Haikyu!! is a ongoing sports anime based on Haruichi Furudate’s manga of the same name. Susumu Mitsunaka directed the project, which began airing in the Spring 2014 season, at Production I.G. Takahiro Kishida(Durarara!!) was in charge of character designs for the show, while Taku Kishimoto was in charge of series composition.
Sentai Filmworks describes the show as:
Shoyo Hinata isn’t a large guy, but he’s got huge ambitions. Ever since seeing a small player score in a National Championship, he’s been determined to become the next big thing in High School Volleyball. Unfortunately, the one time he was able to pull enough players together to form a team in junior high, they were completely trashed in their first and only match against a team led by up-and-coming setter Tobio Kageyama. Now, enrolled at the same high school where his idol once played, Shoyo’s finally going to get his shot to join and play with a top team. There’s just one problem: Tobio Kageyama’s also decided to attend the same school, and he’s already considered one of the best players in the game. Can a kid out of nowhere hold his own against the King of the Court? Or could the rivalry and competition actually be the best thing for both of them? Get ready for a knock-down, throw-down, ultimate show-down barrage of volleys, spikes and blocks as Shoyo leaps for the glory and Kageyama aims for the stars in HAIKYU!!
