Fans of the anime Haikyu!! have exciting news to celebrate, the team behind the show has confirmed that the much-anticipated timeskip arc will be animated before the series concludes. This announcement was made during a special panel at Anime Expo 2024, featuring Production I.G., WIT Studio, and Signal MD.
Haikyu!! is currently working on a set of movies that will wrap up the anime. The first film, Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle, focuses on the Nationals match between Karasuno and Nekoma. Fans were curious if the next film would continue with Karasuno’s match against Kamomedai, which is the next major event in the story.
During the panel, a fan asked if the timeskip arc would be animated. Through a translator, the panelists teased that “everything will be animated” regarding this part of the story. While they didn’t go into much detail, this hints that the final chapters of Haikyu!! will be fully adapted.
For those who don’t know, the timeskip in Haikyu!! starts after Karasuno’s last match and begins with Chapter 370 of the original manga by Haruichi Furudate. This arc shows what Shoto Hinata and other characters are up to after graduating from Karasuno High School. It’s an important part of the story that fans were hoping to see animated.
Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle hasn’t announced a digital or streaming release yet.
