Synopsis

Ever since having witnessed the "Little Giant" and his astonishing skills on the volleyball court, Shouyou Hinata has been bewitched by the dynamic nature of the sport. Even though his attempt to make his debut as a volleyball regular during a middle school tournament went up in flames, he longs to prove that his less-than-impressive height ceases to be a hindrance in the face of his sheer will and perseverance.

When Hinata enrolls in Karasuno High School, the Little Giant's alma mater, he believes that he is one step closer to his goal of becoming a professional volleyball player. Although the school only retains a shadow of its former glory, Hinata's conviction isn't shaken until he learns that Tobio Kageyama—the prodigy who humiliated Hinata's middle school volleyball team in a crushing defeat—is now his teammate.

To fulfill his desire of leaving a mark on the realm of volleyball—so often regarded as the domain of the tall and the strong—Hinata must smooth out his differences with Kageyama. Only when Hinata learns what it takes to be a part of a team will he be able to join the race to the top in earnest.

I found Haikyuu to be pleasantly surprising! I don't normally care for sport-based anime, but Haikyuu has a certain charm that really pulls you in. Something notable IMO is that the anime doesn't fall into the trope of making all these high-school age children into god-tier players. With the exception of Kageyama, all the characters in the show are performing at levels I'd expect of a HS volleyball team, and their secret moves (like floater serves) are the types of skills that advanced HS athletes would realistically be trying to learn. In that sense Haikyuu had a realism that made me very nostalgic for my ...

Wouldn't really recommend. I mean it's alright and all but I wouldn't say it's the best sports anime (its hajime no ippo btw) I just don't think I'll rate the other seasons. I've watched them but they are all mediocre as well. Would not recommend it, but if I do you might enjoy it more than me.

Characters like daichi and tanaka were cool but other than that. Mid characters left right and centre. Hinata is the most generic of the lot but other than that he isn't that bad.

Story was alright honestly, nothing too bad at all. Art style was a little iffy at times ...

Literally on of the most boring anime I have ever seen

"Haikyuu" didn't quite hit the mark for me. Despite, I found it lacking in excitement and originality. The storyline felt predictable, and the characters failed to capture my interest...well oikawa did a little but the rest of the charecters are very basic and I didn't like the comedy in the anime it's so corny...

I can appreciate the effort put into portraying volleyball dynamics and the animation was perfect actually, but idk i really felt sleepy watching this anime . Overall, "Haikyuu" didn't manage to engage me in the way I had hoped.
