I have been a fan of the anime since they broadcast it on television 20 years ago. This film was supposed to highlight the most important match of the series, Sannoh High, the basketball team of Akita prefecture that has been the defending national champion for 3 years and They are considered the top high school team in Japan. Unfortunately, in my opinion, this did not happen, because an in-depth analysis of the history of Ryota Miyagi was inserted into the various moments of the match. After the end of the series they made 4 films, which add nothing to the original series, where in

my opinion more in-depth analysis could have been done on the most important performers. In short, after the end of the series there was a cosmic nothingness, to find out about the events of the national championship I had to read the manga and I found the match with Toyotama (first match of the championship) very exciting. The match against Sannoh is very beautiful and exciting, but in the film they cut parts to introduce the past Ryota Miyagi. The frenzy and excitement of the match doesn't live up to the manga, or the other matches in the anime itself. While I was watching the film, the cartoons of the manga came to mind, all the time the flash was continuous and the beauty of the film was lost in the memories of when I read the manga for the first time, and I discovered the dynamics of this wonderful match. If you're a fan of Slam Dunk, I still recommend watching The First Slam Dunk, but I still have a bad taste in my mouth for having waited so many years and finally recognizing that the manga is much more compelling. The shot that made me smile mockingly and melancholy was when they framed Kainan, but they were so far away you couldn't even see his face, just the color of his uniform.The clash between Eiji Sawakita and Kaede Rukawa in the film is very chaotic, while in the manga it is exciting and exciting, better edited, at the level of the normal series.Finally I can say that the beauty of this film is based a lot on the original series and the manga (the match with Toyota but if you haven't read the manga you'll miss it), however in my opinion it should have added much more. In my opinion, the most beautiful and enthralling match remains the one against Ryonan, stupendous and enthralling. The only thing that this film added and that was perhaps worth waiting 20 years for, is the high five between the two great rivals Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa, but taking that away the anime is 10 times better.
