How to watch Haikyu!! in chronological order

The Original Video Animations are included within the main series as special episodes. As for the four movies, they mostly serve as fillers and aren’t necessary to the main storyline. But still, the movies are entertaining enough to add a break to the show’s otherwise-intense sports action. The specials and movies follow the same order as their release date.
The series covers the efforts of protagonist Shoyo Hinata to follow the footsteps of Japan’s premier volleyball champion, the one known as the Little Giant. As he and the other students at Karasuno High School struggle to reach the top, Shoyo faces opponents like the competitive middle-schooler Tobio Kageyama. If you like sports anime and shounen anime, Haikyu!! is a must-watch.
