Eh...Abenobashi didn't impress me. The first few episodes were funny, but by the second half the comedy was just flat & boring. Not to mention it did almost nothing to actually further the plot. Overall, the main story behind the series (which I actually preferred to the comedy once it kicked in) is really only solidly addressed in...perhaps four episodes total? The rest are allocated to recycling the same "MuneMune has a big chest!" gag twice into oblivion (which...really gets dull, and loses its appeal big time spoiler[once you actually see her true self]). And the change is like night & day, almost as if the series has to literally stop one aspect in order to carry on with the next; the comedy and the main plot don't mesh nearly as well as they did in, say, FLCL.

I know it sounds bad to say a thirteen episode TV series needed to be shorter...but it did. Leaving less room for overdone gags and actually working the jokes into the story a little more might have saved it.

True, the switch to reality and history was a bit jarring. I still liked the series, as knowing what was really going on doesn't hurt the series.

I loved the ep2 , ep 10-13 Smile Ep 10 was best when they did parody of Terminator, Robocop (with nipplecar), Escape from New York, Indy and more Anime smile. But all other eps were boring and not worth watching. And as for FLCL I highly recommend ep 5(the John Woo parody). All other eps suffer same fate like "Magical Shopping arcade". Sad

Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu - I know it's been said before but it really, really needs to be licensed.
