The OG Slam Dunk Is Coming to Netflix

(SPOT.ph) Slam Dunk is coming to Netflix. Yes, as in the original anime that probably made your childhood so much better.  The nostalgic series is coming back into our lives on March 31 courtesy of the streaming giant. We're ready to watch nail-biting games draw on through multiple episodes once more—this time without having to wait days or weeks for the next one.

Slam Dunk lands on Netflix PH on March 31

Think it's too good to be true? Take a look at your Netflix's Coming Soon tab to see the March 31 date. A peek at the title's page as of writing shows that there are "Seasons coming Friday." We're not sure if that means it will be all episodes, but we've got our fingers crossed.

Slam Dunk follows red-haired, ridiculously tall Hanamichi Sakuragi after he joins his high school basketball team thanks to a crush's suggestion. Raise your hands if you were the kid that loved watching the delinquent face off rivals with his Shohoku teammates, probably bringing that energy to your own neighborhood basketball leagues.

This anime is based on a manga series by Takehiko Inoue, which ran in the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine from October 1990 to June 1996. The anime, meanwhile, first came out in 1993 from Toei Animation and has a total of 101 episodes.

You probably already got your hands on The First Slam Dunk movie, a feature-length title that came out in December 2022. We say might as well get to streaming the OG, too, for the complete experience.
