Alongside the release date, Netflix released a trailer that gives anime fans a sneak peek of the upcoming volleyball battle between rival teams, but more importantly between the main characters Hinata and Kenma. The clip, which you can watch above, also features the film’s official theme song by Japanese rock band Spyair.

The film follows teenager Shoyo Hinata as he pursues his athletic dreams and joins the volleyball team at Karasuno High School. The only problem is that to do this he has to team up with his former rival. “The Dumpster Battle” is the first film of a two-parter that marks the finale of the entire anime series. The next film is expected to be released sometime in 2025.

Directed by Susumu Mitsunaka, the film is an adaptation of the hugely 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 appears to be adapting chapters 291 to 325, with or without a few chapters. The film also tries to pick up where Haikyu!! Season 4 ends.

Haikyu!!: The Dumpster Battle is coming to Netflix in select regions of Asia this Halloween, but fans in Japan were able to see the film earlier this year when it hit theaters on February 16th. There’s no official international release date yet, but we’re hoping it’ll also be available on Netflix in the US and UK.

Haikyu!!: The Dumpster Battle arrives on Netflix Asia on October 31st. For more information, check out our guide to the best anime to watch in 2024 or stay up to date with new anime coming your way.
