66/100An ok OVA for a great seriesContinue on AniList[
This review will contain Spoilers for the show! ]()
Haikyuu is a great series, I like it. Honestly. But this OVA feels really rushed compared to the quality of the main show.[(SPOILER AHEAD) STORY:]()
This little pits Nekoma High School vs Fukurodani Academy and also Nohebi Academy.Nekoma lost against Fukorodani and then had to go against Nohebi, which is by far the worst team I've seen thus far in the series. Really dislikes all of the under-handed moves they pulled off just cause they wanted to win, like dude pleas win fair and square you big dummy dum dum.
Anyway...
The matches were really fast. Like lightspeed fast, I blinked and Nekoma was already defeated. I was honestly quite dissapointed by this fact, I wanted to watch the characters grow but when the match was that quick it was hard to actually put in some character development plotlines.
[CHARACTERS:]()
So normally I would just go over the new additions since "I already reviewed them in previous submissions" but I have yet to review Haikyuu so yeah, thats cool, or something.Anyway.
Kenma - He is cold and tactical, he does his moves without hesitations because he already calculated them like 10 000 times already.
Testurou - He is quite comedic but he gets the job done, he is a great leader who alwasy tries his best to pull the team together. Great characters, especially when we get a match and we need a comedic relief.
Lev - He is new, he is still learning the ins and outs of Volleyball. He is very tall, he only this OVA realises that the team works together to win. Damn Levochki. You go my dude!
Bokuto - He is the wackiest characters out of all of them. He is not the brightest star in the universe to be honest, but when he gets in to groove he is unstoppable.
Akaashi - Same team as Bokuto but he's more calm, just like Kenma. He is tactical, especially when Bokuto is not in the right mindset
Alisa Haiba - The MVP of the OVA, every time she appears my mind relaxes. Such a pure existence.
There were a few cool character building moments but in total nothing that much to write home about. Yeah I get that this is an OVA but my dude, come on. This is marked as a "sequel" thus I want something to digest and not just watch meh animated scenes and next-to-none content.
[ART/ANIMATION:]()
This, and the fast matches, was the main reason for the low score. The animation feels meh.
There is much more CGI and all of the spikes felt much more weak then the previous seasons of spikes.
The reason I watch this show is to see all of the cool and very impactfull spikes and other such volleyball stuff and now that all of that is gone there is not much, not even any cool character development. Yeah there is the fact that Lev now knows how to work as a team and all but my dude, gimme more.[MUSIC:]()
There is no OP or anythin' so there is nothing to write here, sadly.
The OST was, Haikyuu level...I suppose.[OVERALL OPINION:]()
This OVA is not that great. It is not bad, not bad at all don't get me wrong. But I like Haikyuu too much to let a drop in quality this bad to pass. I don't want the series to drop, thus far "TO THE TOP" is great but I swear to god if the series drops its quality to this I will riot.
