Haikyu: Decisive Battle At The Garbage Dump Director Teases an Intense Climax
The first of the final two Haikyu movies is aiming to end its runtime with a bang.
Haikyu's manga series might have ended, but the anime adaptation still has two big films to play catch up. Set to release in Japan this month, Haikyu: Decisive Battle At The Garbage Dump is planning to kick off the finale by placing Hinata and his crew in one of their toughest matches to date. In a recent interview, the director of the anime film touted just how big and intense the last scene of the movie will be to prepare for Haikyu's grand finale.
In a new interview with PASH Magazine in Japan, director Susumu Mitsunaka described that the "final play" of the film will be its most intense when it comes to animation. It is also the scene that Mitsunaka spent the most time and effort on. Considering Susumu has worked diligently on the original anime, the director seems like the right creator for the job.

Haikyu's Director Speaks
The director of the film, Susumu Mitsunaka, described the final scene of the movie that the creators are hoping will knock fans out of their seats, "That scene is so intense that even the voice actors during recording asked about what's happening there. I hope to create something impactful. If we can bring it to life in a compelling way, I believe it can become a topic of discussion and resonate with the audiences' hearts."
