By the way, this is a really dumb side note, but I accidentally watched the last episode first because it was late. And when I had finished it and realized it was the last episode I had watched first I felt really betrayed by myself. Then when I watched the episodes in order I had forgotten that I had already watched the last episode so while I finished the series I had this weird sense of deja vu. Heh I'm so amused yet so disappointed in myself.
{Not Spoiler Free}
I gotta say that all these characters are my babies. They're all so precious and each overcome their own struggles in order to improve themselves. This alone is such a great message. Honestly these characters are so just down to earth and wholesome that you just can't help but love them. Props the creator because the characters are bomb.
Another important message was that even out of the most unexpected places, the strong can rise and beat all odds. I don't know. Maybe I'm just a sucker for underdog stories, but this was one of the best. It made me feel all the feels. I'm not even remotely interested in sports, but for some reason this really hooked me. Heh it was probably because that plot twist of an ending for the first season when Karasuno actually lost. I may or may not have almost dropped my phone in shock when I watched that part. But jeez that sweet sweet sensation when Karasuno rematched Aoba Josei and won!!!!! I was so hyped. I felt like my children had worked so hard and I couldn't have been more proud. It was a great moment for me.
Also can we just talk about Yachi?! She's the best Townsperson B ever. She's so humble and I love her. But I love basically all the characters so...
Something else that I really liked about this sports anime is how real it was. Okay I can't really speak from personal experience about the sports team thing, but the whole development of their skills seemed really believable. Each of the characters was so human. They all made mistakes with bad serves or horrible control, but they were able to work on it with an amazing amount of practice and dedication. None of the guys were godly, unlike other sports anime like Kuroko no Basket. I really liked the fact that like half the season was focused on each of them training to become better. The whole journey to improvement was super motivating as a viewer. It made me root for each of them even more. Honestly I was even excited for Oikawa when it was made more apparent that he wasn't naturally talented and had to work hard like everyone else. Not the same could be said for #1 jerkface Ushijima. Ugh that guy.
All of the conflicts in the season felt so real. All of their personal internal conflicts as well as their outer team vs team conflicts. In every single match as certain points I would hold my breath in anticipation because after how the first season ended I couldn't have any expectations or else I'd feel so betrayed.
Anyways, this anime is so worth the hype. Actually I was scarred by Free! into thinking that when I finished the series I would cry a river because of the nostalgia, but it ended at a really good, inspirational point that keeps me looking forward to season 3!!! Also I started this season in June but only finished it now because I kept pushing off finishing it in case that was it and I wouldn't get any more which would make me really sad.
I can't. They're too cute. So pure.
The most beautiful partnership
I'd sign a petition to see more Kenma tbh
YESSSSSSSS
Aren't they just too precious?
