Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

"Here it comes! My favorite laning phase!"

On a certain animation forum, a post was highly upvoted.

The main post contains only one screenshot.

Starlight Video and Lizi Video are featured on the homepage.

On the left is the poster for the new manga/anime series "Slam Dunk" from the Land of Light. The poster features the red-haired boy Sakuragi Hanamichi grinning widely, with a basketball court and the Shohoku High School team flag fluttering in the background.

On the right is the poster for Lizi Entertainment's new work, "Basketball Boy," featuring a black-haired boy named Ye Xiaofei with sharp eyes, holding a basketball engulfed in flames created by special effects.

Both broadcasts will start at 5 PM on February 28th.

"Holy crap! There was a crash! A real crash!"

"Both are basketball-themed! Premiering on the same day! Head-to-head competition!"

"Is Guangda doing this on purpose? Are they deliberately picking on Li Zi Entertainment's new work to compete?"

"I think it's a coincidence. The Land of Light has such high production capacity recently, they probably didn't even notice the scheduling of the tanuki."

"Who cares! Let's watch the show! I love watching two families fight!"

"Place your bet! Slam Dunk vs. Basketball Boy, place your bet!"

"I'm betting on Slam Dunk! Anything from the Land of Light is guaranteed to be a masterpiece!"

"I'm betting on 'Basketball Boy'! It seems like Tanuki Entertainment has gone all out this time; the trailer looks pretty exciting!"

Tanuki Entertainment, Animation Division Director's Office.

Zhang Ming stared at the poster for the new Land of Light manga, "Slam Dunk," on the screen, his face ashen.

Instead of waiting until everything is finished before releasing it, it's better to start making it while it's being broadcast.

After the start of the new year, the Land of Light recruited many new employees.

They are all outstanding talents who left companies such as Tencent Video and Lizi Entertainment.

With current production capacity, we can easily keep up with the broadcast schedule.

I'm just a little curious, with so many talented people, how did they manage to let the penguins and raccoons go?

"Could there be a mole on their side?"

Su Xiaoran blinked but didn't reply.

She can't exactly say that the salary, benefits, creative environment, and holiday system offered by the Land of Light are a complete game-changer for animation professionals, can she?

Those people voted with their feet.

At 5 PM sharp, both works were launched simultaneously.

Slam Dunk Episode 1: "A Basketball Genius is Born?!"

The intro to the opening theme "I Want to Shout I Love You" begins!

"Snapped!"

A crisp, powerful dunk instantly captivated the ears of all the spectators.

Under the dazzling sunlight, I ran through the streets.

You patted my shoulder as usual.

I don't know when it started, but I've inexplicably become infatuated with you.

But you never took my arm.

My eyes are always following you, inseparable from you.

I'm hopelessly infatuated with you.

I want to shout "I love you!" and try to change tomorrow.

(Your name is びたい when you are good, and your name is を変えてみよう tomorrow)

...]

The energetic melody and straightforward lyrics instantly ignited the youthful memories of all the audience!

"Holy crap! This song is amazing!"

"This song... I almost cried while listening to it. Isn't this exactly how I felt when I had a crush on the girl in the next class in high school?! So A-Guang also had this kind of youth?!"

"The slow-motion scene where Sakuragi drinks water was so cool! I'm definitely going to recreate that move in front of the girls when we play basketball in the new school year!"

"Come on, Sakuragi looks cool when he drinks water because of his good character model. You drinking water? That's like a wild boar rooting up the water trough."

"Okay, I admit I was a bit too vocal about Slam Dunk before. This opening theme alone is enough to keep me watching until the very end!"

The main feature begins.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, a red-haired delinquent, set a tragic record of being rejected by 50 girls in a row during his junior high school years.

The last girl who rejected him even bluntly stated, "I like Oda from the basketball team."

This led Sakuragi to have a deep-seated hatred for the word "basketball".

Even after entering Shohoku High School, Sakuragi remained listless.

Until that day, a gentle voice sounded behind me:

"My name is Haruko Akagi."

Sakuragi turned his head and saw a girl with long, flowing hair and a sweet smile.

"Excuse me..."

Haruko looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Do you like basketball?

Sakuragi's mind went blank.

He could almost see Cupid's arrow piercing the bullseye.

"I love it!"

He straightened his chest, his face flushed.

"Because I'm an athlete!"

Haruko laughed: "Then... can you dunk?"

"Dunk? Of course I can!"

To prove himself, Sakuragi was taken to the basketball court by Haruko.

Then, under everyone's gaze—

He took a running start, jumped, and charged towards the basket with all his might!

"Bang!!!"

He crashed headfirst into the backboard and fell straight down.

The entire room fell silent.

Haruko's eyes lit up: "What amazing jumping ability!"

Sakuragi, lying on the ground, heard these words in a daze, immediately jumped up, and gave a thumbs up:

"I'm a genius!"

The comments section was bursting with laughter:

"Hahahaha! Headbutting the backboard, that's something!"

Sakuragi: I'm a genius! Audience: You're an idiot!

"Hilarious! I thought Sakuragi was going to be an overpowered protagonist, but he's actually a super goofy, love-obsessed simpleton! I love this unexpected charm!"

"Haruko's legs, those legs! That face! I'm in love! Has Hikaru recently unlocked some new potential? How come all the female characters in his works are so beautiful! (Hehehe)"

"Has Guangda recently hired an artist specializing in drawing JK (high school girl) characters? They've produced three JK anime series in a row!"

"Count me in! I love JK! Guangda, please keep this output rate! (doge)"

"I think the art style of this animation is very special. It's not the kind of cute or pretty style that everyone uses. It's a bit realistic and a bit exaggerated. The movements are smooth and the characters' expressions are vivid. It's very comfortable to watch."

Five minutes later, episode two of Slam Dunk continues...
