Haikyuu!! is built from a familiar template, but its characters, emotion and storytelling show why the formula works. I had a blast. - Nihon Review

For being that team-focused, Haikyuu really spends lots of its time for the viewer to get to know the team, and handles its characters with great care, even though the plot is by no means unique. It has great animation, a fitting sound and a wonderful voice cast. If you are debating whether or not to watch this, then don’t hesitate and start Haikyuu. You won’t regret it. - MyAnimeList (lovelyz)
