2 and 3!

2: Has an anime ever made you cry?

Oh for sure! Multiple have, but immediately my first thoughts went to Clannad. That show had me bawling all through the after story. Ooh and the last arc of the hunterxhunter anime also made me cry. ;_;

3: Which anime made you laugh the hardest?

Mmm probably either Saiki K or Ouran. Oh! And my sister and I watched through the Haikyuu dub, and it is a comedic masterpiece, so maybe that should be on the list as well. :P

I take back everything I ever thought about the haikyuu!! dub, it's a fucking comedic masterpiece. (mostly because of Tanaka) and I would like to submit a formal apology.

Manga i’ve Read

Haikyuu!!:

Story & Art by: Furudate, Haruichi

Synopsis:  The whistle blows. The ball is up. A dig. A set. A spike. Volleyball. A sport where two teams face off, separated by a formidable, wall-like net. The "Little Giant," standing at only 170 cm, overcomes the towering net and the wall of blockers. The awe-inspired Shouyou Hinata looks on at the ace's crow-like figure. Determined to reach great heights like the Little Giant, small-statured Hinata finally manages to form a team in his last year of junior high school, and enters his first volleyball tournament. However, his team is utterly defeated in their first game against the powerhouse school Kitagawa Daiichi, led by the genius, but oppressive setter dubbed the "King of the Court," Tobio Kageyama. Hinata enrolls into Karasuno High School seeking to take revenge against Kageyama in an official high school match and to follow in the Little Giant's footsteps—but his plans are ruined when he opens the gymnasium door to find Kageyama as one of his teammates. Now, Hinata must establish himself on the team and work alongside the problematic Kageyama to overcome his shortcomings and to fulfill his dream of making it to the top of the high school volleyball world.

Status: Completed

My Rating: 10/10

Completed in 2020 with a total of 402 chapters.

Characters: I love them all. All the love. From scrappy little underdogs to a bunch of beautiful monsters, i’m here for it all! I also really, really enjoyed how we got a glimpse of pretty well every character in the end and a hint of where they ended off, which I thought was executed quite well. 

Art/ Character Design: Perfect. The comedic faces, the intense stares and the action sequences are all extremely well done and beautifully presented. Big fan of the manga’s art style and character design. Seriously though Tsukishima’s face in pretty well every panel appearance during the final arc just about killed me. Loved that boy from the beginning and loved him till the very end. 

Story: Volleyball! Friendship! Growth! Passion! 

Overall: This was a masterpiece from beginning to end! I really do appreciate how the mangaka didn’t drag it out for ages past its expiration date, while I could have done with more I think it was the proper place to end and the ending itself was expertly executed. 

There’s so much i’d like to nerd out about here... like where some of our favourites ended up, or who they ended up with but i’m trying to keep this all as spoiler free as possible so I must control myself. 

I’m a bit sad but extremely satisfied with how it all ended. Haikyuu!! meant a lot to me, the story had it’s moments where the feelings hit a little too close to home, or a line managed to steal the breath from my lungs. It’s the first ever sports manga I read, and most likely the best. A memorable series from beginning to end that i’m not likely to forget anytime soon. 

I laughed, i cried (an embarrassing amount), I squealed with delight and silently seethed while consuming each and every page with a hunger that surprised even myself. Honestly i’ve now been talking for far too long and i’m getting a bit too poetic here... So. 

Why don’t you give this series a go? I promise you won’t soon regret it!
