"I am a genius!"
It has been more than 20 years since the red-haired idiot Sakuragi shouted this sentence on TV for the first time, yesterday (March 23 Japan) is the 20th anniversary of the premiere of the TV animation version of Slam Dunk (SLAM DUNK).
Sakuragi, who joined the Shohoku basketball team because of Haruko , adheres to the belief that he is a genius, and Rukawa Kaede , Miyagi, Mitsui Hisashi, and Mu Mu, a group of people with different personalities but all love basketball. After more than 90 episodes of practice and competition (...), my teammates finally qualified for the coveted national competition.
Before entering the national competition, Shoyang Ryonan mixed team, considered the strongest team in Kanagawa Prefecture, started a practice match with Shohoku . The game ended with Sakuragi's dramatic slam dunk... animated version The plot also stops here...
Due to the conflict between the author Takehiko Inoue and the original publisher Shueisha, the national competition in the manga was not animated...
Even if it is regrettable, this animation is still exciting and touching. The word youth cannot summarize the dreams, friendship, passion, purity, perseverance, love and so many other things it contains, so that we can’t tell which point we are moved by.
It’s just that no matter how long it takes to hear the theme song "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly" again, I will still be inexplicably excited, my blood will surge, and my eyes will even fill with tears QUQ.
Feeling the deep love for this anime, the Japanese animation channel broadcast a high-definition remake of "Slam Dunk" in 2013, and its Blu-ray version was officially released in 2014. However, I don’t know if the high-definition remake includes a theatrical version. During the TV animation period from 1993 to 1996, as the plot developed, several theatrical versions of Slam Dunk were released one after another. Here is a brief review, you can make up for what you missed ~
March 1994, theater version 1 "Sakuragi Hanamichi VS Oda (Shohoku Dubuen)"
Sakuragi Hanamichi junior high school had the glorious experience of being rejected by fifty girls. Oda, the boyfriend of Shimamura Yoko, the fiftieth girl who rejected him, is a basketball player in Wuyuan.
In July 1994, Slam Dunk The Movie 2 "Dominate the Nation! Sakuragi Hanamichi (Shohoku vs. Tsukutake)"
Shohoku played against Tsukutake in the quarterfinals of Kanagawa Prefecture.
In March 1995, Slam Dunk The Movie 3 "Shohoku's Biggest Crisis! Sakuragi Hanamichi Ignites Fighting Spirit (Shohoku vs. Green Wind)"
The newly established Green Wind High School basketball team has not yet officially participated in the competition, and they invited Shohoku to participate. Practice match. Every player has a unique skill.
In July 1995, Slam Dunk The Movie 4 "Roar! The Soul of a Basketball Player! The Hot Summer of Sakuragi and Rukawa Maple"
Rukawa Kaede's junior student at Tomigaoka Junior High School Mizusawa Ichiro , due to physical reasons He can no longer play the basketball he loves... He hopes to play basketball with Rukawa-senpai again before the surgery.
In addition to these, there is also a special bonus " Determined Shohoku Basketball Club ", which is a review of the entire animation plot. The quality of the theatrical version is uneven... DaDa recommends the theatrical version 2 and the theatrical version 3, which are the two games against Tsukutake and Green Wind.
Three months after the TV animation version ended, the serialization of the comic also came to an abrupt end. Shohoku did not become the number one in the country, did not go out of Asia and rush to the world, and did not continue to enter outer space. In the national competition, due to exhaustion of energy in the battle with Sanno Koko, who had won the national championship for three consecutive years, Sakuragi was also injured, so he lost in the subsequent competition...
"Perhaps, youth is inherently imperfect. Right." Takehiko Inoue said.
Until eight years later, in December 2004, in order to commemorate the sales of comics exceeding 100 million copies, Inoue Takehiko used chalk to draw 23 rooms in an abandoned middle school in Kanagawa Prefecture (where Shohoku High School is located) in the name of his company. The blackboard in the classroom depicts "them" 10 days after the "Battle between Shohoku and Sanno Industries" in the finale of "Slam Dunk".
