Hey everyone, just letting everyone know about the
upcoming Marathon meeting UMAnime is putting on of
Abenobashi Magical Shopping District this Saturday the
11th of January. Find us in room 521-A/B of the
University Center at 11:30 a.m.
Here's a little description of the series
-----------------
Sasshi is having a bad summer vacation. First, his old
house is demolished in the recent Abenobashi Shopping
district redevelopment plan [his precious baseball
cards and gashapon sets were lost in the destruction],
and his best friend, Ayumi, is moving away to
Hokkaido. Then Sasshi and Ayumi hear rumors of a
supposed affair between Ayumi's grandfather and
Sasshi's grandmother. While investigating, the duo
find that the Abenobashi district is constructed as a
cross with a different animal guarding each pole - a
turtle was at Sasshi's family's house, a dragon was at
the pet store, a tiger, and a bird at Ayumi's family
restaurant, the last one remaining. Unfortunately,
with Ayumi's family leaving, the last guardian will
fall and something terrible may happen to Abenobashi
as a result. As if things couldn't be worse, Ayumi's
grandfather falls off the roof of his French
restaurant, the Grill Pelican, and is seriously
injured. The totem for the Grill Pelican, a pelican
with a star on its belly, falls along with the
grandfater and is destroyed. That night, Sasshi
witnesses a dragon flying outside his bedroom window,
and at the temple, all the exercising old men turn
into mushrooms. Freaked out, Ayumi and Sasshi speed
for home only to find all the buildings mere facades
and a magical rainbow transports them to an Abenobashi
to be sure, but certainly not the one they came from.
The hijinks and parodies ensue as Sasshi and Ayumi
make their way from Abenobashi to Abenobashi trying to
find a way back to their Abenobashi.
-----------------
We'll be screening the entire series. I hear there
will also be a contest for prizes during the lunch
break!
See everyone there!
