There are too many rumors about the new work of "Slam Dunk Master", but this time, it is really a hammer.
The official channel of Toei Animation released a trailer of only 30 seconds long, confirming that the new theatrical version of the animation of "Slam Dunk Master" will be released in 2022, and the current title has not been thought out, and the official name is, "The title is undecided".
This time, the trailer is basically in the form of black characters on a white background, showing the production team of this theatrical version, and finally giving a sketch of the Xiangbei team members gathered together...
The most shocking thing about this 30-second trailer is that in addition to the confirmation of the new theatrical version of "Slam Dunk Master" released in the fall of 2022, it is up to the director and screenwriter to be handled by Mr. Yuhiko Inoue.
Yuhiko Inoue is the author of the original Slam Dunk Master manga, and he is a manga artist. Manga artists and animation directors actually perform their respective duties, and everyone who is a manga artist and an anime director at the same time suddenly thinks of only classic masters such as Hayao Miyazaki, Osamu Tezuka, and Katsuyo Otomo. Among the manga authors in the Weekly Shonen JUMP department, there are also very few talents who can be both manga artists and animation directors.
For example, the theatrical version of "Detective Conan" is wonderful, but in fact, Mr. Tsuyoshi Aoyama only participates in the work as the original painting or producer, and cannot direct the animation staff to achieve the specific details.
The reason is that although they are all cartoon images, the storyboard performance of manga and the storyboard performance of animation are completely different, and the creation of moving images has its own unique set of rules, which is why there are relatively few talents who are both manga artists and animators even in the anime kingdom of Japan.
Of course, the original author personally handled the animation, but also has its overwhelming benefit, that is, the director and the original author of the communication link, in theory, as long as the production force is worthy, you can make the most restored original intention of the work, but this also involves the communication of the work team, the cartoonist can control the production team of the animation, which is actually facing the problem.
However, it is said that 20 years ago, the reason why the TV version of "Slam Dunk Master" failed to produce a sequel was that Yuhiko Inoue was not satisfied with the quality of the TV at that time. (I also very much agree that, from the current point of view, the performance of "Slam Dunk Master" is ordinary and the rhythm is too procrastinating), and the cooperation with Toei has been interrupted. And now, Mr. Inoue yuhiko has once again cooperated with Toei Animation, which should be "regardless of the previous suspicions", and Toei is willing to give the director's position to Yuhiko Inoue, feeling that he has made the greatest concession, (or to embarrass him?). Meaning you can't do it yourself? ）
Of course, in addition to Yuhiko Inoue, I also saw the figure of the industry masters such as The master Ehara Yasuyuki, plus the golden signboard of Toei, it can be imagined that the new theatrical version of "Slam Dunk Master" should be very careful in production.
Then there is a suspense, the title is not determined, will it just gather all the production staff? In this way, the production cycle of more than 1 year will be very, very tight? Unlikely, because this theatrical version I remember earlier there was intelligence, but why has not yet determined the title, there is no actual picture appearing is indeed more interesting, is it the official has done a good job, but this time only announced some hanging appetite? I think there is a possibility, wait for the second more complete trailer to see the film to judge.
This work is determined to be released in the fall of 2022, is it a blockbuster news for friends who pursue feelings?
