The dunk competitions are the best part of basketball.

Is it wrong for me to post here?

Not wrong, exactly, but unless a blog entry stimulates a tremendous number of comments, people generally stop reading comments two to three days after the entry is posted. Press releases can be e-mailed to Ms. MacDonald, using the "Contact" button on The Beat site. SRS

Slam Dunk is my absolute favorite manga/anime. I grew up watching the anime and now reading the manga. It’s a huge part of my childhood because everyone was so into it. It definitely deserves the title of #1 Manga ever.

Never knew Slam dunk was never introduced to the american audience till now cos it was wildly popular in Asia. Best manga ever!

[...] Until now, Slam Dunk didn’t sound interesting to me but if the art looks anything like the mural Takehito Inoue painted at the NY Kinokuniya store I’ve got to check it out. [...]

[...] Slam Dunk manga-ka Takehiko Inoue was in New York Monday night at the recently revamped Kinokuniya bookstore, where he talked to the press and painted an awesome-looking mural on the wall. Heidi MacDonald and Christopher Butcher were both there and have reports—and pictures! And John Jakala picks up on the news of a Vagabond omnibus. [...]

It was a terrific event Inoue-sensei seemed very appreciative of the turnout. The NYC indie comics community turned out (among them Matt Madden, Tom Hart, Nick Bertozzi and daughter) as well as the manga/anime crowd (Anthony Weintraub who adapted Tekkonkinkreet to anime was there), not to mention the Japanese media. Inoue-sensei said he came to the U.S. because he really wanted to make sure that Slam Dunk did well in America. I sure hope it does. I really love that series and I’m looking forward to REAL as well. Watching him paint that mural was very impressive.

I am not a big fan of watching basketball, but I absolutely love Slam Dunk. It’s definitely not the most thought provoking story, but it’s just a ton of fun.

On another note, him painting the mural reminds me of the time that he drew a Slam Dunk story on the chalkboards in a school. Then for people to read it, they would have to walk from room to room. I remember seeing a video of it somewhere…
