The Big Picture After a long, long wait, GKIDS finally decided to allow anime fans to look forward to a physical release of The First Slam Dunk. The movie premiered in theaters in late 2023, and the Blu-ray release is scheduled for June 25, 2024. Distributed by Shout! Studios, the edition will feature exciting bonus features, as well as some treats for collectors.
Fans of the Slam Dunkanime series already had enough reasons to anticipate the movie release, but many were surprised by the film's quality and the fact that it works as a perfect entry point to the story. The First Slam Dunk was featured in several "Best Of" lists from 2023, and it won in the Best Animated Film category at the Japanese Academy Awards. The animated movie was also the highest-grossing domestic film in Japan in 2023.
Slam Dunk is one of the early manga/anime titles that became popular alongside titles like Dragon Ball Z and Yu Yu Hakusho. The manga series ran from 1990 to 1996, and they have been compiled into 31 tankōbon volumes that sold over 120 million copies in Japan.
