Arumi Asahina and Satoshi "Sasshi" Imamiya 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.Available to watch on Hulu. | |

Genre Savvy | |
| Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: A large part of each episode is Sasshi and Arumi trying to figure out "what kind" of world they're in and what the rules are. This starts from the very first episode, where Sasshi immediately takes to the Dragon Quest-esque RPG world that they inhabit, and remarks that spending 600 of their initial 800 gold pieces in an initial shopping spree is ideal, since the strategy guide recommends saving 200 GP for inns and the like. Another example occurs in a sci-fi world: when Sasshi discovers that their sci-fi world has all of the elements of a Super Robot show, it just becomes a matter of locating the Humongous Mecha that is awaiting the two destined pilots. That said, Sasshi understanding how each world "works" is probably a side effect of each world being retrieved from his subconscious. | |

Marshmallow Hell: Mune-Mune to Sasshi. Oh so very much, but turned into Squick when Sasshi knows and confronts the truth that Mune-Mune is Sasshi's Grandma. An even worse example happens in the manga when Mune-Mune transforms into a boob monster with an entire body of breasts and tries to murder him this way. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Takeshi Aono, who voiced Grandpa Masa, also did Michael Palin's roles in the Japanese dub of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Something to keep in mind in Episode 12, when Grandpa goes "lumberjack"! Among the various film parodies there was also Back to the Future: Aono voiced Doc Brown in the Japanese dub and in the show Grandpa briefly took Doc's role. He also later in the same episode holds a device similar to the one that Alien Zarab (also a character he voiced) had. Yui Horie plays Emiryun in the dating-sim episode, and that character takes on traits of other Horie roles such as Ayu Tsukimiya and Multi. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: The message is clearly a set of stock aesops like Be Yourself, Live in the real world, accept reality as it is, You can't fight fate, Let the dead rest, and most specifically, You can't use magic to solve all your problems. If it wasn't clear enough, Sasshi's father even lampshades this, telling him that he should just drop the whole Onmyo business and grow out of it. All that is suddenly rendered null and void in the last few minutes of the final episode when Sasshi regains his memories of his past life and completely reforms the world, not only saving Grandpa Masa, but also bringing Abe and Mune back. At that point, the whole thing starts feeling like a Take That! of stock aesops more than anything else. | |

Not only is it right there in her name, boob humor is practically the entire point of her character until The Reveal, when she turns out to be both the alternate-reality counterparts of Sasshi's grandmother and an integral part of the events in the backstory which set the whole plot in motion in the Heian Period. | |

Butt-Monkey: Sasshi throughout most of the series. Anytime Sasshi and Arumi end up crashing or falling somewhere, Arumi lands on her feet while Sasshi crashes into the ground. In Episode 11 in particular, He becomes an Iron Butt-Monkey as he is a lowly private of the army and is constantly ordered to do everything for everyone. He even lampshades this by asking if he's even any use at all because the messages he's suppose to be delivering to his superiors become known to them before he can even report it. In the Dating Sim episode however, Arumi is the Butt-Monkey, which is quite satisfying. She also gets a rough time in the fairy tales and Hollywood episodes. | |

Glamorous Wartime Singer: Hilariously subverted in the War episode when Ms. Aki shows up for a USO show. After getting a good look at her face, all the troops fall to the ground in a near-death state. After pulling a Marilyn Maneuver but before she can finish her introduction, she's quickly grabbed by Gas Mask Mooks, shoved into a body bag, and stuffed into a nuclear waste containment barrel, which is then filled with cement, bolted shut, lowered into a larger air-tight container, sealed in cement, tested for radiation levels, boxed up into a cargo crate, put onto the helicopter she arrived in on, and immediately flown out. | |

Artistic License – Paleontology: Actually lampshaded by Sashi in the Prehistoric Shopping Arcade episode, with him going into good detail to point out how many of the dinosaurs they have encountered didn't exist for millions of years between each other and never would have encountered each other over the time span between the early Cretaceous and late Triassic periods. Sasshi, being a preadolescent boy, is an expert on dinosaurs, of course. | |

Magical Girlfriend: Subverted. If you want to count Arumi for this role, she has no magical powers at all. In the Dating Sim episode, She's actually that world's magical goblin and everything she tried to inflict on Sasshi backfires on her. The same episode plays it straight with characters from the world itself. | |

In Episode 11 in particular, He becomes an Iron Butt-Monkey as he is a lowly private of the army and is constantly ordered to do everything for everyone. He even lampshades this by asking if he's even any use at all because the messages he's suppose to be delivering to his superiors become known to them before he can even report it. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Hilariously subverted in the war episode. Sasshi's sister comments that when situations become this dire, that there's only one thing left to do. She then asks that he never forgets her, and says goodbye to him but then immediately spins the motorcycle around, forcing Sasshi's sidecar to break off and continue rushing right into the tanks ahead of him. He calls her out for it. | |

Meaningful Name: "Mune" is Japanese for "chest." Sounds like a nickname at first, but no, that's her actual given name. She also adopts the pseudonym "Muneyama Muneko" (literally "Chestmountain Chestchild") in the last episode. | |

Deconstructive Parody: A gigantic middle finger towards geekdom. Well, at least that's what it looks like for the first half. After that, it gets... weird. At the halfway point, the series turns around and deconstructs itself. Or to be more accurate, the second half is a Genre Deconstruction of the Trapped in Another World premise that it was following in the first half. | |

Episode 5: Not long after arriving in the Dino world, Sasshi finds himself falling into the mouth of a Man-Eating Plant, who spits him out minus his clothes (which also got spat out). After a moment of confusion, Sasshi realizes that he's in nothing but his birthday suit in plain view of Asumi (who doesn't bat an eye). He grabs his clothes and runs off into the bushes to get dressed. He then walks out wearing only his hat and shoes, clothes neatly folded on top of his hat, and his crotch covered with a small elephant head. At that point, Asumi sends him flying with her Paper Fan of Doom for his Skewed Priorities. To add insult to injury, he shudders when Asumi says the word small and she seems to not get the euphemism.

Magical Girl: Subverted. In one world, Sasshi tries to give Arumi everything she'd ever want in order to be happy from a 12 year old boy's perspective of what constitutes "girly" things. His own screw-up antics eventually result in Arumi being forced to transform into a Magical Girl (complete with the poses being controlled by one of Sasshi's little oni servants). She was less than enthusiastic about it. | |

In order to keep Arumi from moving away, he remade the world, as he had been throughout the series, except this time, it stayed remade, with the help of Sasshi's future self that has grown into his powers. As a bonus Mune-Mune and Masa lived, and The Grill Pelican stays open. | |

Art Shift: Between a more realistic style for the mundane world and a more flat, colorful style for the alternate dimensions. One of the manga chapters has the duo fight against American comic book doppelgangers of themselves. The prehistoric episode has Arumi and Sasshi being surrounded by angry cavemen drawn in a very serious style with heavy shadows, realistic features and so on. When their queen shows up they get turned into cartoonish caricatures (specifically in the style of First Human Giatrus) and stay that way for the rest of the episode. The end of that episode has it as well, with the preview for the next one (the Film Noir episode) briefly featuring the two kids with heavily Westernized features and heavy shadows covering half of their bodies. | |

Naked People Are Funny | |
| Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi / int_a58e5ad7 | comment |
Naked People Are Funny: Where to begin? Whenever Sasshi's sister's and Mune-Mune's skimpy outfits aren't played for fan service. Usually when Ms. Aki is also wearing such an outfit alongside them. Episode 3: After Arumi has her panties stolen while peeing in the bushes, she spends almost the rest of the episode naked from the waist down, to her immense embarrassment. Sasshi, for once, doesn't pay attention to the fact, being more interested in the Sci-fi elements. Poor Asumi gets repeated views of her naked butt as her dress keeps rising up and even stripped naked entirely during the Fighter-Launching Sequence as she and Sasshi are changed into their uniforms as they slide into the cockpits of their mecha. Even with the costume change, Arumi is still missing her panties as she tries to cover her bare end. Episode 5: Not long after arriving in the Dino world, Sasshi finds himself falling into the mouth of a Man-Eating Plant, who spits him out minus his clothes (which also got spat out). After a moment of confusion, Sasshi realizes that he's in nothing but his birthday suit in plain view of Asumi (who doesn't bat an eye). He grabs his clothes and runs off into the bushes to get dressed. He then walks out wearing only his hat and shoes, clothes neatly folded on top of his hat, and his crotch covered with a small elephant head. At that point, Asumi sends him flying with her Paper Fan of Doom for his Skewed Priorities. To add insult to injury, he shudders when Asumi says the word small and she seems to not get the euphemism. Until this line: Episode 12: In a reference to Arnie's arrival in The Terminator, Sasshi and Arumi land in Hollywood world naked. Asumi just curls up in embarrassment while Sasshi bares all and approaches a trio of thugs wearing the duo's clothes. After an off screen bout, Sasshi and Asumi have their clothes back and the thugs are left in an unconscious pile while naked. | |

Sasshi manages to hit the can with a pistol by complete accident, while Arumi's father empties an entire M16 clip and hits everything but the can. Then he walks right up to the can and blows it up with a bundle of TNT. Arumi's father is declared the winner. | |

Sasshi's sister gives a speech about how sometimes you have to make a Heroic Sacrifice, and wishes for Sasshi to never forget her. She then spins the bike around so hard that Sasshi's sidecar breaks off and keeps going towards the tanks while she books it out of there. Sasshi calls her out on it. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Many, though it'd be appropriate to say thee parodies involve more than simply other works. The most obvious being to Neon Genesis Evangelion — music from the series is used for a mecha combat scene, and Sasshi's sister is a Rei Ayanami Expy. Throughout the Battlefield episode, Sasshi's facial features resembles Shinji. Episode 2 is a shout-out to JRPGs in general, but Dragon Quest in particular. Slimes, dead characters being represented by coffins, and needing to go back to town and pay to have them revived are just the tip of the iceberg. Episode 3 follows Science Fiction in general, including shoutouts to 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars and numerous Giant Mecha series. Episode 4 includes a Panda who puts Sasshi through a training montage, Sasshi getting extremely muscular with constellation-shaped scars on his chest, Sasshi going Super Saiyan, arcade fighting games, and Bruce Lee in general. Episode 6 is a general shout-out to Film Noir style Hard-boiled Detective and Mobster movies. It also references comedic Western cartoons throughout with stuff like bundles of dynamite by ACME, tropes like Circling Birdies and so on. Episode 11 is a shout-out to war movies in general, including All Quiet on the Western Front, Patton, and others. Episode 12 has dozens of references to American horror, science-fiction, and adventure movies, including, but certainly not limited to: Terminator, North By Northwest, The Shining, Speed Racer, Knight Rider, Twister, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, RoboCop, Die Hard, The Exorcist, Barbarella, Titanic (1997), A Nightmare on Elm Street, Escape from New York, Friday the 13th, Air Force One, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. There's also a brief scene where Grandpa Masa says he always wanted to be a lumberjack... In the same episode, there's also references to war wounds. There's one for the American short cartoon The First Bad Man during the dinosaur episode, where Mune Mune's dinosaur is slowly chipped away and reduced in size from a dinosaur to a small lizard every time they duck behind a rock. Also in dino world: Sasshi briefly turns into an old man with white hair, white beard, and a cane after impressing Arumi with his knowledge of dinosaurs. No, it isn't Colonel Sanders. In the Fairy Tale episode, Sasshi creates a mini, teddy-bear-headed creature with little angel wings, entrusted to be guardian of a certain magical girl. At first he looks yellow. Cardcaptor Sakura, anybody? Also "the legendary sniper Regolgo." Arumi apparently spends episode 9 and the start of episode 10 hanging out at the school from Drifting Classroom. There are several references to Yatterman. The Grill Pelican's statue in episode 3 looks like the Yatter Pelican. Sasshi wears his onmyodo outfit by throwing it and turning it inside-out like the Yattermen did with their uniforms. In another episode Arumi controls a Kill Sat by pushing a button that looks like the self-destruct button installed on the Doronbo Gang's mechas, and the resulting explosion is a skull-shaped mushroom cloud like the ones that happened Once an Episode in that series. | |

Toilet Humor: At the start of episode 3, Sasshi and Arumi both need to pee badly. Sasshi elects to just whizz off into space, while Arumi goes off to find a bush. Unfortunately for her, the goblin decides now is a good time to show up, and startles her into fainting, where she falls into her puddle and gets it all over herself. The goblin also decides to swipe her underwear during this ordeal, forcing Arumi to go pantyless for the rest of the episode. | |

Reset Button: At the end, the button is pushed when Sasshi is revealed to be the reincarnation of a very powerful shinto priest. The priest resets everything to the start of the series. Only this time, Masa manages to get the cat off the pelican statue and is prevented from falling to his death. As such this doesn't activate the spell that starts the whole world hopping and apparently Sasshi and Arumi have no recollection of what happened. What's more, it's revealed the hotel deal with Arumi's family falls through, which keeps her from having to move away. And we see that Abe and Mune-Mune have been reincarnated in the present times and arrive to scout the Abenobashi for a land development. | |

Going Commando: Arumi spends the entire mecha episode without underwear, which was stolen by the goblin while she was relieving herself behind a bush. She's then subjected to just about every suggestive trope found in Humongous Mecha anime, including piloting a giant robot in a skimpy minidress after a Transformation Sequence that inserted Sasshi into the cockpit directly between her legs. She's constantly mortified but Sasshi, being twelve, is so preoccupied by all of the cool robot stuff going on he doesn't even notice. | |

Episode 3: After Arumi has her panties stolen while peeing in the bushes, she spends almost the rest of the episode naked from the waist down, to her immense embarrassment. Sasshi, for once, doesn't pay attention to the fact, being more interested in the Sci-fi elements. Poor Asumi gets repeated views of her naked butt as her dress keeps rising up and even stripped naked entirely during the Fighter-Launching Sequence as she and Sasshi are changed into their uniforms as they slide into the cockpits of their mecha. Even with the costume change, Arumi is still missing her panties as she tries to cover her bare end. | |
