In 2017, the anime studio released Magical Circle Guru-Guru, Welcome to the Ballroom, and the anime movie Kuroko's Basketball: Last Game. So far, the release schedule from Production IG has not mentioned the volleyball anime. Manga readers are looking forward to Haikyuu Chapter 268, which means that Production IG now has enough manga source material for creating 25 episodes of Haikyuu Season 4. The good news is that mangaka Haruichi has steadily been releasing new chapters in Weekly Shonen Jump. Previously, Production IG had released a new season every year, but the anime needed to take a break or it risked bypassing the manga. When the third season ended in December of 2016, there simply was not enough source material for making Haikyuu Season 4. The third season of Haikyuu ended with Chapter 190, which was the ending of Haikyuu Volume 21, but it also pulled some source material from Chapter 207 (the scene where Hinata and Kageyama compete over who can jump higher). Unfortunately, the anime was catching up with the manga, so for the third season, anime studio Production IG slowed things down and released only 10 episodes.

Likewise, the second season had 25 episodes and ended at Chapter 149, which was in the middle of Haikyuu Volume 17. The first season was 25 episodes long and covered 71 chapters of the manga, which was the ending of Haikyuu Volume 8. Hinata vowed to surpass Kageyama, but in the end, the two end up being teammates and then an unlikely duo. Unfortunately, these early dreams were crushed by the egotistical Tobio Kageyama, the so-called King of the Court. The volleyball anime tells the story of Shoyo Hinata, a high school freshman who desires to dominate the courts despite being pint-sized. The Haikyuu anime stands out from the crowd with its 9.02 rating from MyAnimeList, which is higher than even Yuri on Ice. Better yet, a Haikyuu movie is about to come out, so there's plenty of reasons to believe that the fourth season of the anime could enter production in 2018. After all, doesn't everyone want to watch volleyball in action, even if the work of manga artist Haruichi Furudate is very good? For those who can't wait anymore, the manga provides plenty of spoilers for the fourth season of Haikyuu. The Haikyuu Season 4 release date is hotly anticipated by both fans of the anime and the Haikyuu manga.
