# Where to Watch Haikyu!!

**Haikyu!! streams on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video, and it's widely considered the gold standard of sports anime, no volleyball interest required. Short, sky-high-jumping Shoyo Hinata joins his high school team only to discover his fiercest middle-school rival is now his setter, and the two have to learn to fly together. It's about the electricity of teamwork, the ache of wanting to be great, and matches so tense and beautifully animated they play like thrillers. Genuinely one of the best-feeling shows anime has to offer.**

## Synopsis

Ever since he watched a pint-sized volleyball ace nicknamed the Little Giant tear up the court on TV, Shoyo Hinata has burned to play the game, undaunted by his own small stature. He finally reaches a real tournament in middle school, only to be crushed by a coldly brilliant setter, Tobio Kageyama, the so-called King of the Court. Vowing to surpass his rival, Hinata enrolls at Karasuno High and joins its once-proud volleyball club, where he discovers that Kageyama is now his teammate. To win, the two of them will have to turn a bitter rivalry into something that actually works on the court.
