If you loved The Wild Swans, try Slam Dunk: The Movie
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Nobutaka Nishizawa, and they sit in Animation / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Wild Swans, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Slam Dunk: The Movie is
Even in anime, dunking is still a thing. Sakuragi’s second high-school game pairs Shohoko against Oda High, where his old junior-high rival now plays center. At least the soundtrack remembers it’s supposed to be fun.
