Slam Dunk makes its great return in the courts of Japanese theaters in a little over a month, marking the first time since 1995 that the groundbreaking franchise will be on the big screen, and by big, it’ll be IMAX sized! The upcoming film announced today that when THE FIRST SLAM DUNK premieres on December 3, it’ll be on both regular theater screens as well as IMAX screens. The biggest games need the best screens to watch them on.

The original Slam Dunk TV anime aired from 1993 to 1996, with four anime films being spun off from the original anime. You can catch an on-demand replay of the TV anime right here on Crunchyroll, which describes the series as such:

 

Hanamichi Sakuragi, an entering freshman at Shohoku High, holds a record for being rejected by 50 girls during middle school. Ever since the last girl turned him down for a guy on the basketball team, Sakuragi’s been traumatized by the sport.
