Alongside the release date, Netflix has posted a trailer giving anime fans a sneak peek at the upcoming volleyball battle between rival teams but more importantly between central characters Hinata and Kenma. The clip, which you can see above, also includes the movie’s official theme song by Japanese rock band Spyair.

The movie follows teenager Shoyo Hinata who seeks out his sporting dreams and joins Karasuno High School's volleyball team. The only issue is, to do so he has to team up with his former rival. The Dumpster Battle is the first movie in a two-parter that marks the finale in the whole anime series. The next film is expected to be released sometime in 2025.

Directed by Susumu Mitsunaka, the movie is adapted from the highly popular anime series Haikyu!!, which in turn is based on the manga series of the same name by Haruichi Furudate. For fans of the manga who may be wondering, The Dumpster Battle movie seems to adapt chapters 291 to 325, give or take a few chapters. The film also looks to pick up where Haikyu!! Season 4 leaves off.

Haikyu!!: The Dumpster Battle hits Netflix in selected regions in Asia this Halloween, but fans in Japan got to see the movie earlier this year when it was released in theaters on February 16. However, there is no official international release date at this time, but we are hoping it comes to Netflix US and UK too.

Haikyu!!: The Dumpster Battle hits Netflix Asia on October 31. For more check out our guide to the best anime you should be watching in 2024, or keep up with new anime heading your way.
