Are you excited for season 4? I cant beleive we are getting the stage play and season 4! I was wondering why they would let the stage play surpass the anime, turn out they had another plan.
Technically the stage play will still surpass the anime, because Engeki is still likely to do 2 plays in 2019 that continue the plot beyond what’s been animated, and what was announced at Jump Fest for the anime is that there will be a kick-off event in Sep. 2019, which means the actual new season isn’t likely to start airing until reeeeally late 2019 or possibly early 2020.
That being said, I’m always hyped for Haikyuu so I’m really excited to see season 4!
In other happy news, our Engeki Haikyuu musical composer Wada Shunsuke celebrated his wedding to Niira Etsuko, a fellow musician! As composer and lyricist, they’ve worked as a unit on many productions together.
The official website for “Ryouma! Rebirth Movie The Prince of Tennis” has launched. A teaser visual from Takeshi Konomi has also been revealed. The film is slated to premiere in Spring 2020.
Happy birthday to the talented singer and voice actress! I hope she has a wonderful day! I’m almost late for this one, so I made this is a bit of a rush!
Her role as Rem is probably one of her most famous roles since the anime has skyrocketed in popularity with some arguing that Rem is “best girl”. Here’s a song performance for her role in Re:Zero!
Here’s a personal favourite. Her role as Jun Naruse in Anthem of the Heart is what truly cemented my respect for her as a seiyuu and as a singer. The cast for this movie is stacked with the main co-stars being Kouki Uchiyama, Yoshimasa Hosoya, and Sora Amamiya. This is a movie that everyone should check out.
New season of Haikyuu!! confirmed during an event at JUMP Festa today. The event to kick-off the new season (aka announcement of airing date and other details, etc.) will be held on 22 Sept 2019, with the seiyuu of Hinata, Kageyama, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi and Kozume attending. (This highly suggests that Haikyuu!! S4 will air sometime in 2020 after Production IG is done with KazeTsuyo and after all the other JUMP anime that are being hyped atm have aired earlier in 2019.)

My boyfriend was on the phone with his dad yesterday so I went out to sit on the patio to pet the geese and play on my phone for a bit, and while out there I came across a comic of baby Grimace (yes, that Grimace) being sad because everyone hated his milkshake and saying he wished he never had a birthday. Then there was a follow up where tons of people had commented saying they loved the shake and wished Grimace a happy birthday, and that made him happy again.
This, for whatever reason, emotionally devastated me. I was sobbing. I was ugly crying so bad that even the geese waddled away side-eyeing me.
After a while my bf yelled from inside, "Okay, you ready for dinner?" and I was forced to accept I had to go back in the house a defeated sniffly little wreck.
My boyfriend, who has only ever seen me cry once in the whole year we've been together, looked horrorstruck. He assumed the worst. Someone got hurt. Something was wrong with my family. Someone was mean to me (a cardinal sin). The panic that washed over his face was unparalleled.
He, upon seeing me, (somewhat theatrically) rushed over and grabbed me by the shoulders. "What's wrong, what happened? Are you okay?" he asked, frantic. "What is it?"
I realized how ridiculous the whole situation was and just shook my head.
He was growing more panicked. "What is it? Why are you crying?"
I then had to stand there and look him, this completely normal human being, in the eyes, and blurt out "Grimace"
Confused silence followed.
"....Grimace?"
I nodded.
"...The McDonalds guy...thing?"
I nodded.
"What...what did...Grimace...do to you?"
I then tearfully recounted the silly internet comic that had absolutely broken my heart. And this poor guy--this poor, wonderfully sweet, nice, patient guy--kindly stood there trying to figure out how to comfort me that Grimace was not, in fact, sad. (Nevermind that he's a corporate mascot who isn't real)
This morning my phone rang just after 5am. It was my boyfriend. It was my turn to panic, to assume the worst.
I didn't even have time to say hello before he started excitedly yelling, "Look at the TikTok I just sent you! Look! Open it!"
Confused and not entirely convinced I wasn't still asleep, I opened the TikTok.
An official release from McDonalds confirming Grimace (who still isn't real) did, in fact, feel special on his birthday.
also while we were in the car headed to dinner I remembered the little panel of Grimace crying and I got all teary eyed again, and my boyfriend looked over and, with all the genuine care, compassion, and sympathy this guy could muster, legitimately asked, “Are you having Grimace thoughts again?” which I don’t think I’ll ever let myself live down
