Woah! Dan got a kiss from Rouge^^ even though there was a reason why he got it but who cares? XD and then there was the bathing scene...umm...yeah...DX Rouge also has a Bigfoot and to be honest, she and her friends are quite skill as well^^ Once again Iceman went with his Destroy ball and end up hitting Rouge's Bigfoot. Dan quickly go to check and see whether she's ok and end up carrying her with cameras all around them :P Dan is getting better and better, he's now able to catch Iceman's Destroy ball and his ball throw-deflecting skills are marvellous. Anyway, i have to say i really love this episode :D

This show gets more brilliant every episode.

And of course, there was that onsen scene. "It's Full Moon!" ROTFLMAO

That ought to make the DVD sales skyrocket in the expectation that the mist will vanish.

Best episode yet. Great incorporation of the opening single, being released very close to the air date of this episode, and incorporation of Eclipses next song. Hopefully the series will continue along these lines.

Releasing the singles is all well and good, but I want to know when the R2 DVDs, or better yet Blu-Ray discs will start to be released!

Another great episode with actually basketball playing + point system. Running on + nO limit from Eclipse singing, not to mention they are quite skilled on playing basketball. Too bad, it looks like Eclipse and their manager is having a "master and slave" type of a relationship. Dan almost caused another accident involving basketball and bigfoots, and end up impressing her by carrying her back to her bench. So funny how Citron was impressed by how Iceman played. Sucked how the match ended in a tie and there was no over time to see who the real winner was. =P

I would have thought Rouge would be the leader, I like her bigfoot though.

aewsome episode, until now Dan HAVENT SCORED 1 POINT in this show yet. He only helped Iceman and Sela scored, unless destroying the Statue is counted.

Indeed this show is getting better and better cant wait for the final episode.

why don't more people pay attention to this show!? It's so awesome! yet another great episode, the male fans dressed up as the idols (as seen above) was hilariou and the use of the idols to tie into the OP was brilliant.

Great episode from start to finish. I'm surprised they were able to cram so much into a single episode without making it feel rushed. Dan x Rouge is now my favorite potential pairing. Rouge is awesome. Nice dream, Dan. Flora was great too. Nice pipes. And her teammates still have zero doubts about her being a boy. LOL.

And if he missed, wtf why can't he ever make the big shots?

Ok episode. Lots of fanservice, and Dan chokes in the clutch as always. I don't really understand why these girls want to play Basquash, but I guess it really doesn't matter. I would like more plot and less "game of the week" in the set up though.

so now dan has another girl after him? is now becoming a harem anime too? anyways that was a cheap way of winning to just end it when your ahead, bad sportsmanship >_<
but at least they tied in the end, though this proves dan can't perform when hes needed
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

Dan x Rouge = impossible because Dan is gay. Otherwise he would have done every girl in his harem already.

Oh and the manager must die for hitting Megumi, I mean Citron. And what's with using french names for the idols? Who wants to be called a lemon anyway?

I actually thought this was the best episode so far. When everyone was telling me "OMG THIS IS GONNA BE THE NEXT TTGL" I was expecting more hotblooded robot basketball and less Aquarion-esque villains ( like next episode -.- ). Instead it has been mostly them running around, not doing much of anything except for talking about going to the moon, with like 3 minutes (max) of actual action in an episode.

And what's with using french names for the idols? Who wants to be called a lemon anyway?

You aren't serious, right? Rouge is red. Violetta is purple. Citron is yellow, just in case you are. And it's universal names for the colors that pretty much everyone will 'get', even if they localize the anime. It's better than using the Japanese names for the colours and American viewers not getting the puns.

Rouge is so awesome, not least of all because she's voiced by Haruka Tomatsu.
When I saw her last episode I was, "I've heard that voice before...but where??" and now finally now. So yeah, <3 much.
Also nice to see that, in fact, those 3 girls from the opening do in fact have roles in the anime proper. Their appearance in the intro always struck me as a bit odd, especially since I know Tomatsu, for example, as a voice actress first and singer second.

An interesting episode to say the least. Lots of sexeh action in it. I was satisfied on all counts by this one, and I agree it was surprisingly well-paced.

Unusual way of plugging the songs, too. Kinda clever.

Yeah thanks for the translation, but since I've lived in France for about 12 years now, I kind of, you know, "get it". :P

But I still find it stupid to use foreign names in animes without a good reason, hence why I used "lemon". In Beck for example, they used american names since Ray lived in New York before coming to Japan. Here the french names just sound retarded, especially for someone who speaks the language, so I would've found japanese names more suitable. But I'm not taking this seriously of course, this is Basquash after all. :D

Somehow, the story hasn't really grabbed me yet. I didn't find the three idols to be particularly interesting characters but their manager has a certain pantomime villain quality to him. Is there anything more dastardly than slapping a loli around?

I liked this episode, it showed the possibility of Dan x Rouge romance XD
Iceman was so awesome with his destroy ball and generally, yes, dan is getting stronger D=
note: I didnt expect eclipse to be that strong.

Definetly another great episode. Really didn't expect Eclipse to actually be that good with them just now deciding to form a team and everything. Can't wait to see what the whole "secret plan" they're hiding.

What a lucky bastard. Rogue is hot and that match was electrifying. I think she might of fell for him after the match even though the score was close. Damn, best episode yet so far.

Surprising turn of events with the idols forming their team and actually being fair competition for our main characters. With Rouge showing up and looking like she will be the love interest for Dan, I feel bad for Miyuki - she will be getting friend-zoned so hard and I really like her character.

Poor Dan only wants to play some basquash and go to the moon, but suddenly turned into the boyfriend of some weird idol. Well at least the idols were formed quite the formidable opponents
