| Ya know, I actually enjoyed Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi. I wonder what the special will be about.... I'll have to remember to check up on this once in awhile. |

Free diving...pierce the seabed with your drill?
Actually, all I keep thinking of is Real Drive, Gainax style. |

I remember seeing this on TechTV/G4 years back and I enjoyed it. It had some really interesting moments, but I also remember a lot of people not really liking the ending, but it's about journey sometimes, man!
This is cool news. I really loved the main character's sister, mainly because she looked like Paul McCartney with blue hair. |

Maybe an adaptation from a manga also begins with letter G? |

It was a pretty cool show, the anime had more story, whlist the manga had more fanservice. I can't say I ever expected this series to ever back though. I think its been either five or six years since I watched this though. |

Hopefully, anime gods willing, this will be brought over.
I sort of have diverging opinions from the mainstream on some of Gainax's works. But they are a perfect fit for Abenobashi, it should be great. |

| The free diving thing could be an anime version of Glaucos. |

| Well, Abenobashi was a nice series but it feels totally random that they chose to continue that one. |

That is what I am thinking as well. Considering the series is seven years old and wasn't extremely popular, this surprizes me as well. If anything, I would think Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann would be getting a OVA. |

The thing is, in Abeno-world you can make pretty much everything. So I think that someone at GainaX got a really nice idea about another world Sashi could have created. And they decided that it's awesome enough to create an OVA.
Maybe will see something like "Abenobashi: Gainax shopping arcade", where all heroes from all GainaX anime will live together. |

That would be so insanely awesome!!!
Well, it looks like we're not going to get a continuation of Gurren Lagann out of this after all, but a new Abenobashi project is an awesome development, and the new diving story does sound interesting...but there probably won't be any of this:
"Pierce the Ocean Floor with your Drill!!!"  |

...It's not that odd that they chose Abenobashi, it makes for the most 'free' option to go with, in the sense of how things would actually work.
Still, I hope we'll see this come over here. It was a unique and fun series with a lot of interesting plot behind it. An unexpected gem of quirkiness IMHO. |

That would be pretty damn awesome. And I haven't even seen the original Abenobashi -- something I must look into.
@TT: I seem to remember somebody at Gainax describing Gurren Lagann as a ten year brand, so a TTGL OVA/sequel/prequel/movie (oh wait)/whatever project of some kind is almost inevitable, I'd say; if not next year or the year after, then certainly in 2012. Heck, from what I know about Abenobashi, this could be it. |

I wonder where they'd go with an Abenobashi sequel. Most of the shopping arcades around Abenobashi have already been torn down... 
(I feel a little guilty because I like going to the big commercial buildings erected in their place, but times change.) |
