After all, Haikyu the Movie: Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump has high expectations. The movie is the first of two slated to bring the anime to a close. It has been four years since Haikyu season four kicked off. You can imagine how anxious fans are to reunite with Haikyu on screen, and they don’t have much longer to wait.
Currently, Haikyu’s new film is slated to launch on February 16th in Japan. No overseas release date has been given for the film, and as for its sequel, Haikyu has kept mum on the topic.
