There can be little doubt that this series is in need of some major rewriting. Perhaps the worst part here is the character development, or, rather, lack thereof. Almost every character represents a one-dimensional stereotype that can be described by very few words. Dan is a raging idiot, Sela is a crazy girl with multiple sexual deviations, Iceman is a nice and kind lunatic, Haruka is obsessed with profeet (that is profit and feet), and so on. I don't even want to talk about Bel and some other silly comic reliefs. Coco is the one character who has great potential for development... which never comes. And almost everyone seems to be suffering from a post traumatic stress disorder, which, honestly, gets old after a while.

As for the plot, it does have great potential, but realization is poor. To say the least. In fact, most of the times the storyline is advanced simply by one of the characters stepping up to a microphone (often literally) and advancing it "manually" by revealing yet another "big secret", of which we, the viewers, weren't exactly aware until that point, so why should we even care? One good example of this is the identity of the mysterious Ultimate Bystander, who seems to know everything about main characters' movements. But only a few lines of dialog suggest that Bystander's identity should interest us and that it will have some future importance, and then we're simply told that it was Coco all along, which explains nothing and so useless that it's not even a spoiler to reveal this here. Also, many story lines get abandoned in the middle or left hanging in the end, most notably the one about moon giants - they get just a few seconds worth of screen time, no lines, and no explanation behind them (or that stupid defense system which keeps them a secret for some unknown reason), even though the plot is screaming for one. I would also like to have a story for those sentient, shape-shifting pets with supernatural abilities, which only five of the characters have. There is no explanation for these pets, even though certain scenes hint at their connection to this whole legend thing. And by the way, whatever happened to Dan's and Coco's parents? Actually, most of the young characters appear to be orphans. Is Earth-Dash really such a bad place that people drop dead all around? Holding short the romantic story lines was a big disappointment. Although, with three girls clumsily competing for Dan's attention, maybe it became too complicated and the writers decided to tune it all down to foggy hints, which do persist until the end, however. The setting is also poorly developed. In particular, we never get to see the Mooneyes, even though part of the story apparently occurs there. And Earth-Dash is represented by a fragmented description of a few cities, with no idea as to the global picture, the government, the interconnection between Earth-Dash and the Moon, and so on. The setting feels more like a cardboard stage, and falls far short of a typical fictional universe. And finally, even such an artificial storyline is uneven. The first eight or so episodes are outright boring, until it finally becomes apparent that there is some kind of a story behind all those mindless ball games. After that it does become interesting, but the last two episodes are bland and simplistic, which, after all the tension buildup in the preceding episodes, is very disappointing. So why 6 out of 10? Despite all the flaws, the series does manage to evoke strong emotions in most of the "interesting" episodes between eighth and 24th. Of course, another big attraction, if not the biggest, are all those cute, half-naked girls (and also boys, if that's your preference). I mean, looking at Rouge, how often can you see a girl with cleavage on the rear part of her pants? That's something, all right, perhaps even more incredible than Haruka's breasts that rival her head in terms of size. Interestingly though, there is no explicit nudity in the series, but with so many borderline teasers you wouldn't know it. And what finally puts it all together is the excellent musical score. So I guess this series isn't about legends or storytelling of any kind - it's just a heap of visual and auditory stimulus. And that has to count for something too, doesn't it?

Funny. You can only watch this this as a comedy. Saving the world w/ B-ball played by robots. Ha Ha this show is hilarious. The characters unique, extreme in there personality and are unforgettable. The story really takes you on an emotional roller coaster with the main character's personal stories. At first I was re-searching this series for cosplay then I found myself binging on it. I finished the entire series in about a week. The show is very much adult and makes many references...if not a diagram of explicit acts thru out the show. But all in good fun. I think they have ample material to add on to the series or have a spin off.

I absolutely love this series it was just so much fun. I do love a good mecha series but have found many that become a little too serious and pretentious. Mecha has a tendency to go a little too deep and while I love series such as Evangelion and Fafner sometimes I would like a mecha series which is a little more fun. A series where you still have amazing robot designs which wonderful movements and battle with all the destructive force you expect of a giant robot but a little less politics. Sometimes I'd like there not to be huge government conspiracies, strange spiritual and religious undertones, emotional backwards pilots and plots that are so complicated that you can't just enjoy the beauty of a Mecha. Basquash has so much to offer, it has big, loud battling Mecha's, but instead of an all-out global war they are the tools in a new sport. Mecha's are used to play a hyped up version of basketball. And like all good sports shows we have intense games and driven and courageous characters. The story takes place in the world of "Earth Dash", an alternate, futuristic version of Earth where human society split between the far more advanced lunar society and that of the planet's surface. A popular sport is BFB (Big Foot Basketball), where players ride mecha called "Big Foot" and play basketball in a giant arena. In the city of Rolling Town, Dan JD and his companions take the sport to the streets, rename it "Basquash", and then embark on a journey to overcome their past hardships and make their dreams come true. After BFB took to the streets to create Basquash another company tried to monopolize this new sport creating a new league but Dan JD and his team realised this still wasn't the Basquash they created and therefore went out to play their own true underground form of the sport. We learn much about our characters, Dan JD, who was originally banned from BFB because of the destruction he causes at their championship. He has spent a year in prison and amounted enormous debt but still he wants to play the game. He wants to make up for the fact that his sister (who was a better player than him) had her legs destroyed by a Big Foot. Now he plays because she can't and is ever growing in strength and skill. Like all good protagonists he is stubborn, proud and brave, he doesn't back down and he gives everything for his game with passion and enthusiasm. Joining him in his team are Sela d Miranda and Iceman Hottie. Now Iceman Hottie is a character that lives up to his name which is always good and definitely supplies us girls with eye candy, with his angsty past, his slightly split personality, his amazing game play he is near unbeatably and makes for one extremely strong Basquash player. Basquash has a great collection of characters and yes there are plenty of big breasted girls, lots of fan service but it never distracts from the series and is less obvious and in your face than an anime such as Line barrels. The world they live in is also a good mix of future scapes and industrialization. You see the contrast between the moon world and the earth world and the different way the two civilizations live. People on the surface are trying to get to the moon, the chance of a better life. But it turns out there is more connecting these two civilisations. A great tragedy is prophesized to engulf both worlds and it's not long before our team of Basquash players find themselves in the middle of it. There's a bigger picture to the series than just the game they play, winning matches and proving yourself the best Basquash player. All that helps you grow and realize your full potential and that comes into play for the final battle to save the planets. The series is also well paced, a great mixture of drama, comedy, fighting spirit and real threat. It also has great music I just love the opening and ending themes for this series they fit perfectly. "nO limiT" by Eclipse is a fun song performed by our idol group characters; many a great anime has an idol or group where would Macross be without its songs. While Eclipse isn't quite there compared to the songs of Gundam Seed or Macross there's still that element of a song bringing hope and strength to the battle which is a theme I've always like. Inspiration and power through something peaceful and artistic like music. And of course where's there's a female singer involved there's a romance and like many a good series a nice love triangle. In fact Basquash shares a few similarities with the Macross franchise but without the epic war aspect. The smaller aspects are similar, music, relationships, reluctant hero's, ace pilots and just an energy and vibrancy that goes with a great made series.
