I don't like Yang then and i don't like him now, his attitude is just annoying. Anyway, I think being strapped near Thousand is pretty tense because her expression^^ Rouge's punch on Thousand was a good one and I love it when Rouge kiss Dan at the end :D but poor Flora =.= The finale isn't far away so hopefully it doesn't turn out bad.

Rouge's punch was the second best thing in the episode.

The first, of course, being the return of Iceman!

And hopefully next week we'll have the return of DESTROY!

Did Iceman have both hands with metal now? Kinda forgot which arm of his had metal.

Anyway, good episode.

Rouge's punch was pure win :3
Dan x Rouge scene :3

I hope they don't screw up the ending, as it seems it lost its pace when they fell out from moon to earth.

Gawd - this series is getting worse and worse. Now the art work has totally tanked. Don't they have any QC checks on the character designs? Just watching those few seconds of commercials for the second DVD reminded me so clearly of what a huge potential this series had at the beginning, and how horribly it has been wasted.

What started out as a bright, witty and smart social satire has been turned into a ponderous, pretentious and totally predictable piece-of-shit.

well, first thing is yan, well i still hate him, so surprise there,hope he gets struck by a meteor or something fall from the moon.
rouge kicking butt was kinda cool and plus that scene at the end was nice.
whats up with the princess, i know shes not that surprised to see that rouge
has feelings for dan, but still sad for her.
the so called king is a retard trying to talk to the rock.
im glad iceman is back, but he needs a new arm and well im wondering how did
he get to the moon???
the episode was kinda lacking action, there was no basquashing of any sort and well
it was a pretty event-less episode, aside from rouge finally making a move on dan.
but this is just a episode that is building to next one.
on a side note, i did also notice that the animation is different from when it first
started, i really like the original animation.

Yeah, though I do think the last couple episodes looked okay, this one did not. At least the past like five-six episodes actually make a bit of sense now, though.

It's also obviously gone back into Gurren Lagann / Eureka 7 parody mode again. I like this.

Iceman is finally BACK! A good episode although the animation was pretty average. Hopefully the last few episodes will have better animation. I find it hilarious the fate of two planets is based on a game of basketball but with Basquash! you just have to go with it.

Pretty much. This ep was once again all over the place and all that drama felt weird and shallow.

The only good part was Rouge's punch

I think Thousand is an interesting character, who we of course get very little time with. I think that's one of the many problems with this show. There are a lot of characters, and a number of them who get screen time just aren't interesting. Glad to see James and Iceman back in the picture, but there was nothing really special about their appearences.

Other than that, Dan being dead felt really pointless. I was never concerned about this minor inconvenience, and sure enough, that's exactly what it was come the end of the episode. Yan is also an awful bad guy. He had his whole plan laid out, and failed to anticipate that maybe, just maybe, some of the meteorites might hit the city. That happens, Slash shows up, and we just kinda forget about Yan. Oh well.

All this crap is expected at this point. I have very little faith that they'll be able to pull off a good ending.

QFT. Basquash has been getting worse and worse each week, it'll surely end up a complete train wreck.

I don't remember which episode that silly shower scene with Eclipse, this or the last one, but if that's all they've got, a lot more people have to be fired.

Gawd. This doesn't make any more sense at all. By the way did you notice Coco just flies anywhere, like one day she's on the moon and another on earth, and she's just there when dan's there or what ? -.- And oh come on, whe're not in sleeping beauty or snow white, so now they're trying to make us swallow that dan revived because Rouge kissed him ? Bullshit. And what's with all the crap with Flora, did she cry cause she saw them kiss ? And come on what the hell, play basketball to save the world ? This is ridiculous.

Then again, this is total randomn crap you can't understand a thing.

Rouge's punch on Thousand was awesome, and I am not surprised that Iceman was back. This episode was decent so far.

This anime had so much potential. Why do some anime just fall into randomness.

Everything was much better without these rushes, so far the only good thing has been the backstory of Iceman, and now a moon-earthdash basketball fighting match?

I don't think this will have a good end.

This turned from "so ridiculous it's good" to "so ridiculous it's awful". I bet Newton, Lagrange, and co. are rolling in their graves right now...

They do this, I give it a 10 at the end instead of a 3.

This is not a parody. They're being totally serious.
Bad episode.
"I'll kiss him, and that'll save his life!" What?!
This episode was just full of dumb moments. I can't believe we're not done yet, and I can't believe that there is going to be yet another League.

The only episode where Dan doesn't show his stupidity because he is unconscious and the damn world is collapsing. Bit sad for Flora witnessing Rouge revive-kissing Dan there at the end, even more for Miyuki who is totally out of the picture.
