Review: Abenobashi #3
Martin Butler has taken a look at the third volume of GAINAX’s parody-friendly comedy Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi #3, out now in the UK from ADV.
- “With a slight departure from the usual pattern of Arumi and Sasshi’s travels in the form of Eutus’ revelations, the third volume of Abenobashi takes a slight breather from the rapid-fire gags and adds a bit more to the explanations on why the events of the show are happening in the first place. While some viewers might find this momentary change of pace disappointing, it does add to the background story and begs the question of how this series will turn out.”
