Synopsis

Following the events of the Inter-High, the Karasuno High School volleyball team decides to regroup by attending an intensive boot camp organized by Nekoma High School in Tokyo. At the camp, the team continues to suffer loss upon loss to the other schools in attendance. Reaching an impasse, the players each struggle to break out of their routine to hone their skills. For the team's setter-and-ace duo Shouyou Hinata and Tobio Kageyama, the frustrations cause them to falter more than anyone else. While Hinata develops his own playstyle, his recklessness leads him to fall out of sync with Kageyama's sets and earns his partner's ire instead. As they search for an answer to their woes, the two find what they are lacking from two unlikely people. Will it be enough for the team to overcome their rut? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Audience Consensus

The audience generally appreciates the additional scenes that provide closure for the rival team, Seijoh. However, the recap format is criticized for skipping details and showing only clips of previous scenes, resulting in a less detailed art style. Overall, it's considered a decent recap for those wanting to revisit the main plot points.

Strengths

  • Additional scenes focusing on Seijoh and their emotional state after the match provide a proper closure.
  • Recaps the major points of the second season efficiently.
  • Highlights the close bond between Oikawa and Iwaizumi.

Weaknesses

  • Recap format misses many matches and only shows clips of previous scenes, skipping details.
  • The art style is slightly less detailed and reuses some scenes, feeling a little lazy at times.
