You can kinda see how each time there's a good season of Haikyu the anime steadily rises up the SMFAS ranks as it becomes a good secondary priority.
I'm probably going to count within that group soon after digesting what's currently been shown.
I have a very soft spot for sports anime and manga, or at least series that follow the format.
Even with series I've not really watched to the end like Free!, Yowamushi Pedal, Chihayafuru or Major, I still enjoy well executed matchups.
With a teamsport like Volleyball, Haikyu executes on what I like from these types of series.
Talent applying itself, developing bonds between teammates, coming of age through sports, journey towards achieving one's dream, underdogs taken seriously by powerhouses etc.
I hear future content will come in the form of film, but that just means a nice budget for what appears to be the most important games.

I've also noticed at conventions, young tomboyish girls really like to cosplay as Hinata.
