Movie Reviews of Shin Chan: Season One, Part One
Movie Review: Number One Funny Show! Number 10 DVD Rendering!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Shin chan" is a hilarious, off-beat show that far surpasses anything done by South Park or anything else seen on Adult Swim or the Comedy Channel! It's rude, obnoxious, raucous, MOST inappropriate yet all without losing the basic innocence of a 5 year old boy. Can't beat that! Hurry up with Season 1, Part 2!!! If I have to I'll go on a pee strike!!! I like the magnificent blend of "American" humor with the Japanese backdrop. There are SO many Japanese references here that make me homesick for Japan!
The problems I have with the DVD itself are the lack of subtitles for the AS/FUNimation soundtrack and the absence of the original Japanese soundtrack with English translation. I know it's a totally different show, but I wouldn't mind having that! Heck, I wouldn't mind having a track with the original kid's version dubbed into English so my niece and nephews could watch it! I let them watch the first 5 minutes but my brother heard the dialogue and that was the end of that! My other problems is the censoring..."Shin chan" is rated TV-MA, same as "The Shield", one of the most violent, profanity-laden shows on cable; why is it being censored at all??? It's not like they're dropping the F-Bomb everywhere...and in a couple spots they censored Shin's "elephant" but not in others, WTF? Sometimes it seems like FUNimation was in a hurry to get this out to it's fans or wasn't sure who the audience was; IT'S RATED TV-MA!!! YOUR AUDIENCE IS ADULTS (more or less)!!! NO MORE CENSORING!!! The commentary was worthless. Very few people seem to understand the purpose of the commentary is to comment on the show, not on what you had for lunch or what your philosophy on life is. If you need an example of a great commentary, I refer you back to "the Shield".
So, other than the lack of subtitles, the worthless commentary, and the censorship, this is a fantastic DVD! I still give it 5 stars!
