Haikyuu: The Dumpster Battle is an anime film by Production I.G, and it’s the first of the two-part finale movie project. This two-part film will serve as the finale to the ever-popular Haikyuu anime series.
In this first part, Karasuno High will face off against Nekoma High in what is known as the Battle of the Garbage Dump.
