Anime Limited and Toei Animation are bringing the 2022 animated sports movie ‘The First Slam Dunk’ to UK and Irish cinemas on August 30, 2023.

Written and directed by Takehiko Inoue, the film follows the underdog Shohoku High School’s basketball team as they face off against fierce rivals in the National High School Tournament. The voice cast includes Shugo Nakamura, Jun Kasama, Shinichiro Kamio, Subaru Kimura, Kenta Miyake, and Maaya Sakamoto.

Synopsis: Ryota Miyagi and basketball have always been one thing. His love for this sport was transmitted to him by his older brother Sota, who died in an accident at sea when Ryota was still very young. He is the point guard of Shohoku, a team from the Kanagawa prefecture which gained a spot at Inter-High despite being unknown. Ryota is ready, together with his teammates, to face the “unbeatable” Sannoh, the champion team of the local tournament.

‘The First Slam Dunk’ will be shown in Japanese with English subtitles or English dubbed, and you can register your interest now on slamdunkfilm.co.uk.
