Product 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!" .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.

Shin Chan is great-something you should know.
The Shin Chan series is this: (1) not as shocking as South Park, Not as goofy as Beavis and Butt-head, and has more potty language then the Simpsons. (2)Most of the dialogue is edgy and fresh. However, the a_ _ dance becomes tiresome by the end of season one, as well as the small b_ _b jokes. This is a series worth owning because it has a quality where the jokes sometime fly by so quickly it'll take several seconds to regester. Also, all the jokes are not gross or shoved in for shock value, there are some charming subtleties to Shin Chan...though you have to look hard for them. (3)it's about a dysfunctional family, but a subtle version. Not as annoying as Married with Children, or as Crazy as the Simpsons. (4) For some viewers it may be disturbing to see an animated five year old flashing his lower region, or the idea of poking fun at domestic abuse (Penny and her mother). However, if you can handle these two surprising elements, Shin Chan really is an original treasure for people who just want something a little different then the shows mentioned above.As for certain reviewers who are too nit-picky about how the show had been changed to suit American tastes. Please don't buy the show unless you have better things to do with your life then rip on a series mostly dedicated to butt jokes :) Otherwise, if you're the average American, enjoy the show :)

If he was my kid, I'd have to kill him
If you're a parent, you will feel for Shin's parents, because you know that if he was yours, he'd be dead. Crude, rude, and self centered as only a 5 year old can be, Shin makes Dennis the Menace look like a saint. If your sense of humor can be described as warped, you'll probably love it. I discovered it on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

If you've gotten this far...
I must admit as much of a dirty mind/potty mouth I have, it still doesnt seem to measure up to the cleverness of this show. If you survived part one, you must have the stomach for part 2 (which quite honestly is a bit toned down. just a LITTLE).but enough to make u shake your head lol.

Shin Chan rules all!!
This is one of the greatest shows that not enough people are watching. If you appreciate inappropriate humor, then this is the show for you. It will have you laughing until you cry, all the way through. BUY THIS DVD!! It's amazing!! I can't recommend it enough, just watching it will make your day!

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.

Uncensored at last!
For those of us with a sick sense of humor that is timely (refers to people and events in the news just recently) and funny and full of trash talk, this is it! This is the first set in the English dub new series of DVDs that is NOT censored. Thank you for that!

Truly uncensored
Unlike Season 1, Part 1 which claimed to be uncensored but had many words bleeped out, this disk has no bleeps.These episodes are truly funny as are the Alternate dialog clips in the extras.Thanks for listening to us Funimation. Now please reissue Part 1 without the censorship.

Overpriced for only HALF of the full season
Um, why are people charging $40+ for this 1 half of the first season when you can buy the FULL first season for only $30?? Very confusing. I'd buy this if it weren't so ridiculously overpriced, being that it's the only one I'm missing. Oh, and meanwhile, the other 3 (S1P1, S2P1, and S2P2) are $4 the least and $9 max.
