In this particular story, Mario and Luigi own and run a grocery store. One evening, while Mario is playing a video game, the TV screen goes blank and a pretty girl in pink appears, being chased by various strange creatures. Moments later, she somehow jumps out of the screen and literally into Mario's arms. Her name is Princess Peach, and she knows of the legendary heroes, Mario and Luigi, and asks for help. But he doesn't really live up to that when Bowser shows up moments later and he's too cowardly to protect her - this results in Peach getting taken away, leaving only her brooch behind. Luigi thinks Mario is simply delusional from too many videos games and doesn't take him seriously, until he spots the gem and recognizes it as being incredibly rare and valuable. Soon after a dog-like creature enters their grocery store and snatches it from the daydreaming plumber, leading to an angry chase across the Mushroom Kingdom.
I must confess, this is one of the strangest anime I've ever seen. Seriously, it's not something you'd expect (or maybe you would if you knew Japanese culture well enough). There's a wizard who sends them off on their quest to rescue Princess Peach, Luigi getting hold of drug-like mushrooms that make you laugh, trouble making Goomba who lead them astray, and annoying (and frequent) walking to music sequences - among other things. And guess what? Koopa is actually an awkward fellow with a nerdy voice - it's true! I'd really only recommend this to big Super Mario Bros fans or anybody who lives for weird stuff like this. This movie is incredibly hard to find, and after seeing it, I think I know why.

It plagues her and plagues her, and with the help of the Detective Club and a handful of classmates, she may slowly gather the clues and find the owner of the item she hid away so long ago in her childhood.
Recently arrived in the mail, there are re released CDs of soundtracks from the anime Mahoujin Guru Guru. They contain pretty much all background music, the first and second ED themes, and the first ED theme. For some strange reason the first OP is not included. For those that find the show cute but don't want to invest $60+ to legally get the music, they're only 1200 yen each.
