Anyone who loves the genre of sport and anime has definitely heard of “Slam Dunk”. Long before shows like Kuruko No Basket, Diamond No Ace, and Haikyuu made an entrance, there was one all-star anime series that every kid from the 90s has watched and loved – Slam Dunk. As its name clearly suggests, the series is based on Basketball, and its funny moments and the character build-up is what truly gives it a new life. With an 8.7/10 rating from IMDb, it’s safe to say that Slam dunk isn’t your ordinary anime but a lot more. If you’re one of those, who don’t mind old animation and prefer the quality of the story more than the animation, then slam dunk is definitely the anime for you. Therefore, if you’re interested to know more about slam dunk and what all it’s about, make sure to read the entire post!

A Brief Introduction To The Plot
The story of the show revolves around a problematic high schooler named Hanamichi Sakuragi. Although Sakuragi is popular in the troublesome delinquent crowd, the same however cannot be said for the girls. Known for his extreme temper and outbursts, and on top of that, being rejected by over 50 girls makes Sakuragi an even more troublesome guy than he already is.
However, Sakuragi’s life completely changes when he meets the boy’s basketball club manager, a beautiful girl from his school named Haruko Akagi. Unlike the other girls, Haruko, instead of being scared or repulsed by Sakuragi, actually talks normally to him, and she ends up introducing him to the basketball team.
After seeing Haruko’s behaviour, Sakuragi decides to join the basketball team in order for him to get closer to her. However, it turns out that despite knowing nothing about basketball, Sakuragi’s rowdiness and Yankee energy makes him a natural at the sport.
Litlle by little, Sakuragi ends up falling in love with Haruko and realises his love for Basketball. However, Sakuragi isn’t the only new player in town.
Make sure to watch Sakuragi’s journey in basketball and see him making a slam dunk! This is one story that you cannot miss.
