The episode is alright i guess, but it's good to see Iceman back in a BigFoot again^^ Dan is still not awake, but at least he has Rouge to take care of him XD James and Haruka actually hold hands, so they still have a good relationship with one another. I'm not sure what Miyuki was planning there, if Dan didn't open his eyes then we would have a tragedy there.

A blue space butterfly. Really now, is that the best they could come up with for transportation to the moon? And it's powered by singing. How much crazier can you get.

On another note, it's really cool to see Iceman again, and it looks like he's doing all right too.

With each episode this anime is better and better. Butterfly was weird, but that is what I love in this anime, you don't exactly know what will happen next. Only one thing is annoying me: size of ball's light. Just what size is entire planet that you can see it on 1/4 planet area from moon?

It is more like we don't want to guess what will happen next because it would be stupid to do so.

Can they have any better idea to save the day? A moe song that could stop a war was stupid enough and now we get

It was a pretty wacky episode but Basquash is a pretty wacky show. The animation quality has finally got back on track. Hopefully the last two episodes will actually have a lot of scenes with people playing Basquash.

This show hasn't done one logical thing since the very first episode? So why am I this disgusted by the giant butterfly taking everyone to the moon?

I don't know.

I also loved how the giants get revealed to the humans for the first time and no one cares.

When are they gonna realize that the only way to save the day is to get Bruce Willis to drill a hole in the moon and nuke it from the inside?

I agree, it wasn't that bad after all. The spaceship to the moon could've been less stupid, but whatever.

With Iceman back, I hope these 2 last episodes save what little this series has left.

Oh gee golly willikers, Iceman and Falcon put aside their unresolved differences and are now the bestest of friends!

And look, not only are the giants that have been kept secret from moon society for many many years now revealed to the public with minimal (if any) response, but they also just happen to be really really good at Basquash!

Now, let's sing a cheesy song and fly to the moon on a butterfly!

Other than that, episode was ok. James as Nike made me smile, and I still enjoy their story. My heart stopped for a moment when Miyuki fell, but then anime gravity kicked in and Dan had a good minute or two to take his time with a recovery. If the final match is Dan Sela Iceman, I might actually enjoy it to some degree.

I'm astounded that they could so easily not only make the entire story a piece of shit, but they were also able to simultaneously totally screw up the character designs. They really, really shouldn't be doing those flashbacks to the early episodes when the animation was actually acceptable, because that just reinforces the horrible lack of quality in the current episodes.

I've got a new name for this series - "Bad Squash" - as in when you have a nice looking pumpkin and open it up to carve a jack-o-lantern, but the inside is all putrid and full of moldy slime. Bad Squash started out looking pretty, with lots of potential, but now there is nothing else to do with it but throw it onto the compost pile.

This episode was decent, I suppose. I failed to understand why they try to make butterflies for transportation to the moon because it was very strange to do that. Moar Rouge.

Hey, in Macross Frontier, the aliens of outerspace can be controlled by singing. Lawl
This isn't any different. Just weirder. lawl

Iceman was a "failed legend," so he can really do the thunderbolt like Dan.
Dunno why he used it only now though...bad arm perhaps? :'o

True, that's why I'm not complaining since it's been this weird from the beginning...so I don't see the reason to be surprise by every little thing.
I can't wait for the series to get any weirder now. Lawl

Well, glad Iceman is back. ='D

This episode was great. Nobody else caught the parody of Evangelion in Slash's speech? I'm a little disappointed. At least someone else here mentioned Macross, thank heavens. This is pretty much a parody / trope subversion series after all. It pretty much always has been and I suspect will continue to be (inasmuch as I haven't seen the last two episodes though they've aired already).

The art's better in this ep, too!


EDIT: Shoot, is the butterfly thing an ARIA/Boogiepop reference? That song sounds like it's supposed to be a style parody of ARIA's various OPs.

So Giants existing is not a suprising fact anymore considering they revealed the Giants team and nobody batted an eye. Great to see Miyuki stealing the spotlight from Rouge and bringing Dan to some old rocks which wake him up, really wish they had developed her better.
