There are two classic works in Japanese sports animation? If you are a veteran sports fan or anime fan, I believe you will not be particularly unfamiliar with these two cartoons, because they have become well-known works in the animation industry. At the same time, fans always like to compare the influence of this classic cartoon depicting football and basketball, as if to prove that their favorite works are better than others. In fact, there is no absolute answer to this question. Different people have different opinions. However, Feng has some views on these two works to share with you:
1
Because of the different types of sports, there are two circles in China and the world.
(1) soccer boy's influence in the world is far higher than that of a slam dunk player. Soccer boy's influence in the world is far greater than that of slam dunks, which is also a blessing that football is the largest sport in the world. It can be said that many football superstars grew up watching soccer boy, and even embarked on the road of football professionalization because of the encouragement of animation.
But in Japan, "soccer boy" is a leading figure in Japanese football, and many children consciously set foot on the football field because they watched the anime "soccer boy". At that time, the Japanese Football Association also carried out a long-term plan to revitalize Japanese football, promoted the policy of learning Brazilian football throughout the country, and established multi-level leagues. A large number of children who watched the cartoon "Soccer Kid" took to various competitions in reality, and finally these people were basically filled by Japanese national teams at all levels.
(2) Slam Dunk Master has a lot of hard-core slam dunk powder in China, but Slam Dunk Master is relatively deserted. This is because basketball was a very boring sport all over the world before it was popularized in NBA. Compared with the Men's Football World Cup, the Olympic Games and the World Championships, which are the highest honors, can hardly be mentioned in the same breath. Although the Men's Basketball World Championship was renamed Basketball World Cup, its attention is still far less than that of football, and it can't even catch up with the popularity of European Cup and Champions League. However, this has seriously restricted the development of basketball.
In Japan, the Japanese were also keen on slam dunk, but after the experiment, it was found that with their national physique, they were still unlikely to become the world hegemon in basketball. Similarly, the United States is the birthplace of basketball, where young people are generally not interested in basketball cartoons in backward countries, while Europe has the strength to compete with the United States in basketball, but young people there basically like football.
However, Slam Dunk is the most popular in China. Besides the exciting plot of the work itself, it was introduced into China at the right time. Because there were not many sports in China campus at that time, on the other hand, there were too few football fields and too much investment in tennis, playing basketball became one of the best team sports. So "Slam Dunk Master" became an instant hit when it was broadcast in China with the NBA game.

The slam dunk master is superior to soccer boy in the quality of his works.
(1) A slam dunk player is better than a football player. First of all, "Slam Dunk Master" is a work in the 1990s, so the picture quality is far better than that of the work "Football Kid" in the 1980s, and it is the first time to split the mirror. The style of slam dunk is extremely beautiful. Although there are similar characters in appearance, there are more characters on the whole, which can be clearly distinguished. Moreover, the game actions inside are very reliable, only slightly exaggerated, but not beyond the limits of the human body. However, it is difficult for fans who are not familiar with the various roles in Soccer Young. Various fantasy shots also make this animation look dazzling and outrageous, and the proportion of the picture is particularly uncoordinated. Of course, the style is acceptable.
(2) The plot and character design of Slam Dunk Master are better than the main plot of a narrative work, and it is also the complete victory of Slam Dunk Master. Slam Dunk Master not only depicts the basketball competitive stories of a group of teenagers who love playing basketball in detail, but also describes their experiences for most key figures. Some of them have fallen into glory and made a comeback, and some unhealthy teenagers have embarked on an active and healthy life path.
At this point, soccer boy is very stylized and monotonous. It's basically winning with injuries. Of course, all sports cartoons like to use this stalk, and then try to save a penalty or a goal to overtake the score at a critical moment. In short, there are few routines and the audience feels tired.

Football teenagers are pioneers of sports animation, and their role as role models is obvious.
(1) The game design of soccer boy is actually much more difficult than Slam Dunk. Here, we have to defend soccer boy. After all, as a sport with only a few points, you can't draw an episode with one ball, can you? Many times, in fact, the real game is actually kicking and constantly grabbing. It is difficult to draw any classic scenes with this kind of passing and robbing. Even if it is painted, it can't all be classics. Football animation is really difficult to do, so "soccer boy" has become a collection of all kinds of big moves. For example, one person slides with his back against the turf, another person jumps with his feet, and the spring-like mechanism ejects the person above and shoots like a trapeze; The goalkeeper saw the ball fly to the other side of the goal and couldn't reach it, so he kicked directly to the goalpost around him and flew to the other side to save the ball.
(2) Slam Dunk Master overcame the important disadvantages of sports animation such as soccer boy. As a sports animation, never losing in the plot is a disadvantage. If you lose too much, you can't show the meaning of the protagonist. If you don't lose money, it is very unrealistic. However, "Slam Dunk Master" overcame this point and lost to a strong team with a slight disadvantage, but it did not affect the promotion of the protagonists. Other lost games were not drawn, but there were hints. This setting not only reflects the unpredictability and balance of competitive sports, but also gives the protagonists extra points.
Feng's conclusion:
In fact, soccer boy and Slam Dunk Master are not in the same stadium and have different audiences, so the comparability is not great. But in general, the two cartoons have accompanied many fans through their youth and adolescence. Even now, some middle-aged fans will still review the memories of youth from time to time, but in their spare time, they still feel why there are fewer and fewer follow-up classic works.
