| Is this anime really that good ? Why ? |
 |
| Umnn not really. I believe it is extremely overrated. I started watching it recently when I saw it came out as the top 10 most sold manga of 2014 so I decided to give it a try along with Diamond no Ace. After 15 episodes in I really don't see how can this anime be rated so high, I just can't take an anime about volleyball seriously like many others specially when its guys playing it instead of females. So let me tell you the pros and cons about this anime + Haikyuu is actually pretty funny + I like the unique character designs and animation - It's lacking that adrenaline pump scenes that kuroko no basket and other sport anime have. - Hinata ( the main character ) can be annoying as hell sometimes - I am 15 episodes in and not a single "REAL" match has been played. - I don't see many strategies being used in the games. - It is super dramatic for like no reason at all, I mean its freaking volleyball jesus why do they over-exaggerate things. I know I might get hate for this but this is just my opinion, however I will still finish the anime |
| It's a very interesting show, Haikyuu takes an approach that focuses on characterization opposed to the "action" side of sports by disregarding super powers and not having too many official matches. The plot is driven more on aspirations and motivation along with a mixture of comedy. Personally it ticks all the boxes for me, but if your looking for a more action packed or tactical sports themed anime, you'd be better off looking into other shows, with One Outs or Giant Killing being my recommendations. |
| just watch it yourself OT: good pacing (like its really good), good incorporation of drama, great comedy, fun characters (every1's likable!), good art/animation, refreshing |

Maybe you just weren't that into it, therefore you didn't get the hype. Hinata is not annoying and he may be the main character but he is not the ONLY character. They all get some good spotlight, they are all very likable, even those from the opposing team. Again about "real" matches....this is a utterly pathetic excuse of a con for a sports anime, you do know that this is how sports happen in real life right? They train and play practice matches before jumping straight into a tournament. All sports anime are dramatic, I don't see how this was any more dramatic than the others. They all try to conjure up emotions from the audience, therefore creating exciting, over -the-top situations to rile us up. Finish it or don't finish it. That's up to you. HashiMada4Ever said: What's the point of creating this thread when you can read the reviews? -_- Many agreed with those reviews so the story must be "really that good." You won't know whether you like the story until you watch/read an episode/chapter of it. Indeed. |

You say this and yet praise Kuroko no Basket? Which uses what are essentially superpowers in a show about basketball? Talk about hypocritical. |
| Yeah. |

Yeah I can't believe some people actually hate Haikyuu!! enough to use other sports anime to bash on it. Come on, guys. Keep yer hate to yourself. |
| Looking at your list and seeing that you really loved Kuroko no Basket I'm sure you'll love Haikyuu. It has some excellent matches and likeable/loveable characters. Has some great comedy as well. Give it a episode or two to see if you like it, never hurts to try. |
now playing :: tides of man - keep me safe  |
| No, it sucks that's why the score is so high. Everyone hates it, just look at the reviews. Use your common sense and you would see that. |

Objective said: opposed to the "action" side of sports by disregarding super powers That doesn't really make sense, most sports anime are not super powered. Hardly something worth praising it for.. OT: I think that's a dumb question for something ranked high. You should already know the majority of answers.. |
 |
| Definitely. I had some quarrel to myself on watching it since I've never watched a sports anime before but look at it now; right in the middle of my favourites list Give it a go and you won't regret it |

| its good |
 |
| Not bad :3 |

| I can only speak on the first season but I think its very overrated I've heard the later seasons are better though. The animation isn't anything special to me the characters are bland and the matches are predictable. The first episode is really good though but after it felt like the same thing over and over with uninteresting opponents and players. It must be really good for some people though so you should give it a try I prefer Kuroko no Basket though. |
