Vidder's Notes

The secret behind the show is that THEY'RE ROBOTS. HAIKYUU IS MY FAVORITE SCI-FI ANIME.

I... don't even have a fun story behind this concept. I just randomly thought of it one day and was like YOLO LET'S D O I T. Then I spent 2 weeks trying to find a robot and watching Space Dandy GOOD TIMES.

THE ENDING WAS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT, like I wanted to have him be found out by his team and them be like WTF but it was all dependent on a clip that ended up NOT EXISTING SO LOL BYE PLOT HAVE A HIGH FIVE AND SOME BIRDS.
