DVD Reviews of Shin Chan: Season One, Part One
DVD Review: Shin Chan is great-something you should know.
Summary: 5 Stars
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 :)
DVD Review: Angry and disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
Please note that the one-star rating is for this DVD/product, NOT for the show itself. Shin-Chan deserves 5 stars, but this is a rather lackluster DVD release.
Other customers have complained about the lack of Japanese language (and I agree with them 100%), but my beef is the fact that there is no close-captioning or sub-titles! I LOVE this show and watched it whenever I could on Adult Swim. My hearing is not that good, and this show was presented with CC when it aired on Adult Swim. I laughed and laughed at the episodes and was excited when the DVDs came out. Yes, cultural references are Americanized, but this made it more accessible (and funny) to US audiences. Still, it would be nice to have had the original Japanese dialog with the subtitles to go along with it, with the option to have the English or Japanese dialog subtitled.
I popped it in to watch and to my dismay, there's no subtitle option, nor does it have a closed-captioning track. How am I supposed to watch this? My hearing is poor enough that I do need to have some kind of captioning whenever I watch television, and I was SO disappointed to find out that I would not be able to enjoy these DVDs like I enjoyed them on Adult Swim. I had been planning to buy the rest of the series - but now, forget it. I'm so sad and disappointed that I can't enjoy this show anymore as it's no longer on Adult Swim. :(
DVD Review: Skip it!
Summary: 2 Stars
Skip this item!!! If you are looking for the original Japanese version spend your money elsewhere. The production company changed any and all references to Japanese culture and language - which is one of the best parts of this series as it pokes fun at the anime genre. The original Japanese version is so much better. DVD Review: Shin Chan season one part one
Summary: 5 Stars
The Shin Chan series is by far the BEST adult cartoon series I have ever seen. I had to purchase the available DVDs because there is so much to see and hear in the cartoons, it is impossible to get everything the first watch. And, once you get all the jokes, they can STILL be watched over and over.
DVD Review: Good stuff but censored
Summary: 4 Stars
It takes a specialized sense of low-brow, cheap and trashy humor to really appreciate this '90s Japanese TV series in this new English dub. I find it very amusing and extremely up to date with comments that were only in the news a month or so ago. My only complaint is that this first DVD set in the series is censored. Luckily, the second set (Season 1, part 2) is NOT censored.
Description of Shin Chan: Season One, Part One
"While the humor is gross, potty-mouthed and generally exceedingly strange, it's also damn funny." --- Newsarama.comShin Chan.first time on DVD!
Laugh to hide your tears. He's rude. He's crass. He's unbelievably obnoxious and he likes showing his @$$. He's Shin, and he's the star of this train wreck. From superhero sell-outs, hotties and half-tards to bunny abuse and dirty old men, Shin chan gives unwholesome family fun a whole new spin. Silicone enhanced! Learn the fate of Whitey, poke fun at Mitzi's breasts or follow along on Ench-Man's quests - It's your choice! With 13 outrageous uncensored episodes the possibilities are endless! Wanna play a game of hide and drink? Falling off the wagon is always better with company! Shin chan: The show with very little adventure but plenty of action!?!
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
