This anime IMO, has to be the funniest I've ever seen. It sure didn't start out that way. I got the first episode from Newtype magazine, and it was flat out boring. But I was told that it was a lot like Excel Saga and FLCL so I bought the discs when they came out. Don't let the first episode fool you, this is some funny stuff. Especially episode 12. My hat goes off to Luci Christian, who played Sashi in the DUB. Considering she's a grown woman, she pulls off playing a 12 year old horny guy considerably well. While overall the DUB was very good, it makes more sense to watch it in Japanese, much like with Excel Saga. That way all the jokes and puns make sense. On a side note, for such an off-the-wall type of anime, there's an actual story-line. A very vague yet complex one, but a story-line non the less. Go out and see for yourself. Oh yeah, Mune-Mune is fan-service central!

I love this show as much as Furi Kuri. I love the wacky fun humor and the crazy characters and art style. I'm really glad that others have seen this gem and someone has created a thread about it.

Hmm, I finished this show recently. Apart from episode 1, which didn't make too much sense till I read the manga, and episode 7 which was boring, most of the episodes had me cracking up completely. I think my favourites were Pyuui in ep 3 and
Spoiler:
EDIT: Even if you hate FLCL and Excel Saga like I do, you might still like Abenobashi, so don't let the fact that it's by the same makers deter you.

The thing about this show is that it is all wrapped up in fandom and parody (which makes it hard to recommend to others). It scores a lot of points by being funny, but there's next to no story. I enjoyed it when I watched it (especially compared to any other post-Kare Kano series by GAINAX), but I am not sure I would care to watch it again.

... it was like episode #3 (if I remember correctly), when the goblin snatched away the girl's panties, and in the ensuing madness they end up in a giant robot. It cracked me up when they played the Evangelion Battle Theme in that scene
