First of all, I love the new OP and ED theme^^ it's better than the first one :) The battle between Dan's team and 'King of Kings' is pretty good(great animation quality especially in the rain), but I actually prefer the opponent's BigFoot design more than Dan's. I actually can't believe Dan's team are struggling in the beginning but their comeback is just awesome, making the episode even better to watch :D The BigFoot(Slash's) at the very end is unexpected, nice agility but Dan would look good in that one^^

The new op is definitely the best of the season so far (not that there is anything else thats actually good...), and the ED is great aswell. I still prefer first op though, as this one is good, but doesn't really suit Basquash...

Awsome ending theme and ep! Thing's seems to starting to get serious. And Dan just powned Slash in the end, even though all he did was just touch his big foot lol.

First of all, I love the new OP and ED theme^^ it's better than the first one :) The battle between Dan's team and 'The Worst' is pretty good(great animation quality especially in the rain), but I actually prefer the opponent's BigFoot design more than Dan's. I actually can't believe Dan's team are struggling in the beginning but their comeback is just awesome, making the episode even better to watch :D The BigFoot(Slash's) at the very end is unexpected, nice agility but Dan would look good in that one^^

Uh.... are you sure you're even watching the correct episode? They weren't even up against The Worst. They were playing against the King of Kings. Fail raw watching is fail.

This was a pretty decent episode. Team Basquash makes their comeback and wins and Sela's pops gets assassinated. They're finally going to the moon. I wonder what kind of competition they'll find there.

I don't like the new OP that much but the ED was ok, but I still prefer the old OP and ED.

The just proved that the shoes makes the player made me laugh, that aside I do agree with everyone that the OP just does not seem right. Maybe they where wearing the wrong shoes when they made the change.(bad joke I know)

Proper episode but it lacked energy. Or I could say it's your generic sport anime at this point. The new OP is ok, but doesn't come anywhere near No Limit!, and the new ED is horrid (along with its animation).

finally a good ep after 2 bad ones IMO, it seems like Basquash can still be good at times and we finally get to see some moon action and why can't Slash be a girl lol.

Not a bad episode, not as exciting as the previous ones though. Wonder how Sela's gonna react in the next episode.

OP was nice, a good replacement for the first one. The ED however was a bit weak compared to the previous one.

Yeah, this episode kind of failed at being the climax of the first half since it couldn't top the episode before. This felt oddly disconnected from all of the energy that 13 had. The beginning monologues were quite lame and probably is the cause for the strangely somber tone.

I hated that for whatever reason, flying around is allowed, and that all of that was fixed by putting on a new pair of Nike basketball shoes.

Just Do It.

Well it was a pretty good episode, but i can't say that I like the new OP very much, but it'll probably grow on me later. I loved the ED though, and i hope they'll meet Eclipse soon again so we can get some more lovely music by them.

Also i can't stop wondering if James will "disguise" himself as "Captain Ball" or something like that as he's wearing some strange helmet in the OP when everyone is looking out towards the moon.

I really want to say that it was a good match, I really do, but I feel so...nitpicky I guess. It was a slaughter. Slaughters aren't all that interesting. But wait, new pair of Nikes (on sale now at your local shoe store)? Now it's a come back slaughter! ...still not all that interesting. The flying seemed like a rediculous advantage, and made the comeback seem even more rediculous. And did anyone else notice that they only used the windmill basket? I thought reaching the hight of the other building would have been a more appropriate end. Oh well, I'll keep crossing my fingers for more Rolling Town quality.

New OP and ED...meh. No Limit would always get me pumped for an episode, and the new OP didn't even come close to that. Free had a nice beat that went well with the basketball animations. New ED, not so much.

It was interesting to watch, it kept the entertainment level up for sure, but it did seem like something was missing from it. and i definitely like the old intro/ending better, not that these aren't good, they just dont seem to suit it as well.

Nice pass!

Nice episode, but it lacks something.. It doesn't feel as "epic" as some of the other episodes have been.

Really like the new OP and ED but I still prefer the old ones. Maybe these will grow on me, but I doubt they can top the old ones since they're so good.

Lol, Team Basquash won thanks to the rain and new shoes. It's like the 1954 FIFA World Cup with the rain and "Adi" Dassler's (Adidas) new shoes helping the german team win the final. Of course here they're wearing Nike, some way to troll maybe? :p

Nice episode, with great animation as always but it didn't feel as exciting as it should have been. Like others have said, it lacked something which didn't make it the mid-season climax.

I like the animation in the new OP. The ED was kind of weird, with Basquash Bigfoots dancing to idol pop and all.

Kinda like the new OP and ED was kinda okay.

Still didn't get the sudden emergence of Iceman's bionic arm and the "assasination" near the end there but everything else was fine though Team Basquash's revival after getting the new boots were a bit cheesy to my taste.

Guess we're seeing the works of the new director. So many things were wrong with this episode.
I honestly don't hope it'll get worse than this. I loved Basquash, especially ep 7.

This episode was not bad, but it was not more exciting as the previous ones, and I wondered how Sela’s react to his father was assassinated. The OP was good while ED was decent, and I have no comment on these ones; however, I prefer the old OP and ED.

For all those who think the bionic arm is sudden, think again tbh...
Iceman have always had long sleves and gloves on his left arm even if it short on his other. He also seemed to protect that arm throu out the whole series, holding it tightly when getting hit, constantly watching it etc. The fact that something was wrong with that arm aren't even close to a sudden idea from the new director.

@ the new op and end; the op was kinda good but was a bit lacking, the ending was nothing short of a bag filled with rubish. The look was closer to a ddr spoof than a basquash end imo.

so ganz comes back with shoes specially for the rain, and they end up winning; but what happened to sela's father? was he killed or something?
either way, team basquash is going to the moon, but first they'll have to fix iceman's artificial limb it seems
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

Ganz you fool, why the hell you gotta have lunch right exactly when you need to deliver the game winning shoes. Iceman threw one too many destroy balls there now that his arm is injured and as for Sela I'm curious how she gonna react to her dad being assasinated. I guess at this point basquash has 0% basketball in it considering Falcon literally flew the whole match with the ball.
