Haikyu!!

 Late to the Haikyu!! party but have I ARRIVED!

I'm absolutely in love with this series. Can't wait to read the manga but for now the anime has been giving me so much happiness.

Even though I had this one on my to-read/to-watch list for quite some time, I was somehow not actively doing anything about it. Heaven knows it has been on my Netflix to watch list for months now.

But then I just started watching it one day and I was hooked. Sadly Netflix only has 2 seasons, so I had to watch the rest on Crunchyroll.

I've just started season 4 and I'm torn between wanting to watch it all at once and trying to slow down and cherish each moment. This is the last season, as far as I am aware. (UPDATE- The series is ongoing!!)

So before I forget (in my excitement) - Haikyu!! is a volleyball comedy anime. 

It's filled with interesting characters, intelligent commentary on life, teamwork and learning, and of course, TONS of volleyball. 

I am the least sports inclined person. But this show had me on the edge watching every bit of movement on the court. I loved that the writer, Haruichi Furudate, did not make storyline so obvious. The viewer is always left nibbling their nails and wondering what the game's outcome is going to be.

This is essentially the story of underdogs. There are many great characters. And it's so amazing to watch the growth and backstory of each one. But Shoyo Hinata's absolute love, enthusiasm and passion for the game has MY eyes sparkling. He is such a charming fellow.

Now let me get back to my anime. Will update later if I remember.
