So good! I loved that the principal was waving his toupee in celebration!
 Not just because it was funny, but because it was a nice link full circle back to the beginning of the whole series.

A friend of mine is suggesting Haikyu!! to me and he seemed really impressed. I personally am not a huge fan of sports anime that I have tried in the past but this one, in particular, is receiving a lot of praise.

Not the correct forum for this question.
Haikyuu is good. I don't know about other sports stories because they're not my preferred genre/type. Watch the first two episodes and you should know if you'll enjoy it or not. |

My rule on popular series with enthusiastic followings: let me take a look at why all these people are so hype over this thing. Then apply the 3 episode rule. Which should actually be the 3 or 4 episode rule, bcuz it's 99% true that the initial conflict for the story, the "twist," won't get revealed till ep 3 - or 4.
I'd say a good 40% of my watch history (1125+series) is thanks to enthusiastic recommendations from fans of those works. |

Episode 13 (finale)
So this is kind of the finale of the first half of To the Top, we have a touch on Tanaka's history with a girl, and how she came into herself, and got started in their bad start at against a top team. I will honestly say that it felt like it only just started getting good. I don't like a good portion of this season, unless my tastes changed since I last watched the series, I think that all the practice things, starting with the different practice groups that essentially separated characters out, was just kind of boring. Haikyuu always made me feel excited, but for whatever reason this season just felt like a drag down from where I think the show last left where they totally felt like they were ready to challenge the strongest teams. I was kind of used to crazy new teams, that on first interaction might feel obnoxious, end up feeling relatable and interesting as it went on, but I don't know I did not feel too much. Just did not feel the kinetic energy of Hinata and lot when Hinata was forced into ball fetcher, and the majority of team development felt distant. My rating is Decent, I ended up putting other shows higher on my to watch list so I might not feel so disappointed with this one. But I am maybe only being so harsh because I really love this series. I hope the next season captivates me. |

Haikyuu To The Top (seasons 4 and 5) Episode 25 (actual season finale)
A lot of my comments are similar to before, I don't have a lot of the passion for it that I did before. This entire second half of To the Top was also pretty much a single match, which kind of feels exhausting in a way. Episode 24 was pretty awesome when they got to the real climax of the match, but this single match had gone on so long that I could feel something like an artificial pull to have to get myself excited for this. One of my other main joy of the series were the bunch of strange new personalities, but really did not work for me this time, it just kind of had me checking out at times. My rating for the second half will probably be the same as the first, Decent (6/10). I am not disliking my time, I just wish I could feel more excited and interested. Also feels like characters like the managers barely appear anymore, especially not in speaking roles, like their role has been taken over by other characters. |

The finale of the first season is not believable: spoiler[no way a new team would go so theatrical over a loss to a leading team].
The second season has basic physiology/medicine wrong: spoiler[if somebody gets head-banged so bad that he loses a tooth, he does not get to play the same day, or even the next day sometimes. Gum bone gets destroyed in that place, so the bleeding is pretty abundant to a point that it requires stitching to stop it. And even despite that the bleeding can restart and require another hospitalisation for more stitching/procedures still. So it is too risky to allow the patient to play even after the first stitching. ] A potential drawback of the story is that none of the main heroes are friends of each other. At best, they are team mates or even outright competitors. This is not how things go as in real life some people certainly become real friends, not just keep being aloof, snarky and “cool” between each other. This aspect in not explores in the story. A minor technical/stylistic annoyance is that faces pop up through the net on the court, which is distracting, let alone making zero sense. Also since season four, the quality of the drawings/animation sometime suffers. Otherwise, this is a very good, though typical and predictable sports/tournament show. Its best part is not the cliche, but the comical antics, characters, and jokes. OF COURSE, it is not realistic in terms of what short players can do (not much, in actuality) or some magical skills, but it is way less laughably ridiculous compared to something like Kuroko’s Basketball anime. |
