What? No previous episode again? How could this be? Well, like the last series I reviewed I started before I picked up blogging again. But since I like this series a bit more than the last one, I’m more inclined to watch the previous episodes. This series is about a pair of gradeschool kids who have been dimension hopping after screwing up the balance in their home dimension. Lots of making fun of other genres. In this episode, they take a jab at the 1920’s gangster movie genre. In this universe, every corner of the shopping arcade is run by either a part of the mafia or the police. Sasshi gets confused for a legendary sniper, and manages to make this claim look reasonable by knowing a lot about guns. Ten year olds are weird these days. Meanwhile, Arumi gets caught up in the police force for some reason. More bizarre is the fact that while the rest of the world is in the 1920’s the police force is stuck in the 1960’s. I sincerely hope that was deliberate.
Anyhoo, a flashier sniper appears and convinces the mafia that Sasshi is a fake, and he gets shot. Apparently in this universe when you get shot, you turn into a comic relief character that nobody pays attention to. Really sucks.
Surprisingly, in this episode, they take some time to show that this series actually has a plot, shown by a scene with Mune Mune and that guy with blue hair. Also, they reveal that the reason the main characters can’t go home is that they actually aren’t mentally prepared to go home. This revelation actually makes me a bit more interested in this series than I was.
So although this series started a bit slow, it is picking up a bit.
Which is a good thing
Coming soon (probably)
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi Episode 7
