Haikyuu!! To the Top 2nd Cour Review<\/em><\/p>\n

Season aired<\/b>: Fall 2020<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Number of episodes<\/b>: 13<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Genres<\/b>: Sports, Comedy, Drama<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thoughts<\/b>: <\/span>Haikyuu!! To The Top<\/span><\/i>\u2019s second cour begins exactly where its first cour left off. Having made Nationals, Karasuno now braves the large courts against some of the most powerful volleyball teams in Japan. Facing off against Inarizaki, a powerhouse\u00a0 team that earned second place in the Nationals the prior year, the Karasuno team faces their most challenging foes yet while learning to grow and improve.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While the first cour of this fourth season spends its time on character development in a manner reminiscent of the second season\u2019s training arc, the second cour resembles the third season by being wholly dedicated to a single battle. However, it takes longer this time around for the anime<\/a> to find its power and inspiring feeling.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know many people blamed the animation for this reason, and while the animation quality certainly dropped in particular episodes, due to the tight schedule and the unprecedented pandemic, I don\u2019t think it happ<\/a>ened enough for me to resolutely say that those instances took me out of the story. One particular episode got animated poorly, while another episode had some wonky moments, but the majority of the show still had detailed movements during the matches and memorable facial expressions. I know the drops in quality still disappointed fans who had become accustomed to Haikyuu\u2019s impeccable animation throughout its first three seasons and the first cour of the fourth, but considering the uniqueness of the situation that the team operated in, I don\u2019t find it unreasonable to give the animation team some slack for what they\u2019ve accomplished in the set timeline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
