The NYC indie comics community turned out (among them Matt Madden, Tom Hart, Nick Bertozzi and daughter) as well as the manga/anime crowd (Anthony Weintraub who adapted Tekkonkinkreet to anime was there), not to mention the Japanese media. Inoue-sensei said he came to the U.S. because he really wanted to make sure that Slam Dunk did well in America. I sure hope it does. I really love that series and I'm looking forward to REAL as well. Watching him paint that mural was very impressive. It was a terrific event Inoue-sensei seemed very appreciative of the turnout.

It's definitely not the most thought provoking story, but it's just a ton of fun. On another note, him painting the mural reminds me of the time that he drew a Slam Dunk story on the chalkboards in a school. Then for people to read it, they would have to walk from room to room. I remember seeing a video of it somewhere... I am not a big fan of watching basketball, but I absolutely love Slam Dunk.
