SlamDunk is produced and distributed in the Philippines by Sterling Animation International. The story is about the hardcourt escapdes of the endearingly hapless Hanamichi and his quest to win the game and the girl. The show even gets to sneak in a few basketball tips and lessons.
The show has undergone some production changes. It is now handled by a new dubbing team, and they have been doing a pretty good job. The characters use their last names now to refer to one another, just just like in the original Japanese. Some of the voice actors though, who are probably not used to saying Japanese words, have a tendency to misprounouce the names sometimes. But, I'm sure this will improve with time. The quality of the sound is also better since the background music no longer drowns out the dialogue which was a big problem with the old dub.
This show is too hilarious for words! Hanamichi's love for troublemaking gives Slamdunk an excuse to use a lot of Tagalog slang w/c makes the wordplay really funny. The voice actors also give their all in their performances and they are able to give life to their characters. Slamdunk is also a refreshing change from all the superhero shows currently on the air. Most of the anime set in the ordinary world w/c were shown in the Phils. were the shojo soap-opera type. Slamdunk is really something new. I think that its one of the best anime shows that have been shown here. I'm one viewer who hopes to see SlamDunk go on for a long time.
Hanamichi Sakuragi, infamous for his temper, massive height, and fire-red hair, enrolls in Shohoku High, hoping to finally get a girlfriend and break his record of being rejected 50 consecutive times in middle school. His notoriety precedes him, however, leading to him being avoided by most students. Soon, after certain events, Hanamichi is left with two unwavering thoughts: "I hate basketball," and "I desperately need a girlfriend."
One day, a girl named Haruko Akagi approaches him without any knowledge of his troublemaking ways and asks him if he likes basketball. Hanamichi immediately falls head over heels in love with her, blurting out a fervent affirmative. She then leads him to the gymnasium, where she asks him if he can do a slam dunk. In an attempt to impress Haruko, he makes the leap, but overshoots, instead slamming his head straight into the blackboard. When Haruko informs the basketball team's captain of Hanamichi's near-inhuman physical capabilities, he slowly finds himself drawn into the camaraderie and competition of the sport he had previously held resentment for.
