Diamond no Ace vs Haikyuu
First, ill give my opinion (Hajime no Ippo is the GOAT) -- Anyway
Diamond no Ace is by far more realistic, and i would argue the creator is more knowledgeable on the sport itself.
Diamond no Ace has slower pacing, and often it can have a borderline One Piece effect where scenes take too long or there is very minimal animation. But the previous season of haikyuu (animation wise) set the stage for the severe disappointment i felt watching BL s2, besides the final episode (they need to budget correctly for s3)
All in all, haikyuu hits home more for me, i played volleyball and the progression of haikyuu is beautiful.
But i would be lying through my teeth if i didnt say Diamond no Ace was better.
Character dev, world building, rivalries, suspense. DNA takes the cake
But, in crucial the moments, and hard hitting scenes, haikyuu has more punch. Tsukis block, Oikawa's missed recieve, The ball hitting the court in the reflection of Kita's eyes, Tanaka climbing the mountain. These scenes are BURNED into my memory.
What do you think? Is Haikyuu better? Or does Diamond no Ace have the edge?
