| From what I've seen, every absolutely LOVES Haikyuu. It has an "amazing and emotional storyline". All I see is an average, overrated cliche storyline with yaoi fanservice. I'm not gonna lie, the characters are pretty cute and likeable. I just want someone to tell me why it's so overrated. |
| because people like their gay shippings that much |
| no |
| Well most of the viewers are girls |
  |
| where's this "yaoi fanservice" you're speaking of |
 |
| Lol what yaoi fanservice? |
| It is very enjoyable especially when Sensei-san explain or asks how does things works or how is a player doing such cool moves, much exciting |
| Because homosexual volleyball is God's gift to mankind Also Oikawa is mai waifu |

| probably because of the characters of course the storyline for this anime seems like a cliche there are lots of limitations because most of the events that happen,happen in most of the genre but the focus of character drama this series has really sets it apart |
| i personally watch it because it's entertaining, simple as that. it's fun to watch because it's a sports anime so everything is much more hyped up |

| Sup... |
| It's just a simple story and has nice animation. It's baby's first sports anime in a lot of cases. Yes it's cliche and very overrated but lots of overrated anime get a huge following of fans who love it blindly. And yeah a lot of fandom is made up of rabid fangirls obsessed with Oikawa or whoever and they stick around just for their fav boy. I've seen lots of people say this is the only sports anime they've seen so they think it's something special. The character development is nothing special, sympathetic rivals are not new, it's brand of humor is childish (but some people like that). I'd say the only thing that makes haikyuu unique from most shonen/sports anime that it doesn't have any fanservice whatsoever neither for male or female viewers... unless you count boys having nice thighs and Saeko having big boobs as fanservice... it's very vanilla and easily viewable for the general public. It's pretty much 100% pure volleyball and not much else. Not even any SoL breaks in between matches. I can see why volleyball enthusiasts would like this anime but I think people care more about characters than anything else. Maybe they find them endearing. I read the haikyuu manga just cause I read most shonen jump but I never found it to be anything special so far. |

| great characters, refreshing storyline, lots of character development, likeable characters, great seiyuu cast, great music, great animations. i've seen most of sports anime so haikyu definitely isn't my first one but it's actually better than many older series. i rate it as a 9/10. i usually give sports anime a 7 or 8, if that says anything. |
| yeah what you said it's probably because they think the characters are funny for me i wasn't emotionally attached at all and found it insanely dull and while some of the characters get developed since the characters are very archetypal it makes their character development very predictable and mind numbingly boring. |
| Everything is just so refreshing, probably the best jump series for me. But sometimes i see Haikyuu is so overrated (expecially in tumblr, im a tumblr user and seeing Haikyuu everywhere in my timeline makes me sick and bored). |
| 'Cause it's good, unexpecting, dynamic, and full of volleyball hacks. And the body motions/animation are amazing. Entertaining while didactic. Let people enjoy whatever they like. |

| Even teams that are only in for a few episodes get some pretty good character development and makes you feel for them. It's got some great animation in it and the art style is really interesting. Also has pretty much no yaoi in it so idk what you're talking about on that point |
 |
| Because Haikyuu is love |
| Cuz its exemplary of what the sports genre should be: Exciting but not over the top w/ likeable characters. If you think it's cliche because the context is a bunch of high school kids wanting to win a championship, you've pretty much generalised the entire anime sports genre. Also it's obvious from your profile that you like edgy stuff and shows which mash a huge range of genres together -> none of which are in haikyuu (besides a bit of comedy). So perhaps it's just not your type of show then hey :P |

| shonen jump manga always popular |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| No one summoned me? But either way: Intense matches, Likable characters and you of course need a favorite in these kind of anime (mine is oikawa, that's why I wanted Tobio-chan but already taken..) And a good storyline with a lot of GOOD comedy |
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. | You know what I hate the most? People who aren't free. They're no more than cattle. |
| personally... because of kei tsukishima and yamaguchi |
| I have had thoughts of watching it since it gets great ratings, though I dont care for sports anime. Is this just fan service for girls or is it pretty good? |

There's not really any fanserive, yaoi or otherwise. I think it's good, but I personally like the sports anime genre so the only way to know if you'd like it is to try it out. |

Ayelise said: how dare people like something you don't that's not what i meant :/ i'm just saying it seems pretty overrated for what it is jfc |
| Not everyone likes it. It's just the people who are willing to stick with this anime for 3 seasons that likes it (and it's not hated enough to get people to rate 1s). |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| bruh, there's no yaoi fanservice at all |
| ....How the F.. Did anyone get Yaoi from this show. I feel you may have some underdeveloped feelings you need to address if you think this. |
 |
| ... Where did you even get the yaoi undertones 'cause I do not remember any scenes like this? :DD |
 |
| People are mistaken about the yaoi fanservice, but the cute boys with cute interaction appeals a lot to the fujoshi, let's not pretend the fujoshi don't think about CharacterAxCharacterB when they see them interacting. I've seen people praise the animation, but while the actual animation/frame rate was pretty good, I hate this type of animation, and the same problem occurs for Kuroko no Basket, that, when they're using a 'special move' or some sort, the scene would pause and get dragged on for a while to emphasize on the 'special move', which annoyed me a lot. For example: when Hinata goes up for the spike, that's when Kageyama coordinates with Hinata and sends the ball to where Hinata is gonna swing his arm at, the animation of Hinata jumping is too quick, and as a result, Hinata has to hang on the air for a while, and when Kageyama send the ball over, the ball would travel really fast, result in poor coordination of Hinata's movement and the ball's movement. It's very rigid. Kuroko no Basket example: I've always referred to this when I am talking about good body movement: Although the animation (frame rate) was not ideal, the movement (0:56 - 1:10) looked so smooth, so real, no 'real time' lag or anything, and I suppose it's no surprise that it is supposedly rotoscoped. I haven't watch the second season yet, but another thing I don't like, which I've already repeated myself well enough, is the comedy mid game, they tried to be (cheesy) inspiring while forcing some jokes down my throat, it just doesn't work, it's mid game for Christ's sake and the opposing team was just doing nothing (off screen, surprise surprise) while the main group does their comedy skit, MID GAME. Well aside from that, there's a lot to like about the series, whilst cliche. The comedy outside of the game was good, the characters are decent except for the really cliche character development and character dynamic, and sometimes the character dynamic just feel really awkward, like there's no chemistry among themselves.. I agree though it's closer to average than a masterpiece (based on the first season) |

There's really not much ways to make a sports anime Non-cliche unless *cough* you add superhuman powers like Kuroko No Basket. I personally think it's accidental overrated where theres ppl who have never seen sports anime in the past and decide to try Haikyuu as they're first because it's new I guess and is about volleyball which is unique compared to those loads of baseball and soccer anime. |
| Because it is a very good sports Animu series . but there are many people who still do not know about it. |
| One of the funniest shows I've watched, love the characters, very realistic gameplay. But because it's realistic, I can see why people don't like it. Season 2 was sorta shit, though. |
  behind these hills i'm reaching for the heights  |
| Ok here is the deal, Haikyuu is not like your average sports anime. It's refreshing, has great characters and most of them get pretty deep development. None of them are forgettable. The animation isn't like Kuroko or Free, it's unique in it's own way and the soundtracks are great. And somehow they explain everything so well that it's easy to get the hang of what is happening in the match, even for non Volleyball fans. The matches are also very intresting! |
 |
Ayelise said: I know. How come this is allowed.how dare people like something you don't As for the yaio crap the OP stated, there hasn't been any, nor were there any implications of it. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| LOL it's one of a few shows I've watched with little to almost zero fan service, let alone containing Yaoi. Haikyuu is simply likeable because it's an emotionally intriguing and well-written series. Get your facts straight people. |

I'm not gonna lie, the characters are pretty cute and likeable. I just want someone to tell me why it's so overrated. I have it rated 7-8 most of the time, but I'll try to explain, since even I often think it deserves better rating than what I give it. Characters are incredibly fun and, more importantly, engaging enough so a person would cheer for them. There are no douches, there are no clumsy, stupid idiots that annoy you (Hinata had a few instances in the beginning, but it was never overused). They are all likeable, it's fun seeing them learn, it's fun seeing their banter, it's fun seeing them compete against each others while being best friends at the same time. Story: Yes, overused is definitely nice description. However, here's the thing with Haikyuu, also Kuroko, their opponents are interesting, strong and, hell, likeable as well. There were many that loved KnB GoM characters better than Seirin players, myself included. Haikyuu follows the same pattern, their opponents get character development, although it's small, it's enough so they're not just animations in background, you get their names, their motivations, their characteristics. And that's fun. Then you get to see the clash of protagonists and opponents, you know a lot about both, you like both, add in some "super-moves" for flashy effects, impossible to pull stunts for shock factor and voila, it's a winner. Do I think it's top 10 quality anime? Hell no. Is it great? Fuck yeah. |
| It's funny, almost all of the characters are likeable, the matches are exciting. I can think of plenty of reasons. |
| What exactly is average about this anyway? The execution alone (visuals, music etc) make it stand above plenty of other anime and it's one of the most important things for sports anime IMO |
