| Title: | Abenobashi Mahou Shotengai |
| Episode: | 12: Huge Reversal?! |
| Synopsis |
| Sasshi has decided that even he wants to go home, but hopes that his newly-learned powers as an Onmyou mystic will enable himself and Arumi to return to a slightly altered version of their neighborhood--in which grandpa Masa is alive and well. They arrive in what seems to be the original Abenobashi arcade--except that it is riddled with bits from movies and TV shows. They are, in fact, in the "Abenobashi Hollywood Shopping Arcade". |
| Comments |
| A funnier than usual episode, thanks to the fast and furious parodies of all sorts of well-known movies and TV shows. Sasshi and Arumi's very arrival takes place in the same manner as a "jump" from a certain Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. And who would have expected a tie-in to the Monty Python lumberjack sketch? (according to the vid-notes, one of the Abenobashi voice actors also did part of the Japanese Dub of the Monty Python's Flying Circus series). |
