    I'd like to take a minute to talk about one of the most epic and criminally underrated anime of all time. Basquash is by far one of the most creative anime to come out in the last 3 years not to say there hasn't been some other good ones but none that quite capture the shounen epic feel that basquash delivered. It also had some of the most alluring character designs i've ever seen with feature film quality animation. Now why did this anime fail? Pretty much every otaku said Mecha + basketball??? wtf is that
    >>nope not for me

    But i think this series has been gaining more notice the last year or two and has picked up more fans than it had on release. Honestly there isn't an anime out there that is animated as beautifully as basquash and its really a shame that more companies don't follow the lead of getting investors to increase your animation budget. Everyone praises tiger and bunny for doing this when basquash actually did it better. The money that Nike gave them was put to good use. Fanart has recently been popping up everywhere and people are seemingly giving basquash a try only to reveal how strong of a series it really is. I think the series wasn't right for 2009 because otaku weren't willing to give it a shot. The series shares all the same staff that worked on macross frontier but beleive it or not on a higher budget. If you haven't seen this series yet do yourself a favor and do so.
    Also best example of the trope "theme music power up" but benefits from having two of the best themes of 2009
    First

    (can't find the better version of ths op only episode one version is on youtube and there are 5 variations of the op)

    Please tell me you are trolling, while the backgrounds were godly for the first few episodes the plot turned into shit quite fast, then mythology and giants happened and became a giant trainwreck.

    The premise was fairly good and vandalizing mecha-basketball events was awesome, but that was for just the first episode, the good points stopped there, then it didn't only became mechas and basketball but mechas wearing Nike tennis , basketball and moon boobs. If was truly awful.

    Herp Derp someone didn't watch past episode 14 when the plot became epic and the characters all got satisfying development. Then the wham episode in 22 where the entire planet get obliterated. You good sir are the one that is trolling. This is done by the same project director of macross. But since this is a shounen. The music powering the emotional aspect of the series becomes all the more powerful over time.

    Wasn't there a reboot planned in which more focus would be on the actual games? Satelight is focusing on Space Pirates and Aquarion Evol this season so who knows if they'll ever get back to that

    This. The show had such a great start but turned to shit when they switched directors or roughely when those retarded idols started getting more focus than the other characters.

    I watched it to the end actually, if I didn't I would have mentioned the giants, mythology and basketball gods bullshit, and as some anon mentioned the idols just ruined what it could have been a nice show. Even the production values were greatly lowered past the first episodes, they invested way too much in the musical part of the show and shity CG balls trails. Those godly backgrounds were jsut present in the first episodes and that was it.

    Shitty CG doesn't make a show good. Specially if the plot is complete shit.

    Everyone here hated how the show turned out after the staff change.
    I presume you are part of the replacement staff.

    I LOVED THIS SERIES. We haven't gotten anything as good as basquash in years i'm really hoping for a new macross but i doubt its gonna happen. I was really rooting for dan hooking up with the princess (who is voiced by the queen herself rie kugiyama) but then rouge happened and i was dissappoint

    I liked the idols when they were holograms. The move from greek chorus to tsundere love rivals wasn't kind to them.

    I didn't hate the idols i just hated rouge. Prolly because she didn't put out in the service department. But the music in this show was amazing. Without the music i dunno if i would have liked this show as much as i did. Anyone who says this show sucked really need to watch last years and this years anime with a few exceptions. You guys really gonna tell me your mayo chiki bullshit had a better more epic ending than basquash?

    Actually i'm the op. But seriously give the show another try or pick it back up from where you dropped it and you won't be dissappointed

    The ending does not make it for 20 episodes of mediocrity at best.

    At least Mayo Chiki went past 1 frt.

    There are two doujins avail for it both were printed for comiket 73 and they are terrible. I don't know what you usually fap to but if you can fap to those then your a better man than i am. I'll stick to fapping to stickmen over that shit anyday. Also miyuki was so hot only anime chick i ever found attractive with a big bust.

    >those french background animators
    >typical japanese background animator traces photgraphs
    Japan are you even trying? The backgrounds were so full of energy and imagination
    I really liked Basquash but some things truly ruined it
    The focus on idols didn't fucking belong, although they produced music almost in the same leauge as Frontier it made the show impossible to license (see Macross in general)
    The focus on tits that's necessary to hook the japanese otaku makes it really hard to licenese to say Cartoon network where I feel a variation of the show could have shined, the race diversity alone made it really interesting
    The budget ran out around ep11-12 and it really shows, that along with the new director taking the show in a new direction also hurt i royally

    I remember picking it up when it aired because I thought it was pretty. But there wwas way too much shounen bull and CG mechs distracting me from what I was really trying to enjoy in it. I only watched around 2 or 3 episodes anyway. But I knew I was going to drop it before I even picked it up--I don't hold any strong opinion about it, 'twas a lost cause.
