Rumors were already sounding strong that ‘Haikyuu!!’ would have a (highly desired) fifth season. In the end, neither a new season nor OVAs, but the sports anime will return very soon and will put an end to the story directly on the big screen.
Celebrating the tenth anniversary in style
With 45 volumes already closed behind him, the manga of Haruichi Furudate is one of the most successful in recent years, especially if we talk about sports manga. Season 4 of the anime of ‘Haikyuu!!‘ closed in 2020, and since then its fans have been eagerly awaiting the conclusion.
Well, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the anime series, the end will not come in the form of chapters, but as two anime films to be released in theaters under the name ‘Haikyuu!! Final’.
It’s too early to pinpoint a premiere date, but in August 2023 there will be a special event focused on ‘Haikyuu!!’ where (hopefully) more details will be given.
There is still no date or window for its premiere, but it has been seen a very first teaser with some scenes of the final arc of the mangaalthough it seems some plots are going to remain in the pipeline in the anime.
The plot of these films has not been confirmed for sure yet, but it seems that we are headed for the national championship and that certain parts of the story will have to be condensed a lot to fit into two films. Production IG will be responsible for the production of ‘Haikyuu!! Final’although there are no further details about the cast or creative team.
