Maya Phillips New York Times Because even if crows and cats battling in a dumpster doesn’t appeal to you, there’s still the promise of watching good athletes play a good game — and that’s worth a seat in the bleachers. May 31, 2024 Full Review Steve Rose Guardian For the uninitiated, you might as well be a cat or a crow watching this: much of it will leave you cold or simply go over your head. Rated: 2/5 May 29, 2024 Full Review Charles Solomon FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's very much your standard issue "anime sports story," but it delivers on it. If you enjoy volleyball, you will have a lot of fun with it. Jun 14, 2024 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz You have to admire director and co-writer Susumu Mitsunaka’s ability to stretch a single game to feature-length without it ever becoming dull and his attempts to make things as immersive as possible Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Nathaniel Fetalvero The New Paper (Singapore) Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle will make for an entertaining viewing experience for long-time followers of the anime... But if the names Hinata Shoyo and Kageyama Tobio mean nothing to you, you probably can give this a miss. Rated: 3/5 Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Rafael Sánchez Casademont Fotogramas ... One of the best animes in history and, without a doubt, the best sports story in a series or on film. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
