Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle

I recently watched this movie in the cinema and found it to be a thrilling experience. I highly recommend catching it on the big screen for that extra level of immersion.

As a competitive volleyball player, I found the choreography and animation incredibly immersive and breathtaking. It felt like watching a real match in real time, keeping me on the edge of my seat. While the movie starts off feeling a bit rushed, it soon settles into a steady rhythm. The fast pace was a refreshing change from the anime's frequent internal monologues and pauses, enhancing the overall immersion.

I watched the dubbed version in the cinema, which was entertaining as I was used to the subbed version. Although some might find the new voice actors jarring, I enjoyed the change.

I haven't read this far in the manga, so I couldn't be disappointed by any omissions. As a standalone movie that picks up where season 4 left off, it was an amazing experience.

I recommend recapping the end of season 4 if it's been a while since you last watched it. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they conclude this series with the next movie.
