| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, it looks like we finished the first major arc. In one sense they could have finished the series right here. Never-the-less, it will be interesting to see where they go with this series now. When you think about it, this series is actually a social commentary on the relationships between First World and Third World countries. But the nice thing is that the social commentary is done in an intelligent and entertaining manner, thanks in a large part to the great cast of characters. |
| Very entertaining episode, it was over before I realized it. Some Sela screentime, too. =D |

| Best ep yet, though was a little slow in the beginning, finished very strong!! The game or whatever it was..was so epic! I can't wait to see where it goes from here! Urahara Out!! |
 |
| Good twist there, finnaly things are getting in with a good pace. Great episode. Lol @ Bikini pics (and a nosebleed too xD) |
| that was such a good episode! I had expected the series to have devolved to team matches by now, but it doesn't look like it's going to at all now, and that's great! I think princess whats-her-name Allen should cut her hair personally. The one thing I did not like was the subtitle font, it was way too large and messed up a couple scenes with it's big fontness |
dbaranyi said: This episode felt like it was the turning point for this show, it wasn't very entertaining but it was very necessary. Dan actually has a brain, Coco seems like she isn't just an annoying girl that hates her brother for no good reason and Haruka was pretty fucking awesome, despite her gargantuan mammaries. Some very interesting character developments right here.Well, it looks like we finished the first major arc. In one sense they could have finished the series right here. Never-the-less, it will be interesting to see where they go with this series now. I'm very curious to see what exactly Coco wants from her brother, if it isn't her ability to walk. |
kuroshiroi said: it wasn't very entertaining but it was very necessary Necessary, most certainly, but I think it was pretty entertaining personally. It was a bit slow at the start, but the ending of this episode more than made up for the buildup in my opinion. It kinda gave me that giddy feeling I got while watching TTGL a lot in a way, the ending of this episode was amazing! I think this may the best single episode I've seen so far this season. |

| Wow, I thought this show was going to turn into some dull basketball game episode after episode, but this is just absolutely fantastic! Instead of fighting to win a mere game, they are fighting for a lifestyle. And the part where the ball bashes into the James Loane's suite and diamonds pouring out was just absolutely epic. Even Slash had to take a step back from being so dazzled. |
 |
| Loved it! Pure awesome ^^ Good slow part in the beginning that touches on the story And a totally epic battle in the end! classicalzawa said: The one thing I did not like was the subtitle font, it was way too large and messed up a couple scenes with it's big fontness I looked everywhere for different subs : ( It wasn't too bad though, I've actually seen way worse.. that's sad |
   |
| i finally got wat does basquash means xD lols |
     |
| agreed probably the best epd thus far, i really enjoyed everything towards the end. |
| Just best episode so far... And we have the full opening ! |

classicalzawa said: It kinda gave me that giddy feeling I got while watching TTGL a lot in a way, the ending of this episode was amazing! I think this may the best single episode I've seen so far this season. Yeah, I got that same vibe while watching TTGL, and I loved that show. After last episode I thought this was gonna turn into Dan becoming the best OCB player there ever was, saving his sister, then f*cking the OCB league, but it seems I underestimated him. This guy's Kamina with more baka genes. The ball filled with diamonds was pretty cool too. :) The episode itself started pretty slowly so I thought it was gonna be another cliffhanger, with less than 5 minutes of basquash. I didn't expect it to turn out being quite exciting at the end. |
| I think this is why I'm not liking Basquash so much. It really is TTGL except instead of Kamina dying...he's alive and supposedly smart. I have problems with this show trying to portray Dan as some kind of savant, because he just isn't. He's a simple minded dummy, so when I see him doing crazy things like trigonometry during these matches I totally get taken out of the moment. As for the social commentary, I think that's a misplaced comment. From the beginning the show has been about "revolution," so it's more about the "peasants" revolting and challenging the nobles' views on society. But in the end because all of that hinges solely on Dan, it kind of falls flat for me. Maybe all I need is one good character to latch onto. |
| The episode was really good,i really enjoyed it. |

Quickfox said: Wee Basquash vs. OCB! Nice seeing Dan showing up to rally up the crowd and players! I agree! I loved how the episode ends and now i cant wait for the next one! |

But the nice thing is that the social commentary is done in an intelligent and entertaining manner, thanks in a large part to the great cast of characters. I disagree, I don't see anything here that looks at the kind of relationship between first and third world countries at all. It certainly is about the rich and the poor, but in no way is it like first vs. third world in my opinion, from my first hand experience serving the poor from both kinds of places. |
| Here's where the show REALLY starts! BASQUASH! |
 |
| I thought the opposite really- liked the first half (well, sort of), couldn't stand the second. This series is really such a bore. I'm dropping it. |
 |
| James is not going to take that lying down.lol. Excellent episode, kinda felt like an ending in ways. Liked more Coco time this episode and the way it was shown. |
 |
| so will basquash or ocb be the winner? which will survive, thats the real question, that and whats up with the princess running away? why does she want to play basketball, and hide her identity like that, just seems kind of mysterious to me, how will she be important to the future of the plot?... |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| great episode and the song that was chosen was just so ccatchy and went so well with it. |
| This. Was. FUCKING AWESOME! |
| I finally understand what the show is all about. It took me a while to appreciate it. In fact, I was not in the mood to watch this episode. However, this episode finally caught my attention. I still think that this show is a little bit weird. I don't see anything good about it except the animation. Honestly, I still don't know where the story will go. Perhaps, is it still too early to judge it? |
     |
| Started slow but it was pretty awesome in the end Also just look at Iceman face i can't stop laughing...  |
| 'I can shit if you want it' - Spanky This is becoming epic. |
| The episode is very entertaining, and it was so enjoyable to watch it. I guess that could be finish for first major arc, and the next arc will be interesting for sure. It needs to have more Sela scenes, though. |

| This episode kicked ass, all that is needed to be said. |
| My anime list |
| fun, great episode. glad he didn't sign. |
 |
| Fucking intense episode. The OST, the stances, the action. Nice conclusion to this arc. |
 |
| OCB IS FOR SCRUBS. BASQUASH FTW!! FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN SO FAR, THIS SHOW IS PRETTY UNDERRATED. CAPS LOCK FTW! |
 |
| Another fun and interesting ep - looking forward to seeing where this goes from here. |
  |
| I guess Dan will carry his 5.3 billion debt a bit longer, at least he stayed true to his lifestyle instead of the 'official' OCB matches. Took 7 episodes but the journey finally starts. |
