BOY FUKUNUGA's FUNNIEST MOMENT in this movie? When they show all players of nekoma having their own thing between the time out, you'll focus on Lev doing push up.. but check out fukunaga.. he's living his best life 🤣🤣🤣
16:38 it was bad because he was focusing so much on aiming, in the manga we see Kenma going to whoever had to serve and telling them where to aim, since the start we see that they have a strategy, even before it's explained we see that something isn't right, in the manga at least 18:36 this set is very risky because high tosses are difficult to hit and by the time a spiker is there the blockers are already in position, that's what he meant by "we have three blockers", besides Hinata always relys on speed, which this doesn't have, that's why Kenma was so surprised, but even then in the manga the BOOM jump wasn't enough, Nekoma adapted quickly to it, they needed a lot of other plays in order to defeat them 20:04 nop, he has always been unhinged, he gets more and more in the manga, but it was there from the start, you wouldn't believe how crazy they actually are, especially Daichi. Tanaka for example, gives the middle finger as much as he does weird faces 22:51 I know you love Tanaka, but it's important to know that that's Nekoma's specialty, you worry so much about the receivers that you either don't see the blockers or to try to get pass them you end up hitting out 25:25 this is a move Hinata copied from their first match at nationals (every match matters) where you make the receivers think it's a feint so they get closer and then you wipe, so no one is behind to defend 30:00 this was a huge thing for Kuroo because he always felt guilty beleiving he forced Kenma to do something he didn't want, so having him reassure him he was having fun was just as big as if they had won the match 33:01 funny you mention Bokuto, because in the manga they show more players that have that mindset, one of them is Bokuto (who also hugs and congratulates both teams, it's so sweet) The handshake was even more emotional to me in the manga because we actually got a whole backstory on them two, it's beautiful, and I was already crying with the backstory, which was told before the match even began, so I was crying through the whole match Personally I was rooting for Nekoma, even though I was reading the manga, and knew 99% that Karasuno was going to win, I wanted Nekoma to beat them... Apparently there is only one movie, but there is toooo much left from the manga
As someone who has gone through the manga, apart from all the cuts they made in the movie, at the end I expected them to keep the part wherein Bokuto comes to congratulate both the captains and the teams.
I totally felt like we needed a whole more hour for this match, but that also goes in line with the idea of Kenma and even Hinata feeling like the match was so short, and they wanted so much more
You both look great in your jerseys, also Carlie I am *loving* the hair. This match was intense and yet so wholesome. The Tsukki moments absolutely killed me, seeing his smile and highfiving Yamaguchi, my heart! Hinata's celebration at Kenma saying that he's having fun for the first time, I felt so happy for them both. Lastly, Kenma's PoV sequence was sublime. I had to watch it back a few times just because of how incredibly well done it was. I wish we had gotten a whole season, because from what I heard we missed out on a lot of great moments, which are what makes this anime so great. I am still grateful for what we got though, and I hope if nothing else, it might inspire people to pick up the manga to see what they couldn't cover in the film. As always, thank you for your reaction, I was crying right along with you Carlie. Lots of love to you both! 💙
Aw thank you so much!! We definitely agree that this should’ve been a season, but as you said, we’re grateful for the movie. We’ll probably pick up the manga ourselves at some point, we hate knowing there were some really nice moments missing from the movie. Thanks again for the lovely comment ❤️
9:11 Daichi can't hate anyone? Well... in the manga, when Kuroo was trying to irritate Tsukki, Daichi goes up and says "Want me to punch him for you?" Lol 17:16 Eek. Asahi's moments already happened multiple times at this timestamp. Some got animated here for sure, but were treated like normal points. His new move, the Waterfall, didn't even appear here. We haven't seen a major Asahi focus since S1 Dateko, but we have seen him cooking in the background: his more resilient mindset in S4 training against Dateko, successfully performing his new move Crusher/Pulverizer (named by Suga) against Inarizaki, his new move Waterfall against Nekoma. Asahi also took inspiration from Ushiwaka by improving his mid-air form, and strategically mixing in a few feints against Nekoma. All of these are meant to culminate in his best moments against Kamomedai; kinda like how much Hinata has stacked his skillset now since S2 training arc & especially the ball boy arc. It's a long buildup and it's easy to overlook Asahi & Tsukki's slower evolution compared to Hinata, but imo, Kamomedia match has the best moments for these 2 as well. But I fear it will be the same as this movie, where we only focus on Hinata and the main antagonist, Hoshiumi. 19:20 It's actually realistic. In fact, Hinata's Boom Jump is more realistic than S1 Freak Quick. In the manga & movie, the angle they 1st show the Boom Jump is low, to exaggerate how it looks like. But in any other angle since, it's a very realistic play with so much complexity, game IQ from Hinata, and the synergy between Kageyama & Hinata on when to use it. In fact, in this 1st attempt at the Boom Jump, Hinata fails to hit the ball correctly, but still accidentally scored. It's realistic that Hinata failed because Kageyama didn't even tell Hinata that he wanted to try the super high toss, but Kageyama has seen Hinata trying to jump higher since Hinata saw Hoshiumi jump. 19:49 There's an official art/panel in the manga of this moment where Kenma is the mage in the hero's party (white robes), while Hinata is dressed like a (mini) demon king (full black armor w/ horns in his head). In the manga, there are so many panels since nationals started where we see other teams' POV where they get intimated by Karasuno because they defeated Shiratorizawa & Inarizaki. An example is when Nekoma was explaining that it's not just Hinata who evolved from "club" to "oni/demon", it's the entire Karasuno team that has evolved since S2. The chapter is called "Demon Birds", and the last panel where Karasuno is drawn made them look very intimidating like they're villains. 30:52 Garbage Dump is Chapter 293 and they start it with the backstory of Old Ukai & Coach Nekomata. So I sobbed at this spiritual handshake in both manga & movie. Also young Nekomata was like a HOT version of Suga. Suga's cute, but more wholesome. Young Nekomata had some intensity. 38:00 ...Nekoma arc is 1 arc squeezed in less than 2 hrs. If the announcement that the next movie is indeed the Finale-Finale, they need to squeeze 3 arcs in the final movie.
I think from the recent developments on Haikyuu!!, it was mentioned that they're going to animate the rest of the series, given how much manga content is remaining. Based on this and how the post-credits scene set up the "Battle of the Little Giants", one can surmise/guess that the next movie MIGHT solely focus on Karasuno vs. Kamomedai and that there MIGHT be more material beyond this supposedly one remaining movie---so let's hope for the best! ^__^
1:34 this shit was still beautiful for how much they cut wish they kept a lot and made it 2-3 hours long I would have stayed and just watched that shit through
even tho there's only one movie left i still hope maybe they'll do OVA's or something like that cause ain't no way they can pack everything up in that movie without cutting a lot of it out... AND I MEAN A LOT
As always, I love your reactions!!! I'm so excited for future Haikyuu stuff and I can't wait to see more of your reactions!! Also, I'm not sure if Ange has covered "Orange", the song for this movie, but if he hasn't, I hope he can make a cover!! It's a super good song!!! Also every time Carlie cries during Haikyuu reactions, I can relate!! I love Haikyuu
I wanted to just point out the moment where ukai senior was hand shaking his rival from TV in his ill bed I cried and I just loved that he pointed that out thank you very much ☺️
I'm so happy the new move came out after so long, even though they couldn't take every manga scene in the move it's a little bit sad since every scene are so precious and fun. I believe they will come out with one move and that will be the end… I'm so sad since so many emotionally events and matches and scenes will not be animated. I have an idea where they will stop it (the anime), after watching the last movie I would from bottom of my heart recommend you guys to read the manga. It's as good as the anime. You will 100% cry for sure, feel all kind of emotion. And I can guess you guys will want to see more of them after the last movie and see what will happen to them after graduation and what will they do, where will they go, their future etc. You will regret missing out seeing their "endjourney"
26:35 yes that is exactly why Hinata does this awesome battle cry here. Maybe even more than winning the match his specific motivation in this match against Nekoma was making Kenma desperate and to get him to say that he had fun. Nothing could be sweeter than that.
Look as a manga reader I give the match 10/10 but in anime 8/10 I enjoye it a lot actually when I did rewatch it people need to understand that the movie took the nekoma as the protagonist and karasuno the enemy or rival etc .. that's why it feels different yeah some cut moments there and there are little bit annoying but the quality they put in the animation and especially the scene with Hinata big jumb they did it very well that was phenomenal to be honest better then the manga And like everybody else i really hope they changed their plans and make another season
I'm pretty sure the chapter of the manga where they focusing on the relationship between tsukishima and kuroo is called master and student, and that chapter sure make me cry like a kid
Great reaction as always! It is more than just fun to watch Haikyuu with you guys🥰 Someone might have already mentioned this, but 'Haikyuu' is a Japanese word that means volleyball, although the word is rarely used except in special cases. As a Japanese person, I've never heard anyone use 'haikyuu' in a conversation in my life (we just use the English word "volleyball" in general ). BTW, basketball is pronounced 'lowkyuu' in Japanese, but this term is also not used in daily life. Even though I already knew the story from the manga, it was still a pleasure to see the characters in motion. As a result, I went to the theater to watch the movie more than 10 times. Still I hope you’ll see what wonderful adults they become in manga. They’re amazing right to the very end.
I really love the movie, I do, it's amazing and beautiful but I hate how much they cut. In most matches we get to know something from at least two or three players from other teams and the rest get their moment, but in this match we already knew every single member so there were no need for introduction to their character, we got something from everyone, every single character from both teams. I knew they had to cut when they turn it into a movie, and with the time they had they did a fantastic job, but while I knew when going to see it that they cut a lot, and I even knew that my favourite parts weren't there I was still amazed at just how much they cut. I'll give examples, but it will sound a bit to harsh and that I don't appreciate the movie, I do, and I don't fault those who worked on it, they did an amazing job with what they were give, I'm only faulting the ones that decided to make it a movie, if you don't want to read criticism then it's fine, as I said it's a great movie, I really liked it but I do wish we had the many awsome or emotional moments that were cut. Everyone had their own moment or more than one that weren't in, Tanaka, Daichi, Kageyama, Yamamoto, Yaku! anyone from either team, Inokua had a way larger part, in the movie I don't really see the impact he had, hell, even Kenma had more amazing moments and Hinata was way smarter and did a lot of tactics, he didn't just rely on Kageyama's set and the BOOM jump. The movie was very Kenma vs Hinata but the manga was how it was set up from even before their year, since the old coaches, Karasuno vs Nekoma. I feel they rushed to much the first set. We rarely get to see a full set of Karasuno losing, especially animated, they usually rush through them (like the 3 set in shiratorizawa that was longer in the manga while in anime they almost didn't show a single point) Even though I knew Nekoma was going to win that set, I felt Karasuno was scoring more, until they showed the score board and apparently Nekoma was in the lead, I didn't feel that by the way it was presented. When they lost Daichi was beatting himself up for it because it was his ball to receive, and then he redimed himself. Karasuno also celebrated waaay more winning the second set, and with reason, it was the first time they took a single set from them!! It was to the point that people passing by thought they were celebrating winning the match, not just the set. Also, yes, the animation and direction was amazing but every time they did an amazing rally my first thought wasn't about the quality, it was "Wait! we are already at that rally!? but what about x,y and z rally? they were important" they rushed through the sets in a match against a defense specialist, where the rallys were made to feel looooong and eternal on pourpose What also hurt me was the subtle yet significant change in Kuroo's backstory, in the manga it was all about him actually being super shy, even more than Kenma, the complete opposite to movie Kenma's "he was always like that", I was like "NoO!? What do you mean he was always like that? he wasn't", the way it was presented in the manga made me cry, probably because I relate quite a lot, I don't know it hit different. And don't get me started on the libero moments that were cut!! They usually don't get as much attention, and they cut the most coolest moments from both of them! In a match with a defense specialist team!?? There were also scenes such as Tsukki telling Kuroo "thanks to everyone it's fun" that were just a tad longer but that made it more impactful and emotional to me. And also Daichi and Kuroo had a speech that ended with "that's why we hate those guys" showing both teams smiling at each other... It just... there were many moments like those that were soooo emotional to me And Kenma!! I liked the first person pov, I really do, it's amazingly done, I wouldn't change that for the world, but the faces Kenma was making, especially at Lev, they were priceless!! The "idoit! The ball hasn't fallen yet!" and "It hurts..., I'm tired...I don't want it to end" they had more focuse since we could see Kenma's desperation (and weren't just amazed and focused with the animation), and it was incredible I know it was impossible from the get go to have every single scene, unless it was like 3 hs long, I'm aware, and I know they did better, way better than expected, I'm just a bit sad that some will never read the match at it's full potential, also, I'm scared since they did that with the most anticipated match, I don't know how they'll handle what's left. Besides, the reason I find the ending pperfect, personally, is because they take every single detail and give it a satisfying resolution, if they cut those moments then the ending looses it's impact
This movie is amazing and I can't express how good I feel about it getting a movie but the amount cut scenes are in this is insane, the character momentum was way better in the manga
I saw this on theatre, one of the best movie I saw in theatre this year…. Kenma and Shoyo connection was beautiful… in the climax scene I was rooting for both team….🏐🐐
There was ample content for a 24-episode Haikyuu!! Season 5, but the commercial success of theatrical releases like Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen 0 inspired Studio Production I.G to opt for two Haikyuu!! movies instead of another season.
I wish for another season so bad! This movie worked really well because it only focused on one match, but I'm afraid that if they try to fit everything into one last movie, a lot of small details will be left out to make space for the important scenes.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUUUUUUUU!!! LESGOOOOOOOOO OMG Anyway, Carlie you lookiny so fabulous and pretty! I haven't seen you guys in while and you (both) looks dazzling❤
As many people said in the comments, the movie for what it is, it's good. But, and a big but, your complains about how they didn't have a lot of character moments is because they did actually cut off a lot of the those moments, like a lot. There was a lot of drama and tension built up from the ground up in every set and the stakes felt soo high and the movie just felt...rushed in a weird way. Sure it had great animation and that I will say was amazing, but story wise it was soo cut up. There were moments in the manga that left you dumbfounded because certain players were highlighted in ways that movie just did not. For example, tanaka and asahi, your comment of asahi getting points quietly on the side was something that did not happen. He was the main scorer in the manga and it was almost a great way of wrapping up his story arc of finally living up to the title ace and finally being able to show that confidence. Without spoilers about what happens in the next in the manga, I am really worried on how they approach it, there is a lot of material to cover still for just 1 movie even a small 4 episode series would be enough to cover a lot of the material so they could have the right amount of material for a closing movie.
We are really back!!!! Excited to see your reactions I haven't seen it yet And one another thing i don't know if it just me but haikyuu gets better rewatching it has high rewatch value I feel like pacing is fast in this movie
36:40 Don't mind me...Imma just save this in my memory and remember it for dear life and comeback to comment when it is time. Await my return to the haikyuu reaction.
era un partido entre amigos, realmente se lo estaban pasando tan bien que no se dieron cuenta ni de que había acabado, amo como el anime te hace tener esa sensación y no terminarlo de manera epica
The manga was truly meant for a whole season. The movie is great but every1 loved haikyuu because of that extra oomph. That flair and drama that makes subtle moments seem so epic. But cant complain cause it's either this or nothing at all😂 All I can say for the next final Movie ( which I do hope they break into 2 parts ugh) is that PREPARE TO CRY. 😂 I dont cry for shows or stories but it was Haikyu that turned that switch on and I get emotional over the good music they have😂 I really like the final chapters of the manga. It's one of those mangas where the ending is just fulfilling or you're left somewhat content. And that's a rare scenario when it comes to storytelling. But what I loved about the ending was the resolution of Hinata's goals w regards to being the Little Giant. That's all I can spoil hahaha😂
Well haikyuu it's spell with 2 u in our vocabulary because in japanesse they use a character to pronounce some vocals a little longer and the the title haikyuu in katakana is ハイキュー where the dash is like adding another u so you pronounce it a little longer. And also about the other question, haikyuu is literally volleyball in japanesse :D (i actually speak spanish so i don't know if i explain it clearly enough, sorry if i wrote any word wrong)
I highly recommend you guys to check out this match in the manga. The movie was great, but one can't deny the lack of impact because of the moments that were cut from the manga.
i rate this movie 7/10, that's after they remove noya's foot save. that shit was freaking epic!! if the can make a 24 episodes a movie now they need to make this movie a 12 episode anime!
Something I'm just picking up on is that Kags really does still respect Hinata as an opponent when he interrupts his moment with Kenma after the match. He sees Hinata is getting better and he refuses to let him surpass him. Their rivalry/comradery is shown in such small ways but it feels like Kageyama is almost getting more weary of Hinata xD
PEAK IS BACK!
INDEEDDDDD OMG
PEAK LITERALLY PEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKK!!!!!!!!!!
Peak recognizes peak 🔥🔥
@@CarlieAndAnge I normally wouldn’t do this but I implore you both to read the manga together for this match. They had to cut so much out that it’s actually a crime. This match is my second favorite in the entire series because of how good it is
Honestly most of your criticisms regarding not having more character moments was because the movie cut them out. Tanaka had a service ace and a few cut shots in the manga, Asahi had a lot of powerful spike and a waterfall ball, Nishinoya had an insane foot save, Daichi had a few clutch moments too. Yaku and Yamamoto moments were cut out too. The match in the manga is a culmination of Karasuno and Nekoma while the movie mostly Hinata and Kenma. If you are open to reading the manga you should check it out.
Hey can you tell me which chapters are the start of the movie I'd like to check it out
Exactly the manga was so much better but they ruined it by cutting a lot of great scenes for the movie 😢
Starts at chapter 292 @@Kai-rp8od
@@Kai-rp8od Chapter 293
@@Kai-rp8odYou can start from chapter 293 for better context
Ange started tearing up at the Ukai senior handshake. Im taking that as a win LOL
In the manga, the game arc actually starts with how the two old coaches met when they were kids and how their philosophy in volleyball as well as their rivalry grew throughout the decades.
yeah they butchered that parts its annoying
and a lot of important shots and moments from the match too
@hardikkikani2119 I'm just glad we got ANY of the Tendo scenes, was honestly worried they'd cut him completely in the movie.
that's why I prefer reading kaikyuu because all the details are awesome
YEAH LIKE- don't get me wrong the final handshake still got me teary eyed, but I doubt it would've if I hadn't read the manga before seeing it animated and learned about JUST how deep the nekoma-karasuno rivalry went
This match truly deserved to have a full 12 episode season like they did for karasuno vs shiratorizawa. The next match is my favorite in the entire series, I’m afraid of the cuts they’ll make🥲
same bruh, aside from that im guessing theyll probably completely get rid of fukurodani vs mujinazaka🥲
@@randomdudelol5263challenger is in danger of getting massively cut too dude what the hell are their decisions
That’s pretty sad😢 I’m anime only and I’ll probably have to go check out the manga after this. Wonder why they’re making these decisions. $$ off the movies i guess😞?
yeah they plan to end the series with the next movie, no chance they can put all 4 remaining matches in
@@randomdudelol5263 Hopefully they release Bokuto vs Kiryu as a separate OVA at least
Peak cinema, literally.
The animation randomly popping off for Kuroo and Tsukki, the POV shot at the end, all the plot lines tying together, amazing stuff. Kuroo and Kenma's flashback. Nekomata sensei's role in Kuroo's development as a player. His philosophy of enjoying what you do right from the start so that you can try harder. You genuinely aren't supposed to care who wins this match, for once this is a rare match that is being played simply for the enjoyment of us viewers. And I love Hinata celebrating so hard when Kenma says that he's having fun.
P.S. I strongly recommend y'all read the manga. It's just another level of amazing.
Kenma being the main character of the movie was actually a clear directive from director Mitsunaka! That’s the direction he had in mind from the start, and even if you look at the credits, where it’s usually Karasuno first and then other teams, this time it’s Hinata and Kenma together at the top.
Sadly, due to time constraints, a lot of character moments had to be cut out, so watching the movie and then reading the manga might be the best way to enjoy the match. Mitsunaka actually felt like he gave Haikyuu all he could after S3, but he was willing to come back only for a movie, since that means more space and budget to work - like that 1st POV sequence, which he’s had in mind for years (since at least S2, where you can see a bit of it in the OP).
Another point is that while they maybe could’ve made it longer in theory and included more, they realized that the cinema would attract people who have not engaged with Haikyuu before in any way, so ideally it had to be digestible and not overwhelming for first-time viewers, hence the relative saturation with flashbacks and narrow character focus (and there were plenty of people who picked the manga/anime up after watching the movie, so it seems to have worked well).
Thank you for a great reaction, been waiting for it for a long time! We’ve still got some even more incredible stuff coming in Haikyuu, and I already excited for your future reactions to it :"D (so far only the other movie is announced but I’m on copium hoping for additional announcements either in December or in March since this movie did perform very well)
i'm really hoping for a little more too... hopium
next movie should have 5hr long :(
Unfortunate reality of the anime industry. Most adaptations that run long, lose steam as audiences move on to the Demon Slayers and My Heros and Bluelocks of the world. Even Attack on Titan had to end with movies. Fact is, people just don't have the commitment.
The match against Kamomedai is so essential and transformative for all of Haikyu!!, I genuinely believe it NEEDS to be executed properly, with the needed runtime to do so.
The integrity of the story and its characters would suffer a huge blow if they mess this up, hope this doesn't sound too dooming and negative lmao
I KNOW YOU FROM TWITTER OMG
That like 2 minute first person pov shot has to be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in anime
really? I kinda hated that lol
It felt like I was trapped in a prism of rope war while watching this movie tbh. On the one hand, I'm happy that Haikyuu got the production care and propagation it deserves, flattering its key moments with rich emphasis and animation; at the same time, it displaces the grounds on how the series earned its reverence through its characters because of the natural constraints of a movie. No specific spoilers in case they read the manga, but I was pretty let down to see the third years+Tanaka and the literal deuteragonist in Kageyama getting waved in this adaption.
Honestly it's beyond irony that the ONE match that thrives off of being slow and tedious and exhausting, is the one match that got the movie treatment that wouldn't allow for the build up that it needs in order to be impactful. Great reaction as always ♥
Great points. I totally agree. The biggest message about Haikyuu is about the love/passion for something and treating those you share your passion with, with the same respect, fun and love you give your passion. Great reaction.
From kenma saying he's having fun /is happy to Hinata screaming "yesss" to the shot of kuroo's proudful back and then him laughing is one of if not my favourite haikyuu moment.
This match deserved the Shiratorizawa treatment mann, I remember making a mock up tl of how that was gonna go too this was when S4 Pt 1 was airing
S4 PT 2 Karasuno vs Inarizaki
S5 10 eps of Karasuno vs Nekoma, with Fukurodani vs Mujinozaka as OVAs
S6 PT1 is Kamomedai vs Karasuno, then we finally have Challenger as S6 PT 2
WHAT IT SHOULDVE BEEN💔
Right, i wish this too to happen. I think the animators will take a while if this happen but for me, I rather wait than to cut those in the manga that are necessary for the hype of the readers themselves. I appreciate the movie because of the quality yet, leads to summarized version
20:04 Sugawara has always been unhinged actually (we love him for that!)😂😭
Especially in the manga, but they don't show all of it in the anime!
I liked how they made him more and more unhinged with each season, like he was really getting more hopeful with each new match
@ssjbargainsale ikr!!
His character is so easy to love, he was the one to cheer up the weirdo duo whenever they were down at the start of the series, but we don't really see him playing much so I'm glad we can still see him!♡
One of most underrated moments for me in this movie was during the Kenma and Kuro flashback. When Kuro says you have to be tall to spike and coach Nekomata says to lower the net and "the first and most important lesson to teach is how fun it is to succeed at something". Man, that moment stayed with me. It’s a powerful reminder of how success, especially when enjoyed and appreciated, can be a transformative experience in sports and life. And we see how being able to spike was a moment that stayed with Kuro.
and they cut it from their reaction like whaaaaaaat
Man, this movie is just a bunch of memories that put together ... 😭😭
My love for kuroo after this match has skyrocketed
As aleczandxr puts it , kuroo is probably the greatest preacher of volleyball and the joy of a sport. Him being the part of the reason of two characters who didn't think of volleyball much ends up loving it in all its beauty. And he himself finds that to be so rewarding which it is for him for sure.
I'm tearing up typing this.. but you're sooo right. Knowing what his future he becomes and the reason he chose that path instead.. he's up to on my S tier character list🥺
@@yusriyarofifahalimah1805 yeah the fact that kuroo replied with a "same to you" when tsukki thanked him says everything about that man.
STAHPPP YOU ALL MAKE ME CRY 😭😭😭😭 i'm so proud, so touched, so AGREED, my husband is indeed one of the GOATest character /SOBS/ 🤧🤧🤧
but it's haikyuu we're talkin about, everyone is the GOAT really 😭👍💞
Haikyu/Haikyuu (排球) is the kanji for "volleyball", so the anime is literally named after the sport
Your criticism is understood, and that is why a lot of people wanted more seasons, not movies. Yeah, it looks good, but story left a lot to be wanted because they had to cut even more stuff in a movie compared to seasons.
I was FEINDING for this reaction like an addict 💀 thank you for this guys and we love the jerseys 🥹😭
I enjoyed it even with all the stuff being cut out but im really worried about the next one cause i can't see how they can fit all that's left and have a satisfying conclusion
Honestly same. I genuinely hope they reconsider the thought of only having a single last movie and either adding a third movie to fit what's after the upcoming matchup or just make a s5
7hour movie ez , next question
As someone who has long read the manga, there is a lot that has been cut that fixes up the whole character moment issues you guys had.
However, as cool as those scenes are, they aren't necessary than what you already know.
I think the choice of a going for a movie instead of a season 5 is for the best. Mainly because of "quality" of animation. If Blue Lock, the most sold manga of last year had such stiff animation drop, I don't think I'm confident in seeing a new season with consistently good animation, especially how Season 4 of Haikyuu went (tbf covid).
There's also the matter of pacing with one match for one movie. It feels like I'm actually watching a volleyball game. Putting a direct focus of Kenma as the main character is really enjoyable.
Now that you put it that way. I would rather have this movie than bluelock animation for season 5
i literally just finished rewatching your hq playlist and then this got released 10 minutes ago ohh boy am i so excited!! ❤❤
Haikyuu is spelt with two u's in Roman alphabet just as a means to make it read the way it's pronounced in Japanese. In Japanese they use a little line to extend a vowel sound, making "uu" the easiest way to have non-Japanese speakers pronounce it accurately. Also haikyuu is the old native Japanese word for volleyball, though they nowadays use the english loanword バレーボール (which is pronounced something like bareebooru). So the show is literally called Volleyball!!
The PEAK IS PEAKING
So I put off watching the movie when it came out in theaters because I didn't have anyone to go with, and when it came out on Crunchyroll I was like yeah ok I'll get to it, finally got around to watching it a few days after release and I was covered in tears, I forgot how much I loved these boys and having both teams in the movie made it hit so much harder.
I watched it in theaters alone 3 times.. best memories of my life🥰
30:47 SOOO REAL girl i also WEPT when i saw him also reaching his hand 😭😭😭 also carlie you look absolutely beautiful!!! 😭❤❤❤
Someone probably already got to this point already, but I'll leave some info here anyway:
1. Haikyuu and Haikyū are both valid ways to write the word 排球 in romaji. The "u" sound is a long vowel and needs to be distinguished from the short "u" vowel. This is done in several ways:
- In Hiragana, the long vowel is written with an extra character あ (a), い (i) or う (u) depending on what the original vowel is. E.g. おばあさん
- In Katakana, the long vowel is written with a dash character instead of a duplicate character. E.g. ハイキュー!!
- In Romaji, the long vowel is similarly written with a duplicate character: E.g. Haikyuu, or with a single vowel character accented with an overhead dash: Haikyū
Example: Onii-chan (older brother) is usually written with two "i" characters because it's supposed to be a long vowel. Oni with a short "i" refers to a Japanese folklore demon instead. Similarly, Obaa-san is a way to refer to a grandma whereas Oba-san is for a middle-aged woman. Mixing these up can be disastrous.
2. Haikyuu itself (排球) is just the Japanese native vocabulary for the sport of volleyball. Modern Japan uses the loanword "varebooru" or just "vare" instead.
I was lucky enough to get to watch the movie in theatres and the theatre experience put it on a whole other level, having the surround sound amplify all the sounds effects making you feel like you're sitting in an actual sports game arena. It was truly magnificent!!!
I did have the same feelings as you both wishing this was a proper season 5 instead of a movie, just so we could have time to absorb each character moments better before moving to the next one. But for what we got and how well made it is I'm still happy to get more Haikyu! 🧡🖤
I so so so SOOOOO recommend y’all read the manga for this match. They cut so much cool stuff out because it had to fit in an hour and a half long film. It’s honestly the most aggravating decision they could’ve made
Agreed, since season 4, I feel like the animations lost a LOT of background story and meaning for many scenes.
Yamaguchi and Tsukishima are the perfect combination of Spear and Shield, for example.
@ this too
It's a movie, a lot is cut out, that's just how "book vs movie" works, but one thing i felt very strongly in the manga and not so much in the movie here is the perspective change.
Throughout the entire anime we see everything from karasunos perspective. Every time karasuno feels like the underdog facing an uphill battle against overwhelming opponents, but this time in the manga we see it from nekomatas perspective facing karasuno feeling like an overhelming opponent that again and again came out on top agains teams that nekomata admits they couldn't have won against.
"you sunnova bitch. stupid movie " Saying that to the handshake scene is making me cry laugh omfg 😂 After reading most reviews i think that scene definitely got the most tears out from everyone, including me 😢❤
9:47 I love how your reactions are becoming like a volleyball experts😂🫶🏻
HAS ANYONE NOTICED MA BOY FUKUNUGA's FUNNIEST MOMENT in this movie? When they show all players of nekoma having their own thing between the time out, you'll focus on Lev doing push up.. but check out fukunaga.. he's living his best life 🤣🤣🤣
I noticed that too LOLL
@@vocal02 he's such a cat haha
16:38 it was bad because he was focusing so much on aiming, in the manga we see Kenma going to whoever had to serve and telling them where to aim, since the start we see that they have a strategy, even before it's explained we see that something isn't right, in the manga at least
18:36 this set is very risky because high tosses are difficult to hit and by the time a spiker is there the blockers are already in position, that's what he meant by "we have three blockers", besides Hinata always relys on speed, which this doesn't have, that's why Kenma was so surprised, but even then in the manga the BOOM jump wasn't enough, Nekoma adapted quickly to it, they needed a lot of other plays in order to defeat them
20:04 nop, he has always been unhinged, he gets more and more in the manga, but it was there from the start, you wouldn't believe how crazy they actually are, especially Daichi. Tanaka for example, gives the middle finger as much as he does weird faces
22:51 I know you love Tanaka, but it's important to know that that's Nekoma's specialty, you worry so much about the receivers that you either don't see the blockers or to try to get pass them you end up hitting out
25:25 this is a move Hinata copied from their first match at nationals (every match matters) where you make the receivers think it's a feint so they get closer and then you wipe, so no one is behind to defend
30:00 this was a huge thing for Kuroo because he always felt guilty beleiving he forced Kenma to do something he didn't want, so having him reassure him he was having fun was just as big as if they had won the match
33:01 funny you mention Bokuto, because in the manga they show more players that have that mindset, one of them is Bokuto (who also hugs and congratulates both teams, it's so sweet)
The handshake was even more emotional to me in the manga because we actually got a whole backstory on them two, it's beautiful, and I was already crying with the backstory, which was told before the match even began, so I was crying through the whole match
Personally I was rooting for Nekoma, even though I was reading the manga, and knew 99% that Karasuno was going to win, I wanted Nekoma to beat them...
Apparently there is only one movie, but there is toooo much left from the manga
As someone who has gone through the manga, apart from all the cuts they made in the movie, at the end I expected them to keep the part wherein Bokuto comes to congratulate both the captains and the teams.
Me crying in corner... Haikyuu is the best coming of age anime/manga ❤
Ive been waiting all year for this reaction!! 🔥
Carlie calling it the Slave boy instead of Ball Boy had me ROLLING
I totally felt like we needed a whole more hour for this match, but that also goes in line with the idea of Kenma and even Hinata feeling like the match was so short, and they wanted so much more
Eye: sees nuber 5 on jersey
Brain: "LEFFTOOOOOO!!!"
I loved the scene of kuro laughing chaotically mid rally
finally i can hear ange say "FUKURODANI!" again
You both look great in your jerseys, also Carlie I am *loving* the hair. This match was intense and yet so wholesome. The Tsukki moments absolutely killed me, seeing his smile and highfiving Yamaguchi, my heart! Hinata's celebration at Kenma saying that he's having fun for the first time, I felt so happy for them both. Lastly, Kenma's PoV sequence was sublime. I had to watch it back a few times just because of how incredibly well done it was. I wish we had gotten a whole season, because from what I heard we missed out on a lot of great moments, which are what makes this anime so great. I am still grateful for what we got though, and I hope if nothing else, it might inspire people to pick up the manga to see what they couldn't cover in the film. As always, thank you for your reaction, I was crying right along with you Carlie. Lots of love to you both! 💙
Aw thank you so much!! We definitely agree that this should’ve been a season, but as you said, we’re grateful for the movie. We’ll probably pick up the manga ourselves at some point, we hate knowing there were some really nice moments missing from the movie. Thanks again for the lovely comment ❤️
2:57 damn carlie 😂 I love what haikyuu! has done to you LFG!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
I choked on my coffee when this happened 😂😂😂
@@adityarajswami1259 ikr 😂
It reminded me of when she called the TV newswoman a bitch for not giving credit to Karasuno 😂
9:11 Daichi can't hate anyone? Well... in the manga, when Kuroo was trying to irritate Tsukki, Daichi goes up and says "Want me to punch him for you?" Lol
17:16 Eek. Asahi's moments already happened multiple times at this timestamp. Some got animated here for sure, but were treated like normal points. His new move, the Waterfall, didn't even appear here. We haven't seen a major Asahi focus since S1 Dateko, but we have seen him cooking in the background: his more resilient mindset in S4 training against Dateko, successfully performing his new move Crusher/Pulverizer (named by Suga) against Inarizaki, his new move Waterfall against Nekoma. Asahi also took inspiration from Ushiwaka by improving his mid-air form, and strategically mixing in a few feints against Nekoma. All of these are meant to culminate in his best moments against Kamomedai; kinda like how much Hinata has stacked his skillset now since S2 training arc & especially the ball boy arc. It's a long buildup and it's easy to overlook Asahi & Tsukki's slower evolution compared to Hinata, but imo, Kamomedia match has the best moments for these 2 as well. But I fear it will be the same as this movie, where we only focus on Hinata and the main antagonist, Hoshiumi.
19:20 It's actually realistic. In fact, Hinata's Boom Jump is more realistic than S1 Freak Quick. In the manga & movie, the angle they 1st show the Boom Jump is low, to exaggerate how it looks like. But in any other angle since, it's a very realistic play with so much complexity, game IQ from Hinata, and the synergy between Kageyama & Hinata on when to use it. In fact, in this 1st attempt at the Boom Jump, Hinata fails to hit the ball correctly, but still accidentally scored. It's realistic that Hinata failed because Kageyama didn't even tell Hinata that he wanted to try the super high toss, but Kageyama has seen Hinata trying to jump higher since Hinata saw Hoshiumi jump.
19:49 There's an official art/panel in the manga of this moment where Kenma is the mage in the hero's party (white robes), while Hinata is dressed like a (mini) demon king (full black armor w/ horns in his head). In the manga, there are so many panels since nationals started where we see other teams' POV where they get intimated by Karasuno because they defeated Shiratorizawa & Inarizaki. An example is when Nekoma was explaining that it's not just Hinata who evolved from "club" to "oni/demon", it's the entire Karasuno team that has evolved since S2. The chapter is called "Demon Birds", and the last panel where Karasuno is drawn made them look very intimidating like they're villains.
30:52 Garbage Dump is Chapter 293 and they start it with the backstory of Old Ukai & Coach Nekomata. So I sobbed at this spiritual handshake in both manga & movie. Also young Nekomata was like a HOT version of Suga. Suga's cute, but more wholesome. Young Nekomata had some intensity.
38:00 ...Nekoma arc is 1 arc squeezed in less than 2 hrs. If the announcement that the next movie is indeed the Finale-Finale, they need to squeeze 3 arcs in the final movie.
I would like to say that I actually think young Nekomata looked more like a HOT version of Yaku
@@mcbob10 I see that too. He reminded me of Suga because of the long white hair
what sold me on this movie was the Kenma POV sequence. Karasuno is relentless and terrifying to face. Hinata's speed was scary to play against.
"The slave boy arc" - Haikyuu Saga
Carlie looks stunning with her Hair Like this
I love the boys friendship and the hard work everyone puts in, soooooo inspiring 💜
I think from the recent developments on Haikyuu!!, it was mentioned that they're going to animate the rest of the series, given how much manga content is remaining. Based on this and how the post-credits scene set up the "Battle of the Little Giants", one can surmise/guess that the next movie MIGHT solely focus on Karasuno vs. Kamomedai and that there MIGHT be more material beyond this supposedly one remaining movie---so let's hope for the best! ^__^
1:34 this shit was still beautiful for how much they cut wish they kept a lot and made it 2-3 hours long I would have stayed and just watched that shit through
13:30 the va slipped in gojo laugh in there🤣
even tho there's only one movie left i still hope maybe they'll do OVA's or something like that cause ain't no way they can pack everything up in that movie without cutting a lot of it out... AND I MEAN A LOT
As always, I love your reactions!!! I'm so excited for future Haikyuu stuff and I can't wait to see more of your reactions!! Also, I'm not sure if Ange has covered "Orange", the song for this movie, but if he hasn't, I hope he can make a cover!! It's a super good song!!! Also every time Carlie cries during Haikyuu reactions, I can relate!! I love Haikyuu
CUTE ponytail!!!
kenmas pov was insane. i loved it. both teams hat me screaming and crying. so much fun.
I wanted to just point out the moment where ukai senior was hand shaking his rival from TV in his ill bed I cried and I just loved that he pointed that out thank you very much ☺️
Bro how you manage to not cry! I have seen it like 4 times and i tear up everytime
I'm so happy the new move came out after so long, even though they couldn't take every manga scene in the move it's a little bit sad since every scene are so precious and fun.
I believe they will come out with one move and that will be the end… I'm so sad since so many emotionally events and matches and scenes will not be animated. I have an idea where they will stop it (the anime), after watching the last movie I would from bottom of my heart recommend you guys to read the manga. It's as good as the anime. You will 100% cry for sure, feel all kind of emotion. And I can guess you guys will want to see more of them after the last movie and see what will happen to them after graduation and what will they do, where will they go, their future etc. You will regret missing out seeing their "endjourney"
this show is just BEAUTIFUL!
Let's go HAIKYUU reaction is back. Btw like the new hair girl!
Honestly, I've been waiting for you guys' reaction!! You're one of the best Haikyuu! reactors for me!!
26:35 yes that is exactly why Hinata does this awesome battle cry here. Maybe even more than winning the match his specific motivation in this match against Nekoma was making Kenma desperate and to get him to say that he had fun. Nothing could be sweeter than that.
Look as a manga reader I give the match 10/10 but in anime 8/10 I enjoye it a lot actually when I did rewatch it people need to understand that the movie took the nekoma as the protagonist and karasuno the enemy or rival etc .. that's why it feels different yeah some cut moments there and there are little bit annoying but the quality they put in the animation and especially the scene with Hinata big jumb they did it very well that was phenomenal to be honest better then the manga
And like everybody else i really hope they changed their plans and make another season
OMG! Let's freaking GOOOOOOOO! Rewatch time now!!!!
I'm pretty sure the chapter of the manga where they focusing on the relationship between tsukishima and kuroo is called master and student, and that chapter sure make me cry like a kid
The fact that Hinata is still “perfecting” his BAM jump this match and he was able to jump that high against the triple block is INSANE
I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I OPENED UA-cam AND SAW THIS VIDEO OMG i missed watching your haikyuu reactions!!!!
Great reaction as always! It is more than just fun to watch Haikyuu with you guys🥰
Someone might have already mentioned this, but 'Haikyuu' is a Japanese word that means volleyball, although the word is rarely used except in special cases. As a Japanese person, I've never heard anyone use 'haikyuu' in a conversation in my life (we just use the English word "volleyball" in general ). BTW, basketball is pronounced 'lowkyuu' in Japanese, but this term is also not used in daily life.
Even though I already knew the story from the manga, it was still a pleasure to see the characters in motion. As a result, I went to the theater to watch the movie more than 10 times. Still I hope you’ll see what wonderful adults they become in manga. They’re amazing right to the very end.
you guys reminds me back at that time i watched this on cinema and already crying in the next 5 minutes the movie started 😭😭😂
I really love the movie, I do, it's amazing and beautiful but I hate how much they cut. In most matches we get to know something from at least two or three players from other teams and the rest get their moment, but in this match we already knew every single member so there were no need for introduction to their character, we got something from everyone, every single character from both teams. I knew they had to cut when they turn it into a movie, and with the time they had they did a fantastic job, but while I knew when going to see it that they cut a lot, and I even knew that my favourite parts weren't there I was still amazed at just how much they cut. I'll give examples, but it will sound a bit to harsh and that I don't appreciate the movie, I do, and I don't fault those who worked on it, they did an amazing job with what they were give, I'm only faulting the ones that decided to make it a movie, if you don't want to read criticism then it's fine, as I said it's a great movie, I really liked it but I do wish we had the many awsome or emotional moments that were cut.
Everyone had their own moment or more than one that weren't in, Tanaka, Daichi, Kageyama, Yamamoto, Yaku! anyone from either team, Inokua had a way larger part, in the movie I don't really see the impact he had, hell, even Kenma had more amazing moments and Hinata was way smarter and did a lot of tactics, he didn't just rely on Kageyama's set and the BOOM jump. The movie was very Kenma vs Hinata but the manga was how it was set up from even before their year, since the old coaches, Karasuno vs Nekoma.
I feel they rushed to much the first set. We rarely get to see a full set of Karasuno losing, especially animated, they usually rush through them (like the 3 set in shiratorizawa that was longer in the manga while in anime they almost didn't show a single point) Even though I knew Nekoma was going to win that set, I felt Karasuno was scoring more, until they showed the score board and apparently Nekoma was in the lead, I didn't feel that by the way it was presented. When they lost Daichi was beatting himself up for it because it was his ball to receive, and then he redimed himself. Karasuno also celebrated waaay more winning the second set, and with reason, it was the first time they took a single set from them!! It was to the point that people passing by thought they were celebrating winning the match, not just the set. Also, yes, the animation and direction was amazing but every time they did an amazing rally my first thought wasn't about the quality, it was "Wait! we are already at that rally!? but what about x,y and z rally? they were important" they rushed through the sets in a match against a defense specialist, where the rallys were made to feel looooong and eternal on pourpose
What also hurt me was the subtle yet significant change in Kuroo's backstory, in the manga it was all about him actually being super shy, even more than Kenma, the complete opposite to movie Kenma's "he was always like that", I was like "NoO!? What do you mean he was always like that? he wasn't", the way it was presented in the manga made me cry, probably because I relate quite a lot, I don't know it hit different.
And don't get me started on the libero moments that were cut!! They usually don't get as much attention, and they cut the most coolest moments from both of them! In a match with a defense specialist team!??
There were also scenes such as Tsukki telling Kuroo "thanks to everyone it's fun" that were just a tad longer but that made it more impactful and emotional to me. And also Daichi and Kuroo had a speech that ended with "that's why we hate those guys" showing both teams smiling at each other... It just... there were many moments like those that were soooo emotional to me
And Kenma!! I liked the first person pov, I really do, it's amazingly done, I wouldn't change that for the world, but the faces Kenma was making, especially at Lev, they were priceless!! The "idoit! The ball hasn't fallen yet!" and "It hurts..., I'm tired...I don't want it to end" they had more focuse since we could see Kenma's desperation (and weren't just amazed and focused with the animation), and it was incredible
I know it was impossible from the get go to have every single scene, unless it was like 3 hs long, I'm aware, and I know they did better, way better than expected, I'm just a bit sad that some will never read the match at it's full potential, also, I'm scared since they did that with the most anticipated match, I don't know how they'll handle what's left. Besides, the reason I find the ending pperfect, personally, is because they take every single detail and give it a satisfying resolution, if they cut those moments then the ending looses it's impact
Thanks for this reaction today, I'm sick and unable to work and hasn't been some good days lately. THanks for this.
This movie is amazing and I can't express how good I feel about it getting a movie but the amount cut scenes are in this is insane, the character momentum was way better in the manga
I saw this on theatre, one of the best movie I saw in theatre this year…. Kenma and Shoyo connection was beautiful… in the climax scene I was rooting for both team….🏐🐐
There was ample content for a 24-episode Haikyuu!! Season 5, but the commercial success of theatrical releases like Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen 0 inspired Studio Production I.G to opt for two Haikyuu!! movies instead of another season.
Losing a game on a slip looks so frustrating, but otherwise, Kenma played such a great game!
This camera movement is awesome
I wish for another season so bad! This movie worked really well because it only focused on one match, but I'm afraid that if they try to fit everything into one last movie, a lot of small details will be left out to make space for the important scenes.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUUUUUUUU!!! LESGOOOOOOOOO
OMG
Anyway, Carlie you lookiny so fabulous and pretty! I haven't seen you guys in while and you (both) looks dazzling❤
🥹❤️
As many people said in the comments, the movie for what it is, it's good. But, and a big but, your complains about how they didn't have a lot of character moments is because they did actually cut off a lot of the those moments, like a lot. There was a lot of drama and tension built up from the ground up in every set and the stakes felt soo high and the movie just felt...rushed in a weird way. Sure it had great animation and that I will say was amazing, but story wise it was soo cut up. There were moments in the manga that left you dumbfounded because certain players were highlighted in ways that movie just did not. For example, tanaka and asahi, your comment of asahi getting points quietly on the side was something that did not happen. He was the main scorer in the manga and it was almost a great way of wrapping up his story arc of finally living up to the title ace and finally being able to show that confidence. Without spoilers about what happens in the next in the manga, I am really worried on how they approach it, there is a lot of material to cover still for just 1 movie even a small 4 episode series would be enough to cover a lot of the material so they could have the right amount of material for a closing movie.
Tanaka : LEFTOOOOOO !!! that why he the 🐐 !!! ❤
You guy don't understand how much I missed the LEEEFTOO!!! FU!!kurodani and also the BAAAMS 😂😂😂
17:00 Huh ⁉️ The what Boy Carlie⁉️⁉️😭😭
2:57 fun fact: In the manga is Ange who actually says that line not Carlie☝🏻🤓
This movie was great, I'm getting the fevers just thinking about the next one.
We are really back!!!!

36:40 Don't mind me...Imma just save this in my memory and remember it for dear life and comeback to comment when it is time.
Await my return to the haikyuu reaction.
era un partido entre amigos, realmente se lo estaban pasando tan bien que no se dieron cuenta ni de que había acabado, amo como el anime te hace tener esa sensación y no terminarlo de manera epica
FINALLYYYY I'VE BEEN WAITINGGGG
OH ITS FINALLY HERE IVE BEEN WAITING
The manga was truly meant for a whole season. The movie is great but every1 loved haikyuu because of that extra oomph. That flair and drama that makes subtle moments seem so epic. But cant complain cause it's either this or nothing at all😂
All I can say for the next final Movie ( which I do hope they break into 2 parts ugh) is that PREPARE TO CRY. 😂 I dont cry for shows or stories but it was Haikyu that turned that switch on and I get emotional over the good music they have😂
I really like the final chapters of the manga. It's one of those mangas where the ending is just fulfilling or you're left somewhat content. And that's a rare scenario when it comes to storytelling. But what I loved about the ending was the resolution of Hinata's goals w regards to being the Little Giant. That's all I can spoil hahaha😂
As ABSOLUTELY AMAZING the movie was, i wish they didn't remove a lot of awesome scenes 😢
I was waiting for thiiiiiis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well haikyuu it's spell with 2 u in our vocabulary because in japanesse they use a character to pronounce some vocals a little longer and the the title haikyuu in katakana is ハイキュー where the dash is like adding another u so you pronounce it a little longer. And also about the other question, haikyuu is literally volleyball in japanesse :D (i actually speak spanish so i don't know if i explain it clearly enough, sorry if i wrote any word wrong)
I highly recommend you guys to check out this match in the manga. The movie was great, but one can't deny the lack of impact because of the moments that were cut from the manga.
i rate this movie 7/10, that's after they remove noya's foot save. that shit was freaking epic!!
if the can make a 24 episodes a movie
now they need to make this movie a 12 episode anime!
Something I'm just picking up on is that Kags really does still respect Hinata as an opponent when he interrupts his moment with Kenma after the match. He sees Hinata is getting better and he refuses to let him surpass him. Their rivalry/comradery is shown in such small ways but it feels like Kageyama is almost getting more weary of Hinata xD
