In Edo during the mid-1800's, fireworks maker Seikichi Tamaya and his friends struggle to live under the harsh frugality laws imposed by the strict city magistrate, which ban all luxuries, including fireworks. One day, a strange girl named Sora stops by Seikichi's shop with an equally strange request: she wants Seikichi to build a firework that can reach the moon. It doesn't take long before Seikichi and the people of the poor row-house where Seikichi lives all find themselves trying to help her dream come true. However, not only do they have to hide the fireworks from local authorities, but there are rumors of mysterious "sky beasts" running rampant around Edo as the bodies of young women are found with their blood drained.Oh! Edo Rocket is an anime that was shown in Japan during 2007, with an English-dubbed version from Funimation released in late 2010. It is loosely (and we mean loosely) based on a stage play written for the Gekidan Shinkansen theater troupe by Kazuki Nakashima. It is by no means a period piece, even though the story gets very dramatic. It is positively loaded with self-aware humor and jokes (think Airplane! set in 1800's Japan).Can be seen on Youtube and Hulu.

Anachronism Stew: Irreverent jokes are made about American culture, otaku culture, and anime. Some people have black and white TVs and maybe even old computers in their homes, yet they haven't discovered the combustion engine.The first thing the audience sees the North Edo Commissioner doing is updating his web blog while acting like a giddy teenager. "Like, O M G!" A lampshade is hung on the ability of the audience to buy into it when Oriku shows up on a helicopter (explaining it as an attempt to save money by recycling cels from a previous anime) and Tetsuju orders her to apologize to the audience and to the original author!

There's No Place Like Home: Both Sora and the Blue Beast are both stranded on Earth due to an accident, and thus both want to go back to their homeworld. While Sora's experiences with the rowhouse residents make her realize that it wouldn't be so bad if she were to never leave Earth, the Blue Beast becomes absolutely obsessed with it.

Lampshade Hanging
 Oh! Edo Rocket / int_2a090d00
comment
Lampshade Hanging: In episode 4, Seikichi flat-out tells Sora that the visual pun she's making doesn't work in English. There are tons of these. At one point, the characters comment on how their lines do not sync with their lip movements! At another point, the characters grab cels from the production studio (when cels haven't been used in mainstream animation since 1996!) to comment on past events. Episode 21 is about a Play Within a Play which is a watered-down version of the plot. Due to the alien cover-up, Sora's face can't be shown on-stage, so Genzo appears as Sora's stand-in, while Sora recites her lines backstage... like a voice actor! With the main drama elements of the plot wrapped up in episode 20, Seikichi remarks (on more than on occasion) that it feels like the writers are just making stuff up in order to fill out the remaining 6 episodes. Episode 22:

Actor Allusion
 Oh! Edo Rocket / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: Near the end, Kazuki Nakashima’s Author Avatar is modelled after Kamina and is even voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi. This doesn't carry on in the dub, as the character is voiced by John Burgmeier instead of Kyle Hebert.note Hebert started working for Funimation, which is the studio that dubbed the series. Presumably, he was unavailable at the time. Genzo, also voiced by Konishi at one point wears Kamina’s iconic Triangle Shades.

Deus ex Machina: Downplayed: When Tetsujin is first introduced, the camera momentarily focuses on this little pink alien-like thing happily sticking out of Tetsujin's clothing. Nothing is made of it, and it is never brought up. Later on in the story, these same pink floating aliens start flying around Yuu, and enter her body. She starts to glow in a pink aura and the audience is given a vague idea that she seems to be filled with happiness and love, but again they are never explained. Later on, someone asks just what those things are, but they are told that it doesn't matter.

Sibling Team: Tenhou and Tenten are brother and sister, and started off as street performers, specializing in illusions and slight of hand. Once the new laws went into place banning "unnecessary and unproductive" business practices, they had to close up their act.

Mr. Vice Guy: O-Ise is only concerned with making money. She runs a rental store and provides most of the furnishings for the residents at the rowhouse. Part of the contract she has with them is that they have to pay up at the end of the year. The rowhouse residents purposefully avoid her on New Years Eve, knowing that if they can make it to midnight, she'll have to wait another entire year to collect on them. She's a businesswoman, through and through, but she's still an understanding and a not uncaring woman who helps out her friends. She's the one who largely finances Seikichi's operations throughout the whole series, especially from episode 21 onward.

Quirky Miniboss Squad
 Oh! Edo Rocket / int_889cff96
comment
Quirky Miniboss Squad: The Men In Black are all nicknamed after each of their own specialties. Eyes, Ears, Arms, Feet, Ankles, Knees, and Bellybutton. When doing a roll call, Feet, Ankles, and Knees often soon quarrel with each other over who gets to do what when setting up for their "Super Sentai" Stance, getting ignored in the process. They all have their own specialized (and very deadly) forms of combat specifically tailored to each of their skills and body parts though... Except for Bellybutton. He didn't pick that nickname.

Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Tetsujin introduces himself by babbling in a made up gibberish. Sora immediately starts speaking the same way and the two of them hold a conversation. When Seikichi asked what they were saying, Sora says she doesn't know. The two of them continue this gibbering dialogue with each other every now and then when Tetsujin shows up later on. Beyond that, Sora can be a bit spontaneous and goofy sometimes.

Drop the Washtub: In episode 21, the cast puts on a play of the plotline that happened thus far. Sanza is cast as one of Akai's "YOU'RE UNDER ARREST" men, but halfway across his charge across the stage, he becomes enamored with Tenho, who was playing Seikichi. When O-Ise notices he's breaking the script, a giant washtub comes falling down on top of him, leaving him imprinted into the washtub itself underneath.

comment
Lost in Translation: Frequently lampshaded that certain jokes just don't translate from Japanese to English. This extends to the show's title, as "O Edo" (大江戸, meaning "Big Edo") is an old nickname for Tokyo. This results in a Japanese pun in which the title can be read as "Big Edo Rocket". Rendering this in English as "Oh! Edo Rocket!" helps retain some of the Double Entendre.

Episode 21 is about a Play Within a Play which is a watered-down version of the plot. Due to the alien cover-up, Sora's face can't be shown on-stage, so Genzo appears as Sora's stand-in, while Sora recites her lines backstage... like a voice actor!

Anti-Villain: The Blue Beasts, specifically the ones that split off from the Blue Girl, start out by mercilessly killing people and drinking their blood, but they ultimately just want to leave Earth and go back to their home planet. They become obsessed with returning home, so much so that by the end of the series, it is almost hard not to feel sorry for them, even though they are wanted criminals to both the city of Edo and by Sora's own people.

He only gets worse from there. Lampshaded by Ginjiro, who calls him "Deputy Douchebag".
