With over 10 billion yen earned, the movie proved Haikyu has fans wrapped around its finger, and Crunchyroll paid heed. After all, the movie was shown in theaters stateside starting May 30th.
As for what the film is about, Haikyu: The Dumpster Battle follows the canon of the anime. We check in on our Karasuno players as they face off with Nekoma High School in an official match at last. The two teams are locked in the Spring Nationals, and our players are determined to show how far their skills have come. Hinata is able to let loose against Kozume after tons of practice matches, and the long-awaited match is oh-so beautiful.
From its animation to its pacing and voice acting, Haikyu: The Dumpster Battle is a vision. The movie has plenty of action, but it balances those highs with comedic asides and emotional flashbacks. When it comes to anime films, Haikyu: The Dumpster Battle is one of this year’s best, and fans are eager to check it out on Crunchyroll this Halloween.
