CATDOLL: Slam Dunk National Competition Episode May Be Animated

Speaking of sports comics, Slam Dunk is a classic in many people's minds. However, since the end of the animated version, there has been no animation or sequel except for a few theatrical versions. Although a remake of the animated version was launched before, there is no new content, which is also a pity for fans.

However, recently, there has been a lot of news about "Slam Dunk". First, the high-definition Blu-ray disc of the four theatrical versions produced in 1994 and 1995 will be released on July 8, and the three exciting chapters of the TV animation will be played in theaters from July 10 to 31. In order to celebrate the renovation of the four old theatrical versions, the "three classic chapters" of the TV version will be shown in theaters in Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka, Japan from July 10. In simple terms, the specific episodes of the TV version will be broadcast in one go, and voice actors Kusao Takeshi (Sakuragi Hanamichi), Okiayu Ryutaro (Mitsui Hisashi), and Tanaka Hideyuki (Kumure Konobu) will also be present to participate in the event.

Three classic chapters of Slam Dunk:

Mitsui returns (Episodes 23, 25, 26, 27)

The chapter that was finally chosen by the official was the plot where Mitsui clashed with the Shohoku basketball team until he was finally conquered by Coach Anzai. The reason for choosing this section was of course based on two famous quotes: "Coach, I want to play basketball." and "If you give up now, the game will be over."

Xiangbei vs. Hainan (Episodes 53, 54, 57, 59)

Shohoku vs. Ryonan (Episodes 80, 82, 83, 84)

Not long ago, the manga author Takehiko Inoue also said on his Twitter that he bought a complete set of Slam Dunk manga. Although he did not explain why he did this, many netizens began to speculate that this series of promotional activities should have a purpose, and the most likely one is the animation of the manga national competition. Although it is still just speculation, it would be great if it is true, so let's wait for good news.
