After toppling the wildcats of Nekoma High School, Shoyo Hinata and his Karasuno team face their next big test against Kamomedai High.

Meanwhile, anime enthusiasts will get an extra treat with a television special adapting a fan-favorite manga clash: Fukurōdani Academy versus Mujinazaka High. Titled ‘The Place Where Monsters Go,’ it explores another quarterfinal of the Spring Nationals, bringing more edge-of-your-seat action to screens.
Creative Energy Continues
Returning to helm the production is Susumu Mitsunaka, directing VS The Little Giant. Animation is once again in the capable hands of Production I.G. Another intriguing detail is the subtle title change for the final chapters, dropping the ‘Final’ from the franchise’s last cinematic installments. Could this hint at more entries or specials surfacing in the future? There’s still a treasure trove of manga content ready for adaptation.
Fans eagerly counting down can look forward to witnessing Haikyu!! The Movie: VS The Little Giant along with the TV adaptation, The Place Where Monsters Go.
