There is no denying the power of Haikyu these days. The show is one of the biggest sports anime of all time, and its reach has helped turn volleyball into a phenomenon. Earlier this year, the world turned in as Haikyu: The Dumpster Battle made its way to theaters, and now there is more moving goodness on the way. Jump Festa 2025 just shared a big update on Haikyu ahead of its next movie, and it involves the creation of an actual theme park.
According to the Jump Festa announcement, Haikyu FAN PARK is on the horizon as the event is set for June 2025. The event, which will be held in Chiba, will give fans a chance to explore the world of Haikyu the real world. The event will bring several of the anime's iconic sets to life at an expo center as you can see below. From volleyball courts to food stalls, the mini 'theme park' will have it all including character meet and greets. After all, the Haikyu event was made to give fans the chance to play volleyball with the Karasuno team, so you can bet the lottery draw for Haikyu FAN PARK will be intense.
As you can see, the team behind Haikyu is gearing up for a big event, and it comes ahead of the anime's next movie. The film promises to adap one of the manga's most intense arcs to date. Back in February 2024, the crew saw Karasuno take to new heights as Haikyu: The Dumpster Battle pitted the team against Nekoma at long last. Now, the anime is gearing up for Karasuno vs Kamomedai, so fans are hoping this Haikyu event will drop an update on the upcoming movie.
Haikyu's Next Movie Has Big Shoes to Fill Given Its Last Release
Haikyu: The Dumpster Battle Is a Masterclass For Sports Anime
Now if you are not caught up on all the goodness that is Haikyu, no sweat. The anime is easy enough to find thanks to Crunchyroll. The anime's sub is available to watch in full, and Crunchyroll worked with Sony Pictures to bring Haikyu: The Dumpster Battle to theaters earlier this year. The movie grossed over $100 million USD during its global run, and Haikou's performance in Japan made it the second highest-grossing movie of 2024 overseas.
Of course, it is hardly a surprise seeing how well the Haikyu movie did. Not only is Haruichi Furudate's sports series incredibly popular, but the rivalry match between Karasuno and Nekoma has been teased for ages. The movie follows the two schools as their volleyball teams face down for their first official match in ages. With the Spring Nationals on their backs, the teams must reconcile their own dreams as they hit the court, and Hinata is forced to give his all against Kozume despite their close friendship.
Haikyu!! is one of sports anime's brightest gems, but the introduction of Blue Box for the medium's fans is a familiar yet expansive twist.
Now that this match is done, Haikyu is gearing up for its next battle. The manga's next match for Hinata pits his team against Kamomedai, a top-tier school with a volleyball team packed with superstars. All eyes are on the horizon given how epic this volleyball match should be, and once Karasuno takes to the court, it won't be long before Haikyu finds itself facing the manga's final arc.
