If you’re like me, you caught basketball fever a few years ago – all thanks to The Last Dance, a Netflix documentary charting the dynasty of the Chicago Bulls, culminating in a legendary 1997-98 season.
If you’re still trying to chase the highs of Michael Jordan’s long farewell, you could do a lot worse than Slam Dunk, a classic ’90s basketball anime that’s just picked and rolled its way onto Netflix.
What followed was an epic powerhouse of an anime, one that paved the way for the likes of Kuroko’s Basketball and volleyball anime Haikyu to reign supreme on their own courts.
Alongside a conveyor belt of classic anime (boxing series Hajime no Ippo and psychological thriller Monster joined the streamer last year), Netflix has set its sights on an exciting future, too.
Delicious in Dungeon season 2is now in production, while a Devil May Cry anime is also on the way this year. A Witcher anime film, Sirens of the Deep, is scheduled for the fall.
