ntsan Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 New official site opened today http://basquash.com/ trailer http://www.catsuka.com/player.php?id=basquash_trailer Robot + basketball.. I bet YF-21 can do that too! Looks like a 50/50 production between japanese and french? Quote
mike_s_6 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I have to agree, it looks really nice Quote
Graham Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Pass, no thanks. I have no interest in basketball playing robots. C'mon Shoji, let's have more Macross! Graham Quote
eugimon Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 similar to what I thought of eureka 7... "sky surfing robots? lame" boy was I wrong. anyways, I like basketball and robots! Plus the production quality looks great and I dig the music. Quote
Kronnang Dunn Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Pass, no thanks. I have no interest in basketball playing robots. C'mon Shoji, let's have more Macross! Graham I used to think that way of robots/mecha playing sports, until I saw "2020 Baseball" in the old Neo Geo game system. The concept was pretty kewl, since players literally blow to pieces if stroke by the ball (in that game). Will check if Kawamori took one or two ideas from it...

Graham Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Never watch basketball (find it boring) and haven't played since high school 23 years ago.........LOL! As you can gather, a basketball anime, even it it is with robots and by Kawamori, is way, way down on my list of things to follow. Graham Quote

Even to Kawamori standards... They are actually transforming mecha that change from pimp-mobiles to human piloted mecha basket-ball players... The CGI animation is superb...

Gui Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I wasn't really thrilled by the concept when I first heard about it on ANN but I have to say that this trailer got my interest: I'll take a close look at it when it'll be available Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Is that music by who I think it is? Quote
azrael Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Pass, no thanks. I have no interest in basketball playing robots. C'mon Shoji, let's have more Macross! What, you can't wait for Summer 2009? I probably pass. Kamen Rider DCD looks interesting though.... Quote
wolfx Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 The main torsos of the mecha is a car! MEGAS XLR? Now if only they were variable,..... Quote
UN Spacy Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Will it have orgasm gattai? It's got a jet grind radio feel to it...and that's a good thing. Quote
miriya Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I just dont know what to think about this. It could be really cool or really lame. I love Kawamori and I love robots but I am not a fan of basketball. The animation looks good and I like the music but I dont really see myself getting into this anime. I am just finishing Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gurren Lagann (I am watching them back and forth) and I am feeling like watching more stuff along those lines. I will give it a fair chance though. Strange as it may appear at first. I liked the mecha for planet engage kissdum better although I have not seen the anime yet just the mecha designs. Quote
Ghost Train Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 It will be interesting to see. I'm sort of an NBA fan (Detroit Pistons fan to be precise). An occasional break from cliche mecha pr0n is always a breadth of fresh air. Quote
Zinjo Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) BTW SK's new project Basquash official site is open. http://basquash.com/ PV download： http://basquash.com/movie/www/pv081210.wmv Looks kinda fun... Mecha basketball. It can't be anymore strange a premise than surfing mecha. Eureka 7 turned out to be pretty good! Edited December 10, 2008 by Zinjo Quote
Xeros Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Maybe they play basquetball on valks xD Edited December 10, 2008 by Xeros Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Know what I'm suddenly thinking? "Are you funky enough to be a Globetrotter? Are you?" "Yes?" "ARE YOU?" Quote
Morpheus Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 BTW SK's new project Basquash official site is open. WTF, MegasXLR playing basket? Quote
Morpheus Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 similar to what I thought of eureka 7... "sky surfing robots? lame" boy was I wrong. anyways, I like basketball and robots! Plus the production quality looks great and I dig the music. Eureka is fine since they surf while destroying other mech, but in MegasKawaXLR, I doubt it will involve any battle at all, if its only basketball match with more Yu-Gi-Oh type teen, I declared it as a heretic.

miriya Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 C'mon Shoji, let's have more Macross! Yeah. I agree. More macross would be best. Something makes this look a bit Kiddy to me. Does Kawamori have a kid? Maybe he is doing the Lucas thing. Quote
MisaForever Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Wow..... WTF Ok, I'll wait to pass judgement. Looks interesting but it's not Macross. It better have sexy chicks >_> Ok, I've watched the trailer. Very interesting I must say but.... such a drastic change from Macross. It could be good, we shall see. Edited December 10, 2008 by MisaForever Quote
ly000001 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Know what I'm suddenly thinking? "Are you funky enough to be a Globetrotter? Are you?" "Yes?" "ARE YOU?" <Its dreams dashed, a Battroid walks slowly away, sadly whistling "Sweet Georgia Brown"> Quote
Final Vegeta Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 People commenting a show before having watched it. Internet at its finest FV Quote
Roy Focker Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Modern Cartoonish Character Designs = Pass Mecha Design with Sneakers Playing Basketball = Pass Quote
Twoducks Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Good thing I watched the trailer, for I moment I thought I read "baseball" (snore) instead of basketball (not snore). Looks like it has very good animation quality and the mecha designs look fun. Wonder if they'll go the cheesy way and have power ups in the form of new shoes Quote
protostar8 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Looks lame... I think they've finally run out of cool ideas... Quote
taksraven Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Pass, no thanks. I have no interest in basketball playing robots. C'mon Shoji, let's have more Macross! Graham Agreed, no time for frivolous crap. Taksraven Quote

When Monty Python's Life of Brian came out, most of the protesters against this film had not seen it. And they wanted it BANNED! Same with the Last Temptation of Christ. Taksraven Quote
JB0 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Wonder if they'll go the cheesy way and have power ups in the form of new shoes They damn well BETTER! Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 no dude.... they get an afro addon and can skyhook from the other end of the court... Quote
Dante74 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 So I guess if his Hory Froatiness is working on this, we won't be getting a new Macross series next season? Quote
eugimon Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 So I guess if his Hory Froatiness is working on this, we won't be getting a new Macross series next season? Well, maybe it will mean quality Macross projects and not endless reboots or minor variations on the same story? Quote
bandit29 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 yeah robot basketball anime...the only thing cooler would be robot soccer anime... Quote
