| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| OOH. A volleyball anime. Looking forward to this. |
 |
| Rumor has it that it would be a NHK (the public broadcast of Japan) which seems rather fitting in my opinion, but it is only a rumor so far. |

| Found out this manga a few days ago and thought to myself: "this would be a rather pleasant anime to watch". Talk about nice coincidences. |

| Seems interesting. Looking forward to it! |
| Yeah, I'm so happy! I was waiting for this! Kuroko No Basket is going to end soon, WSJ needs to pump up its new promising sports manga... I can't wait *w* (I hope they'll keep the same seiyuu of the Vomic for Shouyou and Tobio...they were perfect!) |

| Cool. It's been o my PTR for a while now... but maybe I'll just watch the anime. |
 |
| I wonder where the idea that every sports anime = fujoshi fanservice came from. |
|
| Doesn't seem like there's anything for fujoshi to squeal at, I'll watch this. |
 |
| haven't watched a volleyball anime before so this might be interesting o.o |
 |
| More sports anime is always fantastic news, especially since it's volleyball and not baseball/football/basketball which seem to be the most common ones these days. Looking forward tot his very much. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I like the manga, so I'm looking forward to this. |

| Sounds like a super standard sports anime story, but volleyball hasn't really been done before as far as I know. |

Personally I doubt it'll reach what Kuroko reached.Yeah, I'm so happy! I was waiting for this! Kuroko No Basket is going to end soon, WSJ needs to pump up its new promising sports manga... I can't wait *w* (I hope they'll keep the same seiyuu of the Vomic for Shouyou and Tobio...they were perfect!) Lol, do you know how was Kuroko doing before getting the anime? Bottom 5 every.single.week. And that situation kept going for a really long time. It's true that an anime adaptation is not enough to keep a manga on the top (just look at Beelzebub now...), but with Kuroko going to end soon they need a sports manga on the magazine. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-04-18/fuji-tv-producer/volleyball-manga-gets-anime As you can see, they didn't decide this yesterday. And at that time Haikyuu was doing very well on rankings... |
| I'm not very fond of the manga... If there were different seiyuu, maybe (ever since I have heard of the vomic I've been more disappointed in this)... But if there's an anime adaption, the drawings should be corrected at times which would make it easier to try to enjoy it... |
| Will be nice to watch some sport anime that isn't just about soccer, basketball, baseball or tennis. Even if it's a normal shonen. Edit: Higashi_no_Kaze said: I hadn't read this before, but I wrote almost the same thing. lolMore sports anime is always fantastic news, especially since it's volleyball and not baseball/football/basketball which seem to be the most common ones these days.

parfaited said: GZTC said: Sports anime are the current fujoshi trend just like idorus are the current otaku obsession. Okay if a sport anime that follows an art style like Slam Dunk or REAL were to be announced would you call it "fujoshi targeted" as well? My guess is probably no. But here we are with young boys and Shounen Jump instead of Inoue Takehiko's works and seinen tags and these kinds of replies come rushing out. Well, more seinen sports anime would be nice, but looks like they must not necessarily be seinen to not be labeled as "fujoshit". Area No Kishi got away from this thing pretty well, and even Diamond No Ace or Yowamushi Pedal (the most recent examples that come to my mind) didn't get "fujoshi labeled" even before they get aired. I don't know, probably it's just as you say... just because it's Shounen Jump? Lol. (Wut, I'm terribly going off topic here) |

| Ah I love Haikyuu!! so excited! |
Higashi_no_Kaze said: More sports anime is always fantastic news, especially since it's volleyball and not baseball/football/basketball which seem to be the most common ones these days. My thoughts exactly. Volleyball being the sport at hand makes it seem pretty interesting. Hopefully it delivers. |

| I knew it xD the next new awesome sports anime! |
| Yes! I love this manga. Production IG too? I'm really excited for this. |
 |
| Awesome, it was about time this gotten an anime adaption. Will watch(: |
| OMG I'M SO FKIN HAPPY! I'M TREMBLING! :') This is my favorite (sport) Manga ever! Amazing news! best news of the year! With production I.G.! It's even better! Am I the only one who thought that KENN sounded to old to be Hinata in the vomic? |
KuriniSep 22, 2013 3:18 PM
| I was thinking of reading the manga sometimes this year but now that it's getting an anime adaptation, I might even do it sooner than later. |
 |
| KENN voice is really fitting as Hinata It will be fun to see Kageyama and Hinata interaction animated Really looking forward to this |
Candior said: It still showed that HQ survived its first 4-5 months, the material for a 1-cour anime series, thanks to its female readers. Jump tried to make HQ appealing for males, as they tried making Nisekoi for girls by a crossover, but as a male reader myself, Nisekyuu!! barely raised my interest in HQ, so I doubt that percentage is that different. That's true again, but I thought it was worth pointing out since the readership has most likely changed. (Or to be more exact, those were results which took into consideration the people who bought WSJ! and what series they read; they probably disregarded people who share the magazine etc.) In the first place, the actual readership and the targetted readership isn't necessarily the same. WSJ! in itself should be a good enough example for this. I don't remember anything in the manga that was intentionally done for female readers (it's been sometime since I last read it, though), but I'm aware of the amount of HQ!! fanarts for and by fujoshi which may indicate a high number of female readers but then again, it often doesn't take much for the mangaka to have them create tons of fanarts... |
| Great news, I like the manga! And it's by Production I.G. <3 Nisekoi and Haikyuu... only Shokugeki no Souma left for me! |
     |
| Yay, volleyball is actualy one of not many sports I enjoy, will gladly watch it. It even has some bishies, totally in :D |
  |
| Saw this one coming a mile away. :D There seems to be a renewal of interest in sports series, and I have no complaints. |
| When will anime about badminton be made? |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| YES! Guess I can stop commenting on how HQ needed an anime every manga sales thread. Oh man, Noya and Tanaka here I come. http://i.imgur.com/swCpn6M.png |

| I think it's a fun anime for fujoshi and sports lovers alike. To be honest, High Kyuu is an anime with a big fujoshi fanbase and is very popular in female parts of fandom, but what does that even matter? All having a fujoshi fanbase means is that characters generally have some good interactions, and some meaningful relationships. Anyone can enjoy it regardless. Anyway, as a big fan of the manga I'm excited to see it get an adaptation. Hope it will be good. |
