Shin Chan, where have you been all my life?! 5 out of 5 stars.

One this is for sure, this show is not for little kids. I would personally say this show is for anyone who watches Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, and any other kind of show like that. I first watched it on Adult Swim, the late night Cartoon Network. This little guy is sooo funny. He is obsessed with his butt, poop, and his fav tv show Action Bastard. The things that come out of his mouth are so obscene but it is freakin hilarious. I totally recommend it for a good laugh.

It's a silly show. 3 out of 5 stars.

This show was done fairly well by Funimation. It's silly, even though rather crude at times. The only big drawback to the DVDs is that it is dubbed, only. So, if you paid more than $20 for this, you did get ripped off.

If this did have the Japanese audio track, I would have given this 5 stars, especially if the subtitles were done well. I thought Funimation had learned from its mistakes about not releasing Japanese audio versions of anime, but I was wrong. I'm going to have to wait until the next one drops to $19.99, too, since I will not pay full price for half of a DVD set. This isn't a kids' show, at least as far as Americans go, so there's no excuse for this being English only.

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.

shin chan season1 pt2 5 out of 5 stars.

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.
