Well, it doesn't matter what Flora is wearing since her single digit member card is as famous as ever^^ I don't think Dan expects Rouge to show that expression to him but that can't be helped i guess. The game afterwards is to be expected, both Dan and Rouge's BigFoot have quite a speed there :D but really it didn't really take them long to get together again^^ At the end, I don't think Dan will lose his life so the next episode should show it.

It was exactly the way I expected it - perfect. It's kind of funny at the end when they're all standing on stage and Dan's BigFoot looks totally out of place. I was somewhat surprised though by the fact that Rouge's BigFoot had the special upgrades that Miyuki had made on Dan's machine (with the cool lights), but I guess it makes sense with her "version up" - maybe Thousand upgraded her BigFoot as well. When's Iceman going to show up though - him, Dan, and Rouge are the only reason I'm watching this show.

this was just epic , the way they mannaged to put them to basquash together so that she can can remember dan was very good, i even shed a tear when rouge remembered and when miyuki said "go" , and i know this is no important,but if they bot scored at te same time who was the winner? a draw?
and then bigfoot makes "boom", that was unexpected...

This was a pretty generic shounen episode. Nothing really out of the ordinary happened in the episode, and what's more, I felt like I had seen some of these scenes before earlier in the show. I also thought that it was funny how, after all is said and done, even though Flora seemed to be quite the natural, she gets body checked before doing anything really, and is out of the game...just in time for BigBoobs McGee to make a random, placeholder comment about how Navi and Sela are in love...probably. There were just lots of cliches, from the tears, to the speeches, to the dunk at the end of the match.

But since it was so pretty....the episode is ok.

I really miss Iceman a lot, and it shows in this epd. It would of been 10x better had he been there, I'm certain.

I think Dan didn't die also, just a misleading cliffhanger probably. We'll see.

If we were earlier in the series, I would say this was a step back in the right direction. There was some level of excitement there. I was on the edge of my seat once the concert started, waiting for the team to break in. The match wasn't perfect. We got maybe a minute of people other than Dan and Rouge playing. And we get it, theyre fast, but watching lines move into the stadium isn't really all that exciting. Also, the Dan/Rouge plot was exactly like I thought it would be, so the emotions didn't really hit me on this one.

I don't care how little sense it would have made. If Iceman had shown up for this match, I would've gone apeshit. Alen and Navi work fine as supporting characters, but they don't feel like they're part of the team, which really shows after Alen is knocked out. Alas, no Destroys for this match.

And the ending...holy shit! O.o

I don't know what is happening atm.... it's like they completely forgot the main story...
What happened to travelling to the moon ? Where the hell is Iceman ?
God...
This anime had the potential to be among the better ones... But now it's like a cheap commercial...

Just my oppinion.. :/

A good episode of Basquash. No way. I hope this momentum can carry through to the last four episodes.

Oh god the art was so horrible in this episode it was almost painful to watch.

They should have made up for it by making the match against Eclipse last longer. The mechs still looked okay in this epsiode; I'm assuming the decline in quality is due to the fact they're spending more time (and money) on putting effort into the final episode.


I still have no idea what Harris' master plan is. Certainly we can blame his actions for preventing the heroes from reaching their goals like reaching the moon, but there hasn't been anything that really explains them.

Typical episode i suppose, but i think this was a well played out episode and it leaves a perfect stage for the next episode. More importantly though i still can't stress enough how much i like eclipse and all their music. I wouldn't have minded that song going on longer. The action was somewhat flawed, but the pretty lights made up for it xD. The power of love crap was also an annoying line.... IDK why that annoyed me so much, but it did.


BTW does anybody know what song they sang in that episode was?

OH NOOOOEESS!!! They awakened Godzilla!

The match was supposed to be exciting I guess, but somehow it wasn't for me.

I don't know where Iceman is, but I would bet he'll show up at least at the very end.

About the main storyline: Dan wanted to travel to the moon, that's right. So why isn't he? That's simple: because it wasn't his wish to travel to the moon himself, but for Coco to travel there to be cured (or go there by himself and find a way to cure her, I guess?). Coco is on the moon, so that part of the story is already finished, there's no need for Dan to go to the moon anymore.

What this whole "stones awakening"-thing is... I have to clue. This'll be explained sooner or later. I hope they'll explain soon. >_>

About this episode: it was nice, although there was way too much cliché and at some point I was thinking that I would've never guessed "love" or "affection" would be this important in this anime.
Also, I think the "Rough loses her memories and get's them back" was too rushed and seemed out of place.
Yeah, it was nice when they played together, but there were better matches and the cliché about their affection for each other, the tears, speeches, etc was just a bit too much to fit into this anime called "Basquash". Maybe if they'd left out everything else, I would've been perfectly fine with the Dan/Rough-thingy.

Not the best episode so far, but well... not the worst either.

Meh episode...predictable storyline with the concert and bringing back Rouge's memories. The ending with Dan getting shot was good though.

With the power of love and above all basquash, Dan seems to have brought back the old memories of Rouge.... altough he got smashed at the end
I wonder how they are going to resolve all the plotthreads in the next 4 episodes.
