Haikyuu!! has been around for a long time. Especially the manga, with more than 400 episodes.
The manga was received well by fans and hence it was a matter of time before an anime adaptation.
It is an outstanding story about sports and a slice of life with a touch of comedy, written and illustrated by Haruichi Furudate and adapted into anime by none other than Production I. G.
