Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle Mini-Vlog & Post-Movie Thoughts

[@lillithvale7528]

The Grandpa Ukai handshake made me cry.

[@DanielCollins419]

Me too , that rivalry was everything beautiful about sports 😭

[@clarakuo1812]

Me too😢

[@cappucappu9441]

I watched the movie like 15 times and I cry at the handshake every time T-T

[@purkeyonehundred7154]

Everyone at my theater broke down in that scene

[@lilliannaasuncion4576]

My friend and I were the only ones in the theater since it was after 10pm and while I was having the feels, my friend (who admittedly was not caught up with haikyuu) said something and we laughed for at least 5 minutes😂

[@Nekomosh004]

"I want it longer" Same thoughts 😭 It should've been a season!!! 😭🧡

[@akushon_kamen]

dude no... just movie, but longer duration.

[@earlyoyster2793]

The best parts for me: 1. Hinata screaming after seeing Kenma enjoying himself 2. Kenma thanking Kuroo 3. Nekomata-sensei inspiring small Kuroo to ‘lower the net’ so everyone can enjoy the sport! Agh! 4. The handshake 😭😭😭 i cried in the manga, I also cried in the cinema, i will also cry when they release it in netflix or crunchyroll 😅

[@Nekomosh004]

🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@melantus]

Yeah, I ugly cried in the theater when grandpa Ukai reached out for the handshake. The history between those two teams felt so genuine. Also, the movie made it feel like you were on the court with them and i loved that!

[@Graffiti-Tse]

me too，but l have already started to cry when the title of the movie came out 😢

[@tadanobukatsu99]

I cried so hard when Kageyama said "open!" and Hinata's eyes shine✨🥲

[@lifeahahafk]

Y'all remember when Sarah was like "oh I'm a big fan but idk if I'm part of the ~community~" LIKE BRO (respectfully). YOU GET IT. YOU ARE AN ANIME NERD LIKE THE REST OF US!

[@lifeahahafk]

But genuinely, I have watched and loved all of your reactions and am so grateful for your unique and insightful perspectives!!! In a fandom as big as this, I'm very grateful to have found a reactor that honestly feels and is as excited about the way it's portrayed as every other fan!!! Genuinely, tysm Sarah. ❤

[@mauer1]

tbf if its just haikyuu you cant say anime nerd. but its totally fine of course.

[@kujiisz]

that kuro and tsuki interaction made me cry too. I love how both team want the other guy to admit volleyball is fun

[@varunrajput8083]

If you liked that interaction, you'll love this manga fan animation :) For me this animation really captured what the movie couldn't due to time constraints.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ-rhaCwa7Jknbs

[@コナエ]

私も日本で10回以上、映画館へ行きました。何度観ても泣いてしまう。サラさんの感想を聞いて、また泣きました。配信の際は是非リアクションお願いします。英語が得意ではないので日本語で失礼しました。

[@Psyanic_]

Gonna try and translate this without Google/DeepL: I also went to the cinema over 10 times in Japan. I cried no matter how many times I watched. I heard Sarah’s thoughts and cried again. (The start of this next sentence I’m not sure on) When you rewatch please do a reaction to it. I’m not very good at English so please excuse me using Japanese.

[@Psyanic_]

Ok I’ve looked up 配信, that sentence actually says “When it comes out on streaming please do a reaction”

[@コナエ]

Thank you for translation.

[@HairlessItalian]

Sarah, you are one of the easiest people to support. You are such a kind, warm, intelligent, and charismatic human. You also have great reactions!! Thank you for being who you are and sharing that with us.

[@Victormarcondes]

The handshake made me cry twice on my reading of the manga and with the movie, so I've cried 3 times with this scene.

[@kizukimitana]

I just came back from watching the movie and moments that got me were: 1. Hinata not being able to spike and getting frustrated but then Kageyama gives him the high set and his eyes clear up and by then I was crying 2. Tsukki saying Kuroo is too strong for him and he never thought he'd win by himself as Yamaguchi comes in to serve??? Followed by the flashbacks of Tsukiyama?😭 Got me😭 3. Kenma saying he's happy and Hinata shouting while Kuro starts laughing PLEASE 4. Kenma thanking Kuroo and Kuroo cries (I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE😭) 5. Last rally through Kenma' pov was so good I wish I could physically inject it in my veins fr😭😭 6. Any scene with Yaku Morisuke in it because that man is way too underrated for his own good 7. The whole movie tbh was beautiful. I wish it was longer😭

[@twig7591]

"I Am Unwell" that's how i've been feeling this ENTIRE week 😂 nothing but haikyuu on the brain because of this movie

[@adancingpencil]

Made me cry moments: 1) Kenma is dying but admitting that volleyball is fun, Hinata screaming 2) Kenma's POV of that last rally until the sweaty ball slipped; Hinata saying "Tanaka, nice serve", not realizing that the game was over 3) Kenma is dying but thanking Kuroo for teaching him volleyball 4) the Karasuno-Nekoma handshake and hugging moments, Kuroo and Tsukki in that scene!!!

[@陳亭伃-n7g]

I cried really hard when Kageyama set that high toss to Hinata. It was such a meaningful moment😭

[@Baens293]

for me, my favorite part is when kenma talks about video game in the flashback, that sentense of "finishing a game is sadder than game over" hit me so hard like i only played volleyball till highschool and that was really one of the best time in my life, just being with friends and play sport tgt. Haikyu is soo beautiful, can't wait to watch it again on the streaming platform.

[@gabypedroza9477]

Just watched it yesterday and the part I keep remembering is when Hinata broke free from the cage and said "there is no shortcut". The imagery of the caged bird flying free and going back to its domain hit really hard and I straight up teared up. Its probably the part I remember most, heck that whole Hinata panic before he broke free just felt so relatable. A great movie overall, but definitely wish it was a season

[@SonicBoom0561]

Kenmas POV was absolutely insane! Gave me so much anxiety and excitement at the same time it was *chefs kiss*

[@pollys6192]

I cried all those times too, even with grandpa Ukai because... the feelings. But I also cried when Kageyama trusted Hinata even though he was "caged"... their friendship is sealed, it's official now, they're best friends forever Sarah, they were both alone in their middle schools but not anymore, they have each other... for life. Did you realize that?

[@hachi1404]

😭They can never call themselves "best friend" each other, they can only admit it "lifetime rival", but yes, you are right. They are literally best friends!

[@pollys6192]

@@hachi1404 of course they will never call themselves best friends. Their pride is in the way, especially Kageyama's... but lifetime rival is code for best friend in their case. These weirdos XD I love them

[@DanielCollins419]

The yamaguchi and Tsuki spear and shield combination and the following flashback/high five got me 😭

[@JackHarlowComboMeal]

The real villain is Toronto traffic. It ALWAYS is 😭 And boy, it's a crazy feeling to see yourself in a KZbin video! It's great to hear you loved the movie, and it's nice to hear you got emotional at about all the same points I did. Your #2 moment got to me the most 😭♥️ Again, it was fantastic meeting you and Adam, along with all the cool Haikyuu homies that showed up! I'd love to do it again for the second movie 😊

[@オルティース翔馬]

I'm glad that you chose to watch this movie in a theater, not at home. I hope people who watched it at home will rewatch it in a theater.

[@vikkkkyy]

i sadly couldn't watch when it was on theathers in my country :( so i had to watch it in my home i wish i could have seen it in the big screen aaa 😢

[@detonationlurks]

The slow 360 degree pan from Kenma’s perspective also did me in

[@Aru-n6k]

CRIED THE WHOLE MOVIE IT WAS AMAZING. Peak cinematic moment was when we were watching the end rally in kenma's pov. Also this movie is an indepth dive into Kenma and Kuro friendship. I think after watching the movie, I have a new appreciation for Kuroo. He is amazing, I’m totally becoming a Kuroo simp.

[@SappyNoypi]

When Takeda approached Nekomata to thank him that's when I broke down. He know they wouldn't have gone that far without his help. My partner who hasn't caught up in the anime loved the movie as well. It is for everyone

[@ms-tn2zn]

I went to see the movie for 10 times, but without a joke, it made me cry everytime!!!! (it still makes me cry just remembering the scene😢) Kuro & Tsukishima interaction made me cry soooooo hard!!! Kuro & Daichi little grin when getting into court, baby Kenma & Kuro, Kenma saying "it's so fun" and thanking Kuro omg, really killed me😢 not to mention grampa Ukai's handshake!!! i'm happy that you enjoyed the movie😊

[@remnatsuki8792]

The grandpa Ukai handshake made me tear up and sent chills all over my body! I just got chills just now by just typing this and remembering that scene lol

[@__Liasun__]

I strated full on balling when kenma thanked kuroo for introducing him to volleyball. Fron then on the tears never stopped🥹

[@TheOctaviusLee]

The idea of what the next movie is about is giving me full body chills right now, as someone who has read ahead in the manga, YOU ARE NOT PREPARED. Wish I could have been at the meetup that looked so fun!

[@mekyubeans]

Hi Sarah! I was the one who gave the amigurumi kuroo-cat! (And talked about Ubugawa-guy's unanticipated appearance haha). Glad to have met a fellow crocheter! Thank you for organizing this meetup, I was happy to watch this movie with you and other Haikyuu fans! Initially I was very nervous because I didn't have anybody to go with me, but I was so glad to have met and talked with other people in this community, as well as meeting you and Adam in person. The Ukai handshake definitely got my eyes teary as well. My favourite scene was the "pov" at the end!! (The camera work carries!!) Fingers crossed we won't have to wait long for the next movie. Also, wondering if you have any interest watching the haikyuu stage play?

[@antonytat3315]

one of the moment that made me kinda emotional was when the competition game turn flashback to the practice matches

[@luzcilleabellon865]

I also cried during the scenes that you mentioned. I even cried when the announcer was introducing everyone, because I just missed them all so bad. You have no idea how much I cried during Kenma's "This is fun.", like I was breaking down on my seat while Hinata was screaming and Kuroo was laughing. So ironic. 😭

[@marcyplace5478]

This was so sweet, Sarah! I also can’t wait for Adam to catch up

[@seekittycat]

When Hinata slipped on sweat and is freaking out on how bored Kenma looks across the net I'm like 😢😢. My fav part is "Shoyo, stay interesting"

[@asami2810]

Literally all the moments that made Sarah cry in the movie were also the moments I cried😭 I wanna watch it again!!!😭😭😭💓

[@lostinveda]

You go get Adam to do triple episodes with you! One episode a week is killing me and i am rewatching haikyuu with you guys for the n th time!

[@musix3197]

Bro she's still a professional volleyball player and Adam is still a coach lmao.

[@JackLuk]

I can't wait for Adam's Post-Movie Thoughts!! And everytime i re-watch this movie, I cry more for different scenes! And the most beautiful part to me is that both teams handshake after the match and you can see they are really best friends/teacher-and-students out of the court and best rivals on the court!

[@remnatsuki8792]

Karasuno vs Nekoma had me out of breath just looking at Kenma trying to keep up and keep the ball in the air. The back and forth rally towards the end of the game looked brutal but it was exhilarating to watch!! I really felt like rooting for Nekoma, especially Kenma cause the cinematography during the first person pov was intense 🔥🥵

[@Sayhitomimi]

4:03 Just thinking about it made me cry already 🥲🥲🥲🥲 glad you could watch it realtime in the theater Sarah!!! 😭

[@kotetsu693]

私も鵜飼監督の握手は何度見ても泣いてしまいました いつか日本にも来てほしいな☺️

[@danah-hx6mk]

Definitely cried/was teary eyed nearly the entire movie 😭 adding to your list: - Tsukki acknowledging Yamaguchi as someone "who is always a step ahead [of him]", them getting a serve and kill block together, and how the movie showed all their little moments in their friendship and leading into their high five... tears - Kuroo and Kenma's entire childhood backstory LOL, but Nekomata's "then let's lower the net" moment in particular and Kenma narrating how he could see just how much that moment/day meant to Kuroo made me WEEP; their friendship is just so precious And while we're talking about action scenes... can we please talk about that final rally from Kenma's POV??? I think I held my breath the entire sequence it was SO well done, and I am still thinking about it constantly!

[@danah-hx6mk]

Adam's gotta speedrun the next two seasons STATTTT I can imagine how difficult it is to hold all your thoughts and excitement about this movie in until he catches up! hahaha

[@goawayinternet]

So glad everyone was able to meet up and have such a nice time!! Just remember haikyuu fans around the world were gathering to watch this movie! what a triumph!

[@thatzzz]

so glad you could meet ppl this time around. Me from Nepal so not likely to meet you all but I will support behind the screens.

[@tamarlevy5949]

i feel you on this Sarah!! i remember the first time i watched the hq movie and got out of the theater shaking and overwhelmed lol. cried the entire movie as well, and i read the manga more times than i can count, so it's not the element of surprise that made me so teary. hq is just special. i'm so happy this meet up happened, everyone seems so happy. hq bringing people together 🧡

[@apolloistaphquibs5075]

The timeskip will even make you cry Sarah. Wont spoil it for you. But for a tidbit. Since you'll relate to it more since it also shows Beach Volleyball. You'll definitely be up for a ride.

[@wuxie42delacruz54]

I watched it with my siblings and it was surreal 😂 We were crying and pumped up and and then post movie , it's all we can talk about

[@augustjasmine]

Oh my gosh exactly how I felt when I watched the movie in April. I also cried a lot and loved the action scene, it is so so so well done. Can't wait to watch it again.

[@cartmantke]

The change to where it was like the endless practice matches during the summer, that made me break XO bad in both my reading of the manga and in the movie. Oof that just killed me, the pure joy of it.

[@sakura7sama]

Oh dios mio I think I teared up on several scenes! But the Kenma pov took my breath away!! 😢 The thank you Kuroo part…. Awesome movie!!

[@earlyoyster2793]

I love you Sarah! And I love that you love Haikyuu as much as we all doo! Also waaah! To meet all those fellow Haikyuu fans! So wholesome!! ❤❤❤

[@tachivrsion]

This is so sweet 😭😭 Can't wait for the Adam/Sarahs reaction to the movie❤

[@White_CamelliaFlower]

I let the video play without sound because I haven't seen the movie yet but I can tell just by looking at your face that you cried the all happy tears. Hope you had a great time and can't wait to return later and hear what you said.

[@chrisjoseph2048]

Most underrated scene was coach of nekoma inspired a young Kuro and lowered the net so he can spike the ball was such an awesome scene and really shows why they went to nekoma. Awesome to see a great group turnout. Can’t wait to see the more reactions videos!!!

[@shinineagle23]

Best part was the Kenma POV. Felt like you were actually part of the game

[@ClaudLufin]

Now I feel so grateful because de cinema is very close to my home haha. I watched it the last week and loved see the court and the players from Kenma's vision in the end, that was new and amazing. I really glad we can see Haikyuu on cinema. Greetigs from Chile.

[@chALLENger0167]

yeah, watching these last episodes and movies really gives you like the feeling of a fever.

[@maepledonuts6777]

I’m glad you got to meet so many people! Thank YOU for everything you do! I’m happy you got to watch the movie and share your immediate thoughts! I’m also glad you are slowly reading the manga! Can’t wait for more Haikyuu 💖

[@whycchi5204]

I'm really glad you are able to watch the Haikyuu movie, I knew you'd totally love the match scenes!!! 😭 It really is well done, really happy that you enjoyed it as much as I did!!!

[@i-kahn]

Sarah's love for Haikyuu is going to explode even further with Hinata's arc ahead 🥹 just you wait

[@catherinealvarado8981]

I yelled the entire movie from backstories to action scenes without caring of others in the theater …. I couldn’t believe that finally my favorite sport anime was in the big screen I was crying all the time. Thank you for expressing your love for Haikyu and we your community ❤❤❤

[@jujuchonk]

I'm glad everyone got to meet up and watch it together! Sending love from New England! 🥰 Now that you watched the movie with the 2nd movie on the way - now you have to get on the manga! The movie left out soooooooo much!

[@SamuriX2010]

So so glad you enjoyed it, as someone who has been up to date on the manga since you started watching, you have reinvigorated my love of this series. Thank you for your super insightful and awesome reactions. Stay amazing, can't wait for you to see whats in store.

[@ljeans531]

I loved it too, it made me smile. And the POV scenes were incredible!

[@Shaybay_43]

That's totally how I felt afterwards and yes all those scenes made me teary-eyed but the Kenma fun comment and Hinata's yell was #1 for me. The action was so intense it felt like a real game. As a manga reader of course there's a lot that wasn't able to be included due to the movie length but they did a great job with what they did include🎉 so sad it's ending 😢

[@sympaticaelah]

Ive been waiting for your movie reaction!! I wanna rewatch it toooo!!! Animation was so elevated im glad to put a lot of effort on it!

[@DWargs]

When I went, there were three other people in the theatre and it still made the experience better. I can't imagine what it would have been like with 25 passionate fans there! And you are so right! The emotion hit every time, and those actions shots were the best animation Haikyuu has ever had! Absolutely loved it!

[@Ozai75]

So happy for you guys. All of you. Such a wonderful community.

[@froncedeponce2769]

The boom jump is sensational. Chapter 314-315 is when it occurs in the manga and there's two notable changes: 1) Hinata misses the first one and barely tips it. Kageyama sets him again on the next point and he slams it like the movie and 2) There's a mini-flashback when Hinata gets the second open set of all of the people he begged to set for him growing up. He's been hitting high sets for far, far longer than his quicks. Overjoyed to see this match finally animated. Ukai's "My student is on the court. My blood is on the court" sent me into a rainstorm of tears.

[@EnriqueGarcia-tc6uy]

Sarah is te best!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chlsnnx]

This looks so fun! It's a bummer I live from the other side of the world 😭 I wish we got a longer version too because there's so much in the manga that didn't make it in the movie. but the movie is still wonderful! ❤

[@polyanagula]

the anime will be out next week in my country, so I didn't watch it yet, but I started crying seeing your passion and mentioned grandpa Ukai shaking hands... I am so looking forwards to seeing that scene animated!

[@MsKRRey]

I can't wait for your reaction video for this ❤

[@Menialma0410]

The way I cried the first time I saw that scene of grandpa Ukai 😭😭. The second time I was worse, needed time in the bathroom to process everything 😪. I'm still hoping for another season 😭😭

[@jbel1344]

I'm so happy that you and Adam got to experience not only the movie but the community is sooooo heartwarming 💕 lots of love from México!

[@Audrey4u]

oh come on, i just love yamaguchi and tsukki's serve and block combo. and the scene when hinata almost desperate because nekoma server aiming hinata, and then he's comeback

[@blackinkpen]

I can’t wait until we do this again for the next movie!!

[@rin195]

HYPPEEEEKYUUUU 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@mani3001]

Watched the movie twice. Cried both times I also wanted it to be so much longer But the bits we got were so good

[@kunterborn1]

I got halfway through the film, and i didn't stop tearing up until the end. That final rally might be my favorite cinematic experience, ever.

[@detmetriusdemarcusbartolom1221]

can't wait for sarah to read this portion now in the manga to see all the great volleyball not shown. definitely wish they showed more but just how significant kageyama doing the high set over the middle to hinata. the king of speed himself, always thinking speed is always the answer. especially after getting a weapon like hinata... hes been growing n utilizing others better. but this was the first time he ever threw away speed completely.

[@re_vievversaid7921]

Sarah you are the best haikyuu reactor. You are so sweet and genue

[@lmdue]

I was just in aw after watching it myself! (Thank you guys btw, if Sarah hadn't streamed watching the trailer, I would've missed the showing here in town). This movie made me love Kuroo even more, he truly is an inspiration for how I want to include both teammates and opponents ❤ There's a lot of great moments, but I think the one that stuck with me the most was the serve-block combo from Yamaguchi and Tsuki - I was so moved and proud! This channel and community is so sweet, love the content ❤

[@yusriyarofifahalimah1805]

I love you Sarah.. and thanks for loving Haikyu!! 🥰

[@rkorocker1997]

As someone who has had a deep love for anime and has gained a deep love for volleyball through anime, I always end up having this same thought, "I never would have thought I'd care this much about a work of fiction," Reflecting back on the journey you've been on did you ever see your self being this in love with an anime? Especially when you heard it was about a sport you've put so many hours of blood sweat and tears into. Did you ever think you'd be in a theater surrounded by fans of the anime and yourself? Love the content and I'm so glad you're a part of this journey with us!

[@adoktors643]

This video is so great - absolutely loved it, and it's so awesome to see you guys had a good time! I wish I was closer to Canada! But I hope the movie was a great experience - can't wait for your next video!

[@mauvefleur]

I hope Adam can still see it in the theatre! But then again, i dont want you guys rushing the videos

[@colinvandelden356]

So hyped!

[@angelazhuang]

Toronto traffic is the worst😭😭, I sobbed so hard right in that theater can’t wait to see this in a video soon! (I was the girl with white shirt and biege leggings btw!!)

[@EsquirebobAnimations]

So excited you got to see it! ahhhh I can't wait to watch it again

[@rin195]

I LOOOVVVVEEEEE HINATA'S SCREAM TOO 😭😭😭😭😭

[@Juan_1228]

Great video!~ I was fortunate enough to see this movie in April when I was visiting Japan. It was spectacular and I teared up at many points too! I just knew that you were going to love it too when you got to see it

[@naiap8410]

Aaah! I'm so upset! I live in the middle of northern BC, so there are no theaters near me to watch this. I wish I could have gone to Toronto to watch it with all of you! 😭😭😭 I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I can't wait until it's out on Crunchyroll or some streaming service. Heck! I'd buy it on blu-ray if they sold it!

[@alexelizabeth2910]

I wish I could've been there 😭 I can't wait for Adam to catch up

[@YiyingLu-yk2mg]

ohhhhh you guys are so sweeeet！Even watch your vlog makes me 😭

[@adancingpencil]

Grandpa Ukai and Coach Nekomata's backstory was not animated, it was so amazing in the manga. They are the beginning to why the connection between Karasuno and Nekoma is so remarkable.

[@angel4473]

I watched the movie a week ago, It was amazing! Immediately after seeing it at the theater I wonder how long would it take for you to record a video about your reaction to this piece of art!

[@vee_soul92]

I love haikyu so much. Ive watched alot of reactors, your first reaction, and your re watch with Adam. You are my favorites! Despite not playing the sport I feel connection towards the character and made me apprrciate the sport so much now. It would be awesome to meet friends like this but I dont have anyone to watch it with so.. I asked my fiance to watch it with me.. who know nothing about Haikyu except Hinata's name. I told him to just think of it as watching an actual match. I was worried he wouldnt enjoy it.. but he actually cried and said he can relate to Kenma a lot (the flashbacks really helped alot). Ofc i did cry as well but it is when Hinata broke free from the cage. I need to rewatch the movie because i was overwhelmed that i cant remember parts of it. I have to wait to stream it at home 🤧 and hopefully my fiance will catch up soon as he started to watch the series from the start. I cant wait for you to stream this and record a reaction together with Adam. We know that 2nd watch through does not take away those emotions. Cant wait for that day. So excited!

[@amini7749]

私も日本で🇯🇵映画をみました。涙なしでは見れないくらい感動しました🏐

[@t3cchan]

Looks like such an amazing meetup, glad you guys had a great time!

[@lifeahahafk]

This is almost the same as my reaction and that is so validating!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing a fellow hq fan love the movie!!!!

[@TownspersonB]

I had a huge grin on my face almost the entire time I watched the movie the first time. I could not stop thinking about it for a good two days. Found out the theater was showing it the following weekend and went for a second viewing. The other people in the theater would not stop talking, using their phones, or moving around through the whole movie so I could not focus on it and actually regretted watching it the second time... I'm beyond hyped for the next movie and hope I get a good crowd on that viewing.
