    Every episode of this anime is perfect.

    This is anime leaves me speechless, seriously. It's just so brilliantly done. Some episodes pass by really quickly because you enjoy them that much and some episode feel twice as long because of the shows brilliant pacing. This anime has brilliant comedy, I swear I've laughed so many times. I've also cried too. If this anime was more popular I swear it has the quality to be a top anime. Imagine an Anime that makes you laugh when you're sad and makes you cheerful when you're bored, just imagine an anime that makes reading this review totally worth every word. If you decide not to watch this show then you are seriously missing out. This is the only show I would call perfect. 10/10

    Best in Character Development!

    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!

    Blew me away!

    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!

    REALLY GOOD AND IT GOT ME HOOKED

    Haiykuu is by farrrr the best sport anime and I say that without a doubt. This show is easy to get into (I mean- it got me hooked from the first 5 mins!!). The characters are amazing and interesting. The matches are so exciting and got me on the edge of my seat. And yet this show is soooo simple. It's brilliant. Its the fattest recommendation I can give you!

    Inspiring!

    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.
