STORY: 8
It follows a pretty basic plot, but long story short: his rival, Kageyama, becomes his teammate. It’ll expand from that Hinata and Kageyama to learning about the rest of the team as well, watching them compete in matches against other schools, etc. and it’ll keep you always wanting more.
CHARACTER: 10
The development of Hinata and Kageyama’s relationship is amazing, I loved every second of it. I loved Hinata’s determinations, Kageyama learning to work with his team, Asahi overcoming his fear of letting his team down, etc. I adored every single member of the team, each of them had their own personality and quirks, and the way they interact with each other feels very real and you’re constantly rooting for them as they work together.
SOUND: 9
Both openings are super catchy, I found myself humming it even when I was just doing schoolwork haha. The voice actors fit perfectly to the characters they were portraying! I didn’t really notice many problems with the sound, but I’m no expert in this criteria.
ART: 8
Some people hate the way characters are drawn, but I actually loved the way characters were drawn! But even if you hate it at first, it’ll probably grow on you so it’s not too big of a concern. Each of the characters have an almost more realistic look to them. The animation during games/matches are great. Solid animations!
ENJOYMENT: 10
I loved every second of this anime, and when i wasn’t watching it, it was all that was on my mind!
Conclusion:
If you are still hesitant on this anime… don’t be. Go watch it right now, and have a blast. I’m begging you, please give this anime a chance, you won’t regret it!
