Gubaba Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 So what's yer reaction when Iceman does the Black Matter Ball throw? As I said, I've only seen the first two episodes, so that came in right at the end. I'm really just skimming this thread, trying to avoid spoilers, so I don't know WHAT to make of it yet...it's still not as horrifying as seeing the bones for that cute li'l "u-PI! u-PI!" thingy pop out of Spanky's mouth.

REbirth Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) Episode 4 = New OP animation, Nike shoes and Dan gets his "special" throw. And Haruka Glacier is seriously obsessed with foots!!!! Note the Black Big Foot. Edited April 24, 2009 by REbirth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REbirth Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 The lack of discussions in this thread makes me sad Guess people are waiting for the subtitles? This is probably the BESTEST PLAN EVER: Nike shoe is cool, but giant Nike shoes are UBER cool, they also make cute walking noises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 [...] I like it. It's funky, and totally unlike anything I've seen before. Which is why most of us got into anime in the first place, no? It's certainly different from most other anime. Sofar it feels familiar, a bit like some of the younger manga influenced Frenco-Belgian artists. Probably Romains infuence. It also reminds me somewhat of Les Eaux de Mortelune by Adamov/Cothias. (Hopefully no influence on the script as that story is more grim and dark then Tomino on a bad day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REbirth Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) (Hopefully no influence on the script as that story is more grim and dark then Tomino on a bad day) I hate to admit it, the story is going to get grimdark sooner and later. The new OP pretty much confirms the sad past/traumatic event of all the main characters. On the plus side, the show will become more serious and "deep". On the minus side, I fear it will lose its humor and charm. Edit: A-M sub for episode 4 is out. http://www.animetake.com/basquash-episode-4/ Edited April 26, 2009 by REbirth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd77 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 The background designs and overall color scheme reminds me very of Tekkon Kinkreet's. Even the CG look has the same feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REbirth Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) Umai released episode 4. And the plot thickens. So moon women gets huge bust because of the lower gravity of the moon?

wolfx Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The lack of discussions in this thread makes me sad Guess people are waiting for the subtitles? Yeah i was waiting for Umai. Man Haruka has a serious foot fetish. Nothing much happened this ep though...with Haruka walking to the 3 to get them to fight each other.

And Haruka takes foot fetish to a new level, she can pretty much talk with people by looking at their feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the game would be more and more brutal next time, with that "one BF left standing" rule. The player can trash other Big Foots with the ball and still win the game. Seems like the princess is gonna leave the house next episode. Edited April 27, 2009 by REbirth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REbirth Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Found this on /m/ yesterday, so I guess we will get some Big foot toys? This guy was made for the Anime Fair 2009. I think it looks quite nice, what about you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Umai released episode 4. And the plot thickens. So moon women gets huge bust because of the lower gravity of the moon? Wow, just wow. Spoiler actually almost sorta makes sense. Gravity SHOULD affect anatomy to a degree. Not to THAT degree, but... I also predicted it from the preview.

wolfx Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Spoiler actually almost sorta makes sense. Gravity SHOULD affect anatomy to a degree. Not to THAT degree, but... I also predicted it from the preview. If anything they should be firmer and less saggy due to lower gravity....not affecting its size to bulbous proportions. But then again this is an anime where i'm willing to kick reason to the curb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it won't be long in the gravity of Earthdash before she starts having some serious back problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REbirth Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Earthdash is a freaky world. And is it me or the Earthdash/Rolling Town is too peaceful for its own good? Sure there is delinquents like Dan around messing stuffs up, but there is no major war and the people just enjoy themselves under the moonlight. I can't help but wonder how long this peace will last. ...about Haruka, she doesn't seems to suffer motion sickness like that...moon guy in ep 2 did, right?

Sure there is delinquents like Dan around messing stuffs up, but there is no major war and the people just enjoy themselves under the moonlight. I can't help but wonder how long this peace will last. We've seen very little of Rollingtown, and nothing of Earthdash as a whole. They probably have crime and war just like everyone else. We just haven't seen it because Dan doesn't run in those crowds. Next stop: The princess's kingdom? ...about Haruka, she doesn't seems to suffer motion sickness like that...moon guy in ep 2 did, right? Well, she carries her own personal gravitational field generator on her chest. What'd you expect? Seriously, she could just have been on Earth for longer, giving her more time to adapt.

I mean a car wearing sneakers.....c'mon!? I'm still not entirely convinced that the whole thing is not an elaborate hoax that you guys are playing on me.

wolfx Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 My own fanfic.... Earthdash is another spiral world which is watched by Simon and his Guren Dan as it matures, where a new potential Spiral Nemesis might form from Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthdash is another spiral world which is watched by Simon and his Guren Dan as it matures, where a new potential Spiral Nemesis might form from Dan. Basquash! is actually Aquarion sequel. Earthdash is the new world which Apollo, Sirius and Touma end up staying after the first series. Dan = Apollo's reincarnation. Iceman = Sirius's reincarnation. The general dude in the OP = Touma's reincarnation. Search your feeling you know it to be true. Ha ha, I doubt much people here watched Aquarion to get this one though Edited April 29, 2009 by REbirth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I think I'll give episode 1 a try, but I'm not convinced yet based on the comments on this forum. I actually dl all four eps already but never watched it and didn't even bother to read who created it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Watched the first four episodes. Pretty good sofar, nice mix of Gurren Lagan and French Sci-Fi noir. Love the way they are taking the piss with the standard shonen story. Wonder how they managed to convince Nike to go along with this, heh.

REbirth Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Eh, the RAW of episode 5 is out. Edit: Just watch it This week episode is not so good, so much happened but it's ruined by some badly animated screens and overall reused footages from the previous episodes. It turns out the Princess has an older sister, the term "Basquash!" is invented by Dan and there's a brief appearance of the moon guys ala antagonists, I think. Other than that, the Big Foot has a car form too. I wonder if the upcoming toy is transformable in the same way. And now Dan can control the BF just by dribbling the ball, in the cockpit, G-Gundam style. I still have no idea how the heck does that even work .

RedWolf Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) This ep gives the reason why Flora is going to be reverse trap. Geez... Bad parts of Rolling town has scum harassing women. You get the reason why Sela beats the crap off thugs. Flora was cornered by hoodlums and about to do unspeakable things to her till the rival team leader rescued her by throwing the big basketball on them. The comes in Dan telling him not flirt as they are still playing the 3 on 3 game. Oh Coco was there about to lend a hand with her chair's anti-pervert accesories but the rival team leader beat her to it.
