As expected when trying to convert such a cultural-heavy comedy show. The dubbed show contains violence, insults, every-5-second swearing, characters' misery as laugh points, and just unbearable, incredibly shallow dirty and racial jokes. The FUNimation version takes a huge opposite turn and deviates away from such elements, and create a world of their own. The original show's humor primarily focuses on Shin-chan's lingual disabilities, a fetish on butt-dance, lewd and childish acts, and all his friends‘ and families' yelling at him. Not only that, but in certain episodes many lines direct to the audience in an attempt to break the fourth wall, however this trend only adds to the audience's confusion often times to the already confusing story in each hardcore edited episodic plot and setting. This dilemma is verified through the four or five commentary episodes, where all the voice actors come together to bash the show and explain why they did what they have done as they saw fit. There are of course the famous Apartment (Shin-chan blows up their house) arc, a Star Wars parody, and some related episodes that share the same settings (Happiness bunny's revenge, etc.) which FUNimation did an incredible job of dubbing them, however these still lacked the overall productive and practical sense of enjoyment the original had. In the American version of Shin-chan, many episodes that long-time original viewers are familiar with are turned upside down in such a way that each and every dialogue is different, thus resulting a different episodic story that tries to reach its audiences, but fails to leave an heavy impression like any of the originals do. I will try my best not to go off-topic in this review, but make it easy, cohesive, and be as critical and non-biased/objective as possible. With that summary said, it is clear now that those who have watched all the three-season 78~ episodes, will surely be shocked, interested, and surprised by what Adult Swim and FUNimation can do to totally turn an everyone-rated show into a purely adult-targeted grotesque and profane Newgrounds type of parody. It is just a blatant and unjustifiable excuse for the voice actors, actresses and script writers to have fun and mess around with everything but without totally screwing up the original intentions and quality, but instead adding on top of it a different, but more suited type of humor for their intended audiences (North America and other English-native cultural based countries). However, after watching through all of it, and saw that there isn't any review on MyAnimeList on this specific release, I felt like I could give a word of advice or two for those who haven't seen it but will.Įvery bit of the English dubbed version of Crayon Shin-chan reminds me of the When I first acknowledged that Shin-chan is finally going to be dubbed and licensed in NA, I was filled with thrill and excitement, having been a diehard Kureiyon Shin-chan fan since I was born, and could not wait to see it. ***THIS IS A REVIEW SOLELY FOR THE FUNIMATION ADULT SWIM CRAYON SHIN-CHAN*** Overall, I personally enjoy Crayon Shin-chan any day, and feel like it is something anyone can really get into when watching it alongside of the movies. But when watching the movies, it feels as if I'm watching Gintama, another random comedy which hints at the touching back story of the characters from time to time. The characters are not perfect or "cool", and they are very human.
SHIN CHAN ENGLISH DUB EPSIODES SERIES
The movies seems to fill in the lack of excitement and portrayal of touching feelings in the original series.ĭespite its weirdness and occasional fantasy aspect, I find this series very down to earth. Nevertheless, many of them also show a heartwarming connection within the Nohara family and often brings me to a gross sobbing.
The Shin-chan movies are focused on the fantasy adventure aspect of the series which is not very often encountered in the original series, creating that excitement out of the everyday life humor. The characters are all very unique, and all deeply plotted.Īlso, the movies are something to take note of.
Even without being able to relate to adult humor, Crayon Shin-chan is hilarious within itself. Either way, it can be a light show for pretty much any range.
However, there are still an aspect of childhood
It merely seems like a weird children's show at first glance, but it is actually an adult show with many adult-targeted humor. However, there is a strange charm to this series which drag the audience in. strange parts to this series that just makes this "Crayon Shin-Chan" ). And many people in the American community think it's stupid ( which isn't wrong, because there are rather. It slightly saddens me that Crayon Shin-Chan does not get very many reviews because this is my childhood ( although this series is quite inappropriate for young children in certain aspects.
