Review of 2.43: Seiin High School Boys Volleyball Team

I just finished this season, and it was wonderful. As a whole, this anime focuses much more on the characters than the sport. Yes it still has the hype sports bits, but right from the get-go you can tell its going to be more character oriented. I started watching originally because I fell in love with the hype that Haikyuu gave, but quickly realized that while its the same sports anime about the same sport, 2.43 gives a different perspective while telling a similar story. Overall, the animation is a bit lacking compared to Haikyuu, but it makes up for this with a meatier story. WhileHaikyuu was about volleyball, 2.43 is about people.

I really enjoyed this anime, but I can see why some may be bored. The art is decent, the sound isn't anything special (it does its job well, but doesn't stand out), the story's good, the characters are really good; but for some reason, I really enjoyed it. I say give it a shot and if you don't like it even after that, then nothing I can do about that.
