I keep thinking about the haikyuu boys and how some of their career paths as adults were a surprise to so many people. Like, if you really think about it, how many of them ever really had any of their interests outside of volleyball shown? Yeah, we see Kenma's video games and Nekoma being a bunch of nerds in general, but what do we really know about them?
Maybe Matsukawa didn't have a lot of friends until highschool, and it was because he would constantly tell people facts about mummification, or the birth of the funeral home business after the American Civil War, or how to bleach bones without breaking down their strength and composition. Maybe he would keep beetle carcasses in his pockets and give them little funerals im his yard as a little kid. Maybe he has a book on ancient death rituals he got as a gift and it influenced the rest of his life.
Maybe Nishinoya went fishing with somebody close to him, and even though he didn't like it as a young kid, he began to look forward to it as he got older. Maybe he did tons of research on fish breeds and what species are safe to fish for and which should be released, or on invasive species of fish. Maybe he can name 14 different methods of casting a fishing line and the best recipe of chum to lure certain breeds of fish off the top of his head.
Maybe Semi only became a "civil servant" by following in the path of somebody in his family, even though music is his real passion. Maybe he would hum melodies he created in the shower while doing mundane things like cooking or cleaning. Maybe he would make videos of himself singing and send it to his friends at 3 am to ask what they thought.
Maybe Tendou learned to make sweets because he wanted to try and use them to convince other kids to be his friends, and ended up having a true passion for it. Maybe he had a family cookbook owned by genrations of grandparents before him, and as he perfected new recipes his mom would let him write them down to add to the family recipes. Maybe, as a highschooler, he would spend late nights making sweets and watching anime, and the next day he would bring On-Peice themed sugar cookies to practice and refuse to let anybody leave the gym until they had one.
Yeah, there was a lot of amazing character development for the crucial characters, but even with them, there's barely anything to them beyond their volleyball lives, and tbh, I kinda feel slighted.
pingu was my favourite cartoon when i was a child :D
