Haikyuu!! the Movie: The Winner and the Loser
ハイキュー!! 勝者と敗者
Studio: Production I.G
Synopsis
The Inter-High has finally arrived for Karasuno High School's volleyball team. Their opponent at the tournament is Date Tech High School—the team that crushed Karasuno the year prior. The loss brings back anxiety and fear for the team's second- and third-years as they were unable to overcome Date's "read block." With the dynamic freshmen duo Shouyou Hinata and Tobio Kageyama on their side, will Karasuno be able to overcome their past and break through the iron wall? Awaiting Karasuno in the next round is the elite Aoba Jousai High School, led by the cunning captain Tooru Oikawa. Coming from the same middle school as Kageyama, Oikawa is a talented and unpredictable setter with a grudge against his former teammate. It is a battle between genius setters to decide who will continue on in the Inter-High. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

This was a well done recap. It provided it's purpose in making the viewer remember "Wait, what happened in the first season?" It's been so long since I watched the first season, and I really didn't feel like rewatching it to entirety because of how long that would have taken. So instead, I've watched the first and second recap movies. If you still remember what happened during the first season, this is something you can skip. But if you're like me and have absolutely forget the entirety of the story it definitely helps you prepare for season 2. It smooshes together the first season of 600 minutes, into two movie recapsof 177 minutes. So needless to say, there is a lot of detail missing. So if you haven't watched the first season at all and thought to replace it with the recap movies, don't. This show is amazing in many ways the recap movies simply can't capture. Overall the recap movies are a 6/10 for me, they're just fine. Not a masterpiece in any way and they're only to serve one purpose, not provide new or interesting content.
This essentially recaps the second half of the first season of Haikyuu!!. Except, there are two scenes which stand out and are different - there is a scene after Date Tech's loss where the third years start crying as this was their final match, as well as a scene from Kageyama's past with Oikawa, where Kageyama asks Oikawa to teach him and gets angrily rejected. Other than that, it is essentially the same. The art style is lovable and memorable, just... don't pause it. This movie, as you would expect, uses the same sound effects and music as the series, but they helped make the franchise evenmore enjoyable so that is not a bad thing. Shouyou Hinata (Simpleton Idiot, Chibi-chan, Dumbass) Tobio Kageyama (King of the Court, Bakageyama, Bateyama-kun, Kalm-geyama, Yamayama-kun, Wearyama-kun, Simpleton Idiot)
