The big screen adaptation of Takehiko Inoue's manga Slam Dunk, The First Slam Dunk, took a long time to be made, the project dating back to the end of the TV anime and the dazzling success of its DVD release , in 2003. It therefore took almost twenty years for the film to be made. Time taken to refine the image, the animation and especially the story, to achieve a total success, both a reinterpretation of the original cartoon and a total novelty. Fans and laypeople were won over!
The 4K Ultra HD edition of the film seen at web retailers was ultimately a false lead. The First Slam Dunk will only be available on Blu-Ray and DVD on March 6. Publisher: Wild Side.
