The anime itself was last broadcast in the fourth season which finished in December 2020. Currently the final film Haikyuu!! FINAL, which will be divided into two parts, has been broadcast since February 16 (for the first part) in Japan and has received an extraordinary response from fans. This indicates that fans are looking forward to the return of this series.

Fans previously hoped for a fifth season of the anime, but there will only be a two-part film that will end the series, it seems that many fans feel that two films are not enough to end this volleyball-themed anime series truly. Here are some possible reasons why the film Haikyuu!! FINAL is not enough to truly end this anime series. Please note, that some of the discussions here may contain spoilers for those of you who haven't read the manga.

Reasons Why Haikyuu!! FINAL Movie Series Is Not Enough to End the Series

1. There Are 100 Chapters Left in the Manga but Turned into a Movie

The main reason for this concern is the decision to choose the final film instead of making a fifth season of the anime. Even though there are still 100 chapters in the final story of the manga, it seems very impossible to just summarize it into a two-part film. The lack of time to tell everything that remains in the manga makes fans feel that this film is still not enough to cure their longing for their favorite anime series.

If you look at the traces of Haikyuu!!, previously, this series had achieved so much success that it could be adapted into a new series. The work of IG Productions deserves satisfactory praise, not artificial ones and it will become more work through the latest season of this anime

2. Haikyuu!! FINAL Only Reached The Battle Between Karasuno vs Nekoma

Currently showing the first film from Haikyuu!! FINAL with the title Haikyu!! The Movie: Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump has been broadcast since February 16 in Japan. This film is an adaptation of the 294th chapter in the original manga which highlights the match between the Karasuno and Nekoma teams which fans are eagerly awaiting. Haikyuu!! The Movie: Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump is also a direct sequel to the fourth season which was released in 2020.

This film focuses on the tension of the match between the two teams who were destined to meet like the legend of the battle between the two teams in the past. The reason why the title chosen is "Battle of the Garbage Dump" refers to the nickname each team has. Karasuno himself is known as the "Crow Without Wings", precisely after the team experienced a downfall at the beginning of Haikyuu!! story. Meanwhile, Nekoma itself is a team that is synonymous with "Cats", so this term signifies the fight in the trashcan between crows and cats for power.

In this film, you can also see the past of coach Ukai Ikkei and coach Nekoma Yasufumi Nekomata who will later tell how the two teams began to become 'rivals' with each other. It would be a shame if this film only tells that part, even though after the match many other important moments or stories are no less exciting to tell.

3. The Possible Story of Haikyuu!! FINAL Second Movie

The continuation of the first film will probably only be until the fight between Karasuno and Kamomedai in the final of the national volleyball match. You can also watch the touching moments and Karasuno's struggle to solidify his position. You can also look forward to exciting moments in matches with this strong team. Meanwhile, the film Haikyuu!! will end in this second film, meaning there will be many moments that will be missed, even though it is the main story and a picture of character development and abilities, especially of the main character, Hinata Shoyo.

4. The Potentially Missable Story in Haikyuu!!

If you look at the possibilities of what could happen in the two Haikyuu!! The FINAL movies only reach the final match arc in the manga. In fact, after the match, many arcs can be used as animation. For example, Hinata's journey when she was in Brazil, how difficult it was for her to survive there and become a professional volleyball player, or even Hinata's struggle and the character of Haikyuu!! others who have also chosen their own paths through the Timeskip story.

How will the careers of Hinata, Kageyama, Oikawa, and other characters of Haikyuu!! can actually be made into a longer animated series so that fans can feel satisfied by really getting the details of each story in their favorite series. The author, as a fan of this series, hopes that in the future the production of this series can consider additional stories or OVAs from the series which can provide a more detailed picture of the future career of each Haikyuu!! because this will definitely be fun for fans to follow.

Will There Be a Last Season After Haikyuu!! FINAL Movies?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. For the last three years, fans have been waiting for certainty about the fifth season of the anime after being left with a cliffhanger in the fourth season which made fans curious about the sequel, but in the end, fans only got two anime films which would be the final story of the Haikyuu!! anime series. through this two-part film. Of course, this decision received mixed responses. Some fans feel grateful that at least this anime is continuing, there are also those who feel disappointed with the production's decision to end the series with 2 films instead of producing season 5.

But in the end, the arrival of the first film with the title Haikyu!! The movie: Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump continues to receive a positive response from fans who have watched the film, seeing the high level of income from the film since its broadcast on February 16, 2024, in Japan. Currently, fans can only hope for additional stories from the production if this is indeed the story of Haikyuu!! Not much can be expected regarding the details of the story.
