Review of Haikyu!! Movie: The Dumpster Battle

It should've been a series, not a movie. I really love the story and this part is as good as the previous ones. I love character development, their motives and how they work in relationships. But there are so many moments that feel crammed and cramped. It really calls for standard pacing of a series where an episode is devoted solely to the back story of characters and their development. These are not obligatory but let you savor the moment and the atmosphere of the anime. Here they are hinted but not covered fully. The game is also half cut, there should be more actual volleyballscenes to give you the appropriate thrill. Once again, the story is good, but it's told here not in the best way and it's really sad.
