I love To The Top!! but the 1st gen cast of engeki Haikyuu just hits different

[junosmindpalace]

i recently started properly watching the haikyuu stageplay and there is. SO MUCH. I love about it. the volleyball always rolling in front of hinata to symbolize how hes always finding his love and passion for the game? Amazing. the echoing “faster” that grows louder and louder when tsukishima taunts kageyama about being a dictator on the court, not only a great transition to show some backstory but also show how much the situation haunts him? Brilliant. and those are just STORYTELLING DETAILS. the choreo represents the actions taken and chaos of the sport so WELL and especially the fact that so much of it is group focused, having all of these incredibly intricate and elaborate dances with a huge cast to put emphasis on teamwork and collaboration and how everyone is an important part of the story and how steady buildup can be beneficial in the sport. And the TECHNICAL DETAILS ARE INCREDIBLE the lighting the sfx, especially as someone who wants to pursue media production and directing this stuff BLOWS ME AWAY and it’s always looking at art like this that makes me SO eager to make things like that myself

As a fellow Nekoma's second years enjoyer who just recently found your posts, I need to know your thoughts on that scene in season 4 where Tora is like "you can call me Tora, that's what my friends call me" and Kenma's like "meh, can I not" and they're fighting and Fukunaga runs to them with the bucket. And then an abrupt cut to Kenma crying out "Tora!" while passing the ball. Insane. Still hits me with emotions every time I rewatch it.

And also this frame from the stage play.

DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT EPISODE OH MY GOD, I know I mostly talk about them as a group or Fukutora but Kenma and Tora's relationship is soooo special to me. They're such an important dynamic, especially for Kenma's character development!! To have someone as introverted and generally people-aversed as Kenma consider a guy with the complete opposite personality a friend is so endearing. Tora's everything he hates from how loud he is to his gung ho mindset to his boundless energy, but despite that they manage to get over their differences and build a connection. Even if he wouldn't admit it him calling Tora by his nickname is an involuntary acknowledgement of that bond. One of my favorite parts about Dumpster Battle or any Nekoma-centered arcs is watching Kenma grow to love not only volleyball but the people around him— it's great seeing him go from clinging to a childhood friend to allowing all sorts of people into his life. AND THE WAY KUROO WATCHES PROUDLY AS THEY TRY TO HUG HIM UGHH. In conclusion I can't watch that episode without losing my shit.

Slight tangent but I also love how those episodes turn Tora into more than just Tanaka 2.0. Obviously his design and personality were made to mirror him and that's his main gimick but by exploring his relationship with the other second years he becomes less two-dimensional.

Anyways here are some of my favorite Tora / Kenma panels because i miss them

Key differences between Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu!! and Gekidan Haikyuu!! (+ Review)

Btw don’t ask me for scans of the pamphlet or bromides bc I didn’t buy them. The only merch I bought was a t-shirt and a towel ok BABY’S ON A BUDGET.

• No “hyper projection” and no rotating stage

• Less emphasis on music and dancing, more on acting

• The stage is level and not on an incline. This means the volleyball net could be on wheels and be rolled around on the stage (in fact, most of the set pieces were on wheels)

• No epic opening or closing sequences

• Very few (if any, I don’t remember) musical interludes—really, there was music only during the volleyball matches

• No Seijoh/Oikawa theme music 🥲 or Nekoma theme (for when they’re briefly mentioned in the announcement of the GW training camp)

• More characters! Seijoh actors doubled as Yukigaoka players/all FOUR members of the Karasuno Neighborhood Association, not just Shimada and Takinoue!

• They really fleshed out the Yukigaoka vs. Kitaichi game! Like, Hinata had actual teammates, it wasn’t just him and Kagz 1 v 1 on the court like it was in the first Haisute (although, I guess it wasn’t technically 1 v 1 then either bc Kindaichi and Kunimi were also there)

• They included even more scenes from the series and stayed even truer to the source material. I think leaving out the music and intense dance breaks opened up a lot of room for this

Some callbacks to Engeki:

• Hinata hums the tune to a musical motif from Engeki but I cannot for the life of me remember which one it was even though I JUST saw it today. If I had to guess (bc the scene involved Hinata imitating Kagz), it was Kageyama’s theme from the first Haisute when he whips off his cape and crown.

• Ennoshita (AND Kinoshita AND NARITA!!) do the “SE〜NO” synchronized clap with the audience (and it made me so so SOOOO happy!!)

Review:

Overall, this production seemed less “dramatic” in the sense that the entire performance (the acting, music, and choreo/blocking) felt very subdued compared to its predecessor. There was certainly a different energy in the theater this time around. My blood didn’t get pumping the same way it did when I saw Start of the Giant and The Tokyo Battle in-person. I believe this artistic direction was intentional. I’m just not sure it’s sustainable.

What I always appreciated the most about Engeki was that the stage performances perfectly matched the high levels of energy the anime possessed. In fact, I would argue it brought even MORE energy than the anime did or ever could in large part due to Wada Shunsuke’s memorable musical compositions and HIDALI’s ingenious choreo.

Music and dance have always been core elements of the OG Haisute to the point that each show had it’s own unique opening/closing sequence, each team had it’s own musical and dance motif, and certain reoccurring events had their own identifiable themes (e.g. the starting lineup before any given match). The true magic of Engeki lied in the music and dancing. Obviously, the cast brought their own magic by always giving 150% to their performances, but they were also matching the energy the music brought THROUGH their dancing/acrobatics. It’s all intricately woven together.

OH, not to mention the original production’s partial namesake: the projections! There was always a level of suspended reality when watching Engeki because the light projections literally helped to merge the manga with the stage. They transformed the stage and backdrop into anything and everything the story needed—manga panels, speech bubbles, a sunset, a volleyball net. They also synced with, you guessed it, the MUSIC to give an absolutely outstanding audio-visual experience.

It really hit me hard when I entered the theater to see that it really was… just a regular stage.

That’s why I question if this production (and any future ones they may have planned) is sustainable. Not in the financial sense… but just in the way of retaining interest. It didn’t get me hooked the same way Engeki did, so I don’t think I’m able to give it the same level of enthusiasm. I’m hard-pressed to believe others feel the same way. Don’t get me wrong—I enjoyed it. It wasn’t bad. It didn’t take anything away from the series… I’m just not sure it added anything to it, either. Sure, there was music and dancing, but it just paled in comparison to what we were gifted by Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu. Makes me wonder why they would take so many steps back with this production.

All that being said… I’m glad I went. I truly did enjoy myself and the cast put their all into these characters. And if nothing else, I’m glad to have gone in support of Suga Kenta (OG Hinata) in his Haisute directorial debut.

I swear I’m not overthinking things but how can I not when the Haikyu Stage play pretty much made it canon that Bokuto would carry Akaashi and shake him like a gumball machine whenever he’s excited or fired up

Like look at them in their pixelated sillyness:

Alternatively the one from the Tokyo Stageplay with Nekoma and Nohebi (yes this was during the ending but the actors were technically still in character):

And now it got me thinking:

1. Bokuto is physically affectionate most especially towards Akaashi (his character has always been depicted to reach out towards other people as well like a high five or shoulder drape but the fact that he CARRIES AKAASHI, like Bokuto is there something you want to tell us?).

2. Akaashi is completely used, if not normal to Bokuto’s physical affection/touch.

3. The two of them are comfortable enough with each other to do something as stupid silly as that.

4. Potentially this is not the first time Bokuto has carried Akaashi nor is it the first Akaashi has been practically hugged and carried by Bokuto and they could in fact have done this so many times which means they’re always reaching out to the other.

Like have you not seen them during the animated Inarizaki match?

CAN YOU SEE HOW HARD IM BRAINROTTING RIGHT NOW-

(and it’s all because of this scene Im gonna yell) 

[hirookouji]

no heterosexual explanation for why they stare at each other like this.

[and-make-it-double]

currently thinking abt the scene of ennoshita tutoring tanaka and nishinoya in the shinka no natsu stageplay

[reyryz]

i wonder if there was or is a blog or smth that documented/posted abt the kurokos basketball stageplay like there is for haikyuu. bc if that shit exists id be doing a crazy amount of redraws

[biblicallyaccuratecanine]

im still amazed at how gay hinata and kageyama are in canon

[the-applepi]

A pair

I want to have an artstyle that I can stick with.

I am still refining it. (ominous)

...But I am kind of happy with how it's coming along so far.

I used this photo for reference. I believe it's promotional material for Hyper Projection Stageplay Haikyuu!! posted on the official twitter account.
