Haikyu is planning to follow in the footsteps of its manga by releasing two final films that will bring Shoyo Hinata’s story to a close. The first anime movie of the duo, Haikyu The Dumpster Battle, saw serious success in Japan, and hopes to do the same when it hits the West later this summer. If you’re looking to reserve your seat for the anime movie by Production I.G., tickets are currently available for the movie that marks the beginning of the end of the beloved sports anime story.
While The Dumpster Battle has seen serious success at the box office, bringing in over $60 Million USD in Japan alone, details are few and far between regarding the final film. Those who have read the manga know that Haikyu does its characters justice with its grand finale, so anime fans should prepare themselves for a strong landing when it comes to the anime from Production I.G.
