So you’re itching to dive into the court and spike your way through Haikyuu, the sports anime that has taken the world by storm. Trust us, you’re not alone.
“This anime is so good that you will binge-watch it without a second thought!”
says Haruichi Furudate, the visionary behind this whirlwind of volleyball madness.
Who’s Serving This Phenomenon?
Haruichi Furudate, that’s who! The creator of Haikyuu has brilliantly captured the essence of volleyball and whipped it into the central plot of the series. Whether you’re a pro player or someone who can’t tell a volleyball from a basketball, you’ll become a Haikyuu aficionado by the end of it.
It’s just that good!
What’s the Hype?
Under the dazzle of spikes and serves, Haikyuu is more than just a sports anime. It’s a gripping story about a young high school student, Hinata Shoyo, who’s got leaps but lacks inches. After finding himself inspired by a player known as “Little Giant,” he sets out to bring his school’s volleyball team back to its glory days.
The Straightforward Way to Binge-Watch
If you’ve been bewildered by other anime watch orders before (we’re looking at you, Monogatari series), Haikyuu will be a breath of fresh air. The series is straightforward with less than 100 episodes in its lineup, making it an ideal weekend binge.
How to Get Your Haikyuu Fix
Given that there are four seasons, several OVAs, and five movies—with more on the way—it’s crucial to approach the series strategically. The following guide will ensure that you enjoy Haikyuu in all its spiking glory.

Where to Stream?
You’re going to want a reliable platform to host your Haikyuu binge sessions. Netflix offers all the seasons but might be restricted in certain regions. Amazon Prime Video is another option but only carries the first two seasons. However, Crunchyroll, being the anime haven that it is, provides all seasons, so you can safely spike your way through the series there.
