In 2021, Slam Dunk author Hiko Inoue said that SD will release an animated movie, making countless fans cry. After 20 years, they will finally be able to see Slam Dunk again. However, they did not expect that due to the epidemic, this time will be postponed again. Year, it has only now been officially announced that on December 3, 2022, the new theatrical version of the movie will be released in Neon Country.
What is still unsatisfying is that apart from the confirmed release date, the producer does not seem to have disclosed any other information. They only posed a photo of the portraits of the five giants in northern Hunan, and there is no other information other than that.
Since Inoue has made it clear before that this theatrical version will be brand new and cannot be a replica of the previously filmed version, so it cannot be a warm-up match between Shohoku and his former love rival Oda Toga Buen, plus Sakuragi has an iconic short hair, and the new theatrical version will most likely be a national competition. Even though officials have refused to disclose specific information, this may be more like a cover-up to whet people's appetite.
Of course, even if it is really a national competition, in the manga, the powerful dialogue between Shohoku and the so-called A-level team Toyotama High School (Shohoku is rated as C-level) and the master of the king Sanno Industry has been portrayed by Inoue. Incisively and vividly, from every time the opponent is found, to every key move for a key goal, real SD fans are already familiar with it. Therefore, if you just copy the comic book like a cartoon, I am afraid that picky fans will not be able to follow it. Buy it.
But if we can focus on these only two games and portray more of the obsession of Shobei players not wanting to lose, like the real basketball game , and give fans more sense of substitution, we may achieve better results than watching animations. Better results during the film. After all, the format of NCAA is similar to that of Slam Dunk. It can be said that there has never been a case like Xiangbei who was able to pass two levels in a row for the first time and also destroyed the defending champion and entered the top 16.
This kind of tournament-based competition, where the outcome is decided by one game and the winner continues to lose and goes home to fish, is a great test of the players' competition experience and the team's overall background. The teams in the NCAA that can reach the final four are basically those The championship goes to a prestigious school that is soft-handed. Even if there is a dark horse to win the championship, there is no situation where it will be a dark horse for the first time entering March Madness.
Therefore, Xiangbei can reach this level just by relying on the energy of not wanting to lose and cherishing the last summer. This has a lot to write home about. As for whether after Sanno Industrial Co., Ltd. can also describe more about the defeat of Aiwa Academy due to exhaustion, this may be another aspect worth looking forward to in this theatrical version.
