Ep 3 was awesome! I knew this show would be a hit, and as usual, I called it. -pats back- I love how this show keeps surprising me! It sets you up to think you know where it's going and who each character is and then kicks you in the butt with something totally different. |

lol. we are getting curves from everywhere. Nobody expected iceman to be such a psycho and Sela to be so obcessed with having a kid. I was also so amazed at how she dropped Dan so quick. I would call her fickle. I bet as soon as Dan does something incredible that moves her, she is going to switch back to Dan.

Nah, Iceman is more mature than Dan. Iceman has more basketball skills that's why Sela wants his genes. Iceman and Dan basically feel the same way about basketball. They want to destroy anything that desecrates it. Dan with Bigfoot basketball and now Iceman with Streetball. As soon as Sela sees a better player, she'll do it all over again with the next guy.

Everybody has stuff that ticks them off. I explained the rationale in the post above. Overall Iceman is more mature imo. The way he carries himself is an indicator. Just don't mention "streetball". Once he's convinced that Streetball does not desecrate basketball, he'll calm down.

I quite agree.
No, really, I don't think people who hide their inner feelings to the point of losing their cool like that could be considered anything like mature, myself.

man, I'm glad that people here are taking the fanservice well. The some people over at the ANN forum are acting like someone took a dump in their cereal. Man, you can have an anime with a plot as absurd as gaint mechs that play basketball with a complete disregard of the laws of physics, but the moment you give a character breast one cup size too big, people get riled up.
Any, I enjoyed episode 3 but I'm not liking how the series 1st establish Dan as a complete badass only to nerf him in the 2nd and 3rd episode. Does he really deserve his title? |

He was never a badass. It's always been implied that he couldn't play basketball very well and that his sister was the true sports genius.
Now, there's no telling he couldn't develop into a real legend, but he was never really one, to begin with.

If you look in episode 2, they did the same thing with Miyuki's breast when she was running. |

Well, this epi was for Iceman, but... xDD Destroy, destroy, destroy was really funny
Sela is a true M, and the princess "I feel an evil aura" made me laugh so much and remember me something lol Dan instead, after lose against sela and iceman at the end put a good fight, so i wait the next epi

Oh, I must see what that forum is saying.... Edit: Went here. Not enough drama. Some people have a prob with Miyuki's assets now going to have a problem with Haruka's assets. Get a load of this review that was a link from the ANN thread. You'd think that Sela's orgasms and sperm request would have generated more talk than Miyuki's assets. Oh well...

But he carries himself mature and 18 is prob his age. Dan is acting like your prototypical shonen protag. It's not really called "mature". If he was mature, he'd be practicing instead of thinking 'he's all that" when he ain't.

My thoughts exactly, Keiichi_chan. Oh well, let's see how the story plays out - I'd even hazard a guess and say not a single one of the characters we've seen so far is exactly "mature".
Okay, maybe that "Lunar Bust" chick. Oh, and orion, I don't think real age has any intrinsic relevance towards maturity, myself.
