A Basketball Anime

You remember Slamdunk? Or Sakugari? Slamdunk was a TV anime series about a basketball varsity and Sakuragi was its main character. The animation was crude but it was still entertaining to watch Sakuragi, the funny talented wannabe who dreamed of being the best basketball player ever.

I also have a basketball anime series in mind, titled Fastbreak. It centers on a bunch of neighborhood kids who get to participate in a local summer league. There, they get to meet different sorts of teams, ranging from backyard ballers to elite varsity members, yet they ultimately prevail and emerge as champions in the end.

The difference between Slamdunk and Fastbreak will be the level of technical stuff. Whereas, Slamdunk was content in simply portraying rivalries played out in the hardcourt, Fastbreak will feature a dizzying array of basketball knowledge, from well-known plays to conditioning exercises, to coaching styles and philosophies and player profiles, all injected into episodes full of human drama and emotion.

If I get around to actually writing this stuff, then it's going to be wicked.
