Hello everyone, I'm Soozy the Tin Man. Yesterday, a shocking news stirred the hearts of many old boys - Japanese manga artist Yuhiko Inoue and Toei Animation Company announced that "Slam Dunk Master" will produce a movie version - yes, the Slam Dunk Master anime that has been violated for 25 years has finally returned. However, don't be in a hurry to shout "Ye Qing Hui", in the spirit of rational questioning, this iron sheet lists 5 major questions, welcome to discuss together:
As we all know, "Slam Dunk Master" has not been launched since the Toei version of TV anime in 1996, which is related to the unpleasantness between Inoue and Toei. However, this time, Inoue's old man abandoned his previous suspicions and held hands with Toei again, which really surprised everyone. Why is this point in time?
Tin Pi believes that this has a very direct relationship with the popularity of "Devil's Blade": at the end of 2020, "Devil's Blade Infinity Train Theater Edition" broke the first Japanese box office record maintained by "Spirited Away" for 18 years with a box office of 31.72 billion yen, becoming the new box office champion in Japan.
The story of "Devil's Blade" is also simple, nothing more than the protagonist's routine of fighting monsters and upgrading all the way, but the well-made and tense anime has helped it become a phenomenon-level national manga.
This is very similar to "Attack on Titan": the popularity of "Giant" is absolutely inseparable from the sensational effect of anime broadcasts: many chapters in comic books are fast-paced and condensed into dozens of minutes of anime, coupled with shocking interpretations of 3D effects, dubbing and soundtracks of professional voice actors, and brainwashed theme songs, all of which are more pleasing to today's young people who like fragmented, fast-paced entertainment life.
In the 1990s, when paper comic books were dominant and animation technology was relatively backward, it was difficult to assert that anime could make a comic. But now, without the drive of anime, even if it is an old word-of-mouth manga, it is difficult to regain its former glory, and many manga that are regarded as classics by the older generation are scorned and dismissed by the young people of the "Heisei generation". Perhaps it is precisely this, coupled with to the emotion and understanding of Toei Company, that has made Inoue change his mind, after all, the times have really changed.
25 years ago, the "Slam Dunk Master" anime, talking about the Shonbei team boarding the Shinkansen to participate in the national competition, came to an abrupt end, and now it has restarted the anime again, and countless netizens have speculated that it is to continue the storyline of the national competition.
However, the national competition involved two games: the Battle of Fengyu and the Battle of The King of Mountains. It is almost certain that such a top comic IP will be condensed into two games in one movie, and it is most likely to choose only one of them. Although the voice of The Mountain King War is the highest, from the standpoint of the film company, making Feng Yu Zhan first, not only making a lot of money, but also satisfying the appetite of hundreds of millions of fans for the final Mountain King War, is not it a more reasonable business logic?
Of course, there is also a possibility that Inoue will compile an original storyline. For example, there are Japanese netizens who opened their minds: after the end of the national competition, the Shonbei team sent away Akagi and Kisuki who graduated, and others prepared for the summer league. Coach Anxi arranged a practice match between The Xiangbei team and Mingpeng Industry (Coach Anxi and Mingpeng Industrial's coach are old acquaintances). Sakuragi Hanamichi has always regarded Mori Shigehiro as the opponent he most wants to defeat besides Kaede Kawakawa, but the two have never fought directly, and it has to be said that it is a major regret in the manga, the Shonbei team led by Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kaede Yorikawa in his second year of high school, and the duel with Mori Shigehiro's famous friend Industries, is indeed full of looks.
After learning the news that "Slam Dunk Master" will launch a movie version, many Japanese netizens expressed their desire to gather the original version of the voice actor. After all, the voice acting of the voice actor has become an irreplaceable memory.
However, after all, it has been 25 years, and many years of whispering in those years have now become middle-aged uncles. Taking the voice actors of the Shonbei team as an example, although The CV Kusao of Sakuragi Hanamichi, the CV of Kaede Yasukawa, and the CV of Mitsui Shou are still active in the dubbing line, but now that they are 50 years old Ogi-san, their voice lines have changed, can they still reproduce the classic voice of that year? In addition, there are some dubbings, such as Saeko's CV, which has faded out of the dubbing world, and Kenji Fujima's CV Koji Tsujiya has passed away, and it is almost unrealistic to want to get together with the original team.

Nowadays, many anime movies are popular to find popular entertainment industry small fresh meat to dub, in order to maximize commercial gimmicks and box office results, but there are also many cases of failure due to unprofessional dubbing and word of mouth. In this regard, many dunk master fans have strongly appealed, and resolutely do not want to see a "small fresh meat" dubbing.

In the comics 25 years ago, basketball games also used the old version of the rules of the basketball league, that is, the game was divided into the first and second halves, each 20 minutes, and the three-second zone was trapezoidal. Today's international basketball rules have been changed to 4 seasons of 10 minutes each, the three-second zone is rectangular, and the offensive time is shortened to 24 seconds. However, if the movie adheres to the original flavor of the comic and adopts the old version of basketball rules, it is a novelty for the post-00s young people who have become accustomed to basketball rules today.
Speaking of "Slam Dunk Master", our minds can't help but echo those popular classic melodies: "Want to say loudly I love you" makes our blood boil, "Just stare at you", "Capture wonderful moments" let us reminisce about love, "Until the end of the world" sings the indomitable and shouting of the adult world... These melodies have become an inseparable part of "Slam Dunk Master", will the film version reinterpret these classic tracks? If there is a new track, will it be performed by the original band, or will it be sung by a new singer? Can the new song become a popular classic like the previous tracks? These are all worth looking forward to.
All right! Regarding some questions about the movie version of "Slam Dunk Master", The Tin Man will say this first. Whether you think it will continue to write youth or destroy the classic, this anime that carries the youth of countless people must be worthy of our good expectations. It is believed that with the gradual advancement of film production, more and more intelligence will be disclosed.
Of course, The Tin Man believes that for the movie version of "Slam Dunk Master", you old iron must have more and better ideas, so share them with us in the message area!
