The Blu-Ray and DVD for The First Slam Dunk, the wildly popular theatrical adaptation of Shohoku’s match against Sannoh High during the Interhigh, will come out on February 28, 2024. The anime film originally debuted in Japan in early December 2022. [Thanks, Dengeki Online!]
It’s unclear why it took Toei over a year to release the movie for people to own. Pre-orders for the Blu-Ray and DVD will start on October 27, 2023. There will be three different versions: the standard edition, the limited edition, and the special limited edition. Both limited editions will come with the movie, as well as a special bonus disc.
One of the goodies that you’ll be able to get with the limited editions is a commemorative present that came out when the movie was airing in theaters. This is for people who might not have been able to watch the movie at the time or could not get it because their movie theater ran out.
News of this first came out during the The First Slam Dunk staff live-stream, which aired on October 20, 2023. Other news that the staff announced during this stream included goods for the movie, such as miniature figures and shirts. You can start pre-ordering some of the merchandise from October 25, 2023.
The Blu-Ray and DVD for The First Slam Dunk will come out on February 28, 2024. Pre-orders will open from October 27, 2023.
