I remember when Abenobashi came out, the show it was often compared to was Excel Saga. That truly is about the closest comparison one could draw, I suppose, though they are very different in some ways. There are shows that could offer some elements of Abenobashi for the OP - OER, as Sensei says, offered a skewed take on Japanese history. Shounen Onmyouji offers a look at the Abeno Seimei legend and Onmyou mystics in general. But Abenobashi is a pretty unique show when it comes to style and structure.
