Trivia / Basquash!

• Executive Meddling: Director Itagaki Shin, chief animator Hirata Katsuzo and other staff were fired after episode 9 because of low Blu-ray sales of Vol. 1, and it seems the majority of fans ultimately didn't like the turn the series took with the new staff.
• No Dub for You: It was released in the U.S. by Maiden Japan, but sub only.
• Portmanteau Series Nickname: A peculiar example of this being the actual name; "Basquash" seems to be a mixture of "Basketball" and "Sasquash" (ie "Bigfoot.")
  • Given Dan's penchant for ricocheting, wouldn't it more likely just be a portmaneau of "Basketball" and "Squash?"
  • Or alternatively, "Basketball" and "Boobsquash".
