Summary: Childhood friends Arumi and Sasshi are residents of the Abenobashi commercial district in Osaka, Japan. After an accident, they find themselves transported to an alternate sword and sorcery world. Their attempt to get back to reality finds them traversing a series of nonsensical worlds built on science fiction, war, fantasy, dating sim games and American movies. Each alternate Abenobashi is a surreal manifestation of Sasshi's otaku interests, populated by analogs of the protagonists relatives and acquaintances and a blue-haired stranger known as Eutus.
Their quest to return home is at core a bildungsroman because the Abenobashi dimensions are mostly hobby worlds of increasing sophistication.[citation needed] Sasshi does not want to go home, and in fact is the sole force propelling them between worlds. While chasing the cat in the first episode, Arumi's grandfather fell off the roof and was hospitalized. With this new trauma pressuring him in addition to his apprehension about the destruction of the shopping arcade and the Asahina's moving away, Sasshi was no longer willing or able to cope with reality, and unbeknownst to even himself, he had caused their dimension to rewrite itself into worlds echoing his escapist obsessions.

This is probably one of the most random animes I've ever watched. Like has been said just watch and enjoy it, by the end it will explain itself. It's pretty short, so if you have a long day of nothing and need a good laugh I highly recommend this series.

If you've seen and enjoyed Excel Saga.. or maaaybe Welcome to the NHK, you might like this. Don't expect to go into this one understanding relatively anything almost till very the end, it's chaotic and random, but it does have a conclusion that ties it all together and is (in my opinion) worth it. Honestly, no idea why erotica is listed on this anime? Do not expect any, at all, ecchi, sure, hentai, well, none. More or less a coming of age story, and while funny, gets pretty emotional.

this is an anime that you can sit back to and watch, however i strongly suggest you dont try to figure it out, just enjoy it, it explains itself as it goes along, slow at the start, but it picks itself up, dont know why its rated as adults only, its mostly an eechi, with only a few "nudish" scenes. its a VERY random series, mostly all comedy
