Satoru Akahori + Hiroyuki Yamaga + a variety of distinct episode & animation directors led to this odd show. Part Sliders, part Duck Amuck, Abenobashi’s primary draw is the fact that each episode is so varied in style and animation, each creative team allowed to flourish in their own ways. I’ll be writing more on it over Xmas, so watch out for that. For now I’ll just mention that this is the show that introduced Hiroyuki Imaishi to me (I’d have seen his work on FLCL, but episode 3 of Abenobashi is Imaishi run riot).
