Haikyuu

I have been having a huge sport anime obsession of lately. The entire idea and concept is amazing. I originally thought it was stupid but this show has made me realize how truly amazing these types of anime are.


Haikyuu is a volleyball anime, that focuses on the different goals and fears of each individual player. In the beginning, you are introduced to Hinata and Tobio. The anime started with these two player volleyball against each other, on separate teams. Hinata had one goal during that game, to keep playing. While on the other hand Tobio wanted to win. The game finished with Tobio's team winning. At that moment Hinata swears that he'll beat Tobio.

They each go to high school to join their own respective team. However, they find themselves going to the same school. The two end up settling their differences and started to work together. They figure out that the only person who is able to utilize each others powers, are each other.That made them an amazing pair. However they also soon faced challenges that made it hard for them, they come to the realization that they can't win on their own. 

Throughout the series, we see a variation through the back-stories of each character. Each back-stories shows each characters fears, such as Hinata's fear of not being good enough to keep on playing.

As you watch through the series you see lots of emotion, with each characters. You learn to feel sympathy and a connection with each character. 

I recommend anyone who's into anime to watch it. The series will make you fall in love with sports anime.
