Review of Haikyu!! To the Top

Haikyuu is still as amazing as ever. I was a bit skeptical about this season, mainly because of the change in artstyle, also because the director changed, but looking back I don't really know why. It's Haikyuu. Haikyuu can't be bad. This season retained the Haikyuu spirit. The OST is incredible and not only that, but it is always used at the perfect moment, making the viewer feel hyped or emotional. The character development is exceptional as well, the Karasuno team especially, but others as well are constantly growing and improving, both as players and as people. The sakuga moments are still there and in the 2nd cour ofthis season, the animation will probably be even better because the staff will be more accustomed to the new artstyle, which bothered me for an episode or two, but now I can't really say I prefer the old one, the new one is great as well.

Also, I wanted to address one point - a lot of people liked this season less than the previous ones, mostly because this season focused on training, setup for the matches and character development, but most of these people are just "adrenaline junkies", who only appreciate Haikyuu for its matches. However, without the setup and development, the matches wouldn't matter as much and wouldn't have a big impact on the viewer. But in Haikyuu these setup episodes are very well executed and extremely enjoyable, that's why Haikyuu is the best.

Haikyuu is the most enjoyable show I've ever seen because every aspect is carried out exceptionally. I love it.

10/10
