This is the first time I've read that comparison with Sakamoto and Slam Dunk. It's obvious that you've been watching anime for a long time. xD
And yes, this anime is entertaining and fresh, especially because of the way it develops the characters and makes any adventure or activity a roller coaster of emotion and action.
The animation is the best, as is the character of Sakamoto Taro.
Good review.
I've been watching slam dunk when I was a kid on a national channel 😃
I noticed the freshness of the anime and it goes pretty straight to the point, a lot has happened in these two episodes and introducing the characters quickly, I'm looking forward to the whole thing to see the deeper plots presented, the animation is going well although I didn't notice it was an anime of great visual impact, it goes more for the comic and continue enjoying sakamoto days 😎
