‘Haikyu!!’ Anime Debuts New Promo

In advance of its spring debut, a new promo has come out for Haikyu!!, which clocks in at thirty seconds and shows off the main cast of the series with brief moments of them engaging in the sport. The manga comes Haruichi Furudate’s series of the same name and will be animated by Production I.G. for the season. The sports series about a group of high school volleyball players began in 2012 and has had its eighth volume of the manga released in October. The series has had a voice comic done previously, but often they shift to a completely different cast when going to the full anime style run. The series will be animated by Production I.G. as it moves from the pages of Shonen Jump to the small screen.

Plot concept: A chance event triggered Shouyou Hinata’s love for volleyball. His club had no members, but somehow persevered and finally made it into its very first and final regular match of middle school, where it was steamrolled by Tobio Kageyama, a superstar player known as “King of the Court.” Vowing revenge, Hinata applied to the Karasuno High School volleyball club…only to come face-to-face with his hated rival, Kageyama! A tale of hot-blooded youth and volleyball from the pen of Haruichi Furudate!!
