Reviews

Critics have generally praised Hyper Projection Play "Haikyuu!!" Karasuno, Revival! for its creative adaptation of the anime and manga's high-energy volleyball matches into a theatrical experience. On IMDb, the production holds a respectable user rating around 7.8/10, reflecting positive audience response to the performances and stagecraft. Reviewers from niche anime and theater outlets have highlighted the play’s innovative use of projection mapping and choreography, which effectively simulate volleyball gameplay on stage, creating an immersive atmosphere praised as "a fresh approach to sports storytelling." However, some criticism has been noted regarding the pace and limited dialogue-driven character development, with a few reviewers mentioning that the emphasis on action sequences might overshadow deeper emotional exploration. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an official rating due to the play's stage format and limited wide release, but audience reviews underscore appreciation for the cast's energy and the passion conveyed through the production's technical elements. Overall, the play is recommended for fans of the "Haikyuu!!" franchise and those interested in experimental theater merging technology with live performance, despite minor drawbacks in narrative depth.
