New information for Haikyu the Movie: VS The Little Giant (Movie 2) and the upcoming special anime Haikyu!! Where the Monsters Go (Fukurodani vs Mujinazaka) will be revealed on August 19.

The announcements will be made during the third Haikyu!! RECEPTION special program, which will stream on the TOHO animation YouTube channel for the annual “Haikyu!! Day” on August 19. Ayumu Murase, who voices Shoyo Hinata, and Kaito Ishikawa, who voices Tobio Kageyama, will appear on the program. Haikyu!! manga editor Ritsuki Azuma will serve as MC.

Haikyu Final 2-part movie previously revealed a teaser visual and trailer along with a 2027 premiere date for its second part Haikyu the Movie: VS The Little Giant. Production I.G. was previously confirmed as the animation studio, with Susumu Mitsunaka in charge of the direction and script. The movie will cover the match between Karasuno and Kamomedai.

Interestingly, the official website previously removed the “Final” wording from the branding, suggesting that there may be something beyond the project.
