C&C - Crayon Shin Chan [8/21] - [8/24]

[veemonjosh]

SHIN CHAN!!!

Discuss!

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Hilarious already.

"You mean you're going to start injecting heroin?"

[Classic Speedy]

Action B*stard tighties, LOL.

[The Myst]

Kid #1: So what do you get for allowance these days?
Kid #2: 50 bills a week with stock options.
Kid #1: Cool. So are they doctors, lawyers, or Jews?

Mom: What, you want an allowance? You'd just spend it on kiddie stuff like trading cards and video games and crystal meth.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

"Is it too late to abort?"

Wow, this show is hillarious.

Shin's failed attempts are awesome.

[sag_2002]

LOL @ Shin trying to act shocking and failing miserably.

"I guess I should be grateful that was strike 1 and not strike 2."

[KuwabaraTheMan]

"Wow, a kiss! That's like the best thing a girl can blow!"

[veemonjosh]

Shin thinks his friend is coming on to him. :lol:

[Space Cadet]

"I've never seen him on the gaydar before."

[sag_2002]

Oops, Shin got a little too close.

"I'm sorry. I blame my young, raging hormones."

[Animeforever'04]

"It's like Brokeback, only with ugly boys."
:lol: wow! i hope this gets a full run!

[Space Cadet]

Woah, the third short is much newer.

[veemonjosh]

He usually goes straight for her panties in the morning? O_o

[Classic Speedy]

"You better hurry up and get down here, mama's feeling crampy today!"

I also liked how they worked in Seinfeld's "Not that there's anything wrong with that!" before the commercials.

[veemonjosh]

First edit? Shin's front was censored.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

First edit? Shin's front was censored.

They bleeped pussy in Saturdays episode.

[The Myst]

Demon: Behold! MY FLAMIN' ASS CRACK OF DEATH!

[Dub]

"Action Bastard Tighties" and references to Crystal Meth :)

"I can so wipe my ass!"
"Your skid marks disagree."

"Is it too late to abort?"

Drug and sex parties VS Drunken Insect Parties! LOL

"Oh god, the hair thing! She did the hair thing!"

"Wow, a kiss! That's like the best thing a girl can blow!"

"Whats a private matter?"
"My dad says the same thing when he doesnt want mom to call the cops."

"HO-MO!"

LOL! I just noticed the "horse's ass fountain!"

"It's like Brokeback only with ugly boys."

"Thats not like him to go for my boxers. Usually he goes straight for your panties in the morning."

Genetalia pixels should not be that funny...

"Run like the little bastard you are!"

"Kiss my hiney, wet and shiny!"

"Oh, hot sh**!" LOL

This show officially deserves to survive. The dialogue is hilarious.

[veemonjosh]

They bleeped pussy in Saturdays episode.

I completely forgot that. :sweat:

Awesome episode.

Hey, if anyone from Adult Swim is reading this:


PLEASE PICK UP SHIN-CHAN!!!!!!

[PickHut]

Of all the things to bust out laughing at, I did it with "Your ass is mine!":sweat: . Very funny episode overall.

[Duke]

The first two segments were awesome, but the third segment didn't really get all that funny until Action Bastard arrived.

"Plot Contrivence! Ho!"

[Humble]

Awesome. Just awesome. :p

I really hope they pick this show up.

-Humble

[TnAdct1]

Hey, if anyone from Adult Swim is reading this:


PLEASE PICK UP SHIN-CHAN!!!!!! You're not alone, especially considering how I've enjoyed the subs of some early Crayon Shin-chan episodes that I watched a few years back.

"Ho-mo!"

[ChibiGoku]

Odd... Shin Chan's front shouldn't be an issue, considering the age of the character. Probably playing it safe, than risking it, which I perfectly understand. But still...I wonder how the elephant jokes will work...

Regardless, I am enjoying the english dub, even more than the original japanese version, which is usually rare. As one said, I really hope Adult Swim licenses the series to it's full. The only worry is if FUNimation will send the episodes to Adult Swim in the correct order. I know these were handpicked, but I just hope FUNimation decides to show them by airdate order. (which I know will be extremely hard to do so...)

[Master Moron]

So...Cartoon Network can show male genitals on Dragonball Z, but Adult Swim can't show them on Shin Chan?

[Levon]

So...Cartoon Network can show male genitals on Dragonball Z, but Adult Swim can't show them on Shin Chan?

Actually the Japanese version might have edited that, of course I could be wrong but they have before in comedy situations in anime. Maybe to make fun of the Japanese law or something.

[v1cious]

that "Flame Broiled b!tch" line made me chuckle.

[Game Freak 4]

I'm sorry. As an anime, the characters' art design is god awful. Super Milk-Chan is better looking than this.

Still, that Shin-Chan is one big dumbass.

[TheMecca]

As I've said.
BEST ANIME EVER.
10/5.
e to the detizzle: the art design is supossed to be like that. If you can look beyong that the show is hilarious.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Why'd they censor it in the third short, but not the second? I saw shin's penis clearly in the second short.

[Levon]

Again, AS or FUNi might not have anything to do with that. The Japanese might have done it for comedy.

[Beat]

I've noticed that when Adult Swim executives love a show, they will commit all their resources to making it somewhat of a hit. Therefore, I can wager that if Shin Chan scores over 300,000, it will be licensed.

[ChibiGoku]

Actually, Shin's penis was there in the original, as I recall. Heck, there's a quick shot where you can see it in the third short on the english dub (You won't notice it, more than likely.). However, I doubt this was done by FUNimation. It's more so likely Adult Swim did it, considering the crude way it was edited. If it was FUNimation, something tells me it would have been edited so Shin wouldn't even have it.

[Nel]

Well, I was trying to avoid this show like the plague, but I accidently turned it on towards the end last night and I loved it.

[Fresh V]

This episode was even better than Saturday's. I especially loved the third part. Lol, flamin' ass crack of death! This show is awesome. Adult Swim MUST pick this up!

"He usually goes after your panties first thing in the morning."
"Oh god, the hair thing! She did the hair thing!"
"It's like Brokeback. Only, with ugly boys."
Horse Ass Fountain!!!!!!
:p

[livingfruitvirus]

If it was FUNimation, something tells me it would have been edited so Shin wouldn't even have it.

It also wasn't edited on Saturday's episode, and it was on screen longer.

Jesus, it feels like Boy Bliss in here. Back on the content, I thought Monday's episode wasn't as good as Saturday's. Probably because the longer episodes felt more padded and visual heavy with little chance of re-write.

[Jin]

Laura Bailey and Chris Sabat totally OWN in this.

[JTurner954]

I didn't enjoy this episode as much as the first episode. The biggest laugh for me was "Don't forget to wipe your ass". Everything else ranged from "meh" to "heh". It still feels like they're trying too hard to be shocking and "adult".

6.5 out of 10

[Seamoonmommy]

I've never seen Shin Chan before, but have heard about it for years from a fan I know. I LMAO through the show - especially his pee strike. Hope it's a keeper, Adult Swim.

Sorry I missed Saturday's episode.

[Dr. OneWay]

LMAO, this show is hilarious. 10/10 on the first episode (three shorts). I hope this is a keeper!

[Dub]

Snip

[livingfruitvirus]

What. The. Hell?

The Del Rubio Triplets?! WH?!?!?! How did this episode suddenly become so VERY SCARY!?

"We feel NAKED without them?" <-- It was at this point that I nearly screamed FOR HEAVENS SAKE, DON'T LOSE YOUR GUITARS!

EDIT: Did he just snatch an orange off her breasts?!?! XD LOL
I think you're in the wrong thread, sir.

edit - Your post isn't going away THAT easily.

[Dub]

So I am....

[Zubby]

I watched once. It was funny for about 5 minutes, but by the time I turned it off, 10 minues later, it was just annoying.

I'll probably give it another chance, though.

[sag_2002]

Yikes, Shin's trying the allowance thing again.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Lol, Shin still doesn't get an allowance.

[The Myst]

I love Action Bastard.

[sag_2002]

"It's my fault! I asked for it by wearing a skirt!"

[Classic Speedy]

"I need a strong man like Bill O'Reilly to tell me what to do!"

[Jin]

I want some hot pork tickling my windpipe. :p

O'REILLY REFERENCE!!!

I sure hope the purists don't BLOVIATE about this dub. :p

OH SNAP! TRINITY-MOTHER****IN-BLOOD!

[Mr. Pedro]

But green peppers don't taste like crotch. :(

[sag_2002]

And, dancing butts as we break.

[Jin]

I love how Shin's mom keeps mentioning her boobs. And what's even better is that she's played by Cynthia Cranz (Chi-Chi). :D

[Demonic Raven]

"Sorry, I'd rather lick scrotum"

This show is too much. :D

I literally lost it at the "Honor and a Penis" song. That and the ass dance.

I freaking love this show.

[sag_2002]

Hima time!

This is not going to end well, methinks.

"The ketchup farted!" "Ah, crap!"

ENCH-MAN FTW!!!

Oop, and Ench-Man lands on Shin's house.

And, of course, the best dubbed theme EVER!

[KuwabaraTheMan]

"No Hima, those are videos Mommy and Daddy made, and we can't afford the therapy you'd need if you ever saw them."

Lol at running straight under the table.

Ench-Man Begins!

"The Plot Device Alarm!"

"Say my name, *****!" "Sibyl!"

[Dub]

Wow. This show has continuity. Cool. :)

"Money's tighter than Mitzi's tummy when I knocked her up and had Shin."

"Will you buy me a shotgun dad?"

"Honor and a PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNIS"

"Quit goin' down on men!"
Aww...heartwarming moment. :)

Action Bastard says "Put your mouth on a sausage!"

Enema Ray? Dr. Enema and his ENEMA RAY?

Action Bastards special attack - BASTARD BEAM!!!

Eggs Scraped = LMAO

"Oh please can you be my Bill O'Reilly, Grocery Store Lady?"

"Pretend you're daddy in bed and don't move"

"Yeah, thanks lady but I'd rather lick dog scrotum."

"Assdance, Aisle Five!"

"Blatant rip off of the Introduction to Spider Man" :D

"SAY MY NAME *****!!!" = LOL

Unfortunately I missed the remainder due to a family issue, so I cant really guage my thoughts, but I definately liked the stuff above :)


EDIT:


I think you're in the wrong thread, sir.

edit - Your post isn't going away THAT easily.
BAH!!! XD

[PickHut]

"****, kid, I don't want you to kill yourself."

I thought that was hilarious because you weren't expecting it. It just popped out of nowhere when they went to a different shot.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

My gosh that Spider-Man rip off was fantastic.

[McKlyde]

I

LOVE

THIS

SHOW

.

only caught the back end of todays episode... but damn, I'm hooked

[K-S-O]

Anyone know if this show will be played in reruns? I might miss a lot due to school and the fact that my VCR is broken.

[TnAdct1]

I love how Shin's mom keeps mentioning her boobs. Jokes concerning the lack of size when it comes to the boobs of Shin-chan's mother is actually part of the Japanese version as well. Hence, it's nice that Funi is keeping that running gag in the American version as well.

[Classic Speedy]

I was remarking this to Mecca and Josh in a chat while watching this, but I'll say it here too: This show rocks. It's an anime comedy that's actually... FUNNY. I can't tell you how many times I've been disappointed in the genre in the last one and a half years. Mostly chuckles at best, with actual laughs few and far between. By contrast, Crayon Shin-Chan's dub has consistent laughs, and not desperation chuckles but actual LOL moments. Seriously, the overly positive reaction I'm having with this show is like when I watched Excel Saga for the first time, and that's definitely a good thing.

I'll add to the train: Adult Swim, please pick up this show.

[livingfruitvirus]

Unfortunately I missed the remainder due to a family issue, so I cant really guage my thoughts, but I definately liked the stuff above :)

You basically missed more Spider-Man spoofing, and the credits.

[Hyper Shadow X]

A baby wabting to watch porn that;s nice.

[Duke]

Yet another awesome episode. And for the record, the allowance and Action Bastard segments of this episode were the episodes I was talking about in the other Shin-chan thread.

[carlaspirit]

Show her who wears the balls in this family!

[tucsoncoyote]

yeah Shin Can eat 10 of those Spicy Sausages.. Just like that guy who can eat 49 Hotdogs in 12 minutes! (Actually the world record is by the same guy and it's now 53 in 10 minutes!)

I hope Shin Chan isn't in the lobster tank again....

A** Dance on Aisle 5!:D :anime:

Yeah.. and Why does Shin Chan's Little sister want therapy so bad is it because she wants to watch Mom's home made Pron? or is it that she wants to create havoc just like her older brother?

If someone said this was a spiderman spoof, then somebody lied...

Long Slow Descent into secret Lair... Shift between red lines and Black areas for Dramatic Effect!

Flying Panda.. GO!


Over All Rating for this ep?

SCHIZOPHRENIA!!!

:coyote:

[Katsumara]

Haha, I just love this show. "To be a man you must have honor and a peeeenis~" XD I'm gonna remember that one. "Don't you want some sausage?" "No way man. I'd rather lick dog scrotum."

*Ninja Edit* Ench-Man's curse, ha. XD too funny. It was sort of a Spiderman spoof.

[Dub]

"Nono Hima! Those are videos mommy and daddy made and we can't afford the therapy you'd have to go through if you ever watched them!" <-- I missed that the first go round but dagnabbit if that didnt make me laugh my behind off somethin' fierce.

EDIT:

You know - something really nice about this show. I can imagine first glance viewers who don't know any better would become laothe to the character designs which are supposed to look this way, but I was talking with a group of friends earlier and we all agreed that if you actually pay attention, the animation on Shinchan is actually done very well. Don't pay attention to the character designs, but instead look at the animation (which is very fluid - case in point the Ench-Man transformation sequence at the end of this ep), the gestures (which, when in full movement, really area full of life, and don suffer from the usual stiff stock anime poses), and the facial expressions which can vary from nonexistant (Shin Chan) to all over the map (Shin's mother). For such crude designs they actually animate pretty well.

[jbanks97]

Shin Chan Depressed "Dad will you buy me a shot gun"-HA

This was my first time with the Shin-Channingans and I'm kind of mixed. The animation looked like hell (but then again I'm not one who cares how nice a show looks on AS). Alot of the jokes are funny but I dunno it feels almost like your watching an old movie that's been completely redubbed to the point that there's no connection between what's really happenning and what your hearing. It's certainly funnier than Milk Chan but I wonder how much is due to the show actually being funny or just the americanized staffs version of it.

Well if you look earlier in the thread, we know at least the jokes about Shin's mom getting a boob job are from the original.

[The Myst]

Also, for the episode, I'd give it a 4/5.

I have to agree with Speedy. Most comedy animes suck horribly. The only good one I can think of right now outside of this is Lupin and it's not even a pure comedy. Hell, some Lupin stuff doesn't have any comedy, like the Pycal OAV for instance. It was one of my favorites but little comedy to be found in it.

[tb4000]

This show's re-dub is basically a bunch of veteran anime VA's having fun doing some ad-lib and probably giggling like crazy in the booths the whole time.

[Shin_Co_Writer]

This show's re-dub is basically a bunch of veteran anime VA's having fun doing some ad-lib and probably giggling like crazy in the booths the whole time.
Hey, guys. I'm one of the co-writers of the English teleplays on Shin-Chan. We're all glad how (generally) positive the reaction has been to the show. So, thanks for watching! Anyway, I thought I'd take a moment to explain how the English-language scripting process actually works.

FUNi receives translated scripts of the original Japanese episode. These translations are very literal, and precious little of the actual Japanese dialog jokes (sight gags do fine, of course) translate into English/American. And by “precious little” I mean "none."

Anyway, FUNi head writer Jared Hedges (he did/does most of the scripting on YuYu, DBZ, FMA, etc.) brought together myself and four other writers with backgrounds in TV comedy.

Every week for ten weeks, we each went off with a couple vignette and essentially re-wrote them, taking care to loosely match the original Japanese story and themes, and the characters’ lip-flap, of course.

All during this, there was a consistent level of debate as to how ribald the dialog could be, and how many references to American pop culture we should allow. So some eps airing may have more dirty jokes, others less. It takes a while for a TV show to find its voice. That’s just how it goes.

After our vignettes were done, Jared and another writer would go and re-write stuff, before sending the whole thing out yet again to Evan Dorkin & Sara Dwyer of Space Ghost/comic book fame. The duo then added some more jokes, re-wrote dialog, etc.

Finally, their draft went back to FUNi, where the voice director Zach Bolton (also ADR director of the comedy anime Desert Punk, among others) worked with the voice actors in the studio to record the final product. This gave yet another chance for joke punch-up in the booth and adjustments for lines that didn't quite fit the flaps... and add more character to the show through the voice acting (Principal Ench's accent, for example, was an addition made after the scripts were written, and obviously added a lot more humor). By the time the script(s) got back to Zach, there would sometimes be 5 or 6 different alternate jokes for each line since we weren't sure what jokes would play well and pass through the various levels of approval. This left Zach with the daunting task of sifting through it all to find the jokes that worked best.

And that’s how many people it takes to write an abortion joke!

[jbanks97]

Interesting-Thanks for the informative post!

So far the results have been pretty succesful comedically. After the debacle that was Milk-Chan I don't think I ever want to see a straight translation of a Japanese comedy again.

(I've always been a fan of Dorkin/Dyer from way back in the Space Ghost days. They wrote some of the classic hilarious early episodes.)

[TheMecca]

Mister Co Writer, you and your writing cronies have created the funniest anime I've ever watched.
I tip my hat to you sir.

[Ultra8]

Wow, talk about a difficult and lengthy process. I salute your and your staff for the comedy gold you have brought forth, Shin_Co_Writer.

[Freedom Fighter]

- Up with Allow Ants, Down with Pants! Funny sign, funny sequence.
- "To be a man you must have honor, honor and a peeeeenis!" I'm sure that was a riot for Laura Bailey to say! :p
- "It's all my fault for wearing a skirt!" "Put your mouth on a sausage!" I want more Action Bastard!
- Oh, and I too object to the fact that green peppers taste like crotch. That's far from the truth!
- "No Hima, those are videos Mommy and Daddy made, and we can't afford the therapy you'd need if you ever saw them." LOL... that's so wrong it's funny!
- "If someone told you this was a blatant copy of the intro to 'Spider-Man'... they lied.' Ench-Man's first appearance!

This is the funniest show I've watched in years! 8.5 out of 10 for Episode 2.

[Fresh V]

Lol, this show rocks! It's the funniest anime I've ever seen. That's a long process, Shin_Co_Writer. You guys did an awesome job.

Lol at depressed Shin's "Will you buy me a shotgun, dad?"
"To be a man you must have honor! Honor and a peeeenis!!"
"Do you want to know who I am? Well of course you do, cuz otherwise you would've been downloading porno right now."
"Begin rediculously long descent into secret lair. Add red lines and black shadows for dramatic effect."
:p

[JTurner954]

Now this is more like it. I laughed out loud more with this episode than the previous episodes ( what a joy it was to see Ench Man again). The only things I didn't like were the sequence with the baby climbing the table and some of the "adult trying to be shockingly adult" dialogue. And I forgot to mention in my previous posts I enjoyed the ED song as well.

8 out of 10.

[Levon]

Also, for the episode, I'd give it a 4/5.

I have to agree with Speedy. Most comedy animes suck horribly. The only good one I can think of right now outside of this is Lupin and it's not even a pure comedy. Hell, some Lupin stuff doesn't have any comedy, like the Pycal OAV for instance. It was one of my favorites but little comedy to be found in it.

Have you seen these:

Hare+Guu
Azumanga Daioh
Kodocha
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu!
Genshiken
Urusei Yatsura
School Rumble
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan

Of course, most other comedy I can think of isn't pure comedy. Mostly anime thats a mix of romance/drama/action & comedy. Lupin is like an adventure action comedy, not pure 100% comedy(I'm a big Lupin fan BTW).

[JeffTMBG]

And that’s how many people it takes to write an abortion joke!
Thanks for this post. I always love hearing about the process for this kind of stuff. Thanks also for your hard work in making this show something worth watching. I'm sure the purists are all having a cow, but what you said about none of the Japanese jokes making sense is very true, and generally you either get a clumsy attempt to leave it be, or just a really poor english joke to use as an equivilant. Watching Shin-chan and actually laughing at the dialogue is great, and I hope that this show doesn't meet the same fate as the equally brilliant Lupin III dub's Adult Swim run.

[TnAdct1]

In case you missed in on Saturday, I believe the episode that aired on Saturday will air again tonight.

"LESBIANS!"

[sag_2002]

In case you missed in on Saturday, I believe the episode that aired on Saturday will air again tonight.

"LESBIANS!"

Yep, episode 3 tonight. My comments are in the appropriate thread.

[Funkatron]

"He saw my wife beat me!" makes more sense now :p

[LordTerminal]

Oh so THIS is the saturday episode I missed. Yeah looks to be just like what everyone said on the talkback for it: Hilarious.

This was simply because Ench-man stole the show. And as for censoring that one word.....well it kinda fits with Ench-man's line afterwards: "Oh yeah, the censors are gonna LOVE that one."

I'm hoping we see more of Ench-man in the future however. But the Tiger Lady's gotta go. (So far she hasn't done anything other than steal stuff and she's basically furry bait as of right now)

As for the rest of the episode, well it had it's moments but like I said, Ench-man stole the show.

[Ben]

In case you're interested in the original Japanese version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EccpRMTVng&NR) of the ending on AS, which appears to be addressed to someone named Jonah.

[Mr. Manager]

I'll try to catch it tonight. It seems fantastic from the reactions and promos. I loved all of the Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer episodes of Space Ghost, so it looks good. I slighty remember enjoying this when it was on KIKU.

[Jin]

"Yeah, I didn't even have to cut myself!"

Is that Scheiska's VA?

"Hey, your door's retarded, it doesn't open when I turn the knob."

"Are these desserts, or that silicon Mom's always talking about?"

THIS DUB ROCKS.

[Humble]

The Unbearable Sadness of Being was a riot from start to finish. :p

-Humble

[Jin]

(Shin eats the dessert).

"I can't wait to poop that."

LOL @ Chris Sabat the chauffeur just standing there puzzled.

[v1cious]

hide The Rage!

[Classic Speedy]

"I feel like getting knocked up myself. You get out of school for that, right?"
"But mom! The shakes!" "They'll go away after two weeks, dear!"

[Jin]

"Wanna play CSI? Last one there's the dead hooker!"

So who plays Hima? I think it's Monica Rial.

ACTION BASTARD!!!

[Jack Frenzy]

"Teach me to love again!"

"Last one to the basement is the dead hooker!"

"Kamehameha bastard!"

[v1cious]

"son Of A Red Delicious Btch!"

[Jin]

You KNOW that FUNi threw in that DBZ reference (the kid doing a Kamehameha).

Did Penny just mention Chuck Norris?

How can they be filming in 2002? I thought this show came out in the early '90s.

[sag_2002]

"OK, think Chuck Norris."

[Humble]

"We'll have so much fun, I won't have to smack the bunny today."

-Humble

[Chrono1995]

This line alone made the episode for me.

"He fell asleep in the middle of playing with me! Now I know why Mom gets mad at Dad!"

This dub kicks so much ass.

[Jin]

"Can you overdose on sugar?"

[sag_2002]

"We'll have so much fun, I won't have to smack the bunny today."

-Humble

Oops, here comes the bunny smashing.

"I've got your new move! It's a smorgasboard of mindless violence."

Happy crack time!

[v1cious]

"Get your hands off my happy cake"

[Jin]

Well, the Shin-chan test run has ended. Now we wait for the ratings to come in.

What the hell kind of ad was that? Told you AS sucks at promoting stuff, including themselves.

[.Automatisch]

PARI PARI JONA JONA!!!1111 Actually, I like the English version more :O.

[Humble]

I'll never look at a stuffed rabbit the same way again. :p

-Humble

[Demonic Raven]

Jerry Jewell as Happy Bunny turned Tortured and Miserable Bunny...FTW!

All of the segments tonight were really solid. Bunny abuse, Action Bastard, and even Bunny abuse WITH Action Bastard! It was just so perfect...

I freaking LOVE this series! If Adult Swim doesn't pick this up, there is no justice in the world. Period.

[Mr. Pedro]

Good Lord. This episode killed me from begining to end.

In a good way.

It's almost impossible to jot down my favorite lines from this show, since they just blitz you with so much gold. But I do feel that this one was the best of the bunch I've seen thus far.

[PickHut]

Another funny episode. The last segment was the best, though. The moment where Action Bastard thought he had accurate translations was great.

[Chrono1995]

I doubt AS will skip on the chance to pick this one up. Even my friends who only watch Sundays have caught on to this show and have been giving it nothing but the highest of props. It's just THAT funny.

[sag_2002]

Well, the Shin-chan test run has ended. Now we wait for the ratings to come in.

Actually, I believe this is only episode 4 of a 6 episode test run. There's still 2 more to go before the run gets repeated.

[livingfruitvirus]

Well, the Shin-chan test run has ended. Now we wait for the ratings to come in.

It's not over yet. It'll run on weekdays again next week with 2 more premieres, and then replays of episodes 1 and 2. Episodes 4, 5, and 6 will replay on the next three Saturdays, so every episode will get a replay.

[TnAdct1]

Jerry Jewell as Happy Bunny turned Tortured and Miserable Bunny...FTW! I had a feeling that the bunny was done by the same person who voices Jimmy Kudo.

As for the some other seiyuu voices:

1. Yes, that was indeed Gwendolyn Lau (Sciezka) as Penny's mother.

2. When it comes to the rest of the regular characters that have appeared so far:

Shin - Laura Bailey
Hiro - Chuck Huber
Mitzi - Cynthia Cranz
Hima - Colleen Clinkenbeard
Maso - Colleen Clinkenbeard
Georgie - Brina Palencia (Brina was definitely in "Yue" mode in tonight's episode :anime: )
Penny - Carrie Savage
Ai - Monica Rial
Mr. K - Christopher Sabat
Principal Ench - Jason Liebrecht
Miss Anderson - Caitlin Glass
Miss Katz - Clarine Harp
Miss Polly - Jamie Marchi
Action Bastard - Troy Baker
Lollipop - Kate Oxley

[Levon]

Another great episode. That snot kid:lol:

[TnAdct1]

How can they be filming in 2002? I thought this show came out in the early '90s. Crayon Shin-chan is like Doraemon and Case Closed: it's a long-running show that's been on for many years in Japan (with new episodes still airing on Japanese TV today).

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Jerry Jewel, oh how you tickle my funny bone.

[Dub]

WIDOW SALLY DOLL? LOL

But last night I heard you screaming NO over and over to daddy and then screaming YES YES

"Oh f***, I hate that child!"

LMAO! Your door's retarded, it doesn't open when I turn the knob!

Masa, today you're a eunuch!

Did she just pull that rabbit out of her....oh my... XD

LMAO! Oh gawd...the bunny keeps falling out of her crotch. WTF? XD

"My mom likes to throw them out to the homeless."

"Wanna play CSI: Crime Scene Investigators? Last one to the basements the dead hooker!"

"He fell asleep in the middle of playing with me! Now I know why Mom so gets mad at Dad!"

Is the baby feeling up on that kid? LOL

That song Action Bastard was saying - I KNOW it from somewhere. I think its from a rap song...

"Son of a red delicious *****" = LMAO

"Kamehameha bastard!"

"OK, think Chuck Norris..."

LOL! He used his snot as a yo-yo! XD

Mr. Elephant and his fast slapping trunk attack! :D

"I welcome death. I yearn for it. I dream of it every night."

ALL MEN ARE BASTARDS GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY HAPPY CAKE!!! - LMAO


This was *HILARIOUS*. Glad to see that through the test runs we'll get trickles of premieres. I really hope AS picks this up :)

[Duke]

Did she just pull that rabbit out of her....oh my... XD
I'm shocked FUNi didn't do anything with that great, great, set-up.

[livingfruitvirus]

I noticed Penny is played by Carrie Savage, who normally does dubs for New Generation Pictures. Did FUNimation fly her into Texas for these episodes?

[LordTerminal]

Gotta love Action Bastard. He's never gotten old so far.

"Action Bastard ALL MEN ARE BASTARDS! GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY HAPPY CAKE!"

"Mom if you need to take another trip to the bunny closet, I completely understand."

God is this show a riot.

[TnAdct1]

I noticed Penny is played by Carrie Savage, who normally does dubs for New Generation Pictures. Did FUNimation fly her into Texas for these episodes? Actually, there's a possibility that Carrie Savage may have moved to Texas and is now recording dubs for Funimation (as she has also done the narration for the Negima trailer).

[TheMecca]

Jerry Jewell kicked my ass last night.
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY HAPPY CAKE!!!

[Inkan1969]

Jimmy Kudo! I KNEW that voice sounded familiar! :D Gee, does this mean Rachel's now going to start punching Conan? ;)

Boy, Shin Chan sure has a knack for pissing people off.

Poor Penny's mother. She seems very desparate for affirmation. I'll give her some affirmation: She looks totally hot in tights. :evil:

[K-S-O]

I laugh at that kid who tries to act smart. (can't remember name) First he does the butt dance for Shin's sister, then tries to act like he doesn't watch Action Bastard around the other kids despite having knowledge on the show.

Feel sorry for the bunny punchers. They try to control themselves but they just can't.

Jimmy Kudo voices one of the bunnies? That's really awesome!

[Levon]

Actually, there's a possibility that Carrie Savage may have moved to Texas and is now recording dubs for Funimation (as she has also done the narration for the Negima trailer).

She still works with Bang Zoom & New Generation. She has done a few very small roles in FUNi's Samurai 7 & Fullmetal Alchemist but still worked with her other companies. Maybe she did move to Texas, shes doing a lot of voices & upcoming voices for FUNi lately. Although I believe I saw her named credited in Kamichu! which is a new release by New Generation.

I think FUNi is just really trying to expand with many different VA's. Its really making them a high quality dub company.

They even got Scott McNeil(Ocean Group) to voice Al & Ed's father in Fullmetal Alchemist. And Johnny Yong Bosch had a main character role in an episode of Fullmetal Alchemist where Carrie Savage also played a main character of that episode.

Scott McNeil is all the ways in Canada, either they went to him to record all the lines or maybe he went to Texas for a while. Maybe they are doing the same with Carrie Savage.

[IanC]

FMA had VAs from every main dub studio area in NA (thats Texas, New York, LA and Canada)

Funi love the cross region dubbing thing :) Carrie's character in this is apprently a semi regular one, so she must be commuting to do this.

[livingfruitvirus]

Wow. The overall consensus on this show sure has changed from what everyone was expecting back in this thread (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=170789).

[tucsoncoyote]

Only you can prevent... Stuffed Toy Bunny Abuse...

GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY HAPPY CAKE!

Last one to the basement is the dead hooker!

More Bunny abuse.. and it's addictive...(Poor Principal Ench.. having to suffer through watching Penny Abuse her bunny..

PENNY! MOMMY! PENNY! MOMMY! When will the shaking Stop? Oh in about 2 weeks...

Shin..:Gee I wonder when I will poop that out..
Shin: Can you overdose on sugar?

GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY HAPPY CAKE!

ACTION BASTARD--ALL MEN ARE BASTARDS GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY HAPPY CAKE!!!

and look.. Georgie (the Smart kid).. show us that Shin isn't the only one who can do the A** Dance!

All in all, a Rollicking good ep..

My Vote..

SCHIZOPHRENIA!

(Just please stop beating up on Jimmy Kudo... He's not a bunny!) Bunny Abuse can be stopped.. but you have to take your bunny to bed with you!

and yes.. Penny's mom is defintiely good looking in an aerobic outfit and tights.

Okay I'm done.. ENCH MAN 4EVER! SCHIZOPHRENIA!
(Isn't that like saying... Excelsior!????)

:coyote:

[veemonjosh]

FMA had VAs from evey main area in the US (thats Texas, New York, LA and Canada)


Canada is part of the United States now?!?

[Jin]

Leave it to FUNimation to reference their own show (the Kamehameha). ;)

[v1cious]

Canada is part of the United States now?!?

close enough

[IanC]

Canada is part of the United States now?!?
Aright NA then. Jeez :p

[mojokingbee1]

"Shouldn't you be making a joke about butts or something?"

I love this show.

[Jin]

Canada is part of the United States now?!?

Oh, hell no. :p

[BCVM22]

Scott McNeil is all the ways in Canada, either they went to him to record all the lines or maybe he went to Texas for a while.

I believe McNeil was in town for a convention; FUNi had him record his lines for Hohenheim then.

[Jin]

Dammit, it's the bunny episode again.

[Kury Wagner]

Gah, finally got to see an ep of this! It's fab, from what I got to see.

Not sure I should've watched it with my young niece, who doesn't watch much television at all, though. Eh, if I get a call from my sister saying that my niece is beating her stuffed bunnies up, I'm not taking the blame.

[Classic Speedy]

Dammit, it's the bunny episode again. Yeah it sucks that it's not a new one. On the other hand... I'm glad this show is standing up to repeat viewings. It's always a possibility that after the initial surprise of jokes wears off, the second viewing isn't nearly as good.

Not so with this show; I still laughed numerous times, even though I saw this episode before. And I even caught some dialog that went by me the first time. I think part of it has to do with the great comic performances of the cast; they deliver the lines so well that even the way they SAY the lines gets a laugh.

[Funkatron]

I need an Ench-man avatar, stat!

Love this show. Sooo messed up, its perfect!

[livingfruitvirus]

So I wonder if we'll be seeing any Action Bastard cosplayers now. Not exactly a hard costume to design.

[Duke]

I see that everyone noticed the DBZ reference, but nobody mentioned the Inspector Gadget reference.

[Katsumara]

I love the part with Georgie and Shin's sister. It's hillarious.

"Hey.. what are you doing here?" "You invited me remember?" "Huh.. doesn't sound like something I'd do.." Haha. Too funny.. Profiting from low income families... pricesless. Sounds like another commercial.

[Katsumara]

I see that everyone noticed the DBZ reference, but nobody mentioned the Inspector Gadget reference.


*Edit* Sorry for the double post. "Action Bastard Go-Go Groin kick!".. Haha. Yeah, thats funny.

[HG Revolution]

Just saw the Bunny episode on Saturday.

L...O...L...

Shin-chan is becoming my favorite show on Adult Swim. The conceptual humor from the Japanese side is amusing enough, but add it the extra dirty content and jokes about CSI and stuff in the dubbed version and its a total laugh riot! The fact these episodes are from the middle of the series and already have firmly established a working universe adds to the appeal. I'll watch this as much as I can if AS picks it up!

[Levon]

I watched that bunny episode 3 times:sweat: Its because when they showed it on the weekday I watched both its premiere & its repeat, then I watched it again on Saturday. Others episodes I watched twice. Clearly, I love the show.

[Brent Long]

She still works with Bang Zoom & New Generation. She has done a few very small roles in FUNi's Samurai 7 & Fullmetal Alchemist but still worked with her other companies. Maybe she did move to Texas, shes doing a lot of voices & upcoming voices for FUNi lately. Although I believe I saw her named credited in Kamichu! which is a new release by New Generation.

Well, even though an actor may be featured in a title recently released doesn't mean it was recently recorded. KamiChu! probably was as Geneon tends to record each volume seperately.

It's never been fully elaborated if Savage has moved or not, though she did indirectly confirm she did the Negima trailer narration on the AOD forums. There's no real way to currently tell if she has moved there or not.


I think FUNi is just really trying to expand with many different VA's. Its really making them a high quality dub company.

While I'm not saying featuring actors from different coasts isn't interesting or unwanted, but the concept itself doesn't instantly make a company a high quality dub company. If the actors fits the character however... (don't take that as an implication I didn't think a certain actor fit).


They even got Scott McNeil(Ocean Group) to voice Al & Ed's father in Fullmetal Alchemist. And Johnny Yong Bosch had a main character role in an episode of Fullmetal Alchemist where Carrie Savage also played a main character of that episode.

Zarah Little (http://www.crystalacids.com/database/person/2568/zarah-little/) was also in FMA, and Patrick Seitz (http://www.crystalacids.com/database/person/3899/patrick-seitz/) was credited for the 2nd episode of Shin chan though I think he only did walla (crowd noises).

In fact, Sean Schemmel lives in New York. Every time he has to record Goku he's flown down to Texas.

FUNimation isn't the only company to do this either. New Generation Pictures has been doing it as well. For instance, Samantha Inoue Harte (http://www.crystalacids.com/database/person/1827/samantha-inoue-harte/) was in Daphne in the Brilliant Blue.

Altho for Nurse Witch Komugi the Soultaker cast simply recorded there roles in Canda, and the new cast recorded there roles in Texas.

Indeed, though having the ADR director (Scott McClennan) fly up there to do it was pretty unusual. The only other example of such a thing I can recall was having Barry Watson (and maybe even more FUNimation staff) commute to Vancouver to supervise the dubbing of Dragon Ball Z.

On another note, schizophrenia is misspelled on the poll.

[tinlunlau]

You KNOW that FUNi threw in that DBZ reference (the kid doing a Kamehameha).

Did Penny just mention Chuck Norris?

How can they be filming in 2002? I thought this show came out in the early '90s.

The manga have thrown in DBZ references too.
in fact, Shinchan wore a Halloween mask of Freeza in one panel of the manga.
