Slam Dunk

Slam Dunk is a great anime, from passion for basketball, to comedy, to plot, to execution this series has it all. The series centers around a 1st year High school kid Hanamichi Sakuragi who hated basketball in the beginning but joined the team to impress Haruko(A girl he has a crust on) but later develops a burning passion for the sports himself & he soon becomes one of the main players of his High School team. I hated the fact that they did not finish the comic book, i.e the original story line, but still. This series is a must watch for all the sports lovers. Even if u ever hated Basketball this series will make u love it. It's just THAT good. The main character is an amateur in Basketball. While he learns how to play it. So will you all. There are some great high school rivalries. There are some heart breaks too. In other words this is an absorbing anime. A complete 10/10 from me. Enjoy!

I love basketball, and the fact that everyone is so passionate about this game in the series is just great. The character background and how they all come from different places and situations to finally play on the same team and beat everyone on the court with incredible plays and moves and UNDERSTANDING each other (except for hanamichi and rukawa) is, in one word (or two?), heart-lifting, and their personality and skill development throughout the entire series kept me watching every chapter solemnly.

You want to go out and play basketball after every chapter of this amazing series. 10/10

The anime is good but a bit extra childish(immature) that's why I didn't like it much in the first few episodes but when Sakuragi Hanimichi(protagonist) was getting into basketball more and more, I started to like the show. At that time I thought it was best suited for teenagers and I still think that I was correct but in the later parts of the show it reaches its peak and I think everyone would love the latter parts of the show especially the matches they play against the top teams. Those matches are so detailed, they lasts for many episodes that's why I'm not fully satisfied with the show because they ended it in between(what i mean by that is the show is not complete) as the manga has much more to offer. I've heard that they aired this uncomplete version just to promote the manga and/or there was a problem that someone wanted to change the story but in the end the show is not complete and we never get to see Sakuragi Hanimichi at the peak of his abilities as at the end of the show he was still an amateur, more or less.

I'm scanning through a lot of good sports anime that are worth watching and this classic is one of them. Omg guys this anime is so friggin hilarious! You wouldn't imagine how I felt with my cheeks being stiff af from laughing...seriously...

If you liked Michael Jordon back in the day with Space Jam or follow up on basketball, you definitely should give this 1990s anime a chance y'all. It's so good to watch if you need a laugh or excitement in your life. You even don't have to like basketball either to not like this classic!!!

I am searching for the rest of the story for years
