An Anime Review of 'Haikyuu!! To The Top'
The first half of season four has our crows training, and improving in any way that they can, in any way that they are able to so that they would be able to reach the next level, so that they would be able to make it deep into the nationals and attempt to win it all. I cannot help but feel as if the title for season four is a spoiler as, when they announce To The Top, you would expect them to go all the way. Granted they might end up falling short of the very top and might only reach the finals, however that would go against the shonen trope in many ways. We have them falter in the first attempt, then come back stronger and defy the odds to reach the finals. They would then fight the harder of the teams and make it to the finals. Kuroko no Basket did it, Ace of Diamonds did it (are doing it rather, it has been a while,so they might have done it), and it is a formula that works, which is why it is so prominent in sports anime.
