When it comes to sports anime, Haikyuu!! is without a doubt considered the king of the genre.

It's got everything: emotional highs and lows, ambitious teen rivalries, as well as a fast-paced but emotional story from beginning to end. It's what makes Haikyuu!! essential viewing, even if you're not super into sports.

Initially published by Haruichi Furudate in February 2012 as a manga for Weekly Shonen Jump, the manga came to its conclusion eight years later, in 2020.

But even before then, Haikyuu!!'s popularity was immense. Not only was it everywhere, but it was well-loved enough to spawn a multimedia franchise, with the anime series bringing international attention to protagonist Shoyo Hinata's volleyball exploits.

Its bold animation, thrilling cliffhangers and intriguing characters drew plenty of people in. Thankfully, there's plenty to keep you entertained when it comes to Haikyuu!!, what with its four TV seasons, as well as several OVAs and movies.

While it doesn't sound like a lot on paper, it can get confusing if you don't know where to start. Thankfully, we've got the perfect guide to help you watch Haiykuu!! in order.

The OVAs flesh out the main characters, and the movies provide a great accompaniment to the four seasons of the TV series – including the relatively recent Haikyuu!! The Movie: The Dumpster Battle, released back in 2024.
