When it comes to anime that focus on the world of sports, Haikyuu has made a name for itself by presenting a story that is fit to bursting with volleyball action. The original manga came to an end in 2020 and the anime adaptation is attempting to catch up as two new films are on the way. Prior to the release of Haikyuu: Decisive Battle At The Garbage Dump, the anime franchise released a staggering number of posters to highlight the last volleyball games of Karasuno High School. 

Haikyuu has created four seasons to follow the exploits of Shoyo Hinata, and while a fifth season wasn't in the cards, the series is aiming to bring things to a close on the silver screen. The first of the pair of final films will arrive in Japan on February 16th next year, though a North American release date has yet to be revealed. The creator of the sports anime franchise, Haruichi Furudate, hasn't hinted at any potential sequels for the series, but a spin-off manga, Haikyu-bu, continues to release new chapters to this day.
