It is definitely extraordinary what we got here, the story is typical shonen with a weak main character and his goal to get to the "Nationals"/"Koushien", but what I really want to talk about is the Animation!
Haikyuu!! makes the manga look like crap in comparance with the anime, the animation blew me away, almost every episode was intense and exciting. There were so many times I wanted to scream and cheer them on as they played volleyball. In slow smotion....the sound with the perfect animated movements of the players....they jump....hit the ball.... will they make a point or not? INTENSE! Thats the word for this anime.
I really have to say that Haikyuu!! is my favorite sports anime, and yes I already watched Eyeshield 21, Major, Slam Dunk, Cross Game, KnB, Diamond no Ace.... If there would be a new animation for Slam Dunk on the level of Haikyuu, then Slam Dunk would be my n#1. But for now its Haikyuu!!, it´s not just exciting to watch, there also many comedy scenes to watch out for, the characters are so endearing and unique. It is a typical shonen sports anime, but probably the best out there til this point.
