Shinchan

When the first time I watch this TV -series, I can't stop laughing. Even though it was already being censored, it's still extremely funny ( The comic/manga is more crazy and dirty). Too bad I can't see it anymore since I moved to New York. I really miss it, this is the funniest cartoon I ever see, more funny than Spongebob Squarepant.

Shin-Chan is about a kinder-gardener named Shin Nohara who has the mind of a high schooler. He's trouble-making, vulgar, and a real brat. Besides those characteristics, he lives with his family who find him to be a real pain in the shins whenever he's around. Everyday is something different for Shin when it comes to playing games with his friends, being flirted by a rich girl, or trying to collect the merchandise of his favorite action hero.

Despite the DVDs only containing the English version. Shin-Chan is one of those fewest anime that are watchable even if it contains English text edits and in-jokes on today's media. These were done so that way the show can survive the increasing anime industry in America. I'm not sure if it'll last long if it the English Dub was more true to the original version. I only seen one episode of Shin-Chan in Japanese which was still funny but less humorous than the English dub. One day we might get to see the Japanese version along with the English dub on DVD. For now the DVDs are the only way to see this anime.

Like the second Lupin III anime dub(which only had 79 out of 155 episodes), this anime has in the cheek humor. You'll be hearing jokes on various American movies, TV shows, and occasionally some recognizable anime titles. Along with Godzilla and Kamen Rider in-jokes that'll guarantee to tickle your funny bone.

If you're old enough to watch TV-MA material anime then it shouldn't be a problem for you to watch Shin-Chan. Cause there's a lot of swearing, and boy nudity in it.

So at first, I thought what a stupid cartoon. The anime is horrible, do they expect us to watch such an ugly cartoon. But all it took was one episode to make me feel so foolish. This cartoon is awesome, especially for a mature family to enjoy together. I don't watch it alone. I watch it with the entire family. It's a lot more fun that way. I fell in love with Misty's voice. She is amazing and all the characters are funny and play perfect roles. Yes, this cartoon isn't for everyone, but those that get it will adore it. Basically it's a very funny show that reveals the truth about being a parent. It's really good, give it a chance if one episode doesn't change your mind, then you're not missing out and probably are a child to not fully appreciate it's humor.

Lately there have been some people taking some huge jabs at this show, Shin-Chan (mainly known as Crayon Shin-Chan in Japan and internationally). From what I've seen on Adult Swim, it was actually quite refreshing.

The amateurish designs of the characters (hence the original Japanese title) are a part of what got me into it, since a lot more than what you usually see in anime, and the writing for it is air-tight, mostly because a couple of people who worked on "Space Ghost: Coast to Coast" were involved.

The scripts may not be as close to the original as most people would have wanted, but since it's a comedy series, and usually involves jokes involving culture, most of the script had to be altered to match the similar jabs at our culture so it can be funny.

Let's hope that Shin-Chan will eventually become a regular running series on the Adult Swim line-up soon, and that it will be there for the long run.

It was airing in Japan and on Kiku TV, a local TV network in Hawaii. It was on at 7pm and all the episodes are subtitle in english. First there was Bart Simpson, then there was Beavis and Butthead, and now the next mischief making youngster in TV history is Shinosuke from the longest running anime TV show Crayon Shinchan. Shinosuke is a only 5 years old and he's only in Kindergarten, he's even a perverted boy who likes to flirt at tall beautiful women. And his mother is only 27-years-old Shinosuke makes her go crazy. It was a great TV series, Kiku TV somehow recently stopped airing the show here in Hawaii.
