Editorial Review:
Description: This triflin' tyke is a train wreck in action, bu this sure ain't no kiddie cartoon! Although admittedly, it loooks like one….unadulterated and undiluted, Shin Chan gives comedy a whole new spin. From superhero sell-outs, hotties and half-tards to bunny abuse and dirty old men, this series has it all and more?!
Offensive to, yet totally adored by, billions worldwide, you definitely don't want to msis out on these 'Shin-anigans.' All attitude and a whole lotta @$$, Shin Chan will keep you saying 'Oh no, he didn't!'
Amazon.com: The raunchy comedy Shin-Chan (originally Crayon Shin-chan, 1992) is a translator's nightmare: the original dialogue relies heavily on puns, word plays, and topical references, which are virtually impossible to render in English. The American story crew tries to hit the main story points and create comparable humor. The result suggests a mean-spirited blend of South Park and The Family Guy. The Noharas, Mom, Dad, baby Hima, and five-year-old Shinnosuke, put the 'dis' in dysfunctional family. The parents bicker endlessly, Hima cries, and Shin never misses an opportunity to drop his pants and comment on his (or anyone else's) sexual anatomy and digestive problems. The jokes all seem to be pitched at a junior high locker room level, with endless references to pee, Number 2, boogers, 'Mr. Elephant,' etc. What's missing is any sense that the members of the Nohara family care about each other. Matt Groening said, 'The Simpsons is about a family whose members love each other but drive each other crazy, which everyone can identify with.' Shin Chan lacks that sense of underlying affection. In Episode #15, which revolves around Mom's arachnophobia, she comments, 'These spiders aren't animated and neither are we'--which sums up the program's visuals. The drawings look like elementary-school scribbles and the animation is so limited, hardly anything moves. But Shin Chan scored a bit hit in Japan, and for viewers who like their comedy low, gross, and cynical, it more than fills the bill. (Rated TV MA: cartoon violence, nudity, urination, profanity, alcohol use; gross humor involving sex, drugs, flatulence, and bodily functions) --Charles Solomon

Rating: - too funny for words
My son started me watching this. It is so funny. I can't wait until Season 2 is available on dvds.
Rating: - Incredibly brilliant, foul, and funny
I found shin chan entirely by accident one evening while being home sick and it changed my life. My illness went away! Ok so it was a cold, but nonetheless, Shin Chan changed my life with the magic of the elephant dance and the humor of Action Bastard!
Honor and a Penis! Never forget!
Rating: - Brilliant.
A Japanese kids cartoon dubbed in English for an adult crowd, "Shin Chan" from FUNimation features hilarious writing and wonderful voice acting. Special mention goes to Laura Bailey as Shin and Carrie Savage as Penny.
The episodes are cut up from the original into three, usually unconnected, pieces per episode. The plots of each piece appear to be loosely connected to the original, though surely some must vary wildly from the original.
For the price, the DVD is seriously lacking in extras, especially commentary tracks. In this instance this is particularly unfortunate as the cast and crew clearly have the rapport and wit to make the commentaries as good as the episodes they comment on. "Futurama" must be the Gold Standard for commentary tracks, and all DVD producers would profit from following Futurama's example.
Extras notwithstanding, Shin Chan is an outstanding program and worth enjoying.
Rating: - shin chan season1 pt2
One of the best shows from the Adult Swim line up! I wish they would make more!!!!
Rating: - Part 1 was great, Part 2 not bad
After purchasing the first part and loving it. I found out that part 2 was going to be released soon. When it came out I bought it. It is funny, and obscene like the first, but I don't think it is as good as the first. I still recommend for a good laugh. The Super Pooper episode is so funny. Season 2 is to come out soon I think and I will probably buy that one too, because this little guy is so funny. I love it.
