At first, it took me a while to actually get into it; I started the first episode a few months ago, dropped it to focus on other anime, and then watched the rest of the first season in about two/three days. Which is rare for me, as it takes me a few weeks to finish a single season that long alone.
Each episode ended with me wanting to continue, to the point where I spent three to four hours a day binge watching.
The characters were so enjoyable and well-rounded, with the somewhat "pervy" character (although he's not that bad compared to the other pervy characters in anime) having realistic personality traits too. I'm talking about Tanaka, who is not only used for comic relief (along with other characters too) but has a genuine reason to be there.
The main character, Hinata, isn't a protagonist that gets pushed to the back of your mind, yet he's not always the main focus, either. Other characters such as Kageyama also get the spotlight, and I think that's incredibly refreshing.
All the charatcers are different; not one of them is the same. The contrast between Hinata and Tsukishima (for example) is extreme, yet it's not uncomfortable to watch.
Also, something I like is that Karasuno's Volleyball team aren't always winning. Volleyball is a very difficult sport to master, and I'm glad the anime doesn't portray it as something easy. Karasuno has it's ups and downs, and it tells us that losing isn't the worst thing in the world. We learn from them and get better in the future, a message that really strikes home for me.
The art style is really unique, too. I love how the character's eyes are portrayed, as you can tell how that certain person is feeling in the moment. The way the characters move and how the ball moves is really fluid and doesn't have any awkward movements or glitches, and I'm incredibly proud of the animation team. They must've spent ages on certain scenes to make them perfect, and I seriously can't wait to watch the rest of the seasons for that alone.
The story-writing is also fluid. Everything makes sense and there's a reason for everything. The comedy, although a little childish at times, never falls flat and makes me sometimes laugh out loud. Yet, when there's a serious scene, you're hooked. You're drawn in, and it just makes me happy to know that there aren't any scenes that bring the rest of the anime down.
Overall, super enjoyable! I really liked this anime, and I can't wait to watch the rest. :)
