Nevertheless, as time has elapsed, the unveiling of trailers and other release details for the Haikyuu!! Final films has resulted in a significant improvement in fan perception of the movie. Regardless, fans are now only three months away from being able to make their ultimate judgment on the series, with the hope of an international release shortly thereafter.

The latest

The Haikyuu!! Final films are the concluding part of the franchise's TV anime series, with the original anime's main staff, including animation studio Production I.G and director/writer Susumu Mitsunaka from the first and third seasons, remaining on board for the films.

The first film will showcase the pivotal showdown between the long-standing rivals Karasuno High and Nekoma High. The film is titled Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump, a nod to the legendary battles between the two schools in their former glory days, as depicted in the TV anime series.

Release details for the second film are currently unclear, as all available information relates only to the first film, which is set to be released soon. However, considering the gap between the anime's fourth season and the release of this first film, fans can hope for the second film to hit Japanese theaters no earlier than late 2026. More exciting news about the first film is expected to be unveiled at Shueisha's Jump Festa 2024 event.

Furudate initially debuted his original manga series in 2011, within the pages of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Starting in February 2012, the series achieved a regular serialization in the magazine, reaching its conclusion in July 2020 after a total of 402 chapters, subsequently compiled into 45 volumes. Viz Media, both digitally and in print, published the English version of the manga, alongside the digital release of the English-translated manga chapters on a weekly basis, concurrent with the Japanese weekly release. It is highly recommended to stay updated on all the latest news regarding anime, manga, films, and live-action adaptations throughout 2023.
