And indeed, it was my FIRST movie (in the cinema) since the pandemic started. I grew up watching Slam Dunk. It was one of those iconic anime that was shown on Philippine television back in the late 90’s. Yes, it was Tagalized, of course. Who doesn’t know Hanamichi Sakuragi and the Shohoku basketball crew?

An anime that has Utada Hikaru singing for its opening/ending theme is always worth watching. Fumetsu no Anata E (To Your Eternity) was released on Netflix a few months ago.
