The first trailer for the new theatrical version of the basketball manga "The First Slam Dunk" (tentative title) was released today and is set to hit Japanese theaters on December 3rd of this year. Slam Dunk is a basketball manga by Yuhiko Inoue that ran from 1990 to 1996, with a TV anime adaptation released in 1993. By mid-2018, over 120 million copies had been sold in Japan, making it one of the most influential manga of modern times.
The film version by Toei Animation is being produced in collaboration with DandeLion Animation Studio, which has been responsible for many 3DCG productions, and the trailer also showcases the current 3D visuals with 2D-like rendering.
The trailer only features the main characters of the Shohoku team, not the opposing players, but judging by the red away jerseys, it appears to be based on the final chapter of the original manga's national tournament arc.
Crunchyroll streams the series and describes the story as follows:
Hanamichi Sakuragi is a delinquent who has been rejected by girls for a long time. After enrolling at Shohoku High School, Hanamichi becomes interested in a girl named Haruko, who loves basketball.
