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

 Great show, poor disk July 2, 2008
I love Shin Chan and I love the episodes but when I buy a DVD, I expect certain things. Like being able to switch from a dub to a sub or vice versa. I didn't see that option! or perhaps a few commentaries or something like that instead of just ... TWO!!! Only two!!
I'm happy to support Shin Chan so CN doesn't pull the plug on it like Fox did to another show I loved for 2.5 years!
Also for 13 eps and with so little extras, I have to say the disk is also too expensive. Since it plays on CN it's almost a good idea to tape/burn it then it is to buy this dvd.
So to recap.
The show gets 5 ... no 10 stars. I love this show that much
the disk gets like 2 or maybe 1 star at most.
 Not what I expected June 26, 2008

I am a huge fan of anime and enjoy a wide variety. My first huge disappointment was the lack of an original language soundtrack w/ English subtitles. What's even worse is that all the jokes and cultural references have been Americanized. Why bother to watch an animated Japanese show when it just sounds like any number of equally lame American shows? And, yes, I do enjoy various animated American shows, too. The final blow was that I just didn't find the jokes to be particularly funny and no, it's not because they're too crude. I do enjoy South Park after all. :)
Amazing Show! Couldn't we have gotten the whole season though? June 19, 2008
So I love this show. I am going to buy this DVD and enjoy it completely. My only complaint is the price. Couldn't they have included all 26 episodes for the current price of this DVD? I'm paying $30-plus for 13 episodes. I feel that's a little too much.
 Shin Chan!! June 7, 2008

When I first saw this on Adult Swim, I was mystified by the number of recent American cultural references - I didn't know anything about the show, so wasn't aware that it had been practically rewritten for American audiences before being re-dubbed. I've seen several reviews that prefer it in the original Japanese, but I have to wonder if it shouldn't just be considered a different show all together. I personally love the American version - the voice acting, the characters, and the scripts are fantastic, it's hard to believe that you're not watching it in its original incarnation. It was a quick addiction for me, and I can't help but recommend it to everyone - if you can make it through your first episode, right through to the end credits, you'll likely be hooked, and you'll be humming the tune to Party Party for the rest of the day.
Shin Chan.. June 6, 2008
Such an underrated show in my opinion because at the moment this is my favorite show.. This is a 2 disk DVD with a total of 13 half hour shows..The was a good, decent amount of extras on it too, especially a full Japanese version of a show, just to show what a great job they did taking mediocre Japanese comedy to hilarious English translations. However this dvd is just part one of season one, so don't expect all episodes to be on there as i have anticipated.
