Haikyuu!! Movie 3: Sainou to Sense

Following the events of the Inter-High, the Karasuno High School volleyball team decides to regroup by attending an intensive boot camp organized by Nekoma High School in Tokyo. At the camp, the team continues to suffer loss upon loss to the other schools in attendance. Reaching an impasse, the players each struggle to break out of their routine to hone their skills.

For the team's setter-and-ace duo Shouyou Hinata and Tobio Kageyama, the frustrations cause them to falter more than anyone else. While Hinata develops his own playstyle, his recklessness leads him to fall out of sync with Kageyama's sets and earns his partner's ire instead. As they search for an answer to their woes, the two find what they are lacking from two unlikely people. Will it be enough for the team to overcome their rut?

(Quick Review)

The third recap movie for the Haikyuu series for the 2nd season. The recap shows us when Karasuno shows us the training camp they go where they practice getting better and stronger with the other teams. Then after that, we see the fight against Hinata and Kageyama on how they blame themselves for not working hard enough then we see how each Karasuno is continuing their training and how we are introduced to new moves/techniques like the tempo's that Hinata and Kageyama learn then we see we the match against Karasuno vs Aobajousai and how Karasuno won but we see some extra scenes, not ... from anime which shows some of the Aobajousai team after their match and how they felt on losing the match and knowing some they will be leaving the team after high school.

So this recap wasn't bad, showed the major points in the second season and yes it took some parts away from the anime like when Daichi gets hit in the cheek or the other matches before the main match against Karasuno vs Aobajousai but in replace of some of those parts was those extra scenes which weren't bad as it showed the side of Aobajousai and how they will continue playing volleyball even after that loss. This recap was good, I liked it

This essentially recaps the Second Season of Haikyuu!!. Well, they miss all of the other matches and just show clips of previous scenes, getting into the Auba Josai match. It is all the sane except that towards the end, just before the credits, you see just how close Oikawa and Iwaizumi really are and get a glimpse of their friendship and their true bond.

The art style is only slightly less detailed in this recap and reuses some scenes, so at times it felt a little lazy.


This movie, as you would expect, uses the same sound effects and music as the series.


Shouyou Hinata (Simpleton Idiot, Chibi-chan, ... Dumbass)

Tobio Kageyama (King of the Court, Bakageyama, Bateyama-kun, Kalm-geyama, Yamayama-kun, Wearyama-kun, Simpleton Idiot)

Hajime Iwaizumi (Iwa-chan, Iwa)

Reason for watching: The extra scenes not included in the main anime series.

TL;DR: Watch for the additional scenes on Seijoh at the end of the movie if you want to know more about them after their match.

I absolutely love Haikyuu!, and I have no qualms re-watching every episode of the anime series to recap the story. I have always avoid recap movies as I get more kicks out of watching every small detail rather than just watching all the major developments.

That said, I adore Seijoh as much as Karasuno, and the end of season 2 have always leave a bittersweet taste in my mouth ... as I felt that there was no proper closure for Seijoh's match from their POV. The movie have additional scenes on what happens in Seijoh after the match. The fact that they are not just another "side character" team, but a proper rival team that deserves a bit of insight on how their emotional and psychological state outside of the game is like really showcases the beauty of this anime.

I am not a manga person, so the additional animated scenes to tell us a bit more of the rival characters that I have grown so attached to really brings me so much comfort. hahahaha.
