I like this anime not only because of the characters, but because Haikyu is one of the more realistic sports anime. At least that's what I thought before this season came out. Now we're almost caught up with the bizarre level of "Kuroko no Basket". In this world, there are now players you can barely beat even 7vs1 and they all look like some misplaced shounen antagonists.
To be honest, the result of this season surprised me a lot, because I expected a different result. But this was also the best moment of this season.
On average, there wasn't much more tension. The first round was quite transparent, the second one not a bit better. The third round was skipped and the tension started to build only at the end of the fourth set.
Shiratorizawa was a strong but inflexible team in terms of team play. And they also lacked character. You could feel what a great opponent they were for the protagonists, but beyond that, there was nothing.
The biggest and strongest point of Haikyu remains - that the opponents and the protagonists deserved the victory equally. Both teams give their best, both exceed their limit and you can see in the eyes and motivations of both teams how much they want to win. I love this aspect of the anime.
