The Weekly Shonen Jump (Shueisha) volleyball manga Haikyū!! has become an anime that is broadcasting during the spring season. The anime broadcasts every Sunday at 17:00 (JST) on 28 MBS/TBS channels. Because the manga is highly popular, anticipation is also high for the anime series. Increasing this anticipation even more are advertisements that are going up all over the country. In stations across six cities, huge advertisement illustrations have been put up. Each of the visuals is a different illustration drawn specifically for the occasion. Fans won’t want to miss them.

The humongous illustrations can be seen inside the Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Sendai, Fukuoka, and Sapporo stations. The visuals also have catch phrases on them including “Toward winning it all, together with friends” in Tokyo and “Creating an unforgettable moment, together with friends” in Osaka. The passionate world of Haikyū!! is cleverly depicted. But seeing all the advertisements in real life would be rather difficult. So, all the illustrations have now also been released online. Definitely check these out and, if you happen to live in Japan, get to the nearest station to see one in person. A special PV is also available on the official site. In it, you can see these masterpiece illustrations while hearing the theme song “Imagination” by four-person rock band Spyair.

In additional news, it has been announced that the first volume Blu-ray and DVD will release on July 16. The original jacket illustration by character designer Takahiro Kishida has also been published. The costs of the Blu-ray and DVD are 6,800 yen and 5,800 yen, respectively (tax not included).

The first release limited edition will include a lottery ticket to a free-to-attend event. Performing at the event will be Ayumu Murase who plays main character Shōyō Hinata, and members of the main cast including Kaito Ishikawa, Satoshi Hino, Miyu Irino, Yoshimasa Hosoya, Yū Hayashi, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Kōki Uchiyama, and Sōma Saitō.

Also, the regular edition of “Imagination” to release on April 30 will include a specially illustrated case. Just like the huge advertisements, this will include the members of Karasuno High. The first release edition of the CD will cost 1,600 yen and the regular edition 1,100 yen (tax not included).
