BASQUASH! English Sub & Dub

About BASQUASH!

Here is what BASQUASH! (バスカッシュ！) is about, retold in plain terms: a mecha, sci-fi and sports anime by Satelight (2009). What the story covers: On the planet Earthdash, its inhabitants gaze on its moon and the technologically advanced lunar metropolis of Mooneyes with awe. Dan JD, a boy living in Rollingtown on Earthdash’s surface, gets caught up in Bigfoot Basketball — a fast-paced sport played with giant Bigfoot robots.

In a mecha series like this, robot design, combat scale and technical spectacle are the draw. Dan JD (Hiro Shimono) and Coco JD (Kana Hanazawa) are two of the characters you will meet early.

Think of it as a pick for fans of giant robots and large-scale battles. The run is 26 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Satelight is the studio behind BASQUASH!, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Because it leans on mecha, robot design, combat scale and technical spectacle are the draw. Its 6.7/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Hiro Shimono as Dan JD, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2009, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
