Similar Feel/Style =! Ripoff Speaking of the soundtrack I was surprised that Taku Iwasaki wasn't doing this considering he did Lagann/Soul Eater as well as working on Thomas Romain's Oban Star-Racers.. and he seems to be using hiphop more and more in his works... seemed like he would've been a perfect fit... but it gives Kei Yoshikawa a chance so let's see how he goes. |

That means you miss every Mazinger series ever. Now go watch Mazinger. I mean it. Hip hop soundtrack? Yeah, sure Dancougar Nova did that along with Gurren Lagann time to time. And holy sh!t. Eureak Seven did that too. I'm just saddened that no one draw an obvious parallel line between this and MegasXLR, I mean just look at both shows!!! |

I know what Mazinger is.. I saw the butchered Americanized version of aka Tranzor Z when I was 5 or 6 and I went back to it later on.... Also saying Mazinger is like Gurren Lagann in style is like saying Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaquille O'Neal played the 5 (center) position the same way.
E7 was more trance. |

And these traits are obviously the thing BASQUASH is going for, kids and old schoolers will love the freak out of it. Don't watch Shin Mazinger atm though, it's going to give you a big mindfrak. |

And the point wasn't "it's all been ripped from older stuff" it's stop comparing ever damn thing to the one megapopular mecha show you saw because it's all you've seen and ANYthing with Mecha is going to remind you of it. Gurren Lagann wasn't even trying to BE original--it was a tribute/parody almost. It was meant to be the Hot Fuzz of mecha. Let's not pretend it was doing anything but rehashing everything ever done in mecha over the last decade, without taking any of it seriously. And most people saying that haven't seen an episode yet, sooo yeah. Jinsoo, the fanart is great! I was thinking of doing one myself. I like the idea of ANOTHER hot-blooded, b-ball playing redhead once again! |

Holy sh!t, finally someone who acknowledges the true nature of GL. Not that I hate GL or anything, I fricking love every second of it, but it wasn't original and didn't even try to be original. |

I honestly don't really care that much about "originality". And in any case, I still prefer shows like GL or Basquash that spawned from the minds of their creators, rather than watching an anime studio always playing the safe route by doing visual novel and 4koma adaptions which take little effort in terms of planning and concept design.

...and fricking umai is so slow, at this state, seems like Shin Mazinger will be getting subs first before Basquash. |

This is pointless.. and lol @ the new Mazinger being a mindfuck, it's clearly a near last episode aired as the first, it's been done before and it will be done again. |

Honestly, I don't see this trying to be GL or SE anything more than it trying to be a new shounen/ super robot show. |

But you are right, this is kind of pointless, because this is just the first episode. And we don't have any freaking subs yet. If I was here back when GL's first episode was airing, I could totally say GL = One Piece with rowboats due to the shounen characters, animation style and the goddamn piracy theme. |

I'm talking about the way the show is drawn and the design sense. And once again, the scenes in the Basqash promos with the redheaded protagonist shouting passionately as he slam dunks are DIRECT lifts from Slam Dunk! if anything. The angle and everything is identical from the exact same moments in that anime, not Gurren. And since when are Gurren and Soul Eater the first ever anime series to try and be "hip"? Anime series are following those music cues because it's a trend--not a trend GL started either. Get over it. Hey, I guess The World Ends with You is ripping off Gurren Lagann, too. It has the same style and music taste... Westlo, could you kindly curb your flailing until you've actually SEEN an episode or two of the show you're reaming?? This show looks more like a straight-up sports series with mechs thrown in to add some semblance of originality, not the standard mecha show in the first place. Quote:
