There's a special brand of charm that comes with sports anime, and the appeal doesn't just stem from the high-octane, heart-pumping action. While it's always a joy to witness the last-minute thrills, hard-fought victories, and sensational plays unfolding in the arena, the heart of the genre lies much in the journey, where characters struggle, fall, and grow into their full...
There's a special brand of charm that comes with sports anime, and the appeal doesn't just stem from the high-octane, heart-pumping action.
Slam Dunk continues to be a shining example of everything done right for a sports title. Adapted into an anime in 1993, the basketball-centric manga series written and illustrated by Takehiko Inoue took the community by storm, winning over the hearts of many with a straightforward premise about a high-schooler who picks up basketball from the ground up to get close to his crush, and subsequently learns to get along with the rest of his teammates.
With the anime's 101-episode run, it'll be impossible to fit the entire story into its two-hour runtime without rushing things out, so the final arc makes a good fit since it also packs in plenty of heart-stopping court action. Naturally, that means first-timers are thrown right into the deep, but The First Slam Dunk thankfully provides sufficient context for them to catch up and develop a basic understanding of the overarching plot.
From the seemingly confident captain Akagi Takenori to the stoic ace player Rukawa Kaede , everyone on the team has their own past and share of difficulties, and it's during such moments that returning fans are reminded of just how far the characters have grown over the course of Slam Dunk. Then, there's the elephant in the room: the switch to a different animation style. The First Slam Dunk, with its 3D, computer-generated visuals, marks a departure from its traditional anime look, and it continues to be a talking point for the community. The concerns aren't unfounded: the artistic change does look awkward in the trailers, bringing an unnatural stiffness to the character models.
