----------------------------------------
So we get a half an episode of Dan, Sela and the Giant against three geezers, then we get a half-assed review of some of the ealier episodes. That was pathetic.

Oh well, only a half dozen episodes left to suffer through. What a disappointment!

I guess it was nice to see a bit more of Coco's perspective on the matter, as we finally get some decent fairly unambiguous understanding into her character. She isn't the heartless bitch that she seemed to be in past; she simply wants Dan to become great not for her sake but as much for his own. I suppose hints thereof were put there before, but it wasn't clear if she was simply being bitter about the accident. In any case, from Dan's perspective it had seemed as though she was blaming him still.

However, some of that recap wasn't very necessary: the stuff where Coco isn't narrating anything, specifically.

This, definitely. I also liked hearing some of Coco's perspective, although I still hate the character. I'm really curious about the relation between Slash and the person from the flashbacks. Pretty sure they're not the same person.

Sela's ending to the match was kinda cool, but overall, the match just was not exciting...again. For a match that was kinda labeled as a big deal, there just wasn't anything special about it. And then to push that point furthur, they recap a Rolling Town match, easily one of the best in the show. Seems like they're just rushing it to get to the moon for the last arc. May as well hold out till the end at this point, but I've given up on expecting Rolling Town quality episodes.

What happened to this show? Wasn't it about some guy doing the impossible, seeing the invisible, touching the untouchable, breaking the unbreakable and getting into the Space NBA?...Now we get LOLPOLITICS and LOLGODS PLAYING BASKETBALL IN SPACE AND CREATING THE UNIVERSE...Seriously, I was facepalming the whole episode through.


...They also left their teammate who's toughed it out with them for so many games behind in that underground hellhole. What ungrateful pricks.

This episode is representative of the show as a whole. One part random encounters for various ambiguous, faux-character development reasons, and one part wasted nonsense.

How do you do a recap and totally reorder the events? It doesn't make sense.

Pathetically horrible episode.

Recent episodes has gone down the drain. Are they trying to replace Iceman with Navi? I can't believe they're trying to hook him up with Sela -_____- . This is like a bad ADD gone wrong with random and unnecessary infos just being jammed into episodes. I blame the new director. Thou... I don't mind Rouge becoming a frequent character in Basquash.

I did not watch this episode at all due to seeing that magical word "recap".

First half was good... but I didn't liked the second half. Basically because I don't like recaps in general.

Yeah the recap was not really a smart idea. It's still enjoyable but I'm missing the initial spirit of the show.

I'm guessing they put a recap here, so they could give space for the directors to change. I think next week will be the first true episode that the new director has done.

The first half was alright, I still don't like the idea of them seeming like they want to replace Iceman with Navi. Where's my Iceman?! D:

Second half recap... eh, we had some new perspective from Coco, but not really anything we didn't already know.

I'm curious to know if Slash is the same person in Coco's flashbacks, as so far it's certainly implied that he is. What is he, aging in reverse or something? O_oa

I would say those old timers despite their age still got some skills. Bit of an redundant recap by Coco in the second half but I wonder why the Big Foot that permanently injured her has not faced any repercussions, I guess I shouldn' try to find any logic here.
