Really interesting anime. I started this episode with low expectations but ended up being really impressed with the graphical quality and the character design.

We definitely have a winner.

This show has style and it really reminds me of Gurren Lagann. I have sky-high expectations for it now and I really hope I won't be disappointed.

Meh, didn't really do it for me. I had no sympathy for the main character's "I don't like it so no one should like it" attitude, or for his ungreatful sister. There wasn't too much in terms of actual giant robot basketball, so I may give it another episode, but it doesn't strike me as much as it has been with other people. It does remind me a lot of TTGL, so I expect it will be popular.

When I first heard this show announced I didn't have any doubts.

As expected I think that this is going to be one of my favorites this season, if not my favorite depending on how Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is. As with a lot of people I was also getting a lot of Gurren Lagann vibes from this show. The main character has a large breasted side-kick and they are both trying to attain something by reaching the heavens or in this case the moon. The animation is very smooth and crisp including the non-CGI portions, and the sound-track has been killer so far. I really can't wait until the next episode.

Loved her reaction after the BRB game ended. What clever placing of the spilled soda. Reminded me a lot of those orgasmic reactions from Aquarion. Wait, that was Kawamori also....hmm...

ironic that the one thing he hated most and wanted to get rid of, he just made even more popular, and it flourished
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

I read a description for the series and it was a little off-putting for me. I watched one of the trailers and thought it looked ridiculous, like a show that 4Kids would add to their weekend line-up. But I decided to check out the first episode just out of curiosity and man it was actually beyond my expectations.
Maybe this'll work out : J

Lol at Nike as a sponsor. I seriously don't know what to think of this though. I really enjoyed the animation and the concept of this crazy future, but I think a weak plot and cliche characters will be the downfall for me. I'll keep watching for now and enjoy the insanity of mecha basketball.

I was surprised they (Nike) sponsored anime. I do not see their logo in anime much.

This was one hell of a show, though the story seems too simple which might become the weakest point of the series. Also, i liked the characters which were introduced in the first episode. The animation is top-notch no complaints whatsoever, the best i have seen in a long time, it was pretty good music-wise as well. One of the few shows i will definitely keep watching in this season, hope it will keep up the good work ^^

OMS... this is so hell of an anime!!! I love basketball ant Basquash! is something worth to watch. I didn't expected very much from this but when I watched the first episode it was like : "Oh my god, it's amazing and it's BASKETBALL !!!" For me - Lithuanian basketball fan - that's was very amazing :3

Although I didnt dislike it I felt this episode dragged on and on. There were good scenes and the last part was good but it felt that 24 minutes were to much to deal with just this when we could have been dunno introduced the characters more?
I mean a whole year went by already?
I will wait for a couple more episodes and see.

It's so pretty that all I can really say is that this reeks of shounen cliche. Of course, this is how I felt when I first started Gurren Lagann, so I don't what to say/expect.

Maybe it'll defy the odds and be good.

The visual style was NICE, but the characters (other than Coco and Iceman, or whatever his name is) were utterly annoying.

Well, I guess they might get better ... ?

(Miyuki's boobs make my back hurt in sympathy. Anyone with boobs that big needs a good bra.)

At first I was sceptical to the idea of mixing basketball and mecha, but it proved to be a one of a heck hit for me. I'll be following it tightly.
