Team Otter

Logo by Nana

## Origin

Inspired by a conversation started on tumblr (user confessions-haikyuu), the original teams were created by a group of people and were quickly filled out with full rosters.

## About

Due to their uncharacteristic play style, the Otters often find themselves within the top ten teams regularly in the national high school championship. They are an urban school, located in the heart of their city and boasting a large campus with quite a lot of athletic facilities. Due to this, they are the hosts for the training camp in summer and winter.

The Otters talk the entire game, a habit which most other teams find annoying and confusing. They move quickly on the court and rely on the other team's distraction to execute fast paced plays and slide away with extra points the other team didn't even know they were losing.

Atsushi has dark brown, jaw-length hair that is usually tied up, his bangs untouched. His eyes are a deep brown, much like his hair, and are usually coated in eyeliner and mascara. His skin is quite pale and has many freckles spread around his nose and cheek area. Atsushi is seen to be holding a bored expression.

## Personality

Atsushi is a quiet, shy boy with a lot on his mind. He becomes nervous very easily which results in him lacking a social life. When talking to close friends, such as Cameron Collins, Daiki Takahashi, Kaito Akashi and Ren Kanno, he may be seen to act more animated and more comfortable.

Daiki and Chizuko moved away to Eastern Bourne when Atsushi was nine, which made Atsushi want to pay volleybal less since it wasn't as for for him. At ten years old, Atsushi lost his father to a car accident on the way back from a game. Since then, Atsushi became more attached to volleyball and trained harder. A year later, his mother was found dead from drug overdose, and both him and Asami were moved to foster care. They stayed there for one year until Asami was eighteen years old and was able to go out of foster care. She took Atsushi and moved to Eastern Bourne, moving is with Chizuko who was living in a two-bedroom apartment.

## Sports Career

Atsushi played volleyball all through middle school and high school. When he was in middle school, he played as a middle blocker, just like his dad did, but was more comfortable playing as a wing spiker as discovered in his first year of highschool. His volleyball rival is assumed to be Daiki Takahashi of the bears, whom he grew up with a played volleyball with when they were younger.

* He is simultaneously an early bird and night owl.

Team Bear

Logo by Nana

## Origin

Inspired by a conversation started on tumblr (user confessions-haikyuu), the original teams were created by a group of people and were quickly filled out with full rosters.

## About

The Bears are a strong powerhouse school, only recently come into their success in volleyball. Their other sports teams have long dominated the district, and after a recent overhaul of their program, they quickly rose into a top five position. They're often in the top ten in the national high school championship tournaments, and any game they play in is an exciting one to watch.

Their main strategy seems to be waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Their team has a very strong defense and stamina, and a lot of their plays seem to come out of nowhere.

The Bears are generally a friendly group of people, although very proud, and seem to be on okay standing with the other teams, save for a few members.

Team Lynx

## Origin

Inspired by a conversation started on tumblr (user confessions-haikyuu), the original teams were created by a group of people and were quickly filled out with full rosters.

## About

Since creating a team for the co-ed volleyball league, the Lynxes have had a slow start. Compared to the other teams around them, their play style is slower and more old fashioned, earning them the nickname "Old Geezers". Thanks to being invited to the training camp, they're quickly seeing improvement, and will most likely join the other teams they train with in being high ranked, competitive opponents.

The Lynxes school is set in a quiet suburban area, surrounded by flowering trees. They have to travel at least four hours by bus to arrive at the Otter's school, suggesting that they are in a very different district than the other teams.

Team Fox

## Origin

Inspired by a conversation started on tumblr (user confessions-haikyuu), the original teams were created by a group of people and were quickly filled out with full rosters.

## About

The Foxes are an easily overlooked team with a comparatively short roster. They've been long time participants in the training camps due to their close affiliation with the Wolves, and have recently began to climb their way up the national rankings.

Play style for the Foxes is more subdued than other teams, with a strong emphasis on defense and receiving. They're very adept at quicks and other subtle plays that it takes a sharp eye to detect. The Foxes have placed within the top ten at the last three national high school tournaments.

## Personality

## Statistic

Stamina: (5 / 5), Strategy (3 / 5), Technique (3 / 5), Jump (4/ 5), Speed (3 / 5), Power (4/ 5)

Like many of his teammates, Ren's reliability as a player comes from his incredible stamina. Thanks to training in the third gym, his block has become incredibly accurate, something which his team depends upon as they improve and do better in the tournaments. He is the Ace on the team.

## Trivia

They're slow to change their opinion and they're extremely dedicated to their friends.

Rudy has been shown to interact well with others, going so far as to recruit members from other teams to come and practice in the third gymnasium during free time. Sayako stated that last year it was just as active, suggesting that Rudy regularly seeks out players who are either incredibly talented, need some improvement, or both. After Cory's first impression, it was hard for him to believe that they were a nationally ranked player, meaning Rudy doesn't act with the professionalism one would expect.

## Statistics

Stamina (4/5), Strategy (5/5), Technique (4/5), Jump (3/5), Speed (4/5), Power (3/5)

## About

The Robins are consistently one of the top schools in the country, usually placing within the top five in the high school tournaments.

About Bloom

Inspired by a conversation on Tumblr (posted by user confessions-haikyuu), a group of friends began messaging and creating characters in a fictional setting, based on the world of Haikyuu!! Slowly, more characters and full teams emerged, and from there came a story.

Bloom is a webcomic about volleyball set in the fictional country of Eastern Bourne, where it's celebrating the 25th year of co-ed leagues. The story follows 15 year old Cory Shires after he joins his school's volleyball team as a manager. When he accompanies the Lynxes to a training camp--the first one they've been invited back to in nearly ten years--he realizes just how much he has to learn about volleyball. Through making new friends and tying up loose ends with old ones, Cory begins to come around to a new way of thinking about life and love. Just when he thinks that's all there is to it, he's given the opportunity to be the change he's always wished to see in the world. Can he take that final step and be brave enough to follow through?

More information about the story, characters, and it's creators can be found on the blog bloom-comic and thirdgymbestgym .

Computeropolis 3 Script Details Announced

By Rick DeMott | Friday, September 21, 2007 at 12:00am

In Films, Films | Headline News | Geographic Region: All

With Universal feature animation founder Michael Wildshill previously talking up another COMPUTEROPOLIS sequel at Cannes, Universal has announced that SHREK scribe Joe Stillman will write the screenplay for COMPUTEROPOLIS 3. In addition, Thomas Lennon, the writer for the COMPUTEROPOLIS films, will be involved as a script consultant.

The studio confirms that the third film will deal with global warming on the computer world. Internet rumors state that the film will follow Peri and the gang facing against a mysterious figure who tries to melt the internal infrastructure of the Internet.

Like the other COMPUTEROPOLIS films, other writers will be brought onto the project to polish it after Stillman. The studio said they might look to writers who worked on the previous films in the franchise.

No director(s) have been announced (COMPUTEROPOLIS and COMPUTEROPOLIS 2 director Audel LaRoque is busy working on an original project) and it is most probable that stars Jesse McCartney and David Spade will return as the key voices. The actors received $5 million for COMPUTEROPOLIS 2 and should be able to negotiate bigger paychecks after the stellar performance of the sequel. Universal hopes to have COMPUTEROPOLIS 3 in theaters for the summer in 2010.

Three months after the release of its latest hand-drawn toon “Mistress Masham’s Repose,” Universal Feature Animation has unveiled a diverse slate of ten all-CGI projects.

Lineup will be supervised by U animation prexy John Cohen, who has been upped from head of development.

UFA has signed James Gunn to rewrite the script on superhero heist “Big Hero 6” by scribes Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow (“Toy Story”). Pic, based on the Marvel comic series, is being helmed by Gingo Animation topper Geo G., making his first solo animated project for U without his flagship animation company, and will be in Geo’s trademark style in vein of “Gabriel Garza” and “TeenV.” It was originally planned as a hand-drawn feature before being converted into CGI.

“Paint World” director Audel LaRoque is developing the action comedy “Computeropolis,” about a boy who accidentally got transported inside his computer where he comes across a computer world. Thomas Lennon (“Galaxion”) is penning the screenplay.

Also signed to UFA by Cohen is Steve Samono, one of the animators on “Paint,” who is directing “Operation School,” an actioner set in school. Toon follows a group of students who are recruited into a secret agency based underneath the school grounds in order to save the day.

Ralph Zondag, co-director on “Ama and the Mysterious Crystal”, is working on fantasy adventure “Greenwoods,” which follows a man who stumbles upon a mysterious realm with fairy tale creatures while trying to head back home. Pic will blend hand-drawn and CGI. No writers have been set for the project.

U animator Gary Hall has been tapped on to make his directorial debut on “Nerd Boy,” another superhero pic, this time about a geeky teenager who suddenly becomes a superhero by giving powers. Hall is also writing.

Finally, U has new projects based on their Gingo properties underway for UFA, including an all-CGI “Gabriel Garza” feature, which is being helmed by UFA topper Michael Wildshill, and a film version of the comic strip “BJ and Wally.”

According to an U rep, their first CGI pic is expected to bow late 2003.

“This is an interesting time in the animation industry,” Cohen said. “While there is clearly still a big appetite among moviegoers for great animated films, there is a feeling of sameness about much of the product coming out of the industry at present, in terms of their stories. I think there’s a great opportunity to excite audiences by raising the stakes in terms of the quality, intelligence and variety of the stories our animated films tell and the genres they inhabit.”

Computeropolis: The Deep Web Box Office: Universal Animation Sequel Dominates With $135 Million Debut

*Variety*

Universal’s domination over the box office only seemed to strengthen this weekend as “Computeroplis: The Deep Web” easily topped box office charts.

The fourth entry in Universal Animation’s animated series collected $135 million in ticket sales when it debuted in 4,462 North American theaters. While that haul is significantly below expectations – early estimates initially anticipated a start near $160 million – it’s hardly a disappointment for the critically acclaimed movie.

Despite glowing reviews, box office prognosticators suggest that “Computeropolis 4” underperformed because audiences were wary about the 3rd entry which wasn't as well-received compared to other installments. The domestic debut is however a slight jump, which bowed nearly a decade ago with $105 million. However, strong word of mouth will likely keep “Computeropolis 4” in theaters long throughout the summer.
'Cool Spot' Eyes Huge $50-60 Million-Plus Opening Weekend

***Variety***

After popcorn season comes to a close, Universal and Gingo are hoping to bring some more family fun for moviegoers with "Cool Spot."

Early tracking suggests the video game adaption is on pace to open to more than $60 million when it opens on Sept. 14, though some estimates predict it could make as much as $70 million which is also breaking a record for the biggest opening weekend for a video game adaptation. This will be a record-breaking gross considering the biggest animated September opening weekend being Hotel Translyvania 2with a $48.6 million opening weekend. The film has received critical acclaim, while currently attaining a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and most critics calling it the best video game adaption of the century and in Hollywood history. With these reviews, you can expect a much higher opening weekend alongside the word of mouth.

“Cool Spot" stars the voice of Pharrell Williams (most known for making Happy for Despicable Me 2) as the title character alongside an ensemble voice cast with Mila Kunis, Alec Baldwin, Bobby Cannavale, Tom Holland, Luke Wilson, Snoop Dogg, Bill Murray, Bobby Moynihan, James Corden, Michael B. Jordan, Adrien Brody, Steve Coogan, Ron Funches, Alison Brie, Andy Samberg, and Debra Messing. It’s set in a fictional city called Pop City and centers on the title character on an unintentional adventure to return the coolness to his home city after it is stolen and taken far away. Gingo is known for its successful films with its most recent being Gabriel Garza 3which was released last year grossing $812.7 million worldwide.

Its opening weekend is shown to be profitable and will be able to surpass Hotel Transylvania 2, however it's very unlikely to match the surprise success last September when Andy Muschietti’s “It” shattered records with its massive $123 million debut. The Warner Bros. and New Line hit went on to earn over $700 million worldwide. A sequel, “It: Chapter 2,” is currently in the works.

“Cool Spot” will compete against Fox'’s “The Predator" which is the fourth installment in the successful Predator film series. Boyd Holbrook stars in this newest installment, which is on track for a debut between $25 and $30 million. Also opening on the same weekend is “White Boy Rick,” a crime drama set to open between $5 and $9 million, "A Simple Favor", a neo-noir comedy starring Anna Kendrick, projected to gross around $12-17 million, and "Unbroken: Path to Redemption" a drama starring Samuel Hunt, expected to gross low with $2-6 million.

Do you think Cool Spot has the potential of beating It's record of $123 million? Hit the comments to speak your opinion.
'Paradoria' Director Steve Samono to Direct And Write Illumination Movie 'Nepola'

*Cartoon Brew*

May 14, 2019

A few weeks before *The Secret Life of Pets 2* premieres, Illumination has tapped Steve Samono, director of the *Paradoria* franchise, to write and direct an original animated movie titled *Nepola*. The announcement came four weeks after Samono signed a five-year deal with Universal Studios that allows him to helm live-action and/or animated films, including the ones by Illumination. Since 2005, Samono has directed *M.I.S.S.I.O.N.* with Ash Brannon, *Paradoria* with Gary Hall, and its sequel for Universal Animation.

Illumination's Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy will produce the film. Laurie Craig (frequent collaborator with Samono), Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio (*Despicable Me* franchise) are co-writing the screenplay with Samono. It is expected to be released on July 1, 2022.

Illumination also revealed the film's synopsis will take place in Ancient Greece. Nepola, a teenage girl born with wings who dreams of becoming a powerful goddess, embarks on a journey to find the mysterious realm of Greek gods, hoping they could help her become a goddess. The animation will be handled by Illumination Mac Guff.

AMA 2 is in the works

By David Kilmer | Tuesday October 14, 1997 at 12:00am

In Films, Films | Headline News | Geographic Region: All

Given the fact that AMA AND THE MYSTERIOUS CRYSTAL topped No. 1 at the box office and grossed over $200 million worldwide, it should be no surprise that Universal already has plans for a sequel to its very successful AMA. Decisions regarding whether the sequel will be theatrical or direct-to-video, as well as who will direct it, have yet to be announced.
‘Paradoria 2’ on Track for a Massive $150 Million Debut

The magically power couple are back again and set to destroy the box office.

“Paradoria 2,” the Finn Wolfhard-led sequel, is on pace to open to a huge $150 million in North America this November, early tracking suggests. The animated film isn’t bowing in theaters until November 8, but that number is already ahead of the original movie, which launched in December 2015 with $113 million domestically. It went on to earn $1.126 billion worldwide, making it the highest grossing non-sequel by Universal Animation and their second highest grossing film of all time worldwide.

The Universal film arrives just in time to start off the Thanksgiving holiday. The UAS title is heading toward a huge and possibly record-breaking debut on November 8, looking to make $150 million to $170 million, with a possibility of even crossing the $180 million mark. If numbers reach the end of that range, “Paradoria 2” could have one of the biggest animated openings of all time.

“Paradoria 2” follows the titular characters Jamo and his girlfriend Princess Kenna as they find an antidote after the King becomes sick.

The estimates come ahead of Universal’s CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas, where the studio will preview its upcoming slate.
Friday Report: 'Paradoria' Overperforms, 'Chappie' Crashes, 'Business' Bombs

*Box Office Mojo*

After an overperforming picture and two unappealing movies, audiences fled to theaters to see the latest film by Universal Animation Studios.

**Paradoria**, the latest film by Universal Animation Studios, out-performed even the modest expectations, and is expected to open up to $110 million, making it the biggest opening weekend for an original film, and the first to reach $100 million as well.

Chappie**fell short of modest expectations, while**Unfinished Business**was the latest (and worst) bomb yet for Vince Vaughn.**

The one bright spot was **The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel**, which took third place despite playing in fewer than 1,600 theaters.

In second place, **Chappie** earned an estimated $4.5 million from 3,201 locations. That's a fraction of director Neill Blomkamp's last movie, **Elysium**, which opened to $11.1 million in August 2013. It's also noticeably lower than last month's **Jupiter Ascending** ($6.3 million). **Chappie** could wind up earning less than $13 million this weekend.

Heading in to its second weekend, **Focus (2015)** fell 55 percent to an estimated $2.88 million. The Will Smith/Margot Robbie con artist movie has so far earned $27.4 million.

Playing at 1,573 locations, **The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel** opened in fourth place with an estimated $2.7 million. That's more than the first **Marigold Hotel** made on any single day; that movie had a platform release, though, so this isn't a great apples-to-apples comparison. For the weekend, **The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel** should wind up with at least $8 million.

In fourth place, **Kingsman: The Secret Service** eased 29 percent to an estimated $2.23 million. To date, the word-of-mouth hit has earned $92 million at the domestic box office.
**Unfinished Business** opened in sixth place with a terrible $1.8 million. That's significantly lower than Vince Vaughn's last movie, **Delivery Man**, which took in $2.8 million on its opening day. **Unfinished Business** could wind up below $5 million for the weekend.

On Friday, **American Sniper** ($333.8 million) became the second-highest-grossing movie from 2014 ahead of **Guardians of the Galaxy**. By Monday at the latest, it will pass **The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1** to take the top spot.
Weekend Projections

1. **Paradoria** - $75 million
2. **Chappie** - $13 million
3. **Focus** - $9.7 million
4. **Marigold Hotel** - $8.3 million
5. **Kingsman** - $8.2 million
