Its actually wayyyy better than Haikyuu!
The characters and their development are realistic and games are not boring at all.
In haikyuu it felt like im watching same episode over and over while they were playing.
Authors and animators did a great work. You can see the animation of speed has improved and the sound is amazing.
not to mention - hot athlete bodies ;)) Real grown up men.
I feel like this should be way more popular. It's also fun to see how you can combine work strategies with sport. I feel like many sport animes are more school - kids related.
Here you can see how adults deal with it.
