The Japanese Manga The First Slam Dunk 2022 Movie

One popular Japanese sports Manga series is Slam Dunk. I remember when I was watching this via free local broadcasting here in the Philippines, I need to hurry back home from school to catch the show as it is broadcasted here late afternoon on a weekday. I have enjoyed watching this series and now, they are trying to make a movie out of it, this makes a lot of fans excited. Just so you know, according to Wiki, Slam Dunk is a Japanese sports manga series written and illustrated by Takehiko Inoue. It tells the story of a basketball team from Shōhoku High School in the Shōnan area of Japan. It was serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from October 1990 to June 1996, with the chapters collected into 31 tankōbon volumes. The manga was adapted into an anime television series by Toei Animation which aired from October 1993 to March 1996 and has been broadcast worldwide, enjoying much popularity particularly in Japan, several other Asian countries and Europe.

Collectible Toy: The Perfect Grade Unicorn Gundam unit 2 Banshee Norn

When I was a kid, I have so much fascination about robots. This might be due to the Japanese cartoons I have been watching on a daily basis during those times. Voltes V, Mazinger Z, Daimos just to name a few. When I get older, I came across with Gundam, and it was amazing! According to Wiki, Gundam is a Japanese military fiction media franchise/media mix.

The franchise began on April 7, 1979, with Mobile Suit Gundam, a TV series that defined the "real robot" mecha anime genre by featuring giant robots called mobile suits (including the original titular mecha) in a militaristic setting. The popularity of the series and its merchandise spawned a franchise that includes 50 TV series, films and OVAs as well as manga, novels and video games, along with a whole industry of plastic model kits known as Gunpla which makes up 90 perc

A Japanese Man Toko Transforms Himself to Become a Dog

Having a pet seems to be the best way to overcome boredom as well as surpass having a feeling of being alone. Some people tend to domesticate Cats, some wanted Birds, and some are inclined to take care some variety of aquarium Fish while most of us, of course, the most popular, would love to have a Dog. The term 'a dog is a man's best friend' was first used way back in 1789 by King Frederick of Prussia. He’s claimed to say, “The only, absolute and best friend that a man has, in this selfish world, the only one that will not betray or deny him, is his Dog.” Research suggests dog ownership may improve heart health, decrease depression, and even help you live longer – it’s a symbiotic relationship that has been as beneficial for humans, as much as our canine companions. And it’s a bond that stretches back at least 15,000 years. That's one possibility at least; some fossil evidence suggests domestication as far back as 30,000 years. If that’s true then as James Gorman
