If people ask me what my favorite anime is, I sometimes struggle thinking because there are just a lot of anime that I love and enjoy. I even rewatch them multiple times. However, if I'm to base my answer on the number of times I rewatched an animated series, the answer is quite obvious. It's Haikyuu!
I've rewatched all seasons (1-4) more than ten times and I'm more than willing to watch it again. I just never get tired of watching it.
Yesterday, Haikyuu's latest movie The Dumpster Battle was finally shown in the Philippines. They had a fan screening yesterday and the regular screenings would start from tomorrow.
Obviously, the Haikyuu! fan in me found myself watching the fan screening. I don't usually like going to fan screenings because I know it would be crowded and I'm not really a huge fan of that. However, I decided to hide my introverted self a bit and went for it.
I went to the fan screening with my cousin who is also a fan of Haikyuu! Unfortunately, our other cousin couldn't come because of school and she lives far. 😭
Anyway, there were hundreds of people who came as the ticket for the fan screening was sold out. It was extra exciting because some fans who came to watch the movie also cosplayed.
My cousin asked me to tell them he wanted a groufie. hahaha He's so cute... I should take him to some cosplay events someday. I haven't been in one for years, though.
Another perk of going to a fan screening are the merch that you get. People lined up to get their merch before going inside. It was so exciting!!!
The movie was awesome!!!
I expected it because this arc is my favorite from the manga and it didn't disappoint at all. It was even much better than I expected.
It's so funny because we're watching with fellow fans, so the theater was so interactive as if we're really watching the match in person. People were cheering, laughing, awe-inspired and heartily enjoying every screen.
There's one thing I want to highlight, though. There's a certain scene which was done in Kenma's perspective and it was one of the best things ever!!! You'll get what I mean when you watch the movie. It's so worth it.
After the film, I went to my cousin's place to spend the night (and to take him home coz the movie ended late). Well, I'm still here... So I'm blogging on my phone. I just can't wait to share my experience here.
We kept talking about the movie as we unboxed the merch we got. Let me show you some photos...
Having official merch hits differently! It's definitely worth it! I've been wanting this Haikyuu! 33.5 because it has some "names" of the manga. It's just amazing to see some early process of the manuscript. Huhuhu I feel so happy... 😁😁😁
Now, I'll do some stuff while I'm in this area before going home in the afternoon. I still got to work tonight. It's ok though because despite the effort and the crowd, I had one hell of a blast. Thanks to Haikyuu! 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for reading and see you around!
