I’d say this season emulates the intense tone produced by the last few episodes in season 2, my favorites of the entire series. There is less character development overall, but more than enough action to make up for it. Karasuno finds themselves pitted against the powerhouse Shiratorizawa, in a 5 set match no one expects them to win. This is a fair assessment given the truncated 10 episodes compared to the first two seasons of 26 episodes each. Haikyuu's third season could almost be viewed as an expansion pack to the main series, or as one reviewer put it, much like DLC for your favorite video game.
Anime should be fun, and Haikyuu is no exception to that. It transports us somewhere exciting, somewhere we normally don’t experience ourselves. because at the end of the day, most of us watch anime as a means to escape the repetition of everyday life and just enjoy ourselves. How it makes you feel is just as important. But I've come to realize that the quality of an anime goes beyond how it makes you think. If you told me a couple of years ago that an anime franchise involving high school sports would become one of my favorites in the medium, I probably would've laughed in your face.
