Haikyuu Second Season!

It's basically a mirror image of the first season, except that the characters are more experienced now and the amount of character drama has been minimally reduced.

Otherwise, everything is immensely identical. You have training battles, over half the season. Then the tournament starts, they fight some started teams and you can see how they both long for victory, but we know who wins. And then comes the battle of the rivals from the first season and so it ends.

Basically, Haikyuu is a sports anime that couldn't be simpler and keeps repeating its sequence of "Training > Training > Tournament" along the way you'll see many amusing scenes or confrontations between hot-headed characters.

What makes Haikyuu so special is neither the plot nor the action. But that each character is given at least a "little" personality, making you feel the will of each character. And when you combine this with immensely intense games where you don't know who's going to score, it creates an almost perfect tension.
Of course, not over the entire course of the matches, but only towards the last 3-4 minutes.

[Characters 6]

Most of the characters are still just running gags with their "rolling thunder" or other strange traits or techniques. Who otherwise have hardly any character. And the same goes for the protagonist Hinata. Even though his will is great, it's hard to say that you feel anything with him. Usually, it's the other characters on his team that win over the viewer.

[Animations 7]

Most of the time very impressive animations are presented to us in a very explosive and detailed way. This is usually only the case when a game reaches its "climax". Otherwise, the animations are simply above average.

[Music 6]

Relatively mediocre outro and intro. But for that, very successful osts, which give the games all the more atmosphere.


[Conclusion]

An impressive anime that tempts me to keep watching, unless it's training episodes. Since half of the anime insists on this and they are very monotonous, unfortunately, little can be said about this. However, as soon as the anime gets going, then the house burns down.

[Enjoyment 7]

This season and the exciting events and efforts to make up for the mistakes they made in losing last season were really interesting and breathtaking. This anime is really amazing and a masterpiece in its own kind.

So Entertaining!

I absolutely loved the Pre-Spring Interhigh tournament as we got to see new characters and new techniques and tricks that Karasuno experienced and learnt for their own advantages. Once again it had loads of funny scenes during that tournament but once it got to the real tournament it was very tense and stressful and I am so proud of them making it to the finals. Overall: Exciting!

The amine really urged me into watching the whole season in 1 day! I literally love the character devolpment, it zooms into each characters strengths and weaknesses which makes them all want to become stronger! This anime really encouraged me to never give up, even when you are feeling down or upset.
