Day, and the franchise marked it with a handwritten illustration from creator Haruichi Furudate, a post from voice actor Nobuhiko Okamoto, and a free three-day marathon on ABEMA. The official Haikyu!!.com X account shared Furudate's illustration with a message encouraging fans to get excited again this year. The illustration includes handwritten text noting that Retsu-sensei's \"Sutate Hina Garasu ①\" is on sale, featuring a collaboration manga between Hina Garasu and Manga Hinata, and that \"Haikyu!! RECEPTION\" will stream at 8:19 PM with new information. Fans responded with comments like \"I'm happy from the morning\" and \"This year's here too... 819 Day.\" Okamoto, who voices Yu Nishinoya, posted \"Today is August 19, Haikyu Day,\" drawing reactions about his portrayal of the character. ABEMA's free broadcast began at 10 PM on August 19 with all 85 TV anime episodes, five OAD/OVA episodes, and the puppet anime, running until August 21. Episodes remain free for one week after broadcast. The 2027 films \"Haikyu!! VS The Little Giant\" and \"Haikyu!! Where the Monsters Go\" are scheduled for release.","whyItMatters":"The simultaneous arrival of Furudate's new illustration, the RECEPTION stream tease, and the ABEMA marathon shows the franchise is using Haikyu!!
