Are you
rooting for Karasuno High or Nekoma High? Crows or Cats?
If you're
stumped by those questions, you're obviously out of the loop regarding the
current varsity volleyball craze gripping the country, or you're not one of the
countless anime/manga fans who religiously follow the Haikyu series.
Set in the
Miyagi prefecture of Northeastern Japan, Haikyu: The Dumpster Battle is the
current anime film the kids are all crazy about, turning each SM IMAX screening
into a FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) cosplay party. And yes, one can catch the
film at the SM Cinema and Director's Club, but the IMAX screenings are where
it's truly happening!
Haikyuu!!
The Dumpster Battle follows the latest adventures of our main protagonist,
Shoyo Hinata. Inspired to follow the footsteps of his varsity volleyball idol,
the Little Giant, Shoyo discovers that joining the Karasuno High volleyball
team means he has to bury the hatchet and team up with his middle school
nemesis, Tobio Kageyama.
With themes
and lessons about teamwork, pride, forgiveness, and resolution, we join the
journey of the Karasuno High volleyball team through the Nationals and the
preliminary rounds leading up to the Dumpster Battle, where they face bitter
rival Nekoma High.
It's more
than just a film screening. The exclusive run of this anime film at SM Cinemas
has created a vibrant community of Gen Z and Gen Alpha moviegoers. They flock
to their favorite SM Supermalls, decked out in full Haikyu gear, ready to
transform the movie into an unforgettable party!
From
merchandise to IG-ready standees and posters, Haikyu installations have become
integral parts of the excitement that's taken hold of these fans. The long
lines for tickets have turned into joyful activities, filled with smiles and
excited chatter, as fans eagerly await their turn.
The recent
National University double championship sweep of the Men's and Women's UAAP
volleyball tournament and how so much excitement was generated during the game
has only added spice to this Haikyu film, and how new fans and followers have
taken to the subject matter of this latest Haikyu film series installment.
