Volleyball anime have been around for decades though, and each one offers its own unique twist to the classic storyline. Here are the best volleyball anime, ranked from least to best.
8. Shojo Fight!
High school student Neri Ooishi would rather become the best volleyball player alive than make friends or go to the mall. She was a star player in elementary school, taking her team to great heights, but with a new school, new teammates, and a large secret, Neri has a lot of work cut out for her. Shojo Fight! is a fast-paced anime that wraps up its storyline in just half an hour, but still offers enough to keep you enthralled throughout.
