Slam dunk is, in my opinion, the best anime i've seen.

Story
The story is a typical anime sports plot, a central character (hanamichi) who starts hating basketball but due to his love interest get's into the school's team and starst loving it. The difference from other anime is that it gives you a better point of view in what respects effort will make you the best. In most anime the central character makes a great effort and ends up being the greatest player in the world in no time, instead slam dunk shows you that you are not the only one practising, everyone else does so ... too. (I would have liked to explain more but it would turn into a spoiler).

Art
typical 90's anime art. I liked it and the characters express a lot.

Sound
Good I think, I don't know much about sound. the first opening is really great and is in concordance with the series feel.

Character
This is what makes this anime great, you just have to love every character. I've never felt so close to any anime character than to hanamichi. I mean, I felt like i could actually touch him. Also all of them make you feel their emotions. I've even cryed though it's generally a comedy.

Enjoyment
If you don't enjoy this anime.... then mm go watch one you'll enjoy, and have fun, but I think you'll enjoy it.

Firstly, i must state that i watched this anime with spanish dubs (latin) and this is important as it was obvious that most of the jokes were changed, and made reference to latin culture and mexican primarly i think.

Story
well, there was not a continued story, it was more like a sitcom of 6 minutes episodes, but each mini-storie was great and really funny and intelligent.

Art
Most of the characters were draw very simply, "extras" being just a grey body with eyes. And well the artwork was similar to that of crayon shin-chan but less ugly, often joking about that by drawing the characters in the more ... common anime style when they are acting cool.

Sound
All i can say about the japanese sound is that the opening was really funny and fit perfectly the anime. More than that i can't say but for the ones who know spanish i recommend the dubs, it was the best spanish dubbing i've seen.

Character
there are lots of characters in this show and none of them is boring. you have the four main characters high (a energetic guy who's always on fire, and has the personality of a leader but is not listened buy his mates ), nari (a millionaire that loves circular things and solves everything with money), moro ( the girl of the group who is always trying to be sexy and... nothing more really) and koni (the mysterious main character with the mysterious house).
some of the side characters are a samurai fish, a talking tv, a teacher that has a thing for koni, an old woman's hand, and a talking dog.

Enjoyment
i laughed out loud all the time with this series and you can see each chapter a thousand times and still laugh the same way.
