I've seen both, and I gotta say SLAM DUNK hands-down for cementing basketball as THE cool sport for my generation in Taiwan. Also, Slam Dunk has so many hilarious/comical moments even in the heat of battle...the focus on the main characters, though unrealistic for real basketball (subs? who need subs!), makes the series so great.

Slam Dunk definitely. Though this is from someone who has seen most of the episodes and read every chapter of Slam Dunk... and only seen about 3 of Dear Boys. I didn't think those episodes were bad but... there are better ones.
Slam Dunk is better mainly because of the characters. Which bring about great moments. Lots of comedy, there is lots of fights for a Basketball manga...(as in fist fights not just yelling), and the matches are great. But don't know how the matches in Slam Dunk compared to those in Dear Boys, didn't get to a point where they shown a full match in Dear Boys. |

I agree with wut sarcasteak say but i never read the manga. I seen Slam Dunk Both in chinese and subbed. The character development was superb and the games might take like 20eps to finish but its well worth every minute of it! Even while the games are 20eps lon, they still included the love affairs and all which was the moral reason for which they play ball..... luv it, first anime i seen also, and its the reason im hooked on anime ^^ Dears boys on the other hand isnt bad, but the opening and ending themes really suck. I mean who the hell puts rap >.< in the ending. I didnt hate the opening as much but it seemed pretty stupid. |

lol..i liked how u compared the whole dear boys team like rukawa. But i disagree since most of the players in slam dunk can hit open shots just like in dear boys. Its just, i already forgot the main characters name in dear boys(aikawa? idk totally forgot, been 5months since i seen the last ep.) wouldnt miss until that last half court shot he took(i never seen him miss another shot.) O yea also, how could u of skipped the 20eps of the shohoku/ryonan match!, i DEMAND U GO BACK AND WATCH IT hehehe. It is great. |

Since both have been shown in our local stations, I've seen all the episodes of Slam Dunk and a few episodes of Dear Boys (since it looked unappealing to me) and I must say that Slam Dunk is way better than Dear Boys. Heck, ask any teen here in the Philippines about Slam Dunk and you'll hear a lot of praises for it. When you ask about Dear Boys, however, it's a different story.

Now in Dear Boys, bench warmers are NOWHERE TO BE SEEN... That's right folks; there are no substitutes in their team. Unbelievable, those damn ball hogs are... |

Bench warmers isnt needed in slam dunk, There starting line up = all pro ballers except for Sakuragi since he played only for the gurl. And yea there was no really background to any of those bench players but it wasnt necessary. The series woulda ended up like 200eps if they did a background check on each character >.< even more(not that i dont like that). And HOW MANY EPS DID U WATCH OF DEAR BOYS? I seen the whole thing and they arent ball hogs. And if u watched the whole thing, they lost the whole thing b/c of there captain fouling out and no subs(isnt it when u have less than 5 players on court, game is over? Automatic disqualification?) And Most of the members left the team because(mentioned in the beginning of the story i believe) the incident where fugi(forgot his name) >.< punched there ex-coach. |
