Shohoku's “speedster” and point guard, Ryota Miyagi, always plays with brains and lightning speed, running circles around his opponents while feigning composure. In his second year of high school, Ryota plays with the Shohoku High School basketball team along with Sakuragi, Rukawa, Akagi, and Mitsui as they take the stage at the Inter-High School National Championship. And now, they are on the brink of challenging the reigning champions, Sannoh Kogyo High School.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A propulsive anime that transforms a high school basketball tournament into something almost mythic, balancing explosive court action with genuine moments of character vulnerability and team bonding. It's a film that understands sports as a language for growing up.
