Where To Watch: Crunchyroll
Why It Rocks: Haikyu!! is, and I say this without being hyperbolic, the Fullmetal Alchemist of the sports anime genre. For the uninitiated, I basically just said Haikyu!! is the best sports anime, and I mean that. Haikyu!! follows the journey of Shouyou Hinata, a short-stack high schooler as he battles to become a professional volleyball player. Throughout the show, Hinata and his teammates learn to get over their egos and become Karasuno High School’s best volleyball team. Watching Haikyu!! will leave you on the edge of your seat at the clutch saves and competitive spirit of its titular characters. Hell, it might even convince you to take up the sport yourself.
