Netflix has announced that the movie THE FIRST SLAM DUNK by Takehiko Inoue, will be available on the platform in the US starting August 25.
Official announcement:
The original Slam Dunk TV anime, which aired from 1993 to 1996, also inspired four spin-off anime films. You can watch the entire series right now on Crunchyroll.
THE FIRST SLAM DUNK premiered in Japan on December 3, 2022, in both regular and IMAX theaters, with a later expansion to Dolby Cinema screens on December 10.
GKIDS describes the movie:
Shohoku’s “speedster” and point guard, Ryota Miyagi, always plays with brains and lightning speed, running circles around his opponents while feigning composure. Born and raised in Okinawa, Ryota had a brother who was three years older. Following in the footsteps of his older brother, who was a famous local player from a young age, Ryota also became addicted to basketball.
In his second year of high school, Ryota plays with the Shohoku High School basketball team along with Sakuragi, Rukawa, Akagi, and Mitsui as they take the stage at the Inter-High School National Championship. And now, they are on the brink of challenging the reigning champions, Sannoh Kogyo High School.
