Kingmenu & Shockwave Presents: Slam Dunk Episode: 01 Basketball Genius Birth?

Hey Fans of Anime, here is an episode of one of the hardest shows to see here in the U.S. The nortorious Slam Dunk Anime Series, I notice this fact for years on the internet…for some reason this show is blocked from viewers here…there is no links or sites with this, unless you purchase the DVD..which will set you back some if you have the cash for this..but otherwise it’s a pretty good show depicting Basketball in high school. This is from the Wikepedia

Slam Dunk (stylized as SLAM DUNK) is a Japanese sports manga series written and illustrated by Takehiko Inoue. It was serialized in Shueisha‘s shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from October 1990 to June 1996, with the chapters collected into 31 tankōbon volumes. It tells the story of a basketball team from Shōhoku High School in the Shōnan area of Japan.

The manga was adapted into an anime television series by Toei Animation which aired from October 1993 to March 1996 and has been broadcast worldwide, enjoying much popularity particularly in Japan, several other Asian countries and Europe.

Slam Dunk has 170 million copies in circulation, making it the seventh best-selling manga series in history. In 1994, it received the 40th Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen category. In 2010, Inoue received special commendations from the Japan Basketball Association for helping popularize basketball in Japan. Plot: Hanamichi Sakuragi is a delinquent and the leader of a gang. Sakuragi is very unpopular with girls, having been rejected an astonishing fifty times. In his first year at Shohoku High School, he meets Haruko Akagi, the girl of his dreams, and is overjoyed when she is not repulsed or scared of him like all the other girls he has asked out. Haruko, recognizing Sakuragi’s athleticism, introduces him to the Shohoku basketball team. Sakuragi is reluctant to join the team at first, as he has no prior experience in sports and thinks that basketball is a game for losers because his fiftieth rejection was in favor of a basketball player. Despite his extreme immaturity and fiery temper, proves to be a natural athlete and joins the team, mainly in the hopes of impressing and getting closer to Haruko. An anime series, consisting of 101 episodes, was produced by Toei Animation and directed by Nobutaka Nishizawa.[29] It was first broadcast on TV Asahi from October 16, 1993 to March 23, 1996. It was later aired on the satellite television network, Animax, in addition to four animated movies produced. The anime followed the manga storyline, but left out the National Tournament games. Toei compiled the episodes into a series of seventeen DVDs which were released in Japan from December 10, 2004 to May 21, 2005.[30][31] Toei once again collected the series in three DVD boxes during 2008. All the three boxes have a total of seventeen discs.[32][33][34] To celebrate 20 years since its broadcast, the anime was released on Blu-ray format.[35]

They mention the show was seen worldwide..I disagree, it was never shown here for some reason, you would think the country that originated the sport of basketball, would be able to view this? But no! Well that changed now cause Kingmenu always manage to get what fans are always wanting to see..and yes we got the first episode just for you so enjoy! We will periodically try to obtain more episodes of this Gem…so keep your eyes posted for more, and again we thank you fans for your support always KM.
