Basquash! An Epic Failure



In case you have started to see Basquash! I have one little piece of advice:
If you are already disappointed at it, well stop right now. It will get even worst!
If you still think it has been a good one so far, I suggest stop seeing it from now as you have to bare a lot of disappointment. BTW I have a little word with the Nike company:
Dude, even if I had the slightest interest in the Nike brand, thanks to this poor advertisement, it is all gone. I hope the drop sale in your shoes in Japan or other parts where this anime has been aired or distributed will give a good feedback about mixing brands in Animes: Epic fail! There is a good reason why sponsors like Square Enix, Aniplex, etc. are putting just a sign in the beginning or at the end of episodes and they are way more popular now. The reason is simple: They respect watchers! You are greedy. Well you might say pizza hut did it, why cant I do it. Honestly that one was a borderline. Many people started complaining about it and even called Code Geass the pizza hut series. Well the story was really good and there were not many ads in the anime, but good lord, you crossed the line way over. I hope the low rating of this series would be a good lesson for the rest of the big brands marketing managers thinking of forcing their product into animes: Just dont do it! Your sale will go down. Really down. Always remember: Respect the audience!

I think the only thing I liked about this series was the first ending song.
