Better this than being completely cut out, I guess. The first movie was actually brilliant, considering the amount of chapters it adapted in such a short time frame.

I truly don't understand the decision of going this route instead of proper TV seasons. It's been years since Haikyuu ended and it's still hugely popular, to a degree that no other sports anime that's come afterwards has matched (Blue Lock seems to be on that track but it's not quite there yet). Is a movie cheaper to produce than a full season of TV? Is Shueisha hoping to recreate the Mugen Train phenomenon? Did they receive negative feedback about the Shiratorizawa season being too stretched out for just one volleyball game? I'll reckon the Garbage Dump movie was superb, but I would've loved to see that game -that the whole show had been building towards- get more time to breathe and give us a proper sendoff of the Nekoma characters, most of whom didn't get a lot of time to shine in the film

I'm really pleased that we'll have two projects covering these matches, although I enjoyed the dumpster battle movie I felt it was too rushed and missed alot of the iconic moments from the manga. I was dreading just more movies that also cut out material and seemed to downplay the atmosphere that was captured brilliantly in manga format. I look forward to seeing these and hope they compare to the manga.

I'm not sure where the idea that 2 new films have been greenlit comes from. This gives the name of the new film and says it is the 2nd in the 2-Part Haikyuu finale. The title makes me think they aren't animating the time skip future arc at all, which is very disappointing. I'd have much preferred 3 smaller 10 episode arcs over the movies so everything could be included.

I assume it's probably because adapting everything else in multiple seasons is just a way longer commitment overall. Even though the series is still massively popular and sells well, Shueisha probably doesn't see it as a massive investment anymore since the manga ended for a while now. At least assuming that is the reason, still got a better fate than Promised Neverland...

Good point, I would have much preferred episodes too. I'm going to be very ticked off if they don't animate the time skip when you consider that this is what they've been working towards and talking about for ages. That final match as professionals was really epic.
