Synopsis

Following their participation at the Inter-High, the Karasuno High School volleyball team attempts to refocus their efforts, aiming to conquer the Spring tournament instead.

When they receive an invitation from long-standing rival Nekoma High, Karasuno agrees to take part in a large training camp alongside many notable volleyball teams in Tokyo and even some national level players. By playing with some of the toughest teams in Japan, they hope not only to sharpen their skills, but also come up with new attacks that would strengthen them. Moreover, Hinata and Kageyama attempt to devise a more powerful weapon, one that could possibly break the sturdiest of blocks.

Facing what may be their last chance at victory before the senior players graduate, the members of Karasuno's volleyball team must learn to settle their differences and train harder than ever if they hope to overcome formidable opponents old and new—including their archrival Aoba Jousai and its world-class setter Tooru Oikawa.

The second season of Haikyuu!! deepens the character development and expands the world-building beyond Karasuno High School. It emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and personal growth, especially through the intense training camp arcs.

The season balances thrilling volleyball matches with quieter moments that highlight the bonds between teammates and rivals alike. Characters previously in the background receive more attention, making the team feel more complete.

Animation and direction improve, showcasing faster-paced matches with cinematic flair. The soundtrack complements the mood perfectly, motivating during intense scenes and softening for emotional ones.

It’s a must-watch season that solidifies Haikyuu!!’s reputation as one of the best sports anime.

Overall rating: 6, further review below

Now I know what some people might say. "If you didn't like the first season of the anime, why are you continuing it?" And my answer to that is, I'm a filthy completionist and I decide how I want to waste my time. But as I continued the anime, watching Haikyu started to feel like drinking water, without the health benefits. It's something I don't particularly look forward to, but it's such a minor thing that it has somehow become part of my life. Also, I only fell asleep once during this season of Haikyu, so that's already an improvement.

I watched both seasons back in middle school because I heard sooo many good things about it! “Most sports animes are boring but this one is so good” LIARR! BLASPHEMY! Watching this was like watching paint dry, honestly I would PREFER to watch paint dry.

Like, a good sports anime is “Stars Align” all characters each have very well written storylines, and it still is based all around the sport. Haikyuu sucked so bad I hated every second of it, none of the characters where memorable enough to learn anything about.

I remember the blonde haired guy with the bob cus he looked like a ...
