Haikyuu!! Movie: Battle of the Garbage Dump (Gomisuteba no Kessen) has just aired in Japanese theaters, but it will take some time for the movie to hit the US theater and release its digital versions.
And if you're waiting for the Haikyuu movie just like us, we've got a small list of series that you can watch until then.
There's something special about sports anime with exclamation marks in their titles, huh?
Yuri on Ice follows a Japanese figure skater, Yuri, whose window for success is closing rapidly. However, he's about to be given a second chance, when a world-famous Russian skater, Victor, notices Yuri and offers to become his mentor.
What did we say about sports and exclamation marks? This anime proves it once again: this is a powerful combination.
Free! follows swimming team members, who went their separate ways after an elementary school competition. Years later, they reunite as high school students, however one of them couldn't care less about their reunion.
Now the rest of the members decide to form their own swimming club, and they need one more person to replace their old team member.
Sports anime usually teach us that teamwork is the best way to achieve success, but what if that's not true?
Isagi was so close to scoring a goal, but the decision to pass the ball to another player ruined everything. Now he finds himself involved in the mysterious Blue Lock project that is going to help him become one of the greatest football players ever.
SK8 the Infinity
Why not add some skateboarding to our list, too?
Reki's greatest passion is skateboarding, but an unfortunate accident takes that away from him: his skateboard is destroyed and his arm is broken. But his involvement in sports activities is far from over, since he meets Langa, and now they are both forced into a bet that requires skating in a race.

Another football series on our list, but the more the better, don't you think?
Ashito is an extremely promising and aspiring football player, whose skills are the sole powerhouse pushing his team through an important high school preliminary tournament.
Just like many sportsmen, Ashito's got quite a short temper, which leads him to being removed from the team. But when it feels like all hope is lost, he's approached by a coach named Tatsuya Fukuda, who sees great potential in the boy.
Something to make the wait easier.
