 ...then you might like
Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru

There is a high chance that if you liked Haikyuu you will like Kaze ga Tsuyoku as well. I'm already loving them both! You can feel the similar vibes coming through. The art styles are very similar so characters like Kageyama from Haikyuu and the main character Kakeru from Kaze look very similar. Also there is something going on with the importance of being "number 10".
So definitely check out one if you have seen the other since they are both Sports genre and by the same studio!
Both are about sports and friendship ,a little bit of comedy . They have different stories behind the main characters and most of the character have high-spirited about sports. And when they face the challenges too. HAIKYUU is more about doesn't give up and keep working on it. A lot of emotional parts too...you will love it by having goosebumps . After watching this, you might have the feeling of wanted to play or try the sport (if you know me ;)
Another great sports anime, that focus more on the characters but have the same feeling as haikyuu
also really similar art/animation to haikyuu
Same music artist, which gives the shows the same vibe musically. Overall similar feel, though. Just an uplifting fun venture from beginners to more experienced in their field. It just has the same vibe as Haikyuu.
Same art style and characters have some similarities as they're from the same studio. However, the difference in the focus in the type of character. Kaze has a Kageyama figure and Sawamura (Daichi) -like captain figure who are the main focus. There is a similar drive by characters to be in the top. Characters get their backstories, development, comic relief. There are rival schools, flaws and growth.
Best of all Kaze is a college anime (FINALLY!) and draws on the incredible experience of competition on that higher level.
So definitely check out one if you have seen the other!
Both animes are created by the same studio and have a similar art style and its 'realisticness'. The teams don't necessarily win, but they grow and become a better version of themselves, especially in terms of camaraderie and teamwork. Of course, Run with the Wind is set in university and members have more personal problems like finances and family, most members being amateurs, unlike Haikyuu where the focus is more on volleyball and competition since the members are already passionate. Both are very inspiring.
If you like either 'Haikyuu!!' or 'Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru', I can almost guarantee you'll enjoy the other. Both are sports anime which have a good balance between the actual sport and character building, as well as humour and angst. Furthermore, both anime have very similar styles of animation if you like either of their aesthetics.
The more you watch of either series, the more attached you'll grow to the characters, which have a wide variety of personalities, some of which you'll find similar between the two anime (e.g. Kageyama and Kakeru). In both anime there is a mix of naturally gifted/genius/seasoned characters and others who

The main characters of both shows are very similar. Both shows are about surpassing one's limits and while Haikyuu!! focuses more on the volleyball itself, Run With The Wind focuses on a lot more of the characters. Both deal with learning to fall in love with the sport.

Both sports anime. Similar animation style as are by same production company. Similar main characters however, two different perspectives on sport. Both inspirational, dramatic at times, good music and feel good shows.

Both are grounded sports anime where the importance is put on the cast and the interactions between them, with the sport serving as a means of telling a very human story. If you enjoyed Haikyuu!! this is basically a more grown up college running version that shares all the core elements that made Haikyuu!! so great.

Plot
* They're both sports animes with a team of multiple main characters, all being boys
* Both series use comedy and slice of life to reduce the intensity
Music
* (the god) Yuuki Hayashi is composing the OST for both series, meaning the music is really similar (and awesome)
Art
* The series is both made by Production I.G.
* Takahiro Chiba is the Chief Animator Director in both animes. Which means they have the same artstyle

This anime brought me back into the same emotions and addiction that I had with Haikyuu! The characters are all relatable and grow as individuals, and as a team. The music is amazing and there are awesome (and familiar) VAs :)
They're two spokon anime, Haikyuu in indeed about volleyball, while Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru is about running.
In each one of them the real protagonist is the team and every single member has his own importance in that; they work so hard to gain what they want and eventually they manage to strengthen their bonds.
We have some comedy and funny scenes, but the main focus is on matches (Haikyuu) and races (Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru).
- Colourful cast of memorable characters who each have their chance to shine and grow as individuals.
- While not branded as a gag anime/manga, both shows having amazing comedic timing and bring laughs every episode.
- Show sheds light on two sports not many would consider entertaining or interesting before watching this show.
- Stoic main characters who learn to acknowledge and lean on others in order to reach their goals.
- Suprisingly intense matches/races.
- Wholesome AF and leaves you wanting to pick up new sports (whether to watch or play).
Ride With The Wind was sadly pretty underrated by the anime community. For years, sports anime have been filled with casts who are high school students or younger. Run With The Wind has a cast comprised of people in college. So then why should you watch this anime if you've watched Haikyuu? Other than the obvious factors as being animated by the same studio, Production I.G and having the same composer, Yuki Hayashi. The 2 are similar in that they are both well-crafted and well-animated shows with decent plot. Seriously, just watch it.

If you like sport shounen like haikyuu, you will also like kaze ga tsuyoku Fuiteiru. Even the art style is similar. Also Kakeru is like the same character as kageyama.
Both anime feature protagonists which are similar in character and their passion of their sport, where Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru brings out more personal drama and focuses more on the connections between the members of the track club.
-Both have similar style of art
-The main characters are really funny
-The mc's relationship is rocky at first but later develops into them becoming really good friends
-Both the main characters are aiming for a large tournament
I strongly urge you to watch it if you liked Haikyuu!! because I loved kaze ga tsuyoku fuiteiru :)
Another sports anime from the same studio, Production IG. Very character driven with a case of loveable and unique characters, with a similar underdog theme. I can't recommend this anime enough.
Lets see, this is basically Haikyu but with running. Yuki Hayashi the composer for the killer OST for Haikyu also composed the music here. Both stories focus on a team that basically starts from nothing, oh and the main character looks a lot like someone from Haikyu. Overall to me it had the same vibe, and at some parts they used the EXACT SAME music. If you liked Haikyu you will definitely like run with the wind and vice versa, it is a overall inspiring sports anime. Oh and I guess it helps that the show references Haikyu to.

Both these anime were created by the same studio and have similar character designs. They are both sports oriented anime that will inspire you to join a sports club. If you like Haikyuu!! you will definitely enjoy this anime.
(INCLUDES BOTH DUB AND SUB)
Both are very character driven shows that have a wide range of very real and like-able characters that all band together to reach a goal in a given sport. Out of all the sports animes I have watched, Run with the Wind has the most similar vibe to Haikyuu. Run with the Wind is funny, angsty and inspiring, just like Haikyuu is. If you watched all of Haikyuu already, consider giving this anime a chance! I promise you'll enjoy it. Bonus: Kakeru, the main character and Kageyama have very similar character design and both have excellent character development
This anime is made by the same studio as haikyuu is, its about running. The characters are funny and lovable, and the story is great! Watch out for a direct reference to Haikyuu in later episodes! I highly recommend this for those of you who are haikyuu superfans like me, you wont be disappointed!
This show is a story of finding passion and joy in an activity the way Haikyuu is. One of the biggest themes is that not everything is about being the best or winning everything, and said theme is narrated well in Run With the Wind.
The narrative is well-paced, touching, and inspiring. The characters are all loveable, and they all have their own unique lives.
Run With the Wind is more serious than Haikyuu!!, but it still has light-hearted moments. It really makes you think about how you're handling life.

it's a sports anime, but if you like the character development in Haikuu, you'll love this. It focuses more on the character development than the running, but it's also a pretty good representation of running.

They are both sports anime where the characters bond and grow closer to each other. Also, the plots are well thought out
It's an amazing sport's anime that has similar aspects with haikyuu!!. The characters are intriguing with their own distinct personality. If you like sport's anime please give this materpiece a shot.
I don't do much sport, but you can sort of see the similarities, where they are both teams starting from the bottom and make there way to the top, assuming you've watched the other seasons of 'Haikyuu!!' as well, you can also kind of compare there desire to not give up.
Run with the wind is just too good to miss.

Both have similar character and art styles. Run with the Wind is a much shorter anime compared to Haikyuu!! but both are brilliant in their own way. Very very similar characters. Haikyuu!! fans are missing out on RWTW, very underrated.
a sport in which characters struggle to achieve victory

Both have similar comedy styles with hilarious character interactions
The 2 anime also manage to explore the characters personalities and psyche in great depth while keeping these elements compact, never overshadowing the sports which are the hearts of the shows but rather complimenting them with even more layers of fascination
Both sports anime- and also a really fun show to watch the bonds between the teammates! I'd say that Run With the Wind is an easier anime to watch, since it has less emphasis on running itself but more towards the concept of character growth. Really nice to see all the characters change, and the ending was a masterpiece in else.

Well both of them are sports anime and the 10/10 ones. Both in "HAIKYUU and "RUN WITH WIND" shows that they want to play more, run more & that's why wining is important not for some kind of trophy's sake.
