| I have been expecting it since that tweet about how a "certain volleyball manga just had gotten an anime adaptation greenlit" several months ago, but it is quite nice to see a confirmation! I remember how much I have liked Furudate's style since Yotsuya-senpai, and as Haikyuu managed to be a success (and one of my favorite on going manga), I can't help but be glad. |
| I've been getting more and more into sports anime lately, so i'm really looking forward to watching this. Bishies and bromance +1 |

| Never heard of a vollyball anime before. Could be interesting. |
| Another page to the history of the Fujaku. |
| I had planned to read the High Kyuu manga some day but for some reason this anime announcement got me really excited. Volleyball anime shall be interesting. Plus, it's being animated by Production I.G. so it's bound to be good! :) |
 |
| Woah, volleyball anime this time!! |

fable said: I think it's a fun anime for fujoshi and sports lovers alike. To be honest, High Kyuu is an anime with a big fujoshi fanbase and is very popular in female parts of fandom, but what does that even matter? All having a fujoshi fanbase means is that characters generally have some good interactions, and some meaningful relationships. Anyone can enjoy it regardless. Anyway, as a big fan of the manga I'm excited to see it get an adaptation. Hope it will be good. Because people are threatened by girls who want to see two male characters holding hands and like to insult their intelligence for it but putting a female character in a tentacle rape doujin is completely normal. "Fujoshi" are capable of liking a series without wanting all the guys to bang each other. Hard to believe, I know. |
| Isn't this a sports series aimed at guys? On mangafox it always said shounen.. And I'm starting to think that all this fujoshi hate is stemming from some sort of misplaced envious resentment of never experiencing intimate interaction with a fellow male. I mean, these characters aren't even that hot. They look like standard anime guys. But they're friends? They interact with each other? Their relationships are an important aspect of the story? Garbage! Fujoshi! Yaoi! 1/10! I hate it! Honestly, I'm starting to get that vibe. Anyway, I've been meaning to read this manga, is it any good? And is there any romance involved? |
 |
| it might be nice to watch there is also a baseball anime coming out so there's gonna be a few sports anime's this season |
 |
| SCREAMING AHH!!!! HAIKYUU ghrnigkj3rem,g34grg44g4 thank u jesus |
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)dont hate me cause you aint me( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  |
| Awesome news! I Enjoy reading the manga so I'm really excited for this Anime adaptation :D |

While true, they are in the minority, also at cons and such you see very few fujoshi that are decent like you stated, you get the squealers and the ones that watch anime solely for the shipping opportunities. Most of the ones you mentioned are much more private about things than average. |

There's are some football/soccer anime like Area no Kishi, Giant Killing and many more. This is the first time to see a volleyball anime (Don't mention some very old volleyball anime) |

Red_Keys said: Yes, it's a shounen, but someone posted a survey that proved that the majority of High Kyuu! readers are girls.Isn't this a sports series aimed at guys? On mangafox it always said shounen.. |

| Ah all this sport anime are going to make me do all these sports and eventually I'll pass out. Hot weather why did you just come out dammit anyways totally ptw. And what's wrong with a title having a huge female fanbase? Just because its a shonen it MUST be filled with young boys as a fanbase? lol you guys are the real pussies here not the female fans. |

| Whoa that's great news sport animes are always welcome |
Face_Faith said: Well since we don't know what survey questions there were so it is hard to tell if it only covered people who bought WSJ! or the survey asked people who read the magazine but not actually bought it. (Or to be more exact, those were results which took into consideration the people who bought WSJ! and what series they read; they probably disregarded people who share the magazine etc.) |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Omg! I love Haikyuu! XD Can't wait for the anime! :) |

| I wonder if it's going to save the manga from being canned. Judging by recent ratings, it's leading the WSJ cancellation race. |
| Just when I thought after Ace of Diamond, High Kyuu also needs an adaptation. This is amazing! :D |
| When I saw the title, "must be boink boink anime" hah~ |

OT : it will be animated by I.G. at least it can be considered as a good thing though, will watch.... |

| Didn't find the manga to be worth reading. Maybe the anime could change my mind...? |

| MY BODY IS READY!! What I really like in this manga is the pacing of the story. I hope the anime adapts it well. |
ranzero said: ANN should at least clarify that there are 2 pieces of news here. One was mention of a volleyball anime by someone in Production I.G. which took place quite some time back and the other is the recent leak (from some promotional posters) that High Kyuu!! is getting animated. Of course the link may have been obvious, but the fact remains no studio information has been announced for High Kyuu yet. I find such reporting standard by ANN a bit disappointing to be honest.Candior said: I don't see Production I.G. mentioned, where did you get that info from? http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-09-22/shonen-jump-haikyu-volleyball-manga-gets-tv-anime |

GZTC said: Another sports anime targeted at the fujoshi crowd. Amazed by the usual homophobia crowds. Have you even tried it? Don't go around claiming every sport themed manga/anime to be fujoshi baits, you're very biased. |

| Oh my gosh. You can't imagine how much I've waited for this. Seriously, High Kyuu is one of the best manga ever. I can't wait to see it animated! ^^ |

melina_putri said: I could not see it in the photos I posted in the initial post of this thread, nor the photo in the ANN article. If you have a higher quality photo of the posters that "clearly" says Production I.G. please let me know.Isn't the promotional posters clearly says "Production I.G" below "TV Anime Decided" words? As Shadow-Chan said, it may have it written but it definitely is not "clearly" shown from the pics we have. Even with her highlighting I could not make it out that it says Production I.G. and if ANN has a better quality photo of the poster that really "clearly" shows Production I.G. it should have used that photo in its article instead. So in conclusion my comment about sloppy reporting standard by ANN has not changed. |
