HAIKYU!! The Dumpster Battle Inspires Line Of Sports Merch

[PopGeeks]

HAIKYU!! The Dumpster Battle is in theaters now. But it can be experienced in more than one way. Crunchyroll has announced two new product collections based on the movie and the series it came from. Most of these are fitness-based: the lineup includes gym equipment, apparel and even an energy drink. Village Hidden In Iron, a fitness and lifestyle brand with a name obviously inspired by Naruto, couldn’t miss the opportunity to get into HAIKYU!! Their new line of related products includes the following: Karasuno lever belts, knee sleeves, wrist wraps, and lifting straps Karasuno Gym Equipment Bundle Nekoma lever belts, knee sleeves, wrist wraps, and lifting straps Nekoma Gym Equipment Bundle A series of oversized T-shirts featuring Hinata, Kageyama, and the Dumpster Battle teaser visual Crunchyroll has also partnered with ADVANCED, a company that produces performance and lifestyle supplements. Their products include a brand-new flavor of FOCUS, “Yubari Burst,” that “captures the essence of the Yubari King melon, a rare treasure found only in Japan.” Also available: A Karasuno-themed

Hmm, interesting that Crunchyroll is partnering with a fitness brand like Village Hidden In Iron. This is a smart way to target both anime fans and fitness enthusiasts. I wonder if the gym equipment is good quality? Gotta do some research before I buy.

Haha, this merch line cracks me up! Gym clothes for anime fans? I love Haikyuu!!, don't get me wrong. But picturing a bunch of hardcore otaku rocking Karasuno weightlifting straps is pretty funny. Maybe they'll cancel out the pizza and instant ramen with all this new workout gear? Just kidding (mostly)! But seriously, this is a clever marketing move by Crunchyroll. There's gotta be some overlap between anime fans and gym rats, right? Even if it's just for the cool factor. I might grab one of those oversized Hinata tees myself, workout or not.

Finally, some stylish anime merch that isn't just graphic tees! I love those oversized Haikyuu!! T-shirts. Hinata's my favorite character, so I gotta snag that one. The Nekoma stuff looks cool too, though
