Haikyuu movie: Great or Fail?

Haikyuu, the beloved volleyball manga and anime series, has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. The recent Haikyuu movie adaptation, sparked both excitement and controversy among its dedicated fanbase. The announcement of condensing numerous manga chapters into two Haikyuu movie parts initially caused concern among fans. Despite these reservations, few fans found the first movie to be visually stunning and emotionally impactful. The unique animation style and intense volleyball rallies impressed viewers, successfully conveying the game’s excitement.

Verdict on the Movie

However, upon reflection, few fans expressed growing frustration with the adaptation. The main issue with this Haikyuu movie was its short runtime of just 1 hour and 20 minutes. This brevity resulted in the omission of numerous beloved scenes and details from the manga, potentially compromising the story’s pacing and depth.

The reason for shortened runtime might be due to budget constraints, prioritizing cost-saving over delivering a more comprehensive adaptation. They argue that even a modest increase in this Haikyuu movie could have significantly improved the film’s pacing and content, better reflecting the source material’s richness.

Fans understand that adaptations don’t need to be 100% faithful to their source, but with Haikyuu it feels different. The rushed pacing particularly affects the portrayal of Nekoma, a team known for their tenacious defense and ability to draw out matches.
