If the antics of Kenny, Cartman and the rest of the South Park boys have grown too stale for your tastes, there's plenty of appalling kid behavior on display in Shin Chan, Adult Swim's raucous redubbing of the popular Japanese anime series. The North American version follows the essence of the source material: Shin Chan is a five-year-old Japanese boy with a knack for making his parents, teachers and friends crazy with highly inappropriate statements and behavior (most notably a penchant for nudity and shaking his butt). But the scripts by anime vets Jared Hedges, Joel Bergin and Alex Muniz (with contributions by acclaimed comic book creators Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer on the first six episodes) spin the basic premise into surreal and decidedly adult areas (let's just say that bodily functions, aberrant sexuality, and a cornucopia of mental illnesses are the order of the day). Characters are also tweaked for shock effect--the school's principal, a fairly benevolent figure in the original anime, is now a bizarre half-Gypsy with a sordid past, while Tooru, Shin Chin's nervous nellie of a pal, is now Georgie, a five-year-old neo-con. The absurdity of the dubbing is peppered with frequent pop culture references, which can grow wearying after a while, but the sheer rudeness of the storylines generally overpowers any rough patches. The DVD feature 13 of the first season's 26 episodes, which are spread over two discs; extras include lively commentary on Episode 4 ("Get Your Hands Off My Happy Cake!") with line producer Laura Bailey, who also voices Shin Chan, along with director Zach Bolton and recording engineer Peter Hawksworth. Series fans will undoubtedly be delighted by "From the Bowels of the Booth," which offers a battery of exceptionally crude alternate line readings from various episodes, as well as an episode with its original Japanese language track (subtitles are included). Vocal talent auditions and trailers for Funinmation's other anime DVD releases, including Witchblade, One Piece and Full Metal Panic round out the supplemental features. -- Paul Gaita

 Brilliant. October 12, 2008
John S. Hull
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.
Shin Chan, where have you been all my life?! October 6, 2008

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.
 Another anime that should be forgotten October 2, 2008

This is by far the most pathetic anime I've seen thus far, and I've seen a lot of anime (over 90 separate TV series). The first thing that tipped me off was the horrendous artwork, as an artist myself I look for quality in the animes I watch and notice when it's lacking. Next is what passes as humor, this is really low-brow stuff, calling it potty humor would be a complement. My advice is when you see this turn and run..... fast, I will not recommend this to anyone for any reason.

As a Shin fan, I knew what I was getting. It's so hard to catch it on tv sometimes, but now we can enjoy this hilarious adult cartoon anytime.
Shin Chan is AMAZING!! September 23, 2008

I absolutely love Shin Chan! This is the best, bad, hilariously inappropriate television show out there! When I first saw advertisement for it I thought it just looked stupid, but when we finally caught it we instantly fell in love. It has to have the most memorable characters on t.v. I love it so much I am reviewing it encouraging other people to BUY THIS DVD and watch it on television!! And I have never written a review before now. WATCH SHIN CHAN!!
