Hulu isn’t what it used to be when it comes to anime but the service recently picked up the rights to streaming Haikyu!! Karasuno High vs Shiratorizawa Academy, the third season of the franchise. The show has been doing a seven-day delay from the original Japanese broadcast and they currently have the first nine of the ten episodes up for streaming, providing a little more value for anime fans that use the service.
The series comes from manga creator Haruichi Furudate and is directed by Susumu Mitsunaka (Cuticle Detective Inaba, Bunny Drop) with series composition by Taku Kishimoto (Silver Spoon, Tales from Earthsea), character designs by Takahiro Kishida (BTOOOM!, Puella Magi Madoka Magica) and animation production by Production I.G (Ghost Hound, Kuroko’s Basketball).
Sentai Filmworks licensed and released the first season of the series on DVD and Blu-ray.
Plot concept: Ever since Shoyo saw a short-statured volleyball pro dominate in a National Championship, he’s been determined to become the next big thing in High School Volleyball. Unfortunately, he’s barely played the game. The only time he was able to play in junior high, his team was defeated in their first and only match against a team lead by up-and-coming setter Tobio. Now in high school, Shoyo finally has a chance to join a real team. The catch is: he must learn to play on a team with his old nemesis.
