Subscribers! Be sure to go to the blog to read the description
easier & check out links for this episode!





Last month in North America, the first new Slam
Dunk anime in over 20 years AND Takehiko Inoue's
directorial debut finally arrived in theaters: The First
Slam Dunk! So who better to talk to me about this
exciting event but my friend and fellow Slam
Dunk fan, Tricia! For the first part of this episode, we
talk a bit about Slam Dunk's history, its
importance in Japanese sports, fandom, & BL culture, why it's
such a beloved piece of work, and our general (spoiler-free!)
thoughts on this new edition to it. Then, at around the 1:26:35
mark, we go total spoiler-zone & do a deep-dive of our
thoughts on the work, along with sneaker talk, anime character
Toon Squad Dream Teams, and your listener questions!
