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 Ive seen thus far in the series. Really dislikes all of the underhanded 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. 480https://66.media.tumblr.com/113c22f283fb183c2798c367f7f5b71a/b66ef69de7f9afb29b/s500x750/32e0f88033d2477193b33adfb83f850f43d744b9.gifv 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 hes 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 nexttonone content. 420https://66.media.tumblr.com/1c17679e55f7a0c732721b31915e97a3/027938137a704593c9/s500x750/e6f1c305e26fe4269acb2259940f0ef33133b1d2.gifv 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. 420https://66.media.tumblr.com/34bfd61a75449d7e7e1e2485075e2a23/c26743edfd54f0b3ea/s500x750/8cef475dd7df3d94c2e894e8477a3a0f1e2b25cb.gifv MUSIC: There is no OP or anythin so there is nothing to write here sadly. The OST was Haikyuu level...I suppose. 420https://data.whicdn.com/images/339286967/original.gif OVERALL OPINION: This OVA is not that great. It is not bad not bad at all dont get me wrong. But I like Haikyuu too much to let a drop in quality this bad to pass. I dont 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.
