This anime is straight 10 in every aspects for me. I had watched first time when I was 6 six years old with its limited episodes on TV. Slam Dunk is the reason why I started playing basketball and loved that sport so much. It increases popularity of basket not only in Japan but in other countries.

The story is evolved around our tensai basketball player Hanamichi Sakuragi. At the beginning he is person who hates basketball a lot (I do not want to give its reason because of spoilers, you will figure it out at the very beginning of the serie). But that attitude ... was changed when he met with Haruko. Through the whole serie it is amazing to see how he develops from a punk to a decent basketball player. Anime gives that feeling splendidly. It is like something inside you is developing with every improvement he made. It can be emotionally or mentally.

Characters have also strong position in here. Their background and goals were given to viewers very well as well as introduction of some of them. Also their relationships are unbreakable.

In art based it really looks old school and I like it so much. So much 90s are all over it. The most lovable thing is funny appearance of their faces in some situations. It fits to the characters perfectly. I wacthed a lot anime, Slam Dunk makes this situation simply awesome.


All in all Slam Dunk is my first anime that I watched. It was the start of everything for me. And it will be always in my hearth as my first and the best anime.

Story : 5

To start with I'd like to talk about the story. At the very beggining unfortunete things has happened to Ganta and he was sent to Deadmen Wonderland as it was written in synopsis. The concept was pretty interesting at first and it made curious for going further. However the lack of this anime was unsufficient information for the background of some of the side chracacters. To be honest this made kinda dissapointed. And for my perspective the whole story could have been managed much more convenient ways.

Art: 7

In general I like drawings of ambience, especially the facility, and also drawings and colorings of ... the characters. The only thing that I do not like is desing and animation of the powers.

Sound: 8

There is not much to say about comment. I did enjoy from it especially voices. Shiro, what a lovely voice that she has. It reminds me Mayuri from Steins Gate (of course I know that both of the characters was dubbed by the same artist).

Characters: 7

I like most of the characters in this anime. Some of them was introduced well but on the other hand some of them was not. This why it could not go far from 7 points.


Overall: 6

To sum up, if it was set as more than one season I believe that producers could manage to make a decent story. It looked like it was fast forwarding . Lack of information can create frustration on you.

Also strong stories bounds people to anime even if its characters are strong a poor story cannot do it properly.
