About BASQUASH!

Looking for background on BASQUASH! (バスカッシュ！)? This mecha, sci-fi and sports series by Satelight (2009) starts out like this. The setup: 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.

As a mecha title, 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.

This one is best suited to fans of giant robots and large-scale battles. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Satelight is the studio behind BASQUASH!, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion.

Voice casting, including Hiro Shimono as Dan JD, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2009, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
