Haikyuu: a historic launch in Japan
Haikyuu is undoubtedly one of the most popular animated television series in recent years when it comes to talking about sports. A manga hit (45 volumes and one completed story), Haruichi Furudate's work has also been successfully exported to television. This is evidenced by its renewed seasons over time. But these are two films that will conclude the story of Shouyou Hinata and Tobio Kageyama, these Olive and Tom of Volleyball. Let's say instead that it is a feature film divided into two parts which will conclude, with a first part already broadcast in Japan which mobilized the residents of the archipelago.

Box office revenue of 2.23 billion yen in the first three days. Attendance exceeded 1.52 million people.
According to Crunchyroll, these figures are synonymous with the sixth best launch in Japanese box office history. If we have to see if this enthusiasm lasts over time, it is clear that this feature film is worth a watch.
Haikyuu in France, it's coming soon!
Especially since the French public seems fond of animated sports adaptations for cinema. This is evidenced by the relative success of Slam Dunk, released last summer. This is good, since the first part of the match between Karasuno and Nekoma. It's June 12 that Haikyu! – The Film: The Garbage War is coming to the cinema in France. Yesterday, Crunchyroll released a trailer (to watch above) in the original version with French subtitles.
The trailer contextualizes the upcoming clash between the Karasuno and Nekoma. More than an official match, this volleyball game illustrates the desire of the two teams to do battle with an opponent that each considers worthy. It is more precisely the opposition between Hinata Shouyou and Kenma Kozyuma which is at the center of the feature film. Both characters, despite their small sizes, are volleyball geniuses. And obviously, beyond pure sporting entertainment, this meeting suggests a morality that goes beyond sport.
