A special livestream for The First Slam Dunk anime movie revealed on Friday the main cast, theme songs, music composers, and the first trailer. The film is scheduled to open in theaters on December 3.

Cast
Hanamichi Sakuragi: Subaru Kimura (Jujutsu Kaisen)
Ryouta Miyagi: Shuugo Nakamura (Blue Lock)
Hisashi Mitsui: Jun Kasama (Haikyuu!! To the Top)
Kaede Rukawa: Shinichirou Kamio (Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. 2nd Season)
Takenori Akagi: Kenta Miyake (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 3: Stardust Crusaders)

Satoshi Takebe (Coquelicot-zaka kara) and TAKUMA (10-FEET) are composing the music. Punk-rock band The Birthday (Zombie-Loan) is performing the opening theme and 10-FEET will perform the ending theme "Dai Zero Kan."

Takehiko Inoue (original creator) is helming and penning the script at Toei Animation and DandeLion Animation Studio. Yasuyuki Ebara (Koutetsujou no Kabaneri) is designing the characters.

Inoue serialized the basketball manga in Weekly Shounen Jump between 1990 and 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.

Toei Animation adapted the manga into a 101-episode television anime that aired from October 1993 to March 1996. The animation studio also produced four short films featuring side stories during the television series' broadcast.

I know. I mean they can use 3D CGI, but not make the whole work in this. It looks awful.

im just implying i rather watch this good level of 3DCG than bad 2D animation

In this case you are right.

even Attack on Titan so called most popular anime worldwide did not escape 3DCG though and look at how mid the 2D animation of the final season is

same with One Punch Man season 2 so its easier said than done

Good, bit the fact that this is 3D CGI movie is awful. They better make normal TV series without all these 3D.

leaks of the final 7 minutes of the movie is out here https://www.reddit.com/r/RealSlamDunk/comments/zbfjap/some_internet_chatter_about_the_first_slam_dunk/iyqtrvz/

the 3DCG looks great they seem to use motion capture to make it more realistic

I kinda wish it was traditional animation, but Dragon Ball Super Hero ended up impressing me, so we'll see.

The drawing is very bad and disappointing, the old anime is a hundred times better than it

I really want to watch this movie but anyone please tell me if this is a reboot or sequel or maybe a original movie. If this is a sequel I will read manga uptill this point or will watch the old anime

Either read the whole manga or watch the anime and then follow the rest in the manga. check mangaupdate to see where it deviates. The art in the last arc (wich would probably be covered by the movie) is outstanding and deserves to be appreciated in that format. it also help the pacing is fast.

I don't think that's how anime adaptation opportunity works. Plus it's Takehiko Inoue first time so obvious it would be a movie instead of series. Katsuhiro Otomo also started out with shorts and movies, so it makes sense for mangaka will not outright work on tv series

I hope they make TV series too.

The cgi looks good tbh. Probably may look even better in actual anime since it improved in dbs super hero too.

I should start watching the old anime before it comes out. Who knows it may be a sequal

The CGI looks pretty cool to be honest. I suppose one could expect this project to be more than just a one off thing if the original voice actors aren't involved. I guess this project isn't really solely aiming to evoke nostalgia for the ip.

They made movie to grab the casj. It is disgusting.

As the cgi defender I cannot defend this. Which is sad.

Even the CGI defender cannot defend the CGI on this one 😭😭😭

I am the guy who likes and enjoys Ajin, Sidonia, and the Eden (ONA) for example. All of them have positives due to CGI/3D, but this I will never defend. CGI needs to be like how the Arknight game trailers work for the 2.5 3 and 3.5 anniversery. This just looks uncanny.
