You might remember hearing about Jan Scott-Frazier's amazing career as one of the first Americans to ever work full-time in Japan inside the anime industry. Years ago, she was on ANNCast, sharing stories of her adventures as an anime animator & director, and eventually becoming the President of the US branch of Production I-G. Now, sadly, she needs help. After being removed from the kidney donor list, she must now move into an assisted living facility, and needs help with her moving and medical expenses. If you can, consider donating a little to a true Anime Veteran! If you don't have the means to donate, please pass this along for others to see.

***SPOILER ALERT***

Apologies, but after now having watched the dubbed version of Providence and comparing some of the key scenes to the subbed version, there is SO MUCH WRONG with how most of the fandom was disappointed by and panned this new installment into the Psycho-Pass world.

#1 - Akane Tsunemori? Oh, that's a Queen playing her own moral hybrid of poker and chess while everyone else ((including Sibyl)) is wasting time with checkers and go-fish. 💅🏻

#2 - #Shinkane may not have slapped us all in the face in this movie like skme of the fandom wanted, but to say that Kogami was indifferent, cruel, or cold to specifically Akane is just a blatant and frankly absurd misconception. Indifference would not have told her three times how much faith he has in her. Apathy would not have given her until the last possible second to talk Tonami down before stepping in to save her. Someone cold would not have been SO relieved to hear her remind him they're teammates or be as adamant to join her on a mission forbidden by the system he had JUST received amnesty from with words like "as if anyone could stop me". And we won't even TALK about the barely concealed emotion (Rage? Absolution? Determination?) in his eyes when he walked out of Tokorozawa at the end, but no one is that militant regarding someone they're "indifferent" about.

#3 - I felt bad for Frederica a LOT throughout this movie. 🥺

#4 - I loved the growth we got to see in Mika and Hinakawa. 🥹

#5 - I could be *easily* convinced about both Sugino AND GinoMika depending on the time of day. 😅

#6 - Still convinced Akane and Shion have become besties by this point, and no one can prove me wrong. 🤷🏻‍♀️

#7 - My heart hurt SO badly at the empathy Ko showed Akira. 😭

#8 - And skipped a beat at the events with Saiga. 😭😭

#9 - And then cracked in half at Akane's letter and subsequent sob session. 😭😭😭

Honestly, I'm still processing over here and will probably edit this with subsequent rewatches over the next few days. But seriously, what a great movie that turned out to be, and I *WISH* I could see what the writers had to leave on the cutting room floor for time purposes. 🤯🙌🏻🩵

As someone who just got into Haikyuu, I'm pissed off by the decision of adapting the remaining 100 manga chapters in 2 movies. Heck, even an OVA release like Prince of Tennis or Saint Seiya would have been better.

But...as an Eyeshield 21 & Slam Dunk fan...I'm at least glad the production committee decided to greenlight adapting THE event the entire series has been building up to...even if it's in the worst way possible.

I just hope the production committee later releases an expanded TV version or something. Heck, I'd take another funny AoT-like situation of "Final Season Parts 1, 2 and 3" any day.

The Haikyuu anime is just way too good and well-done to carry that stain forever (like Death Note rushing the latter arcs or HxH 2011 taking the weird decision of skipping the first chapter and never adapting it)

A rushed ending is bad...but personally I see it as more preferable than no ending at all. I know plenty of good anime that I just don't feel like watching because of that reason. Why bother getting used to an anime, watching it all...if I have to eventually jump to the manga.

With Haikyuu at least you can watch the entire story in the beautiful adaptation by Production IG and then have the manga as an "expanded version".

It sucks that it had to end like this. I wonder if it's because of COVID, because the manga ended and thus the production committee doesn't see greenlighting more seasons as profitable.
