Haikyuu is one of the most popular anime among the anime community, as it has served as one of the go-to animes for fans and new anime watchers alike. It has inspired many to try this indoor/outdoor highly engaging sport as well, me included, to see the beauty of the sport that is brought by this amazing team-coordinated material.
Haikyuu has done its part well to give the wisdom of friendship and how important it is to showcase trust in each other and, most importantly, with its characters such as Hinata and Kageyama, the amazing portrayal of following the dreams.
However, it has been more than three years since fans any new context from the anime, and it has been worrying the fans a lot and has led to fans questioning the entirety of the anime itself as well.
Many wonder if the Haikyuu anime is canceled or the Haikyuu anime is finished. Well, we have a lot of info regarding these questions, but the answers that we have for this question aren’t good at all.
It is such a shame that an anime like this will have to be treated with this kind of treatment for no reason whatsoever. So, with that being said, here are the updates on the future of the Haikyuu anime.
Is Haikyuu Anime Finished? The Future Of The Anime Is In Trouble!
To answer the question of whether Haikyuu anime is finished or not, well, NO, the Haikyuu anime is not finished as of now and will see development soon. However, instead of a fighting season for the anime it should have been, we will get movies for the Haikyuu that will feature the last 100+ chapters from the manga.
As of this writing, we have a total of 4 seasons of the anime, with the latest and the last season being released during the pandemic in April of 2022. The event of Karsuno getting the National trophy has seen amazing development with the dynamics of various characters and teams. Fans were happily awaiting the fifth season that would continue this mega event.
But in an anime event last year, it was announced that instead of a fifth season, the Haikyuu anime would have been having two-part films for the rest of the season. This news is devasting because two movies with runtime times of not more than two hours could possibly cover the remaining 25% or so of the content from the manga.
There will be many cuts made in the manga and alterations made as well. It is not very well known in the anime industry for the anime to switch to moves to cover a weekly published manga with a lot of content.
Thus, what we are going to be seeing in the films won’t be as good for the Haikyuu and the fans as it would have been for the fifth and the possible sixth and the last season of the anime.
What Will Haikyuu Films Be About?
We anticipate that many of the fans will wonder what these two films will be about, considering this shift from a new season. Well, these films are going to cover the remaining unadapted from the Haikyuu, which is from chapters 293 to 402.
As mentioned earlier, there is no possibility that page from these chapters will be made to the bigger screens, and thus, alterations and changes will be made to them.
While doing the simple math that is to cover 25% of the Haikyuu series, fans are going to be disappointed with what they are about to see, especially for the first film that will conclude the current national event that there will be with Karuna and Nekoma going full out at this event.

The second film will possibly adapt the series’ final arc with the time skip and the high schoolers making their way to something big. While this isn’t what we had expected to see from the finale of the Haikyuu anime, we are just glad that we have this anime concluded with top-notch films rather than the absolute trash that the season of Promised Neverland Manga was.
