It is difficult not to compare both series but beyond volleyball and all that has to do with the game itself: teamwork, effort, responsibilities, overcome difficulties, happiness, bitterness/sadness, etc.
These series are very different; I think 2.43 has a bit more “dramatic punch line” especially with the background of Haijima (the setter) and all that surrounds him.
Another thing is that even if I am a haikyuu die fan, I think this series is more “realistic” with the game itself, please don't get me wrong I love the action and tension that haikyuu have, but 2.43 feels a little more natural guess.
The art: in some points, it feels flat 7/10
The sound: the opening and the ending are 10/10 loved it.
If you are looking for an entertaining sport-anime without falling into so much comedy and exaggerated cliches tricks in the game matches, this one is the one and has only 12 chapters.
I'm looking forward to the second season and see the guys in the orange court Tokyo National Championship.
Give it a chance
