Haikyuu!!

Excellent characters incomparable to other anime or other tv series for that matter. You connect with each one in a deep way that and you just want to be rooting for all of them, even the opponents. PS I've learned a lot about volleyball also thanks to this and it just makes me want to play!

Wow. I really did not expect to fall down the rabbit hole that is Haikyuu!! I thought that the art style isn't one that I usually gravitate to but I was quickly won over by the story and characters. I loved all of the characters and their relationships and friendships with each other and it was inspiring to see the underdog climb to the top, that even though it seems as if one is disadvantaged, they can still succeed through sheer willpower and by working together with like-minded passionate people. Honestly, watching this made me regret not taking volleyball seriously during PE in high school.

This is my first ever anime series and I'm happy I got to catch up on this gem of a show! Though I hardly play sports nowadays but it revived my interest in athletics. It has all the emotions, great story and likable characters. It shows how to have passion for something you love and how it can take you to great heights! It's all about doing what you love and have a burning desire to excel in it.

It inspired me that failure can be a stepping stone to success, importance of teamwork, believing in your abilities and ignoring your imperfections at the same time.

PS Eagerly waiting for another season!

Can I just say that I freaking LOVE Haikyu.

The show itself is pretty simple. It follows the adventures of a boys' high school volleyball team, and it is a bit overdramatic at times, but it's so much fun!! It's hilarious, the characters are so easy to fall in love with, there's no constant peril or evil overlord or magical powers, it's just volleyball. It sounds pretty boring and stupid at first, but trust me, watch the first episode. You'll be blown away.

The production quality is super as well. They never get lazy with the animation. The funny bits are perfectly worked into the show without ruining the intense bits. Every single episode is completely and totally worth it.

I just don't really have much else to say. It's an amazing show all around.

Had doubts watching this because I wasn't that much into voleyball but man oh man it's so entertaining now I am totally into it. You would like every character in this series even antagonists are hella nice, certainly a show to watch for sports lovers.
