The Review
What an unusual anime. Here we have a sports anime that's made slightly different from the usual sports anime, by adding mechas. Of course it doesn't stop there. It continues on to be more then just about basketball playing mechas.
While watching Basquash!, I was in awe in how smooth and amazing the animation was. It truly had great animators working on it. The colors are strong, the view points are well done, and the special moves were amazing to see. Everything in the animation department was suburb.
The actual basketball games are borderline fighting. Eventually each character provides some sort of special that only they can do. Dan's special is obvious one of legend, seeing as how he's the main character.
There's a turning point in the series where everything gets far more complex. The plot thickens as it introduces the concept of Basquash being the game of the Gods. It continues on word to explain a prophecy, chance of characters being reincarnated from warriors in the past, and even adds Giants. It's actually really interesting for a sports anime.
