Stupid m0nster, trying to copying my style. I'll kick his face for that :[. But it's good he's doing informative reviews now.. ^_^

Anyway.. Personally, I LOVE this show. It's probably one of the funniest things I've seen, it's second in my heart for comedy only to Drawn Together. :]

Review:
Shin-chan isn't about pretty colors or flashy fight scenes. Actually, it's pretty much a "gag anime" or w/e you wanna call it. The jokes that come out are kinda childish but the way Shin comes out with them and just the situations he gets into is, REALLY funny. For example the "Mr.Elephant dance" and "I had an accident with glue and I don't wanna talk about it." or "dad, will you buy me a shotgun?" And even "Yay! And I didn't even have to cut myself!". The animation is horrible, but it is pretty old as someone said prior to me. As far as story goes, there isn't much of a story as an entire thing. It's just "day to day" life I guess.

Truth be told, as long as you can get past the horrid looking animations and try to enjoy the dialog, I doubt anyone will really dislike Shin-chan. It is entertaining, trust me. ;] (show less)

It took me a few episodes to get past the initial shock of the more simplistic art. The original Japanese version of this show started in the late 90s, which is why it is drawn the way it is. During the timeframe that this show started, there wasn't a lot of new and innovative programs with which to do animation as there are now. So given the starting time, I believe this to be average in animation quality.

After a few of the English episodes, the show started to seep in. I found the show to be highly entertaining to those of us who enjoy shows like Family Guy or Simpsons as others have said. At times there's a subtle humor that some might not get right away. Watching it all more than once I would catch more bits and pieces that I didn't notice in the first run through.

I would suggest this show to anyone who enjoys shows like South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, or even The Simpsons. If these shows are not something you're into, you will miss the brilliant humor in this series and I would suggest skipping this all together.

My only complaint is that there hasn't been a third season. It makes me want to punch a bunny and eat happy cake to quiet the gloomies! (show less)
