my all time favorite anime at the moment is Haikyuu. The overall plot and character development is very good indeed. At the beginning the characters are trash. But the improve over time and it shows. Haikyuu is a volleyball anime that is told from the perspective of Shoyo Hinata. In middle school he sees a powerhouse school, Karasuno, on TV and the player, nicknamed The Tiny Giant, inspires him to play volleyball. His middle school team is very scrawny but Hinata has amazing jump power. He goes against an elite middle school, Kitagawa First. There he meets his mortal enemy, Tobio Kageyama.
Kageyama is the setter of Kita and was given the nickname, The King of the Court, and not for the reason you think. Kageyama is obsessed with the perfect spike/set. He wants a fast quick attack, so his sets are super fast and firm. However none of his teammates are fast enough to catch up with Kageyama’s sets. Hinata’s team only consists of 6 players, normally a team would have 12, 6 on the court, 6 on the bench(*ahem* bench warmers) But as long as you have 6 players you qualify.
Hinata’s team consists of people who were forced on the team by him, his friend that plays soccer agreed to join as well has a friend from basketball. There are 3 first years on his team but, like I said, pretty short and scrawny. Spoiler Alert! Hinata’s team loses. Surprise surprise. Thus ending Hinata’s first and last official game in middle school.
Time skip to high school, Hinata obviously chose Karasuno High, however since Hinata saw the Tiny Giant on TV, Karasuno isn’t considered a powerhouse school anymore. As Hinata walks through the gym door, SURPRISE, he sees a tall boy practicing his serves, powerful ones too. His name? Tobio Kageyama.
Im not saying anything else since you watching it would be better.
