The moment I found out that there’s a new Slam Dunk movie coming, I was really excited. Everytime I think about my childhood, talking about Slam Dunk is usually what comes next. Since it’s been a long time that a new movie or series is coming from this franchise, I would be lying if I say that I don’t have any expectations at all. Besides, The First Slam Dunk movie is about Shohoku’s match against Sannoh.
I usually write notes whenever I am reading or watching anime and I think majority of what I wrote for this manga is about Hanamichi Sakuragi, haha. Slam Dunk is not just a classic anime but also a very good manga that sure lived up with all my expectations. It was so intense with the right blend of humor and it was also so nostalgic which always left me teary eyed whenever I read it. This manga is highly recommended!
I’m not a sports person myself but once in a while, I do enjoy watching sports tournaments or shows during my free time. And lately, I’ve been watching quite a lot of sports anime but not one of them came close to Slam Dunk (don’t get me wrong, Yuri on Ice is amazing but in a different kind of way for me, *wink) until I came across Haikyuu. Haikyuu is a Japanese term for volleyball. And yes, this anime series is about a group of talented high schoolers in a volleyball club.
Slam Dunk is one of my favorite shows of all time and I can’t believe it’s been almost 25 years since its first anime episode was aired. Like most anime series, Slam Dunk started off as a shounen manga by Inoue Takehiko that was serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump from September 1990 to June 4, 1996.
