Pretty bold claim.
Julian Smith
sometimes the truth is bold. i actually just want to talk about slam dunk since im rereading it
Adam Moore
Mitsui could have been the MC. He had a great arc.
Bentley Reyes
yeah i normally dont like the whole bad guy becomes friend trope but i fucking love the moving moments in slam dunk. cry every fucking time during the sennoh game when anzai talks about how sakuragi and rukawa are both progidies able to surpass yazawa and when "now is my time" come sup
Jaxon Cooper
Never seen this show, but always hear a ton of praise for it. How can a basketball anime be THAT good? Is it worth watching if you're not into it?
James Wood
admittedly ive never watched the anime but have read the manga 20 times or so by now. its very well made, even if youre not into sports or have never played it makes you wish you were a part of a team and gives you hope
Aaron Rodriguez
The manga/anime singlehandly made a lot of Japs basketball fans. Slam Dunk is the Yea Forums equivalent to Initial D.
Camden Ortiz
My first time playing 5v5 full court basketball was more hype than my first fuck.
Leo Moore
yeah iktf. miss playing pickup games at night one street courts and spending hours with your bros 3 on 3 while sharing a huge gatorade
Oliver Carter
also anyone know for sure if yazawa's death had to do with him being on drugs and driving or was it a drugged up driver hitting him somehow? always assumed the former but rereading the chapter now made me wonder
Luis Morgan
Well you've got me interested.
Aaron Rodriguez
I wish he would release new chapters of Real
Thomas Martin
fuck i remember cheering like crazy if i was on the bench for my team and getting a second wind if the crowd/bench was cheering loudly
Joshua Rivera
also one of the most iconic scenes
Mason Hill
It's definitely the best sports manga ever made. Won't argue with you there.
Dominic Davis
based taste. im a sucker for mitsuru adachi and H2 gets me in the feels every time but slam dunk is for sure my fav sports manga and prob my fav manga overall. eyeshield was fun but the fantastical elements took away from the heart of the series for me

Cooper Diaz
>anime never adapted it all
Fuck.
Carson Martin
Guys, was Slam Dunk really THAT big in Japan ?
Luis Green
the chounin exam and the haku/zabuza arcs were top tier and it had other great moments but it shit itself near the end
not a nip so idk but googling tells me it was really responsible for a basketball boom. its one of the most popular mangas of all time and pretty iconic esp considering japan likes baseball and boxing mangas a lot more
Easton Rodriguez
definitly one of the best. Even better than Ashita no joe, wich actually wins against Slam Dunk in terms of anime.
Tyler Miller

Ending of AnJ is in a league of its own, and I say this as a huge fan of SD. The ending is just perfect, from his loss to his final interaction with Yoko where he tells her he wants her to have his gloves then we get final panel.
Brody Martinez
yeah it truly was a fantastic end. it was like a perfected execution of the overdramatic and larger than life type of scene that the 60s-70s manga employed a lot. not saying thats not used anymore today but theres a lot of influence from back then and theres a different mood to it
Grayson Peterson
>*airplane noises*
This shit was hype as fuck.
Christian Howard
Slam Dunk legit has a shot at being the GOAT
Tyler Flores
I'm with you 100%. I spent most of my middle-high school years wrapped up in a sport I didn't care about, so Slam Dunk was even more important to me than most other things. It's probably my GOAT as far as written works go.
Noah Perry
Regarding sport mangas, I think ROOKIES is up there too.
Adam Cruz
Rookies is another one of my favorites. It's truly inspiring.
Lincoln Carter
Slam dunk and dragon ball was what made Shonen jump have 6 million issues a week. It wasn't until Naruto and one piece that they started seeing close to those numbers again.
Robert Watson
TASTE
Ethan Barnes
Rookies as a sports manga is way inferior compared to Slam Dunk, but I do admit its strongly compensated by it´s delinquent elements and Kawato´s positive determination in the first arc. I feel it´s has a more clear direction than Rokudenashi blues, but Rkudenashi blues despite going in circles is better because it does know hwo to go full delinquent without getting boring any damn second
Kevin Jones
It's honestly fucking amazing.
Aiden Anderson
Andrew Jenkins
How much did the anime adapt?
Lincoln Howard
It didn't include the tournament arc. Iirc it wasn't that long though. Basically a few games. Shohoku didn't make it that far but they beat the best team in the country.
Camden Thomas
That’s not fire punch
Jaxon Anderson
>blocks your path
Lucas Johnson
Sakuragi is GOAT and a genius!
Brody Sanchez
And also plagued with filler. I remember it taking legit 20 episodes for the final game. I don't see how one of the biggest manga never had a proper anime ending. Same goes for Rurouni Kenshin.
Lincoln Russell
Kuroko was fun but it doesn't even come close.
William Thomas
I wish the manga was a lot longer than it did. Why do sports manga always end right after highschool or getting to koshien/championships? H2 at least showed Koshien.
Ian Bailey
slam dunk for fujoshis and gaylords
Wyatt Adams
to this day i have never read a manga more voraciously than slam dunk. i positively devoured the volumes. from the point when the team started coming together till the end i was on a prolonged hype high.
team sports are just something else. i totally get what means. having a bum ankle that keeps me from experiencing that again is more depressing to me than it has any right to be. i do solo shit but it just doesn't quite cut it.
Justin Hughes
i was always tall for my age but more bookish and never went out much so i was also pretty fat but this made me want to learn basketball and even though i never got good it felt great sinking threes, getting boards, and making and ones. i havent played in years fuck..
Adam Roberts
Landon Cruz
>Is it worth watching if you're not into it?
Not at all. It's piss poor paced garbage. Even Kuroko is better. Inoue is a hack. Not even baiting.
Justin Reed
Aiden Green
i remember buying some lebrons 2s like a retard because i thought they looked cool but they were heavy as fuck. too bad i went shoe shopping with mommy instead of haruko though
wow
Luis Rivera
this manga had a couple of qts
Justin Ross
this newfag thinking slam dunk did not have mm ships.
Jace Rivera
ayako was my favorite miyagi had great taste and hair
Henry Hill
same. man i miss this shit.
Ryder Price
Aomine was the hottest one.
Levi Ross
finihsed my reread last night before passing out and it was just as good as all the others times. now to give myself a few months break before starting back over
Kayden Adams
I still prefer AnJ as far as sports manga and manga overall go. I don't even think Slam Dunk is better than REAL but since it will never finish it's hard to compare the two since the ending of Slam Dunk was amongst it's best bits.
I also really like Rookies but I have a boner for Morita. I must have read it about 7 times now.
James Flores
Highly overrated, it's like Rokudenashi Blues for a female audience.
Adam Gonzalez
It was literally the 6th-best selling manga of last year based off of reprints despite the fact it ended 25 years ago.
David Walker
>5s
>1s
>6s
>Cortez
Inoue had some good taste in sneakers.
Matthew Mitchell
I wish RokuBlues was as popular as SD but it's not meant to be.
Tyler Davis
Absoultely correct
Jordan Garcia
when scanlation finished
Mason Johnson
longspun matches
Aaron Clark
fair enough but it had my attention all throughout. the sannoh match is absolute GOAT tier even though most of their players are ugly/plain
Tyler Jenkins
So actually never then.
Jayden Jenkins
Is REAL good as well?
Bentley Jones
Yes, but the best arc/volume in REAL has nothing to do with Basketball. Then again REAL is more like Anj or Ping Pong where the story is much more focussed on character development and uses sports as a vehicle to do that, rather than being an actual "sports" manga like Slam Dunk.
Jacob Martinez
Ill die a happy man when i see the scainlations completed and IF an there was a resurgence of Delinquent manga and anime with all the glorus fist fights
Hudson Sanders
What's KnB's appeal?
