This is a tribute to the first ever manga that i ever read, and the first ever collections that i had since i was still a teenage, and i always enjoy reading this series -
Is the anime any different from the manga? I've read it but watching other animes now taking up my time.
I wanna cut my hair like Sakuragi
-
nah, there is not much different at all, except it contain 10 ep of fillers thats allOriginally posted by cApitaland:Is the anime any different from the manga? I've read it but watching other animes now taking up my time.

too bad the anime ended early...
-
I loved both the manga and the anime, and bought the soundtrack too.
I just didn't like how the artist changed his drawing style towards the end of the manga series. It took me a while to adjust -
read the manga when i was in secondary sch.
that time is like only malay want to play soccer, basketball is like "For chinese only".
later got try watching anime but dont really like it.
They make it like the basketball court is as big as a football field.....
from one side to another side can take so long. -
very funny..
think I have re-read it for 12 times in my life liao -
Till now this is still the best jap manga I have read so far. Love the drawing, plot and music v much
-
I have the entire comic collection.
Though the story and settings are pretty simplistic compared to other stories, like Dear Boys etc...the characters themselves make the series. -
do they hav vcd for the national tournement? cos the vcd ends at xiangyang/lingnan final
-
The anime actually ends with a filler of the Shohoku team versus a province all-stars with Sakuragi providing the winning shot. This was not in the comic.Originally posted by RaTtY8l:do they hav vcd for the national tournement? cos the vcd ends at xiangyang/lingnan final
The anime never went into the national tournament. Sadly.
-
just like hanamichi, i hate rukuwa!
rukuwa is over-rated in the whole series n i suspect he is gay! -
The most memorable moment for me will have to be Hai nan Vs Xiang bei where ying mu slam the ball at the last moment although mu was blocking him under the basket. Was v touch by the way they want to win the match.

one of ying mu's best performance in the series.Originally posted by SpeedStar:The most memorable moment for me will have to be Hai nan Vs Xiang bei where ying mu slam the ball at the last moment although mu was blocking him under the basket. Was v touch by the way they want to win the match.
n he was weeping dat his team lost due to him blaming himself for the error he caused. -
Is this anime and manga worth watching or reading?
I looked at how long the series was so I hestitated. I scare later like 20th Century Boys..must wait long long for next publish manga. -
i'm kinda sad dat the manga ended in a hurry after shohoku beating the former national champion n yet kena thrashed in the next match.
somemore it's sound like it's career ending for hanamichi as a basketball player. -
Yap. What I like about them is the passion and desire to win the championship although they r just a small fry junior high. Each another player join in the basketball team because they they love basket ball and they want to fufill their dream by winning the inter school chamionship.Originally posted by 798:one of ying mu's best performance in the series.

I have to admit I pick up basket ball after reading the comic although I used to play soccer in school only ard 14 yr ago -
Its a must read manga. I will suggest u read the manga instead of anime, bcos the amine has a lot of part repeating. And for ur info, the manga has already finish its series, so u dont have to worry abt the next pulish thingOriginally posted by LyonK:Is this anime and manga worth watching or reading?

I feel more sad bcos I am not able to see the jokes they crack between the team mates. I love the part which the 4 team mates all fail in their exams and was force to study at chi mu house.

the anime ended on a sad note, rumours has it that the author got bored and decided to just let the team lose after they defeated the previous year no.1..
