Audiences, whether they had read the manga or not, all immediately took notice of the updates to "Slam Dunk"!
"It's updated!"
"They actually released two episodes!"
"Awesome!"
"This one's worth it!"
"Even waiting another two days would be worth it!"
"I've read the manga, this episode is iconic!"
"Mitsui, here I come!"
"..."
Although the connection between the manga and the anime is deep, the addition of voice actors, visuals, and music in anime makes it far more engaging than the manga, which is why many manga only explode in popularity after being adapted into anime.
Therefore,
even those who had read the manga were still full of anticipation for the anime!
Of course,
most were viewers who hadn't read the manga.
Take Lu Bin, for instance.
Lu Bin was a high school student from Chu Continent.
He loved "Slam Dunk," and although he hadn't read the manga, he'd been spoiled by those who had. He knew Mitsui held a very high regard in the hearts of manga fans.
