Not so for Sasshi, whose glass may have been half empty, if all his prize possessions hadn't been destroyed when his house was demolished. Mystery! Abenobashi Shopping Arcade Life at Abenobashi Shopping Arcade may drawing to a close for friends Sasshi and Arumi, but Arumi's determined to look on the bright side of things, happy to have her health at least.
MAGICAL SHOPPING ARCADE ABENOBASHI EPISODE HOW TO
They now have to figure out how to get back to their own world, pretty hard when they have no idea just why any of this is happening.ġ3 episodes of Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi are presented across 4 discs, in this collection from ADV Films.
Suddenly Arumi and Sasshi are jumping dimensions, hopping from one Abenobashi Shopping Arcade to the next, all wildly different, yet all containing the same people in different roles. Her family's Pelican restaurant is the last symbol of the four gods, but when that final symbol goes, something weird happens with all that pent up mystical energy.
Worse is to come, as best friend Arumi tells him that her family will be moving, all the way to Hokkaido. Sasshi's family Turtle bathhouse has already been razed, and he's moved out of his old home to a new apartment. This is especially true for twelve year olds Arumi and Sasshi. All the businesses are closing down, families moving to new homes, and friendships being sundered. Except that good luck has now run out, and the dreaded urban redevelopment has enveloped the area. This ensured the harmony of the four gods, and was a sure indicator of good luck. It was built with Onmyou mysticism in mind, perfectly aligned so that the four gods, Dragon, Tiger, Pelican, and Turtle were at its four cardinal points. The shopping arcade in Abenobashi is a very special place, with history and import, centred on the Abeno Shrine at its heart. It was horrible, awful, so bad that I simply had to buy the DVD collection! Ever game, I gave a few episodes a try regardless. Someone had ripped the English version off the official DVDs and just put those episodes online. The only source I could find wasn't a fansub at all. With Abenobashi though, I came across the scummy side of fansubbers. I tend to think of it as trying before buying, although my conscience has been a lot clearer since the legal online streaming options have opened up. Unfortunately, until very recently, all the anime available to view was of the shady, fansubbed variety, which, while technically illegal, companies often turn a blind eye to as it gets their product noticed.
That's something I was loath to do before I discovered the beauty of a broadband connection. You need to know if you're onto a good thing before you invest.
MAGICAL SHOPPING ARCADE ABENOBASHI EPISODE SERIES
Of course living in a country where anime doesn't exist on television, it isn't an easy thing to blind buy a series and just dive right in. It's visually explosive, conceptually out there, and the sort of show you have to have an open mind for to get the most out of it. It's one of Studio GAINAX's more distinctive productions, the sort of shows they make when they aren't making Evangelion. Introduction Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi has long been on my anime menu.
