Jump Festa '22: Dragon Ball Super

Jump Festa '22: Chainsaw Man

The Chainsaw Man Jump Festa ‘22 day one panel was somewhat of a letdown for Chainsaw Man fans.

Jump Festa '22: Haikyuu!!

Haikyuu!! Celebrated its tenth anniversary since the series’ debut, yet unfortunately fans didn’t quite get the news they were hoping for. To start, the Haikyuu!! team sadly did not announce the anime’s season 5 during their Jump Festa ‘22 panel. This was much to the disappointment of fans everywhere, who were hoping to have an announcement for the much anticipated Nekoma vs. Karasuno match.

Something that was announced, however, was the creation of 10 different projects to celebrate the series’ tenth anniversary, four of which were revealed at Jump Festa ‘22. While the four announced seem to be art exhibitions and things of that sort, fans are hoping later announcements will detail a movie or new season.

Jump Festa '22: Boruto

The Boruto series didn’t announce much besides a new key visual for the anime, yet fans are already expressing their displeasure with the announcement. Many fans feel that the key visual implies more filler or anime canon, something which is very divisive among anime fans in general and especially with Boruto fans.

Regardless, this was the only major announcement the series had for Jump Festa ‘22, but perhaps that wasn’t the best decision in hindsight.
