Title: | Abenobashi Mahou Shotengai |
Episode: | 11: Resolution!! |
Synopsis | |
In this parody of war movies, Sasshi finds himself at the "Abenobashi Battlefield Shopping Arcade", where a battle is raging between the Turtle Bath Army and the Pelican Army. Though nothing more than a lowly messenger, he nevertheless repeatedly distinguishes himself (completely by accident), leading to promotions and increasing responsibility. | |
Comments | |
One time military history geeks like myself may recognize Tiger tanks, Val dive bombers, Grumman Hellcats, Huey helicopters, plus Japanese, French, German and British uniforms. Though fairly amusing, I didn't notice any particularly convincing anti-war message. Surely the funniest moment must have been when a certain USO performer steps off a helicopter before an audience of soldiers (this character hasn't gotten enough use in the series!). |
