Haikyu's anime is coming back for a new movie as the start of the beginning of its end, and the creator behind it all is celebrating the debut of the movie's first trailer with a special new sketch! Haikyu's TV anime wrapped up its fourth season some time ago, and rather than continue with a Season 5, the anime is actually coming back for its final set of projects. There will be two movies adapting major moments from the final arcs of Haruichi Furudate's original Haikyu manga series, and the first of these movies will be releasing next year. 

Haikyu's anime will return for two final movies dubbed the Haikyu! FINAL movie projects, and the first of these films will be adapting the highly anticipated rematch between Karasuno and Nekoma. During a special event for the Haikyu anime the first trailer and promotional materials for the upcoming movie have been revealed, and series creator Haruichi Furudate is celebrating with a special sketch of Shoyo Hinata and Kenma Kozume enjoying the movie. Check it out below.
