Haikyuu!!

Haikyuu!! is Production I.G's volleyball sports anime — and the series that definitively proved sports anime could be as dramatic, emotionally resonant, and visually spectacular as any action shonen. Following the first-year partnership of the diminutive but explosively athletic Hinata and the analytical genius setter Kageyama on Karasuno High's volleyball team, Haikyuu builds one of anime's richest ensembles — spreading genuine character development across both Karasuno's members and the opposing teams they face across four seasons. The volleyball matches are rendered with extraordinary kinetic energy and tactical depth, making you understand and feel the weight of every set, spike, and receive. The series is remarkable for treating its antagonists with as much depth and empathy as its protagonists — every rival team has its own compelling story. The theatrical conclusion Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle is a beautiful farewell to one of the finest sports anime ever made.
