About Haikyu!!
Shoyo Hinata idolizes Karasuno's Little Giant but must team up with his middle school nemesis Tobio Kageyama to make the fallen powerhouse relevant again. Production I.G animated four seasons: season 1 (25 episodes, 2014), season 2 (25 episodes, 2015 to 2016), season 3's 10-episode Shiratorizawa decider (2016), and To the Top (25 episodes split across 2020). Canon OVAs cover the Tokyo qualifiers and side stories between seasons.
HAIKYU!! The Dumpster Battle (Japan, February 16, 2024) continues straight from season 4 with the Karasuno versus Nekoma grudge match. Four compilation films recap earlier material and can be skipped: The End and the Beginning (2015), The Winner and the Loser (2015), Talent and Sense (2017) and Battle of Concepts (2017). Two entries remain: the film VS The Little Giant and the special Where Monsters Go, both confirmed for 2027.
Good to know
Recap films are marked skippable in the list. The Quest picture drama shorts (2014) are bonus extras and left out. The 2027 window for VS The Little Giant and Where Monsters Go follows the December 2025 teaser and Haikyu Day 2026 updates; neither has an exact date yet. The manga by Haruichi Furudate ran 2012 to 2020.
