In addition to the news about the fourth season of the Haikyu!! series that’s coming, we also learned about the OVA. The release has the formal solicitation for a January 22nd, 2020 release for it through TOHO and after bringing out one promo for it previously, they’ve now brought out a new teaser spot for it giving us a taste of what the animation and style of the special will be like.
The distributor has priced the two limited editions at 5,800 yen for the DVD and 6,800 yen for the Blu-ray. Both will come with a booklet and a post card set while including promos as the extras – so far. The OVA itself is 45 minutes long as it deals with the qualifiers.
The previous seasons were streamed by Crunchyroll with Sentai Filmworks licensing and releasing it on home video in bilingual form. Viz Media releases the manga.
Plot Concept: Shoyo Hinata isn’t a large guy, but he’s got huge ambitions. Ever since seeing a small player score in a National Championship, he’s been determined to become the next big thing in High School Volleyball. Unfortunately, the one time he was able to pull enough players together to form a team in junior high, they were completely trashed in their first and only match against a team led by up-and-coming setter Tobio Kageyama.
Now, enrolled at the same high school where his idol once played, Shoyo’s finally going to get his shot to join and play with a top team. There’s just one problem: Tobio Kageyama’s decided to attend the same school, and he’s already considered one of the best players in the game. Can a kid out of nowhere hold his own against the King of the Court? Or could the rivalry and competition actually be the best thing for both of them?
