A much more casual video than usual, just having a discussion around the final movie and what's left to come. Shoutout to my old laptop I last used at Uni that somehow managed to run premiere pro and survive (did sound like a jet engine at times though lol).

@@annahdz4614 i dunno it didnt seem all that bad. been a while since i read but there wasnt a whole lot cut and it did a pretty good job of showing the match.
it's kinda amazing how the manga has some of the best sport matches i have seen, and some great anime episodes, and the studio decides to say "fuck it, 2 movies"
I think it's because studio might be overwhelmed with work, and they can't give it enough time. Like last season 4 was full with lower quality animation from another studio, even in some of the important matches.
I can’t believe this series is really coming to an end. Haikyuu impacted me so much, and got me to start playing volleyball going in high school. Now I’m playing as the libero in my college. It truly has taught me so much and changed my life. That being said I truly loved watching the movie and it was worth the wait
Yeah same for me it got me into playing volleyball and I've recently started to make some good progress with it getting some recognition from my team as a setter. An incredibly influential series.
There is so much technique taught through the manga. So much detail. Haikyuu is the encyclopedia for Volleyball in my opinion. You can learn concepts and techniques quicker (at least you start to understand them) before anyone in real life tells them to you. Honestly, every coach has his own approach to the sport, so most of the time you won't even hear about certain concepts...and you'll miss out. Reading the Haikyuu manga (and watching the anime) just makes you a slightly better Volleyball player compared to if you didn't read/watch it. Haikyuu is just that complete. An encyclopedia.
they need budget.. remember wht they've been through in season 4?. That's why I think it's fair this nekoma match turned into a movie. Even tho I still preferred 100% the anime pace over the movie pace, it is what it is.. Now that the movie making so much profit, I have faith the rest of the manga would be done justice.
The film literally encapsulated the entire match pretty much bar for bar in 80 minutes. The Nekoma match is longer than the Kamomedai and Jackals match, and Brazil isn't even an arc lmao. It's a beach tournament you don't even really see much of, and Hinata inspiring Oikawa, which is the only real meat of the "arc". Kamomedai match consists of two half sets of content and the third set isn't even properly seen. When you look at the structural storytelling of how the film will go, Hinata becoming the ultimate decoy, getting sick and the team losing, Hinata growing his skills in Brazil to ultimately make it in the big leagues.
There's no indication so far that there will be an OVA or a 3rd movie, in fact it was explicitly stated that these two movies would serve as the finale of the series, sure you have the example of Attack on Titans having like 25 final seasons but that's an exception, so there's nothing guaranteeing that there will be more Haikyu!! anime, that's why it's worrying that unless the announcement was a marketing lie, all that there's left is a 1.5 to 2 hour movie to adapt whatever they can fit in there.
Just got home from watching it, and it's a love-hate relationship. It was great visual wise, but the off-screen points and missing scenes threw me off. I got to the point where I thought the match was going to end in the first hour. In my opinion the kamomedai match should be the next movie along with everyone saying goodbye. Then turn the Brazil and jackal arcs into a series. One final movie to cover the rest is ridiculous to even thing about.
Missing scenes?? There was one core scene that was missing, which was Ukai and Nekomata as kids. And you can barely argue the 1 page flashback of Inuoka was integral. The film literally encapsulated the entire match pretty much bar for bar in 80 minutes. The Nekoma match is longer than the Kamomedai and Jackals match, and Brazil isn't even an arc lmao. It's a beach tournament you don't even really see much of, and Hinata inspiring Oikawa, which is the only real meat of the "arc". Kamomedai match consists of two half sets of content and the third set isn't even properly seen. When you look at the structural storytelling of how the film will go, Hinata becoming the ultimate decoy, getting sick and the team losing, Hinata growing his skills in Brazil to ultimately make it in the big leagues. Lets not pretend Jackals match was point for point like the Karasuno Nekoma match was. It was all central around highlights of Hinata and just how much he has grown despite when we had last seen him in his first year. Making a 2 hour film will work out fine, just like how any 2 hour film tells a story....
@@iDakk96I don't really care about the matches being fast pace but it's important to give character defining moments some time instead of rushing through it. The Hinata becoming a decoy, him getting sick and the Brazil parts are all important for hinata's character. I believe It will feel stale if it is fast paced or rushed.
perfect timing I just watched the movie today. It was good, very good but it could have been on that legendary level if it got more time to cook (I watched in the cinema btw as its being released outside of japan now).
Yeah honestly it was great but if they hadn’t cut out some parts it could’ve also been another legendary match. I wish they weren’t making these bad choices
The next movie will probably only be the komomedia match and not include the time skip or the black jackal match. It would be nice if they included the bokuto match
isn't it confirmed that the next movie will be the last? even if it only include kamomedai match, that means that the time skip and MSBY match will never be animated
No way will they just have the kamomedai arc, it literally ends with hinata leaving and we don't really even see the rest of the match. Talk about a bummer of a movie
I watched movie today. I had almost crying and so much goosebumps but... They literally CUT a lot of chapters from manga. 2.8min/chapter and some of these were cut....
The movie definitely felt weird with the amount of stuff that was cut. Seen it today as well and honestly I'm more worried than ever for the rest of the series
To be honest, I am hopeful that, just like Demon Slayer, and the Mugen train movie, that it might be adaptated into some episodes and expanded upon It may be just me being naive,but there is still a chance. :)
I just saw the movie yesterday. I got the earliest tickets I could find. I watched with my sister who loves haikyuu as well. She thought it was great, as did I. However, I did feel it was a bit short, just a bit. I don't read the manga, but I do feel it differently paced from the anime.
Its closer in feeling to the Date Tech season 1 match than the other big games in the series. when each set felt like a single episode length it was going to feel short in comparison to even how blessed we felt after the Aoba Josai game. As a manga reader I personally feel it was a good movie but at the same time It made me more worried about future movies than confident
I was talking to a friend and we suspected it’ll end at kamomedai with everything else just showing up as a flash montage at the end… everyone I’ve talked to has been hoping it’ll pull a demon slayer and release an actual season for these arcs after the movies and flesh everything out more especially after the success we saw in this movie.
I've watched the film and it's great! Most of it is in the film BUT 1) you can't stay in the moment for even a second before the next thing happens. And 2) they're able to squeeze as much as they can because they skip points (a la matches before Shiratorizawa), the Nekoma match went through so long because you really were in the match experiencing everything as it happens. This isn't necessarily a good or bad thing, just a difference that I observed. The first point is definitely a big downside of the film. You're not allowed to breathe at all in between moments.
i just watched the movie today and i thought it was honestly really good and defo didnt disappoint even in comparison to the haikyuu manga/prev anime as a whole . however it was noticeable to me, even though im an anime only rn, that they cut out a lot of the rallies and smaller developments leading to some very minor “choppiness” and rushed feeling just as someone who’s rewatched the show countless times and is familiar with the matches, but i can still say confidently that the parts that were animated were done beautifully and definitely left an impact on me. i can definitely see it being even better though- perhaps even a masterpiece if it was allowed to simmer for longer …. overall it’s a brilliant addition to a brilliant series and i rlly hope the haikyuu as an animated series is completed with just as much care and time 😢😢
It's a strange feeling when you're in a theater with a bunch of people who are stoked for the movie, but you're all such introverts that you sit in silence for 90 mins, instead of raving on the internet about the three month hype train that would be a seasonal release. I was the only one in the theater who said "Yamaguchi nice serve!" Where my nakama at?!
Probably a very unpopular opinion but to me even the nekoma vs karasuno match felt very rushed ( I am anime only btw ). The flashbacks didnt have enough time to settle in, the impactful hype moments passed by way too quickly. I really hope they do what demon slayer did and make the 2 movies into a full 25 episodes series with extra scenes, giving us about 4.6minutes/chapter which is more than enough. This is one of my favourite anime and to see it end like that is just sad.
@@kenchandrasena2070 yeah after watching the movie yesterday, thats what I plan to do. Even though I liked the movie a lot, I feel like reading the manga would give me a much better experience. It's still just sad to see my favourite anime not coming to a proper conclusion after such a long wait.
@@mattkony I don't disagree with you. Goal was to finish the storyline, which was satisfying. For those who feel that there were things missing in the movie/story, they should check out the manga to see the stuff that will not likely be in the last film.
I’m going to be watching it soon, obviously I’m sure manga readers will be disappointed with cut content but I’m hopeful that anime-onlys will not notice any pacing issues and get a great finale.
I'm an anime only. I did hope that the movie was at least 2 hours 30 minutes long, The second half of that arc felt a bit rushed, Noya and Asahi didn;t get enough epic moments, its all true. BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS INSANEE SEEING THIS IN A THEATRE. With a packed audience cheering and hooting with the same love you have for this show. Yes, the movie should've been longer, but I really will never wish for it to have been a season 5 instead of a movie, cause then I would have missed out on such an insane experience
Making the movie 2 hours would have fixed so many things I still really loved the movie but it would have been better at 2 hours or as a regular season
For the last part. I think maybe it should be a season. But after watching the Nekoma vs Karasuno movie. I believe it was the right decision. Having it episodically, and drawn out to 12 episodes...AGAIN like Shiatorizawa ...having it as 1 CONTINUOUS GAME was much more interesting than 1 episode per week. BUT that's because this is the game we've been anticipating since the beginning, but the Kamomedai is one we can get as a season
I'm guessing they'll take 90% of the time to do the Kamomedai match and do the post time-skip as if it was something like a "post-credits" scene, possibly ending at the start of the MSBY x Jackals match the same way that the manga ends at the start of the Olympics match. Or maybe they'll just skip that match entirely, who knows?
Like most of you, saw the movie earlier. And although i enjoyed it, it did fall short of my lofty expectations. I expected more build-up from certain scenes and more epicness from others. It made me think that having this all in 1 movie and not waiting for a weekly chapter to build up the hype took a lot of those aspects out of it. And without getting into the specifics for spoiler reasons, i also preferred some words used in the manga translation over the subs here since it just gave more impact. Overall, my take was this was more of a tribute movie over an actual animated movie adaptation of the source material. I still enjoyed it but the long wait since the last season to the release of this movie made the anticipation hard to match and unfortunately didnt do it for me
I watched the movie then carefully going to the manga as I am anime only. But I noticed a lot of scenes from the manga that was cut out in the movie. I loved the visual in the movie and still appreciated the hard work and the quality of the animation and the sound engineering but it lacked that off courts scenes I missed.
The movie was really good! But it was missing one of Haikyuu's biggest strengths for me: showcasing everyone's contribution. It was good for my Kenma-loving heart, but even then I was always waiting for Kageyama, Yaku, and Noya's shining moments. I didn't specifically remember what those moments were as it's been a while since my last reread, but I knew they had them bec Furudate had always emphasized the strengths of even his smallest side characters. I felt it was criminal to basically cut all of Kageyama's highlight moments bec those also tie in directly with Hinata's. I will hold out hope for a season 5, and 6, and 7. 😢
I desperately hope that the success the dumpster battle had will make them decide to make two more movies and at least one OVA. OVA for Fukurodani vs Mujinazaka. Movie for Kamomedai vs Karasuno. Movie for Brazil + Jackals vs Adlers
just watched after re-binging all previous seasons. the animation and sound effects were amazing in theaters! But I think I def was too short I think more time would've made each moment hit harder bc it just felt like checking boxes of perspectives that needed to be shown instead of fleshed out. Fav is still shiratorazawa arc
Finally, the movie got released here in my country this week and finally I can watch your video without getting spoiled ^^; _Although I did read the manga countless times and know the lines by heart..._ but I didn't know what would be covered. And all I now really want to say is, I hope they will make two more movies. How to split this up, I can't say. But only one would be really frustrating regardless of what they leave out. Every chapter adds something and will be sorely missed when left out.
I know it's not gonna happen, but my ideal scenario: - Short 10-epidode season with Kamomedai vs Karasuno match and Fukurodani match (mini flash-forward to Brazil at the very end) One week after the last episode airs: - 2nd Movie drops covering Brazil arc (about one third of runtime), MSBY vs Adlers, and Olympics (just the last minutes)
I'm thinking the next movie will be the next match + a short follow up to show the olympic team I imagine hoishumi says his iconic "i'll be waiting for you" and we'll get an anime original "I'm here" but at the olympics given run time I can only hope
What sucks as well is the distribution of the film. I live in a decent size metro area. 4 cities that is about the same size as KC. We have six theaters within 20 minutes of me and none showing Haikyuu movie. I need to go 2 hours away to watch it.
Its amazing how people still think the next movie will adapt EVERYTHING THATS LEFT. Not that hard people, its obvious the nest movie will be just kamomedai ffs
They announced that there will be 2 films to finish the series. Not only will Kamomedai be a horrible way to end Haikyuu in animated form, fans would not want them to end without going to the end of the story.
@@smolchibi7128 I'd like to think that but I'm not holding out hope. It's not like the anime ever performed poorly. It's possible that season 4 didn't do as well as the other seasons. But it's always been wildly popular, both internationally and in Japan. That includes season 4. Hell, Haikyuu is still being used to promote the Japan volleyball league.
To me, the movie was extremes I loved it and I hated it I hated it because the movie was trying to fit 35 (manga episodes?) into an hour and a half. The amazing thing that I loved about Haikyu from season 1-4 is the character arc, the inner monologues, the growth, evolution of the team as individuals and together. This movie hardly made that impact since it's only an hour and a half long. The animation style was very different. The angles of the shots, the synchronised attacks, all those animation styles and choices were completely different and I wasn't the biggest fan. What absolutely slapped about the movie was it was Haikyu. And we love Haikyu.
The Last Arc NEEDS to be SLOW. If they don't adapt the Last Arc with a little bit of slow pacing it won't do justice to the manga's ending. Also there are 4 Arcs left after the movie. 1. Fukorodani vs Mujinazaka - Doing this arc in OVA won't make any sense. Its like 90% Bokuto and Akaashi's character development. (i don't want this to be nekoma vs fukorodani where the skipped through most of the things) 2. Kamomedai vs Karasuno - I think they can rush a bit here but I would personally like more of Hinata playing with the blockers left and right. 3. Hinata in Brazil - I need this arc to be slow and just focus on Hinata's development. 4. Schweiden Adlers vs MSBY Black Jackals - They need to go all out on the animation.
i rejust literally finished watching it lmao. as a manga reader, the pacing was definitely fast. but if you are an anime only, i feel like then pacing will be alright. thats all i could say.
this is also my concern as well, im not sure who proposed making it into two movies but i hope they regret going forward with this decision. im worried they will rush through the national arc and go into ts or just do national arc and that's it i really hope like you said they will do 2hrs for the second movie and maybe a small glimpse of ts... really want to see the miya twins, omi, etc to all be animated
They could release the last movie in two parts like how they do with all the popular series. Like the rest of the nationals in Part I with a sneak peek into Brazil scenes and all the remaining flashforward scenes in Part II. But we all know they won’t 😭
The film is good, I don’t see how people don’t enjoy what’s there. The points done as a pov perspective with Kenma in particular is incredible. there’s just a feeling of being shortchanged. There’s basically nothing of even Kageyama, let alone the other members of the team. Even Hinyata gets very little time outside of Kenma’s perspective of him and there’s not enough of establishing the actual history of the rivalry either.
I honestly wouldnt mind if they cut some of the matches short. We've seen plenty of matches in the anime, and I found some scenes in season 4 to get a bit repetitive. Honestly, the most I remember from the manga is the brazil arc, further character development with where everyone ended up in the future, and the msby match. Honestly the characters themselves are what drew me to Haikyuu so much. I just hope they highlight the characters in the final movie. //Also maybe a controversial take: I wouldnt mind if the Kamomedai match ends up being just a flashback and we start off with Shoyou in Brazil
Loved following/reading this series so much, and I did really enjoy the movie! That being said if they do cut out/cut short the last arcs like Brazil/Jackals/Olympics it would leave a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. I thoroughly enjoyed the Jackals game a huge amount and it really shows the amount of growth Hinata gained as a player. It would be a huge shame for anime-only's not to experience that magic
I just came back from watching the movie, I was pretty disappointed yet not too surprised because I assumed this would happen when I heard they were doing these movies. There were a lot of cut scenes and the emotional scenes they did put in didn't have any room to breathe because the pacing was too fast. The movie level animation was great but honestly I would give that up for a more thorough adaptation.
My theory at first was that they'd show Kamomedai as flashbacks with Hitoka narrating, then cutting to Brazil. And having Kageyama and Hinata meeting at the world championships be a post credit scene. But I was definitely disappointed at how short movie 1 was
I think what they did was great. The movie was beautiful, and personally I was really disappointed with season 4 of haikyuu because of the animation quality and pacing. I've read the manga, and I think Haikyuu is one of those series that can have a faster pace considering the nature of the sport of volleyball itself. I think anyone who thinks that season 5 would've been a great idea really just don't know what they want, finishing through the manga and everything I think Haikyuu's nationals saga deserves better budget than what the anime had and making it into a movie was probably the way they could make it happen.
Sticking a spoiler warning on the top for anyone who's yet to see the film, as i realised my feelings give a lot away: I'm going to check out before the spoilers (I know the general gist of the future chapters but want to wait). But I personally feel like the movie worked because it went too quickly. This is the game things have built towards for four seasons, and it finished before any climatic spike; it's true to life where you want a match to keep going, to have fun even if exhausted, but the end result is often decided partway through. However, that style only works for a team like Nekoma which we've gotten to know. We barely know the other team, amd Haikyu's strength is making you like the opponents through reflections on character development rather than on pitch powerups. The film still did some but jot as much because we've seen so much of Nekoma, and i worry that isn't going to be possible with future matches.
I have watched the movie a few days and I love it. I also have the same worries too. I think they will mention a little bit only about the Kamomedai vs Karasuno match and Brazil arc in the final movie, focusing on the match between MSBY Black Jackals and Schweiden Adlers and some post credits for the Olympic.
saw the movie yesterday, love it but it felt kinda short and there's no way in hell one other movie can take all the remaining manga material, anyways i love Haikyuu
I dont understand how the studios dont understand if the movies would do well? Like isnt this the most popular sports anime? If not top two or three? Im so confused because this anime has done insanely well throughout its lifespan and even throughout times between seasons where the took years to make, it was still insanely popular. Very strange that they think it might not do well.
Honestly I saw the movie yesterday and the pacing was really not great, the match was over so fast and it felt so weird. I am really not that happy with how it turned out, despite the animation and sfx being stellar, the pacing was just really jarring, especially compared to the previous seasons. It just felt so rushed and ended so suddenly, it really caught me off guard. I am really hoping movie 2 will tease a season 5 becasue there is no way we get everything in the movie, it just isn't going to happen.
Sadly the next movie will probably just be the Kamomedai match with a 2-5 minutes scene at the end with the credit for the Brazil-V1-Olympic as a clip compilation. It sucks big time, let's hope that it doesn't end like this.
The Jackals match can be condensed. With entire points taking at least a chapter. This could get really boring in an animated format and could easily be condensed to show everyone watching the match together and to get the good points still in. I know people won't like that, but its probably whats going to happen. 35-45 minutes for Kamomedai match, 15 minutes Brazil, 10-15 minutes Jackals & Olympic scene. Does it feel short? Yes, and I'd love a S5. At this point we're not getting that though.
I was annoyed. I thought i was watching it in japanese with sub title but its fine. It could have been longer and not feel rushed. If it was longer it would have been better. It doesn't have the same vibe or feel like when you watch the series
Honestly? I think Brazil will be shortened, based on the way the recap movies are cut - I think Pedro, Heitor, etc wouldn't be there, I think they'll do a montage, MAYBE a beach volleyball round then Black Jackals and then Kagehina fist bumping in the Olympics
I agree that they will cut off 95% of the Fukurodani match, showing at least a couple of rallies but I also think they'll release an OVA with the match at some point. That leaves us with roughly ~30 mins of each arc, Kamomedai, Brazil, and Jackals match. Which is quite good if you ask me, prolly Jackals match won't be as long as it's more of a celebratory match and wrapping up of the series. Also, the Kamomedai match doesn't have quite the moments to make it as long as other matches. Gao's rivalry with Hoshiumi can be left mostly undeveloped, and Hirugami's journey probably as well (though I'd really like if they didn't). I have high hopes for this, the movie has been a revival for the series and it's doing reaaaaally good, so they might steer towards a more lenghty movie, or even another movie. Really hope they can deliver the great end this series deserves.
Besides the dumpster battle, they would have to make 2 movies to complete everything in a good way, and it still won't be as good as seasons. The first movie will have to contain Fukurodani vs Mujinazaka and Karasuno vs Kamomedai. Starting the 3rd and final movie with Hinata in Brazil would also make the movie a really good sequel to the first 2, since its a beginning of an entire new arc and a new movie. Hopefully this happens. I wish they would just stick to making episodes instead, it's disappointing
A single game of real life volleyball is longer than that movie... The anime spent so much time building up the inevitable dumpster battle and then it’s forced into a 90 minute package
My prediction: Brazil is getting 15 mins. A draw out training montage with overlapping scenes, Oikawa will be talking over dinner while they show Hinata training on the beach. It'll be an intermission.
Just saw the movie. It was fantastic! Had to hold back tears at the end. People complaining that they cut out a lot of the manga need to realize that movies tend to do this and that isn’t bad. The animation and music were amazing! If I were them I do it like this: Movie: karasuno vs kammodai OVA: fukoridnoai game Movie: Hinata in Brazil Movie: hinata vs kageyama Pro game. I can only hope
Honestly I’m just hoping there fucking with us and gauging the success of the two movies too see if they can make a third movie about the last two arcs they can even add filler fuck it If not at least give us a 7 eps ova
Prob not a good idea but make the 2nd movie's ending a cliffhanger for hinata's debut with the jackals (maybe up to his homecoming spike) and keep the rest of the match/olympics into a third movie/OVA..my hope is that it'll build up hype for the whole jackals match in the next installment Haikyuu's last few arcs are the deepest in terms of character development and overall message (ex. "This is still volleyball") that I'd really rather not cut anything just for it to be compressed into a 90 min movie. As a fan, there's so much to the final arcs like hinata/kageyama/asahi/oikawa character arcs coming full circle and the various post-timeskip endings (what they ended up doing after HS) that it feels a disservice to Furudate's storytelling to cut any of them from the movie adaptation. I really hope we get a satisfactory anime adaptation to the remainder of the story..Haikyuu deserves it the most
I know only one more movie is supposed to be released but I think they will just adapt to the end of highschool for it and then adapt everyone's adult lives in a set of OVAs or something small.
Haven’t read the manga, but this movie had my inner child screaming as I waited YEARS for this. However, It hurts to say I was disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, Kenma’s development and story was beautiful, but the movie still lacked. It didn’t feel like a movie. It heavily focused on the game itself, and I KNOW that’s what this anime is about, but what if we got more outside clips? more backstories? In terms of becoming a season, I probably would have loved watching the episodes, but I don’t think this is worth becoming a movie. In a movie, I’d probably expect more rollercoasters and character growth scenes, which Is why I feel quite bummed. Other than that, I’d say the movie was beautiful, but quite lacking.
The first movie was focused on wrapping up Hinata vs Kenma, I would wager that the second will focus on Kageyama vs Hinata (Jackels) and use the Kamomedai and Brazil arcs as flashbacks to Hinata's failures and growth, ending with Olympics and Prix.
as a haikyuu fan since 2013 seeing the series end in just 2 movies is disappointing, i just watched the movie yesterday, i love it but thats because i love the story and the characters but another season 5 would be the best scenario, its dissapointing that the main reason we are having just 2 movies is because they are tired of animating haikyuu and i get its difficult to animate and they want to get the most profit. i hope we can get a short season for time skip or at least some ovas but i hope qe can see haikyuu animated fully
bro in the matter of like 2 mins during the middle of it, a new set started right, then like 1min later the score was 18-16 not even 2 minutes after the set started 😭
Money probably. Studios are only afforded so much money to make a final product. They probably thought it would be better to put all their money and effort into a shorter film to maintain quality throughout. Otherwise they would possibly have to stretch out a budget only capable of producing a 1.25 hour film into a 2 hour film. While I’d prefer a 2 hour movie, I can see why it likely ended up the length it was
As someone who only read the manga after the ending of the nekoma game (like only those remaining chapters and nothing else), can anyone give me a brief rundown of stuff that was cut? Just curious
I liked the kenma pov direction they took, but it is stil a bit saddening that they didnt include the panel where both the teams are shown in a panned out wide shot, with the flashback comparison to their training match. It, personally, made it feel anticlimactic; considering how short the movie was.
I’m hoping that it’s longer. My delulu is hoping for a 3 hour long anime movie so that they have decent time for both games and the Brazil arc but idk if that’s even possible for anime movies. The fast pace is honestly pretty cool because it gives to the true speed of volleyball as a sport. It feels like a genuine game w/ the least amount of filler that shounen adds (which is almost always good in this case) and it makes it super epic. But if the Nekoma game was like 40 minutes instead of the actual ~70 minutes it was in the movie, I’d actually cry. I do not want that for the next games
If I'm not mistaken, there has never been an anime movie with 3 hours runtime. As much as I hoped that the next movie will be long, it's most likely not gonna happen. They have shown that they are willing to cut majority of the Nekoma matches into a 80 minutes movie. I wouldn't be surprised if the next movie is around 100-120 minutes.
They have earned a lot of money with this movie, now it's time to invest in an actually legendary S5, they can release its movie after the season and we will definitely watch it so they can make the profit for 6th season and then make it a movie after that as well, everyone will be happy happy happy 🙌
I still think they are going to make a season 5.. they just want to get as money as possible woth the movies, like it was done with demon slayer and the movie about the train
The long anime form has more warmth in heart than movie, which is suitable to adapt from manga. The companies took opportunity making tanjiro movie which earns a lot, they try to replicate this success into haikyuu movie, it’s just not suitable.
A season 5 and jackals vs Alders movie is the dream I don't need a movie for kamomedai put everything else in a season 5 bokuto's match included and release 2 more movies for jackals vs alders and olympics
I was already upset with the pacing of the movie honestly.. Why cutting important moments ?? It's not as if the movie was already too long, a lot of important scenes were cropped or not animated at all, and the final result looks more like a Hinata vs Kenma than a Karasuno vs Nekoma. But as the second movie isn't in preparation and hasn't even been announced yet, a reviewer said in a video that they were "putting ou a few feelers" with this movie, and that if it did well at box office (which he did), they would maybe consider one more movie, or at least 1 two parts movie, each part being 1h30 long.
So what you are saying is (I only watched till the sexond spoiler warning), that I'll get the choice ebtween reading the manga - which sin't gonna happen, volleyball just doesn't work as a manga for me (likely cause I have no...feeling for it, since I'm more thna fine with blue lock but I also PLAYED soccer for over a decade ad never truly stopped so far) - or watch a movie that's gonna be super rushed in terms of pacing, likely cutting tons of stuff to even remotely fit it, which tends to end in them cutting stuff that'd actually be important as that always somehow seems to happen...in other words, Haikyuu basically is done, or to be considered to be done for me? :(
i think people are hallucinating on copium if they think we are getting anything past high school, i really like the brazil arc and adults games but there's no chance we get to that animated, only the most supper fans would be interested in that and it wouldn't fit a movie setting

A much more casual video than usual, just having a discussion around the final movie and what's left to come. Shoutout to my old laptop I last used at Uni that somehow managed to run premiere pro and survive (did sound like a jet engine at times though lol).

Have you watched the movie yet? I wouldn't say it was fine pasing wise
Do you think the chances of a third film might be higher due to the success of this movie?
@@annahdz4614 i dunno it didnt seem all that bad. been a while since i read but there wasnt a whole lot cut and it did a pretty good job of showing the match.
it's kinda amazing how the manga has some of the best sport matches i have seen, and some great anime episodes, and the studio decides to say "fuck it, 2 movies"
Not just that but is globally acclaimed one of the best if not the best sports anime ever
And they still did the damn movie, unbelievable
I think it's because studio might be overwhelmed with work, and they can't give it enough time. Like last season 4 was full with lower quality animation from another studio, even in some of the important matches.
@@NikolaNevenov86honestly, i think the fans can wait a 1-1.5 years for a good quality series. i feel like they could do something about it.
I can’t believe this series is really coming to an end. Haikyuu impacted me so much, and got me to start playing volleyball going in high school. Now I’m playing as the libero in my college. It truly has taught me so much and changed my life. That being said I truly loved watching the movie and it was worth the wait
Yeah same for me it got me into playing volleyball and I've recently started to make some good progress with it getting some recognition from my team as a setter. An incredibly influential series.
DO A ROLLING THUNDER IN A TOURNAMENT AND POST IT ON YOUR UA-cam
There is so much technique taught through the manga. So much detail. Haikyuu is the encyclopedia for Volleyball in my opinion. You can learn concepts and techniques quicker (at least you start to understand them) before anyone in real life tells them to you. Honestly, every coach has his own approach to the sport, so most of the time you won't even hear about certain concepts...and you'll miss out. Reading the Haikyuu manga (and watching the anime) just makes you a slightly better Volleyball player compared to if you didn't read/watch it. Haikyuu is just that complete. An encyclopedia.
Not making a season 5 of haikyuu was a mistake from the beginning
For us atleast
they need budget.. remember wht they've been through in season 4?. That's why I think it's fair this nekoma match turned into a movie. Even tho I still preferred 100% the anime pace over the movie pace, it is what it is.. Now that the movie making so much profit, I have faith the rest of the manga would be done justice.
it could have been a s5 and the final movie where they show us the final match and the olympic stuff but anyways we can't do anything
The film literally encapsulated the entire match pretty much bar for bar in 80 minutes. The Nekoma match is longer than the Kamomedai and Jackals match, and Brazil isn't even an arc lmao. It's a beach tournament you don't even really see much of, and Hinata inspiring Oikawa, which is the only real meat of the "arc". Kamomedai match consists of two half sets of content and the third set isn't even properly seen.
When you look at the structural storytelling of how the film will go, Hinata becoming the ultimate decoy, getting sick and the team losing, Hinata growing his skills in Brazil to ultimately make it in the big leagues.
@@iDakk96 your point?
Movie 1: Nekoma
Movie 2: Kamomedai
OVA/mini season: Brazil
Movie 3: Jackals (post credits olympics)
Easy math
what about bokuto match?
There's no indication so far that there will be an OVA or a 3rd movie, in fact it was explicitly stated that these two movies would serve as the finale of the series, sure you have the example of Attack on Titans having like 25 final seasons but that's an exception, so there's nothing guaranteeing that there will be more Haikyu!! anime, that's why it's worrying that unless the announcement was a marketing lie, all that there's left is a 1.5 to 2 hour movie to adapt whatever they can fit in there.
If they were gonna do another OVA or a 3rd movie, they would’ve said
have you watch his points that next movie can't be just Kamomedai? it will not do well in theaters seeing an ending that Karasuno lose
@JSSRTU27 Attack on Titan didn't and it still got split up a bunch
Just got home from watching it, and it's a love-hate relationship. It was great visual wise, but the off-screen points and missing scenes threw me off. I got to the point where I thought the match was going to end in the first hour. In my opinion the kamomedai match should be the next movie along with everyone saying goodbye. Then turn the Brazil and jackal arcs into a series. One final movie to cover the rest is ridiculous to even thing about.
Yeah. 2 movies and no special episode is crazy
agreed!!
Missing scenes?? There was one core scene that was missing, which was Ukai and Nekomata as kids. And you can barely argue the 1 page flashback of Inuoka was integral.

When you look at the structural storytelling of how the film will go, Hinata becoming the ultimate decoy, getting sick and the team losing, Hinata growing his skills in Brazil to ultimately make it in the big leagues. Lets not pretend Jackals match was point for point like the Karasuno Nekoma match was. It was all central around highlights of Hinata and just how much he has grown despite when we had last seen him in his first year. Making a 2 hour film will work out fine, just like how any 2 hour film tells a story....
@@iDakk96I don't really care about the matches being fast pace but it's important to give character defining moments some time instead of rushing through it. The Hinata becoming a decoy, him getting sick and the Brazil parts are all important for hinata's character. I believe It will feel stale if it is fast paced or rushed.
@@Unknown-wi9ds if going by the Dumpster battle film, that isn't a problem. Same director.
perfect timing I just watched the movie today. It was good, very good but it could have been on that legendary level if it got more time to cook (I watched in the cinema btw as its being released outside of japan now).
this is so true
How to watch?
@@Eren_yeager291 I watched it in the cinema
Yeah honestly it was great but if they hadn’t cut out some parts it could’ve also been another legendary match. I wish they weren’t making these bad choices
i am kinda disappointed about it as it missed a lot of details. but it got to the main ones. It's bitter sweet for me
The next movie will probably only be the komomedia match and not include the time skip or the black jackal match. It would be nice if they included the bokuto match
isn't it confirmed that the next movie will be the last?
even if it only include kamomedai match, that means that the time skip and MSBY match will never be animated
they'd at least include the last pages tho right? like the team jp part
No way will they just have the kamomedai arc, it literally ends with hinata leaving and we don't really even see the rest of the match. Talk about a bummer of a movie
i personally think (if they don’t do Bokuto’s match OVA) they’ll do the komendai match and probably end the movie with the brazil arc
Bokuto match probably OVA
I watched movie today. I had almost crying and so much goosebumps but... They literally CUT a lot of chapters from manga. 2.8min/chapter and some of these were cut....
Yea, the movie was great but they cut a lot of great stuff that would have been great to see and honestly does a lot for other characters development.
me 2 !!!!!
The movie definitely felt weird with the amount of stuff that was cut. Seen it today as well and honestly I'm more worried than ever for the rest of the series
@@therealnemesis1627 Everyone keeps saying stuff was cut but WHAT stuff did it cut that was super important and/or needed for the story
Did they cut the kenma and kuro backstory ? Cause i really loved that part
To be honest, I am hopeful that, just like Demon Slayer, and the Mugen train movie, that it might be adaptated into some episodes and expanded upon
It may be just me being naive,but there is still a chance. :)
I wish too!
This is the logical step in my opinion. They shafted Asahi soo bad in this movie and unlike the other games I think this was one of his best moments
I just saw the movie yesterday. I got the earliest tickets I could find. I watched with my sister who loves haikyuu as well. She thought it was great, as did I. However, I did feel it was a bit short, just a bit. I don't read the manga, but I do feel it differently paced from the anime.
Yes it's quite short. I won't mind them doing the AOT route of squeezing the content out of us 😭
if you read the manga then you might not like the movie much
Where can I watch haikyuu movie except theatre
@@kongking2447 it just came to the U.S yesterday so you'll have to wait
Its closer in feeling to the Date Tech season 1 match than the other big games in the series. when each set felt like a single episode length it was going to feel short in comparison to even how blessed we felt after the Aoba Josai game. As a manga reader I personally feel it was a good movie but at the same time It made me more worried about future movies than confident
I just saw the movie, and I was NOT disappointed!!
I was talking to a friend and we suspected it’ll end at kamomedai with everything else just showing up as a flash montage at the end… everyone I’ve talked to has been hoping it’ll pull a demon slayer and release an actual season for these arcs after the movies and flesh everything out more especially after the success we saw in this movie.
I've watched the film and it's great! Most of it is in the film BUT 1) you can't stay in the moment for even a second before the next thing happens. And 2) they're able to squeeze as much as they can because they skip points (a la matches before Shiratorizawa), the Nekoma match went through so long because you really were in the match experiencing everything as it happens. This isn't necessarily a good or bad thing, just a difference that I observed. The first point is definitely a big downside of the film. You're not allowed to breathe at all in between moments.
i just watched the movie today and i thought it was honestly really good and defo didnt disappoint even in comparison to the haikyuu manga/prev anime as a whole . however it was noticeable to me, even though im an anime only rn, that they cut out a lot of the rallies and smaller developments leading to some very minor “choppiness” and rushed feeling just as someone who’s rewatched the show countless times and is familiar with the matches, but i can still say confidently that the parts that were animated were done beautifully and definitely left an impact on me. i can definitely see it being even better though- perhaps even a masterpiece if it was allowed to simmer for longer …. overall it’s a brilliant addition to a brilliant series and i rlly hope the haikyuu as an animated series is completed with just as much care and time 😢😢
It's a strange feeling when you're in a theater with a bunch of people who are stoked for the movie, but you're all such introverts that you sit in silence for 90 mins, instead of raving on the internet about the three month hype train that would be a seasonal release.
I was the only one in the theater who said "Yamaguchi nice serve!" Where my nakama at?!
Probably a very unpopular opinion but to me even the nekoma vs karasuno match felt very rushed ( I am anime only btw ). The flashbacks didnt have enough time to settle in, the impactful hype moments passed by way too quickly. I really hope they do what demon slayer did and make the 2 movies into a full 25 episodes series with extra scenes, giving us about 4.6minutes/chapter which is more than enough. This is one of my favourite anime and to see it end like that is just sad.
You should go to the manga and read everything after the inarizaki match. At this point you can appreciate what you missed
@@kenchandrasena2070 yeah after watching the movie yesterday, thats what I plan to do. Even though I liked the movie a lot, I feel like reading the manga would give me a much better experience. It's still just sad to see my favourite anime not coming to a proper conclusion after such a long wait.
@@kenchandrasena2070 the mangas art is pretty damn average
@@mattkony I don't disagree with you. Goal was to finish the storyline, which was satisfying. For those who feel that there were things missing in the movie/story, they should check out the manga to see the stuff that will not likely be in the last film.
@@mattkony haikyuu has one of the best manga art of all time, you just don't know what you're talking about
I’m going to be watching it soon, obviously I’m sure manga readers will be disappointed with cut content but I’m hopeful that anime-onlys will not notice any pacing issues and get a great finale.
I'm an anime only. I did hope that the movie was at least 2 hours 30 minutes long, The second half of that arc felt a bit rushed, Noya and Asahi didn;t get enough epic moments, its all true. BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS INSANEE SEEING THIS IN A THEATRE. With a packed audience cheering and hooting with the same love you have for this show. Yes, the movie should've been longer, but I really will never wish for it to have been a season 5 instead of a movie, cause then I would have missed out on such an insane experience
Making the movie 2 hours would have fixed so many things I still really loved the movie but it would have been better at 2 hours or as a regular season
For the last part. I think maybe it should be a season. But after watching the Nekoma vs Karasuno movie. I believe it was the right decision. Having it episodically, and drawn out to 12 episodes...AGAIN like Shiatorizawa ...having it as 1 CONTINUOUS GAME was much more interesting than 1 episode per week. BUT that's because this is the game we've been anticipating since the beginning, but the Kamomedai is one we can get as a season
I'm guessing they'll take 90% of the time to do the Kamomedai match and do the post time-skip as if it was something like a "post-credits" scene, possibly ending at the start of the MSBY x Jackals match the same way that the manga ends at the start of the Olympics match. Or maybe they'll just skip that match entirely, who knows?
Like most of you, saw the movie earlier. And although i enjoyed it, it did fall short of my lofty expectations.
I expected more build-up from certain scenes and more epicness from others. It made me think that having this all in 1 movie and not waiting for a weekly chapter to build up the hype took a lot of those aspects out of it.
And without getting into the specifics for spoiler reasons, i also preferred some words used in the manga translation over the subs here since it just gave more impact.
Overall, my take was this was more of a tribute movie over an actual animated movie adaptation of the source material. I still enjoyed it but the long wait since the last season to the release of this movie made the anticipation hard to match and unfortunately didnt do it for me
Dang dude I wasn’t expecting your video on this out so soon lol
I watched the movie then carefully going to the manga as I am anime only. But I noticed a lot of scenes from the manga that was cut out in the movie.
I loved the visual in the movie and still appreciated the hard work and the quality of the animation and the sound engineering but it lacked that off courts scenes I missed.
The movie was really good! But it was missing one of Haikyuu's biggest strengths for me: showcasing everyone's contribution. It was good for my Kenma-loving heart, but even then I was always waiting for Kageyama, Yaku, and Noya's shining moments. I didn't specifically remember what those moments were as it's been a while since my last reread, but I knew they had them bec Furudate had always emphasized the strengths of even his smallest side characters. I felt it was criminal to basically cut all of Kageyama's highlight moments bec those also tie in directly with Hinata's.
I will hold out hope for a season 5, and 6, and 7. 😢
I desperately hope that the success the dumpster battle had will make them decide to make two more movies and at least one OVA. OVA for Fukurodani vs Mujinazaka. Movie for Kamomedai vs Karasuno. Movie for Brazil + Jackals vs Adlers
I don’t understand why they don’t just either make more movies or had normal seasons hell even longer movies
just watched after re-binging all previous seasons. the animation and sound effects were amazing in theaters! But I think I def was too short I think more time would've made each moment hit harder bc it just felt like checking boxes of perspectives that needed to be shown instead of fleshed out. Fav is still shiratorazawa arc
Finally, the movie got released here in my country this week and finally I can watch your video without getting spoiled ^^;
_Although I did read the manga countless times and know the lines by heart..._ but I didn't know what would be covered.
And all I now really want to say is, I hope they will make two more movies. How to split this up, I can't say. But only one would be really frustrating regardless of what they leave out. Every chapter adds something and will be sorely missed when left out.
I know it's not gonna happen, but my ideal scenario:
- Short 10-epidode season with Kamomedai vs Karasuno match and Fukurodani match
(mini flash-forward to Brazil at the very end)
One week after the last episode airs:
- 2nd Movie drops covering Brazil arc (about one third of runtime), MSBY vs Adlers, and Olympics (just the last minutes)
That'd be nice, but yeah unfortunately unlikely :(
I'm thinking the next movie will be the next match + a short follow up to show the olympic team
I imagine hoishumi says his iconic "i'll be waiting for you" and we'll get an anime original "I'm here" but at the olympics
given run time I can only hope
What sucks as well is the distribution of the film. I live in a decent size metro area. 4 cities that is about the same size as KC. We have six theaters within 20 minutes of me and none showing Haikyuu movie. I need to go 2 hours away to watch it.
Yeah I've heard a few people say this
Its amazing how people still think the next movie will adapt EVERYTHING THATS LEFT. Not that hard people, its obvious the nest movie will be just kamomedai ffs
They announced that there will be 2 films to finish the series. Not only will Kamomedai be a horrible way to end Haikyuu in animated form, fans would not want them to end without going to the end of the story.
@@rainbowbarfeverywhere They will see how well the movie did and either do a trilogy or have an extra season after the next movie.
@@smolchibi7128 I'd like to think that but I'm not holding out hope. It's not like the anime ever performed poorly. It's possible that season 4 didn't do as well as the other seasons. But it's always been wildly popular, both internationally and in Japan. That includes season 4. Hell, Haikyuu is still being used to promote the Japan volleyball league.
Whys it obvious? I've not seen anything suggesting that
To me, the movie was extremes
I loved it and I hated it
I hated it because the movie was trying to fit 35 (manga episodes?) into an hour and a half.
The amazing thing that I loved about Haikyu from season 1-4 is the character arc, the inner monologues, the growth, evolution of the team as individuals and together.
This movie hardly made that impact since it's only an hour and a half long. The animation style was very different. The angles of the shots, the synchronised attacks, all those animation styles and choices were completely different and I wasn't the biggest fan.
What absolutely slapped about the movie was it was Haikyu. And we love Haikyu.
the movie isn’t out in my country so i wonder how much i’ll be waiting 💔
The Last Arc NEEDS to be SLOW. If they don't adapt the Last Arc with a little bit of slow pacing it won't do justice to the manga's ending.
Also there are 4 Arcs left after the movie.
1. Fukorodani vs Mujinazaka - Doing this arc in OVA won't make any sense. Its like 90% Bokuto and Akaashi's character development. (i don't want this to be nekoma vs fukorodani where the skipped through most of the things)
2. Kamomedai vs Karasuno - I think they can rush a bit here but I would personally like more of Hinata playing with the blockers left and right.
3. Hinata in Brazil - I need this arc to be slow and just focus on Hinata's development.
4. Schweiden Adlers vs MSBY Black Jackals - They need to go all out on the animation.
i rejust literally finished watching it lmao. as a manga reader, the pacing was definitely fast. but if you are an anime only, i feel like then pacing will be alright. thats all i could say.
this is also my concern as well, im not sure who proposed making it into two movies but i hope they regret going forward with this decision. im worried they will rush through the national arc and go into ts or just do national arc and that's it
i really hope like you said they will do 2hrs for the second movie and maybe a small glimpse of ts... really want to see the miya twins, omi, etc to all be animated
They could release the last movie in two parts like how they do with all the popular series. Like the rest of the nationals in Part I with a sneak peek into Brazil scenes and all the remaining flashforward scenes in Part II. But we all know they won’t 😭
I pray they do
the brazil arc is my favorite arc thus far, pls i need it q-q
Three movies is not enough. We needed at LEAST a full season. This is really sad
The film is good, I don’t see how people don’t enjoy what’s there. The points done as a pov perspective with Kenma in particular is incredible.
there’s just a feeling of being shortchanged. There’s basically nothing of even Kageyama, let alone the other members of the team. Even Hinyata gets very little time outside of Kenma’s perspective of him and there’s not enough of establishing the actual history of the rivalry either.
The Dumpster Battle movie was really good. but they REALLY need to make the next one longer if they're gonna make it a movie.
I honestly wouldnt mind if they cut some of the matches short. We've seen plenty of matches in the anime, and I found some scenes in season 4 to get a bit repetitive. Honestly, the most I remember from the manga is the brazil arc, further character development with where everyone ended up in the future, and the msby match. Honestly the characters themselves are what drew me to Haikyuu so much. I just hope they highlight the characters in the final movie.
//Also maybe a controversial take: I wouldnt mind if the Kamomedai match ends up being just a flashback and we start off with Shoyou in Brazil
I watched the movie yesterday and love it, however it left me wanting more.
Loved following/reading this series so much, and I did really enjoy the movie! That being said if they do cut out/cut short the last arcs like Brazil/Jackals/Olympics it would leave a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. I thoroughly enjoyed the Jackals game a huge amount and it really shows the amount of growth Hinata gained as a player. It would be a huge shame for anime-only's not to experience that magic
In short if your an anime only I implore you to go and read the manga in order to get the full experience with nothing cut
i got this feeling this feeling that 2nd movie, at best, they will end it at the beginning jackals, specifically the "IM HERE" [4:31]
I just came back from watching the movie, I was pretty disappointed yet not too surprised because I assumed this would happen when I heard they were doing these movies. There were a lot of cut scenes and the emotional scenes they did put in didn't have any room to breathe because the pacing was too fast. The movie level animation was great but honestly I would give that up for a more thorough adaptation.
I kind of accepted this when it was first announced but now I'm fully aware that there's no way bokuto's match is gonna get adapted.
My theory at first was that they'd show Kamomedai as flashbacks with Hitoka narrating, then cutting to Brazil. And having Kageyama and Hinata meeting at the world championships be a post credit scene. But I was definitely disappointed at how short movie 1 was
I think what they did was great. The movie was beautiful, and personally I was really disappointed with season 4 of haikyuu because of the animation quality and pacing. I've read the manga, and I think Haikyuu is one of those series that can have a faster pace considering the nature of the sport of volleyball itself. I think anyone who thinks that season 5 would've been a great idea really just don't know what they want, finishing through the manga and everything I think Haikyuu's nationals saga deserves better budget than what the anime had and making it into a movie was probably the way they could make it happen.
Sticking a spoiler warning on the top for anyone who's yet to see the film, as i realised my feelings give a lot away:
I'm going to check out before the spoilers (I know the general gist of the future chapters but want to wait). But I personally feel like the movie worked because it went too quickly. This is the game things have built towards for four seasons, and it finished before any climatic spike; it's true to life where you want a match to keep going, to have fun even if exhausted, but the end result is often decided partway through.
However, that style only works for a team like Nekoma which we've gotten to know. We barely know the other team, amd Haikyu's strength is making you like the opponents through reflections on character development rather than on pitch powerups. The film still did some but jot as much because we've seen so much of Nekoma, and i worry that isn't going to be possible with future matches.
Oikawa definitely wins at the Olympics
It's been more or less confirmed in the bonus content that was released after the manga ended.
He was winning till the ninja showed up
I have watched the movie a few days and I love it. I also have the same worries too. I think they will mention a little bit only about the Kamomedai vs Karasuno match and Brazil arc in the final movie, focusing on the match between MSBY Black Jackals and Schweiden Adlers and some post credits for the Olympic.
saw the movie yesterday, love it but it felt kinda short and there's no way in hell one other movie can take all the remaining manga material, anyways i love Haikyuu
I dont understand how the studios dont understand if the movies would do well? Like isnt this the most popular sports anime? If not top two or three? Im so confused because this anime has done insanely well throughout its lifespan and even throughout times between seasons where the took years to make, it was still insanely popular. Very strange that they think it might not do well.
Same
Honestly I saw the movie yesterday and the pacing was really not great, the match was over so fast and it felt so weird. I am really not that happy with how it turned out, despite the animation and sfx being stellar, the pacing was just really jarring, especially compared to the previous seasons. It just felt so rushed and ended so suddenly, it really caught me off guard.
I am really hoping movie 2 will tease a season 5 becasue there is no way we get everything in the movie, it just isn't going to happen.
I dont think theyll make Brazil and Jackals into a movie. I think at most itll be a mini series
Sadly the next movie will probably just be the Kamomedai match with a 2-5 minutes scene at the end with the credit for the Brazil-V1-Olympic as a clip compilation. It sucks big time, let's hope that it doesn't end like this.
I swear if they cut or don’t animate and just so manga panels of the Brazil arc I am going to Japan to take care of them 3:00
so what you’re saying is we’re COOKEDDDDDDD cooked fried sautéed and filleted
Probably 😭
It should be a two part movie for the final film. One kamomedai match and the Brazil and pro league match. Just like AOT
The Jackals match can be condensed. With entire points taking at least a chapter. This could get really boring in an animated format and could easily be condensed to show everyone watching the match together and to get the good points still in. I know people won't like that, but its probably whats going to happen. 35-45 minutes for Kamomedai match, 15 minutes Brazil, 10-15 minutes Jackals & Olympic scene. Does it feel short? Yes, and I'd love a S5. At this point we're not getting that though.
Never been to theater in 5+ years came back because of Haikyuu, every milliseconds is worth it
I was annoyed. I thought i was watching it in japanese with sub title but its fine. It could have been longer and not feel rushed. If it was longer it would have been better. It doesn't have the same vibe or feel like when you watch the series
Honestly? I think Brazil will be shortened, based on the way the recap movies are cut - I think Pedro, Heitor, etc wouldn't be there, I think they'll do a montage, MAYBE a beach volleyball round then Black Jackals and then Kagehina fist bumping in the Olympics
I agree that they will cut off 95% of the Fukurodani match, showing at least a couple of rallies but I also think they'll release an OVA with the match at some point.
That leaves us with roughly ~30 mins of each arc, Kamomedai, Brazil, and Jackals match. Which is quite good if you ask me, prolly Jackals match won't be as long as it's more of a celebratory match and wrapping up of the series. Also, the Kamomedai match doesn't have quite the moments to make it as long as other matches. Gao's rivalry with Hoshiumi can be left mostly undeveloped, and Hirugami's journey probably as well (though I'd really like if they didn't).
I have high hopes for this, the movie has been a revival for the series and it's doing reaaaaally good, so they might steer towards a more lenghty movie, or even another movie. Really hope they can deliver the great end this series deserves.
95% is definitely way too high
Besides the dumpster battle, they would have to make 2 movies to complete everything in a good way, and it still won't be as good as seasons. The first movie will have to contain Fukurodani vs Mujinazaka and Karasuno vs Kamomedai. Starting the 3rd and final movie with Hinata in Brazil would also make the movie a really good sequel to the first 2, since its a beginning of an entire new arc and a new movie. Hopefully this happens. I wish they would just stick to making episodes instead, it's disappointing
Can you please tell me who win ? Is it Nekoma Or Karasuno?
@@tungtungtung69 Karasuno will win and play the next match, Karasuno vs Kamomedai
@@Sadf430 Tysm! ❤
they have all the voice lines done for the second movie I can confirm
Where'd you see that?
A single game of real life volleyball is longer than that movie... The anime spent so much time building up the inevitable dumpster battle and then it’s forced into a 90 minute package
My prediction: Brazil is getting 15 mins. A draw out training montage with overlapping scenes, Oikawa will be talking over dinner while they show Hinata training on the beach. It'll be an intermission.
Just saw the movie. It was fantastic! Had to hold back tears at the end. People complaining that they cut out a lot of the manga need to realize that movies tend to do this and that isn’t bad. The animation and music were amazing!
If I were them I do it like this:
Movie: karasuno vs kammodai
OVA: fukoridnoai game
Movie: Hinata in Brazil
Movie: hinata vs kageyama Pro game.
I can only hope
Honestly I’m just hoping there fucking with us and gauging the success of the two movies too see if they can make a third movie about the last two arcs they can even add filler fuck it
If not at least give us a 7 eps ova
I just hope that they atleast make two movies instead of only one
Prob not a good idea but make the 2nd movie's ending a cliffhanger for hinata's debut with the jackals (maybe up to his homecoming spike) and keep the rest of the match/olympics into a third movie/OVA..my hope is that it'll build up hype for the whole jackals match in the next installment
Haikyuu's last few arcs are the deepest in terms of character development and overall message (ex. "This is still volleyball") that I'd really rather not cut anything just for it to be compressed into a 90 min movie.
As a fan, there's so much to the final arcs like hinata/kageyama/asahi/oikawa character arcs coming full circle and the various post-timeskip endings (what they ended up doing after HS) that it feels a disservice to Furudate's storytelling to cut any of them from the movie adaptation.
I really hope we get a satisfactory anime adaptation to the remainder of the story..Haikyuu deserves it the most
I know only one more movie is supposed to be released but I think they will just adapt to the end of highschool for it and then adapt everyone's adult lives in a set of OVAs or something small.
So they are gonna squeeze the kamomedae match and the final arc together!? Omg it’s GOT season 8 all over again
Haven’t read the manga, but this movie had my inner child screaming as I waited YEARS for this. However, It hurts to say I was disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, Kenma’s development and story was beautiful, but the movie still lacked. It didn’t feel like a movie. It heavily focused on the game itself, and I KNOW that’s what this anime is about, but what if we got more outside clips? more backstories? In terms of becoming a season, I probably would have loved watching the episodes, but I don’t think this is worth becoming a movie. In a movie, I’d probably expect more rollercoasters and character growth scenes, which Is why I feel quite bummed. Other than that, I’d say the movie was beautiful, but quite lacking.
The first movie was focused on wrapping up Hinata vs Kenma, I would wager that the second will focus on Kageyama vs Hinata (Jackels) and use the Kamomedai and Brazil arcs as flashbacks to Hinata's failures and growth, ending with Olympics and Prix.
as a haikyuu fan since 2013 seeing the series end in just 2 movies is disappointing, i just watched the movie yesterday, i love it but thats because i love the story and the characters but another season 5 would be the best scenario, its dissapointing that the main reason we are having just 2 movies is because they are tired of animating haikyuu and i get its difficult to animate and they want to get the most profit. i hope we can get a short season for time skip or at least some ovas but i hope qe can see haikyuu animated fully
bro in the matter of like 2 mins during the middle of it, a new set started right, then like 1min later the score was 18-16 not even 2 minutes after the set started 😭
We still have left the mujinazaka vs Fukurōdani match
What I don't understand is why the movie couldn't of been 2 hours? What were they in a time crunch for?
Money probably. Studios are only afforded so much money to make a final product. They probably thought it would be better to put all their money and effort into a shorter film to maintain quality throughout. Otherwise they would possibly have to stretch out a budget only capable of producing a 1.25 hour film into a 2 hour film. While I’d prefer a 2 hour movie, I can see why it likely ended up the length it was
As someone who only read the manga after the ending of the nekoma game (like only those remaining chapters and nothing else), can anyone give me a brief rundown of stuff that was cut? Just curious
I liked the kenma pov direction they took, but it is stil a bit saddening that they didnt include the panel where both the teams are shown in a panned out wide shot, with the flashback comparison to their training match.
It, personally, made it feel anticlimactic; considering how short the movie was.
From someone who hasn’t read the manga and just enjoyed the anime, I really loved the movie. Maybe ignorance is bliss not knowing what was cut.
I’m hoping that it’s longer. My delulu is hoping for a 3 hour long anime movie so that they have decent time for both games and the Brazil arc but idk if that’s even possible for anime movies. The fast pace is honestly pretty cool because it gives to the true speed of volleyball as a sport. It feels like a genuine game w/ the least amount of filler that shounen adds (which is almost always good in this case) and it makes it super epic. But if the Nekoma game was like 40 minutes instead of the actual ~70 minutes it was in the movie, I’d actually cry. I do not want that for the next games
If I'm not mistaken, there has never been an anime movie with 3 hours runtime.
As much as I hoped that the next movie will be long, it's most likely not gonna happen. They have shown that they are willing to cut majority of the Nekoma matches into a 80 minutes movie. I wouldn't be surprised if the next movie is around 100-120 minutes.
3hrs would give us a similar pace to the recent movie, I doubt it'll happen but that'd be okay if it did
They have earned a lot of money with this movie, now it's time to invest in an actually legendary S5, they can release its movie after the season and we will definitely watch it so they can make the profit for 6th season and then make it a movie after that as well, everyone will be happy happy happy 🙌
We can only hope
I still think they are going to make a season 5.. they just want to get as money as possible woth the movies, like it was done with demon slayer and the movie about the train
The long anime form has more warmth in heart than movie, which is suitable to adapt from manga. The companies took opportunity making tanjiro movie which earns a lot, they try to replicate this success into haikyuu movie, it’s just not suitable.
i hoping they will make 1 season like shiratorizawa match just only for nekoma match & Kamomedai.
I love bokutos match as well and it so sad anime onlys won't get to see it
A season 5 and jackals vs Alders movie is the dream
I don't need a movie for kamomedai put everything else in a season 5 bokuto's match included and release 2 more movies for jackals vs alders and olympics
I was already upset with the pacing of the movie honestly.. Why cutting important moments ?? It's not as if the movie was already too long, a lot of important scenes were cropped or not animated at all, and the final result looks more like a Hinata vs Kenma than a Karasuno vs Nekoma. But as the second movie isn't in preparation and hasn't even been announced yet, a reviewer said in a video that they were "putting ou a few feelers" with this movie, and that if it did well at box office (which he did), they would maybe consider one more movie, or at least 1 two parts movie, each part being 1h30 long.
So what you are saying is (I only watched till the sexond spoiler warning), that I'll get the choice ebtween reading the manga - which sin't gonna happen, volleyball just doesn't work as a manga for me (likely cause I have no...feeling for it, since I'm more thna fine with blue lock but I also PLAYED soccer for over a decade ad never truly stopped so far) - or watch a movie that's gonna be super rushed in terms of pacing, likely cutting tons of stuff to even remotely fit it, which tends to end in them cutting stuff that'd actually be important as that always somehow seems to happen...in other words, Haikyuu basically is done, or to be considered to be done for me? :(
Praying for the dream scenario 🙏
i think people are hallucinating on copium if they think we are getting anything past high school, i really like the brazil arc and adults games but there's no chance we get to that animated, only the most supper fans would be interested in that and it wouldn't fit a movie setting
I WANT THE BRAZIL ARC SO BAD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 😭😭😭
Same
