 Toei Animation opened an official website for a new anime film for Takehiko Inoue's Slam Dunk manga on Thursday.Inoue serialized the basketball manga in Weekly Shounen Jump from 1990 to 1996. Shueisha published the manga in 31 volumes between 1991 and 1996 and republished 24 new edition volumes under the Jump Comics Deluxe imprint in 2001–2002. As of August 2018, Slam Dunk has over 121.4 million copies of its volumes in print. Toei Animation adapted the manga into a television anime that aired for 101 episodes from October 1993 to March 1996. The animation studio also produced four short films featuring side stories during the television series' broadcast. Geneon Entertainment USA, in partnership with Toei, released the first 20 episodes across four DVD volumes in North America in 2005 before ceasing distribution. Crunchyroll currently streams the anime with subtitles. Gutsoon! Entertainment published the first five manga volumes in English under the Raijin Comics Imprint in 2003–2004 before going defunct. VIZ Media reacquired the series and published all 31 volumes from 2008 to 2013. The manga has also been published in multiple foreign languages, including Chinese, Spanish, and French. Slam Dunk won the 40th Shogakukan Manga Award for best Shounen manga in 1994 and was voted the greatest manga of all time at the 10th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2006. Synopsis Hanamichi Sakuragi, a tall, boisterous teenager with flame-red hair and physical strength beyond his years, is eager to put an end to his rejection streak of 50 and finally score a girlfriend as he begins his first year of Shohoku High. However, his reputation for delinquency and destructiveness precedes him, and most of his fellow students subsequently avoid him like the plague. As his first day of school ends, he is left with two strong thoughts: "I hate basketball" and "I need a girlfriend." Haruko Akagi, ignorant of Hanamichi's history of misbehavior, notices his immense height and unwittingly approaches him, asking whether or not he likes basketball. Overcome by the fact that a girl is speaking to him, the red-haired giant blurts out a yes despite his true feelings. At the gym, Haruko asks if he can do a slam dunk. Though a complete novice, Hanamachi palms the ball and makes the leap...but overshoots, slamming his head into the backboard. Amazed by his near-inhuman physical abilities, Haruko quickly notifies the school's basketball captain of his feat. With this, Hanamichi is unexpectedly thrust into a world of competition for a girl he barely knows, but he soon discovers that there is perhaps more to basketball than he once thought.

| Holy shit, never expected this. Will they adapt final arc that wasn't adapted in tv series? Anyway my body is ready. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| I want the final game adapted. |

| Holy shit! Tensai Sakuragi Hanamichi is back! |

| HYPEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Finally after all these years, my very 1st anime has risen to the grave!!! If not for this anime, i would have no interest in bball whatsoever!!! Freakin HYPE!!! |

| So we are gonna get where the anime left off in right before the Nationals? |
| Ayyy, this is sweet news. Actually re-read this a few months back. Whether it's a continuation followed with a remake or whatever, I'm cool with it. Now, shonen manga gods... a Gash Bell remake pls |
| I'm shook The final arc seems too long for a movie, but I'm excited for whatever comes around. Still low-key disappointed when I read movie instead TV series:'( |

| I hope Inoue gets a new-found inspiration to continue with Vagabond again. Even if it's just Musashi and Kojirou facing off in a basketball shootout match after which Inoue will reveal that all the weapons drawn in the manga were actually metaphors for basketballs. |
| The tensai is back!! Though I wonder what the movie will cover. There's around 9 volumes worth of unadapted content, but that's way too much for a movie. Shohoku vs. Sannoh was around 7 volumes I think, but even that'll add up to a 3+ hour movie. They'll have to cut some stuff out, but I don't mind as this is meant to be a movie experience. Still though, maybe Toei can consider a full TV anime adaptation during it's 40th anniversary ;_; |

Never seen the series, but considering how many episodes there are, I thought the anime adaptation did a full 100% complete adaptation of the source material... is this not the case? Wanted to know because I m doubtful if I should go for the anime or the manga. |
 |
| Let´s gooooooo!!!! Now, it´s a movie, so I kinda expect it´s going to be the nationals. I wish it was the whole thing (like Toei is doing with Dai right now) but a movie also means good animation, which is a must for this beauty of a manga. |

The anime adaption finish on when they're going to the Nationals.Despite have so much episode,it still wasn't enough to adapt 100% since those important game mostly took around 10 - 15 episodes and the tournament only started around episode 40. |
| It's been so long since I heard of Slam Dunk. Movie continuation is all right to test how many will come back to the series. |
| Never read or seen slam dunk but I should eventually Wonder how the art would of improved since the 90's |
| Exciting news, gotta love that we live in an age of anime where any announcement is possible.

| A movie released by Toei? I want to be hyped but I'm not too sure about this. I would've preferred Production I.G. to have done a remake from start to finish instead. |
