Overall, the show was paced perfectly, comedy was spot on, sight gags were more than perfect, more than enough media spoofs all throughout the show, and it was all just a generally fun ride throughout. I can safely say i've seen the op and ed every time and thats usually hard to do. Whereas watching the ending song gives you almost a nostalgic feeling (complete with black and white japanese history slide show) which you should be feeling after watching one episode of Abenobashi with all the fun spoofs and such. The op song is perfect as its a very up beat fun song excellent to set you in the mood of watching the show. The background music cosists usually of big band style music perfect for a comedy pair such as Ayumi and Sasshi. The high quality sound actually carrys on to the songs. It was so fun trying to spot all the different sound effects and spoofs and place them with their original place. But in this case, robbing or emulating the same sound effects are perfect for this show and whats makes this anime so top notch. Usually when somone hears the same sound effects robbed from other places its a bad thing. Speaking of sex theres alot of ecchi sittuations in this show, so if you don't mind a little skin with your comedy its there, Theres even a large amount of ecchi jokes that most people might find offensive but is still hilarious in their own right. The ugly characters are rife with age spots and the youthful characters are filled with beautfy and sexiness. Most of the other characters are so hilariously good that you'll wish you can get them out of you memory banks. You'll manage to love and hate both of them in equal amounts. Also my only gripe is that the cast sometimes talks too fast but thats also for comedy purposesĪnother thing with the characters is that the voice cast are just perfect for this show, the two main characters are polar opposites from each other but sometimes on occasion they switch roles which makes them fun to watch. Its hilarious how they manage to pull off so many anime, movie, and video game gags in such a small amount of time. They use comedy faces at the right times, drama faces at correct places, all of them are displayed with such timing and style its almost eerily perfect. I cant forget to mention that the shows characters all show such a diverse range of emotions (and body parts) that fit perfectly with every situation. Some comedy shows can get by just by having a poor art and great characters, but if you want to see what a comedy can be like with high qualtiy art, this would be the show. On top of that the comedy gags are just so funny you cant help but laugh out loud. And the art themes and backgrounds are very different in every episode which makes this show such a joy to watch. Theres so many dfferent handpainted backgrounds, that i lost count at about 100 per episode. Gainax and Madhouse are two of the best companies in the businesss and watching this show you'll see why. When you hear people talk about how important having a good production company is for an anime, Abenobashi would be a perfect example. Overall, the show manages to bring comedy, drama, action, fantasy, and even romance in to one nice fun 13 episode package. Beyond that everything will make sense the more you watch the show. connection will be that they are stuck in wierd (not random) enviroments. This is where the 'falling down the rabbit hole comes in' Some seasoned anime watchers will be thinking this is alot like Excel Saga but the only Of course noone wants to leave but then, everything just starts to go awry quite fast. Who happen to live in a rundown project area called Abenobashi Shopping District thats on the verge of being replaced with a new develpment complex. The story pretty much surrounds two really good friends Arumi and Sasshi. Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai is pretty much Excel Saga meets Alice in Wonderland, with a suprisingly good story line thrown in for good measure.
