Anime / Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi
Arumi and Sasshi are two twelve-year-olds who have grown up together in the Abenobashi shopping arcade in Osaka. But the arcade and the neighborhood around it are now slated for redevelopment; one by one, the old familiar buildings are being torn down. Worse, Arumi and her family are moving to Hokkaido. What's poor Sasshi to do?
Well, none of that really matters, after Arumi's grandfather is hospitalized in an accident that destroys the last of four "guardian" figurines that bound the shopping district. Before their eyes, the neighborhood changes. Sasshi and Arumi find themselves trapped in a warped version of Abenobashi, as if it were an RPG, with everyone they know recast as NPCs.
But once they fight their way through the game's plot in grand slapstick style, thinking they will then return home, they find themselves transported to an outer space version of Abenobashi. then a Hong Kong martial arts movie version. then a dinosaur-filled, prehistoric one. And many more. Will Sasshi and Arumi ever get back to the real Abenobashi? Why are they "jumping" in the first place? Who is that blue-haired sorcerer who appears to be going through a mid-life crisis?
A Deconstructive Parody of a dozen or more genres of film and anime, Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi (Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai) generously trowels thick layers of off-the-wall comedy on top of a surprisingly serious storyline, one you're likely to forget about. Made by Gainax and Madhouse, the show makes both subtle and in-your-face references to various other series.
The anime originally aired from April to June 2002 for 13 episodes. There is also a two-volume Manga adaptation, which is even weirder. The basic plot is pretty much the same, although different worlds are visited, the ones that are in the show are different, and there's a character not shown in the anime (with the exception of a "blink and you'll miss her" scene in the twelfth episode). While unfortunately the manga is no longer in print due to the demise of Tokyopop, cheap used copies can be found on Amazon, or if you're lucky, your local used bookstore.
From spellbinding potions to enchanted trinkets, there is something for everyone. Every shop in the arcade has its own theme and charm, carefully curated to provide a truly immersive experience. You can wander through a mystical bookstore where books come to life and tell their own stories, or explore a whimsical candy shop where edible wonders await at every corner. The options are endless, and every shop is a delight to discover. But it's not just the shops that make the magical shopping arcade truly special. Throughout the day, various street performers and magical creatures roam the pathways, entertaining visitors with their extraordinary talents. From jugglers to acrobats, and even the occasional unicorn sighting, the arcade truly brings magic to life. As you explore the arcade, you may stumble upon hidden passages or secret rooms that lead to unexpected adventures. You might find yourself transported to a magical forest, complete with talking animals and hidden treasures. Or perhaps you'll be whisked away to the skies, riding a magical hot air balloon high above the arcade, taking in the breathtaking views. Food is no ordinary affair in the magical shopping arcade. Alongside traditional eateries, you'll find whimsical cafes serving colorful concoctions and fantastical feasts. Indulge in treats that seem to defy gravity or sip on drinks that change colors and flavors with every sip. Each bite or sip is a symphony of flavors, leaving you craving more. At night, the magical shopping arcade transforms into a spectacle of lights and wonder. The enchanting displays and decorations take on a whole new life as they illuminate the night sky. Fireworks dance across the horizon, casting a mesmerizing spell on all who witness them. Leaving the magical shopping arcade is no easy task. As you bid farewell to this extraordinary realm, you can't help but feel a sense of longing, knowing that leaving this fantasy behind means returning to the ordinary world. But fear not, for you can always return whenever your heart desires, and embark on another adventure in this enchanting paradise. So, if you ever find yourself yearning for a truly magical experience, look no further than the magical shopping arcade. Step through its doors, and prepare to be transported to a world where dreams come true and the impossible becomes possible..
