SLAM DUNK

Yeah so you all must know that I recently read it (as in in May.... during my exam time.... XD ahahaha.) and LOVED IT

IT'S SO READABLE. AND REREADABLE. Even after a billion times I am still reading and laughing at the same jokes.

I sort of stopped for a while because of other things <_< (Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2.. >_> etc)

BUT!

In the recent Ani-Com con thingy, I picked up 7 volumes of the KANZENBAN (complete edition) (out of 24?)

I WILL COLLECT THEM ALL!

ANYWAY, THE ART WAS BEAUTIFUL and I was reinspired to read, laugh, talk, write again. I might even try drawing... T_T Inoue Takehiko is SO good. D:

Oh, and I downloaded REAL vol. 7 in Chinese but that is sorta off topic >_>

DISCUSS SLAM DUNK. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD D:

lol, kouri, you could translate real aswell^^. JK, don't overdo it.

I want to have the volumes too...some editor started this year to release Real and Slam Dunk ("new" version) in English.

HAHAHa I was actually thinking of doing that... <3

BUT...

Volume 7 doesn't have Takahashi the asshole... <_< NOT EVEN A CAMEO...

So I sort of skipped most of the J-Raw... XD We'll see how much I like it when I actually understand it... xD

You mean the Kanzenban? the one with 24 volumes? XD (SD new version)

Yeah but Real takes forever to be released <_<

It is now! Volume one has been released by VIZ media.

Lol, if you have time and want to translate it, I'll scanlate it. But first comes OD^^.

Oh yeah, now I remember... another thing that annoyed me about REAL 7 raw was that THERE WAS NO FURIGANA D:

*reading it now ^^* I can't wait for vol. 8 to come out =( HOPEFULLY WITH TAKAHASHI THE ASSHOLE IN IT. I MEAN, he is totally going to be the replacement for that other paraplegic guy who always gets tired in the Tigers.. XD

Once he and Um.... bald dropout guy make up.

lol, I'm a fan off the bald dropout guy...wondering how he will develop. But I don't even now the story off volume 7 :-(...

when's volume 8 coming out?

btw, there's an OVA off Slam Dunk, did you know?

Lol mathi but you've seen the pics right! I'm only up to the bit where .. bald guy (I swear his name popped up in my mind just now but it disappeared just as quickly... started with N right? XD) means bald punk kid lol. Yeah the first page.. <_<

vol. 8 raw comes out 2008 autumn D: How do these adult japanese men stand the loooooong wait?! Since REAL is a seinen manga.. xD

Yeah I did.. XD I think there are 3? i just never watched them <_< I downloaded Saizen's subs, but somehow... the subtitles are all gone? good thing the language is simple and I read the manga so I know the dialogue.. XD

I like the potter dad <_< He's cool.

WHO IS THE WINNER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

TAKE THAT TAKAHASHI ASSHOLE!!

But yeah, in vol. 7, it's just all about the Tigers game.. XD And some angst moments with Togawa <_< Reminds me of Slam Dunk where 1 game lasted like 2 and a half volumes.. XD

*reading REAL vol 7*

I like it enough to possibly translate it XD

I actually feel for Togawa and Nomiya now, and there is a new guy called Mizushima Ryo!!!

Best joke in there:

Nomiya: Hey Mejiro, now it's time to go out and show them how much of a man you are!
Meguro: (thinking) Actually, my name is Meguro....

Because 'Jiro' = 'Shiro' = white
and 'Guro' = 'Kuro' = black xDDDD

*edit* So, want scanslate?

*edit* I FINISHED IT
IT WAS EXCELLENT
THE ENDING WAS HEARTBREAKING AND I FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHY
DAMN IT

WHY MUST YOU DRAW SO SLOWLY, INOUE TAKEHIKO?!?!

OH WHY

I WILL SCANLATE IT!!

GOOD

so, the third project?

AIR GEAR!

lol i don't mind. anything you guys wanna do.

yeah, anything you guys wanted, just don't drop Over Drive ahaha

Cool! This is going to be the third project?
I've only read the first volume. It was ok.
It's licensed, so I didn't continue any further. That might change though, if you guys scanlate it! xD

jaelee wrote:yeah, anything you guys wanted, just don't drop Over Drive ahaha

being sarcastic?? You know, Real's not really a project where you have to do much. It's just one or two volumes in a year^^.
And we won't drop OD!

lol, just kidding, i'm pretty sure we won't drop OD.

It's one volume a year XD

Seriously...

how does it keep its readers?! D:

By the time vol. 10 comes out I'll be out of high school! -.-

But Inoue Takehiko is working on Vagabond as well so yeah.

You know what -.-

They said that he MIGHT start a Slam Dunk II when he finishes REAL.

>_>

Umm...

Good luck to him... D: T_T *but he's just a man, and an artist, you can't rush art!*

lol, when he finishes REAL...go for it Inoue!

from the sound of mathi's tone, Slam Dunk II sounds like a very distant, if not improbable, probability? xD

yeah, the factor for the improbability drive is by about 2'000'000 I'd say^^.

yeah like infinity D:

I wonder how old that man is?!

you know, his art just keeps on improving!! You can see the style change!

It's especially obvious in rEAL XD

because he does it so slowly <_<

so vol 1 is like.......... whatever year it was.... 2001????? and it is SO different from his newest volume 6 and 7 ^^

6 and 7 are more detailed, better eyes, nicer hair.. (esp Togawa's)

I haven't read the Manga but seen the series (since it is shown a gazillion times here in the Philippines). This is one of my favorite animes. It is incredibly hilarious and entertaining.

yeah right!, but the manga's even better!!

And the story goes further than in the anime.

Yeah, the manga rocks hard!!!

i know this guy who is like Oh I wanna see it in colour, I mean it's a piece of black and white paper blah blah blah...

and I am like

COME TO YOUR SENSES
TRY IT OUT!!!

That artist is so talented and the way he conveys movement and stuff is REALLY GOOD! Especially in the later volumes which were not animated ^_^

The Sannoh game was really, really good...

BUMP FOR POSTERITY (wrong word) BUMP FOR BRINGING IT TO ATTENTION? *is on a slam dunk promoting spree*
