Review of Haikyu!! To the Top

I love how consistent this show is. Each season is just as good as the last and always presenting something new to engage the audience. I loved the approach this season took regarding Hinata, who finally started to try and master some of the more fundamental skills of volleyball as he saw his fellow first years start to advance past him. His concentration face during the times he was a ball boy was really well designed. Also, I noticed that there were some subtle differences in the character designs in this season compared to the other three. I'm not sure if was a different approachto shading, a difference in the line work, or tweaks to the design of the face, but there was definitely something different this season. And it wasn't necessarily bad, I just noticed something different. Also, the animation throughout this season is spectacular and it continued to show that the people behind this show really care. It contained a myriad of cuts that really impressed me. The animation was a real standout in the new characters that were introduced this season as well.

I also want to mention how absolutely amazing the OST has been for this series. The composers always nail it with each new season and this is no exception. There's this certain guitar solo track that played a couple times as Hinata starts to understand certain moves that really stood out to me. Overall, another solid half-season. I can't wait for the second-half.
