THE SLAM DUNK PHENOMENA

I'm just amazed at how Slam Dunk got many people crazy over it. It even got my mom who never watched anime hooked on the series. She even watched the episode when Shohoku won against Ryonan twice. Believe me, she wasn't one to watch again something she'd already seen. ^^ Even my classmates who had no interest in basketball what-so-ever suddenly started playing the sport after watching the series. I guess it's just so different from other anime series where the good guys beat the bad guys or anime with sappy love stories. *ehem-ehem* (No offense meant, Len-kyut! Luvya!) Another factor is the drawing. Inoue-sensei's art is just so unique. Kind of realistic anime, ne? ^^ It's possible to see a guy who looks just like Rukawa or Fujima in the streets or even in your own neighbourhood. Maybe you could even bump into a Mitsui look-a-like while waiting in line at a fastfood chain. Hehehe. How I wish that would happen to me. Anyways, enough with my blabbings. All I can say is, Inoue-sensei sugoi wa! Thanks for the wonderful and totally cool anime that is Slam Dunk.
