Why Haikyuu Is The Best Anime?
What makes Haikyuu stand out from many others is that it's not the story of one character growing and eventually becoming the best at the sport , but how a team is helping each grow to make themselves better overall. The series follows the boys' volleyball team of Karasuno High School, a school that used to be a big name school for the sport thanks to the exploits of the legendary player, «Tiny Giant,» but no longer has the same shine. Like volleyball itself, the series isn't about any single one character. There's an extra layer of intensity for each character, and that's not even including the opponents.
The animation in this series is by far one of the best in any sports anime and continuously impresses fans of the series and draws in new fans. The animation is extremely fluid and makes the volleyball players seem almost realistic in terms of their running and jumping.
The action sequences are highly anticipated due to this as each match is different and exciting. The animation can basically make viewers feel each impact of the ball against their own hands.
9 Fell Short: No Superpowers
This isn't an actual problem with Haikyuu!! at all, but many fans of the genre find the "superpower" element of sports anime to be extremely fun.
In Kuroko no Basket, another wildly popular sports anime, each of the main characters has a special skill in basketball that ends up becoming more and more like a superpower with special moves. This element of superpowers makes the series feel more like shonen than slice of life anime, which Haikyuu!! seems to fall into more.
The characters in this series are absolutely fantastic and have a ton of depth. This story doesn't just focus on Hinata, it dives into each of the characters' lives as they each become closer as a team. Even the background characters who rarely play end up becoming really important. This show also excels in showcasing characters from different teams and the struggles they go through while playing the game.
There have been entire mini-arcs that focus on a match between two teams that aren't Karasuno. These other characters are shown so much, that characters from other teams are easily listed as favorite characters by fans.
