KokoroAkechi 10/19/17 1:49:40 AM #166:	5. Haikyuu!! https://myanimelist.net/anime/20583/Haikyuu Haikyuu is a volleyball anime and among the best pure sports shows I've ever seen. The set up is like any other sports show, a kid (Hinata) really likes Volleyball but is incredibly short for the sport. However his motivation to win and an uncanny jumping ability and reflexes gives him a spot on a team where he teams up with Kageyama, a prodigy who seems to know the perfect place to put the ball to get a point, but no one has been able to properly receive his passes... until now. If you've seen like any sports show most of them following similar progressions of like some underdogs trying to beat better teams or a better fighter etc. This is no different. The high school was once a powerhouse but has fallen into obscurity. To get out of it they use the main character duo to rise back to prominence. So like there is not really a way to explain why I like it more than other sports shows or why I think it's better than to... compare it to another popular sports show. I'd say right now the two big sports IPs in anime are Haikyuu and Kuroko no Basket. Obviously I think Haikyuu is a goty caliber show and I think Kuruko is a piece of junk. But why? By far one of the biggest factors is how they handle the actual games and the back and forth. In Kuruko a lot of matches seem meaningless and focus too much on a single player. Haikyuu matches are like operas of a game with different players stepping up to defining roles at different times. The pacing of getting background on these characters is also much faster overall. Haikyuu knows what's important, the matches being great. Speaking of those characters, because more of them get involve in the games there is also more natural banter and development for the entire cast. Not only that but it feels like an actual sport is being played. Kuroko is a superpower show where character play basketball instead of fight crime or something. I really appreciate how balanced the show seems to be overall. It gives side characters back stories and actual development that seems meaningful. It's not just to have it there, because a lot of characters show up again from time to time. Kuroko set up members of the team of miracles as like bosses to be overcome, Kuroko sets their opponents up as rivals, and people they know they can beat... but have to come together has a complete unit to get that job done. The overall animation and art is very strong. It has great editing during the games and the way they present things like the impact of the ball being hit is also superb. Even if you don't really like sports shows this is grade A material. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:888710113] in Kokoro's t...
