Synopsis:
Hinata Shouyou gained a sudden new love for volleyball after watching the "Small Giant" play as Karasuno High School's ace. Despite not having even a place to practice, he does his best as the only member of his middle school's men's volleyball club. At last, in his last year of middle school, he gathers enough first years to participate in a competition. However, his time on the court is cut short, as his team encounters Kirisaki Daiichi's "King of the Court", Kageyama Tobio. Despite leaving an impression on Kageyama due to his incredible reflexes, speed, and jumping ability, Hinata and his team are defeated. Hinata vows to one day defeat Kageyama, but as he joins the volleyball club of his new dream high school, Karasuno, he realizes that he and Kageyama have to work together as team mates!
My Review:
I really enjoyed this. O_O If you don't know yet, right now, Haikyuu!! is really popular among girls. Hahaha yeees, it's because of Hinata and Kageyama. But, onto the review.
What I like about it would be... its comedy, the cool techniques(that are more realistic than usual, but still freaking awesome), and the feels. The characters are also so freaking cute. They just really make you laugh at them and with them, but it's also so very touching and heart-warming.
I also learned more about volleyball through this. Well, that goes for every sports anime. But aside from learning more, I also learned to enjoy it more! I used to hate volleyball, but after this, I was actually able to enjoy it more. Well, that doesn't mean I'm good at it. I still suck. XD But hey, it's better to suck at it and enjoy than to suck at it and not enjoy, right?
Also, I don't know if it's just me, but the art is a bit different. It's not different in a good or bad way, just... different... different from normal. Unique, I guess. It may take a while to get used to, but it's alright in the end.
Other Information:
Haikyuu!! has a bunch of abbreviations, like "High Kyuu!!" or "HQ!!" and stuff. They're shortcuts, but I prefer the original, "Haikyuu!!".
Hinata and Kageyama and Nishinoya are so cute!
My Favorite Quotes:
"I'll jump anywhere! I'll hit any ball! So... bring the toss to me!" (Hinata Shouyou, to Kageyama Tobio)
"Even if the ball bonces off the wall... I'll keep it in play. That's why... That's why, call for a toss once more, ace!!" (Nishinoya Yuu, to Azumane Asahi)
"So as long as I'm here, you will be the strongest!" (Kageyama Tobio, to Hinata Shouyou)
"Alright! There's nothing to worry about! Everyone, just keep looking to your front, because you have me guarding your backs!" (Nishinoya Yuu, to the Karasuno team)
"You guys, don't get scared! If we fall, fall forward!" (Nishinoya Yuu, to the Karasuno team)
