action

In a distant galaxy a planet exists the Earthdash is called and a huge moon is in its orbit where the high society in the city Mooneyes to live, while life on the planet is quite poor and the entire landscape a huge slum represents . Everyone dreams of being able to live in this glittering world with progressive supplies. In the meantime, large, manned, human-controlled robots have established themselves in the lower world. They do the heavy daily work, but at the same time also serve the police and compete against each other in basketball games . Protagonist Dan JD these robots, which are called Bigfoots , are a nuisance. Not only was his sister Coco badly injured in the legs by someone in her childhood, so that she now has to sit in a wheelchair - they also play in the only league for basketball, in which good human players cannot participate because they are simply too small are. At the same time, the games are broadcast on all TVs in the city to keep the population frugal.

Dan uses the opportunity to go on forays with his gang, during which he tries to destroy as many televisions as possible. While he is being followed on his skateboard by the law enforcement officers , the others plunder the destroyed television sets and then sell the parts to a dealer. This is how they get money and at the same time Dan calms his conscience by damaging the league as much as possible. He wears a mask during his actions and has made a name for himself with a far-reaching reputation as the Dunk Mask . His mask, on the other hand, is a living animal called Spanky, which can both speak and appears to be insatiable, as it simultaneously eats Dan's new gift for Coco when she refuses it - although it is a conspecific.

Frustrated during a lonely round of basketball, he meets Miyuki Ayukawa, who persuades him to control a Bigfoot built by her and her grandfather . He can get enthusiastic about it very quickly and rushes the vehicle until it crumbles into its parts when the next morning comes. Without going into any further background, she gave him three tickets to one of the games. It is here that he runs across Sela D Miranda for the first time, who sells cold drinks and stamps him and his gang as lower creatures. However, he is very frustrated looking at the game. The entire event is more like a marble game , which is so much upgraded for the television broadcasts that it looks like extreme action. During his outburst of anger, he is stopped by Spanky and wakes up some time later when Miyuki has entered the stadium. Remembering his childhood with Miyuki again, they both run outside. He also uses the Bigfoot that Miyuki has repaired and made available to him to put on a big show as an uninvited guest. At this, the whole audience including Sela fell into full enthusiasm, so that the stadium collapsed. Dan is eventually stopped by regular player Iceman Hotty and ends up in jail, where he is sentenced to a year in prison.

On the day of his release, he finds that his way of playing basketball has spread like wildfire and has become a legend. So his fans pounce on him and he has numerous admirers. When he arrives at Coco's apartment, his sister quickly brings him back down to earth. With his fame, he not only inherited the title of legend, but also a legendary amount of debt, as he was charged for the destroyed stadium and the failures of various entrepreneurs. So Dan tries to work for Miyuki as a "Bigfoot courier" but quickly finds out that he has got tough competition. Among others, Sela D Miranda represents a new rival for him, to whom he is initially inferior. During their argument, they are attacked by an unknown third party who manages to severely damage the Bigfoots of the two rivals without revealing his identity.

Characters

Dan JD ( ダ ン ・ JD )

He is the protagonist of the series and a passionate basketball player, who is described by Theoron Martin as athletic and angry at the same time. Dan holds a grudge against the league known as BFB , which only plays Bigfoots, because one of them seriously injured his sister Coco in her childhood. Since then it has become known as the Dunk Mask and has been hunting down any TV that broadcasts the games. He is supported by his pet Spanky ( ス パ ン キ zur), which can also be transformed into smaller items of clothing, such as his mask. Not fully aware of his deeds, he eventually becomes a legend.

Miyuki Ayukawa ( ミ ユ キ ・ ア ユ カ ワ )

As a dark-skinned beauty, Miyuki is said to take on a role similar to Yōko Rittonā in Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann . She quickly embarrasses Dan with her large bust and doesn't seem to be aware of her revealing nature herself. This leads to situations that are deliberately designed to be ambiguous and make you into a figure that is used for fan service deposits.

Sela D Miranda ( セ ラ ・ D ・ ミ ラ ン ダ )

First, Miranda is introduced as a resident of the world and a seller of cold drinks in the newly built stadium. She has light skin color and silver-blonde hair and, like Dan, carries around with her a pet called Crawley ( ク ロ ー リ ー ), which looks like a white snake. Martin Theoron noted that she was so passionate about good basketball that she pretty obviously had an orgasm in the first episode even though the stadium collapsed around her. She also shows this masochistic behavior in dangerous situations in further episodes .

Iceman Hotty ( ア イ ス マ ン ・ ホ ッ テ ィ )

Iceman is a former BFB player whose league collapsed after being disrupted by Dan. Analogous to Dan, however, he hates the developing streetball , even though it was he who defeated Dan on his performance. After Dan's release, he hunts down other players like a choleric by throwing balls at them so hard that their Bigfoots are inoperable. He takes no account of the inmates, but makes an impression on Sela, as it seems to be the only man who seems to be up to her.

All of Bogard ( ガ ン ツ ・ ボ ガ ー ド )

At the beginning of the plot, he goes on raids through the city together with Dan and Bel, cannibalizing the television sets that Dan has destroyed and selling them to a dealer for profit. He hasn't changed much since Dan was arrested, but now works for Miyuki as a mechanic.

Bel Lindon ( ベ ル ・ リ ン ド ン )

Fat Bel took over the coordination of the raids and gave instructions from a distance, stuffing masses of food into himself and being described by the others as too fat or fat. He also works for Miyuki after Dan is released, but mainly takes on the planning and light auxiliary work.

Sōichi Ayukawa ( ソ ー イ チ ・ ア ユ カ ワ )

He is an elderly man who is Miyuki's grandfather and a former lunar resident who voluntarily returned to earth. Like Miyuki, he has a great talent at fixing the Bigfoots, but is also quite stubborn. Like many other characters, he also has a fetish as an older man , which manifests itself in him as a predilection for big things, although Haruka's big breasts are just right for him.

Haruka Gureishia ( は る か ・ グ レ イ シ ア )

As a shoe designer, as a mature woman from the moon, she has not only very pronounced breasts but also an extreme form of foot and shoe fetishism . She prefers to talk to people at the feet of people and derives the character traits and decisions of her interlocutors from their shape. As a designer, she is said to have designed the Bigfoots' shoes in the series.
