"Haikyuu!!" tells the story of a volleyball team that once was a respected power but now is only belittled by its opponents. When two new and very dedicated students arrive, a new time seems to begin, promising long lost glory.
The first few episodes are hard. I don't know how often they mention that Hinata is small but very fast but it almost makes you angry. The beginning totally lacks to connect other characters into the story to really keep you interested in their way. Strangely enough, this is exactly what happens in the later episods, which is why I was really looking forward to every episode then. I don't know if this is meant to be or if the producers just noticed their own problems but it is one of the rare examples where a show gets better and better over time (so far). Of course the plot is rather limited and I would not want seven seasons of this show but I think that if they stop after three or four seasons this could be remembered as a great show.
All in all you need some time to really invest into the characters but if you give yourself this time there is a fair chance that you will stay hooked.
