With the hype surrounding Haikyuu!! right now, it's a perfect time to catch up to it if you still haven't.
It makes the sports genre entertaining to watch and boasts a huge and well-written cast of characters.
You can watch it on Crunchyroll, but don't sleep on the manga, either.
The hype surrounding Haikyuu!! Movie: The Dumpster Battle is understandable. The franchise has been the most popular sports series for a while — in fact, the extent of its popularity is so high that it's pretty much the only sports anime you can see constantly discussed online.
The new movie, of course, only added more fuel to the hype. Between the discussions of the pacing in the movie and whether the entire manga is going to be adapted or not, fans post a lot of theories online. With the limited information we currently have from those who got to actually watch the movie in Japan, it is definitely a success — although some things had to have been cut.
When does the movie release on streaming?
We don't know when the movie is going to be released for online streaming. It might take from just a few months to over a year — currently, there is no information at all. Most fans assume it will be on Crunchyroll, but even that isn't confirmed.
However, before the movie releases, fans have enough time to actually catch up to the series if they haven't — or even rewatch it fully.
Some viewers still haven't seen the fourth season, To The Top, which is obviously required before watching the movie. Initially, it was met with concerns because of the slight change in art style, but now, there's no reason to skip it, as the anime adapts the series further.
What makes it so good
Haikyuu!! is the kind of anime that is very much worth your time. While sports might seem like a too mundane genre for most people to care about, Haikyuu!! executes it in the best possible way.
You actually don't need to be into volleyball itself to enjoy the anime, either: the sport is very easy to understand, and the anime turns into a visually stunning spectacle.
The large cast of unique and well-developed characters also help. Most Haikyuu!! fans have favorites, but agree that pretty much every member of the cast is good. For such a long series (the manga is over 400 chapters long), giving enough focus to every cast member is a very hard task — one that Haikyuu!! performs perfectly.
You can watch Haikyuu!! right now on Crunchyroll
The anime is pretty long — almost 100 episodes by now — but you'll have enough time to watch it all before the movie. The entire series is on Crunchyroll. And while some fans are cautious about the pacing of the movie, you still need to see it by yourself to form an opinion. Also don't skip on manga — pretty much the entire fandom agrees it's worth it even if you watched the anime.
It is the most popular sports anime for a reason.
