Shin Chan

2006–2011 · 3 seasons

A gleefully crude, joke-a-minute cartoon where a rude five-year-old wrecks polite society and the adult gags fly over his head.

Overview: English language adult parody based on the Japanese series Shinchan (1992). Shin is a 5-year-old boy who is constantly doing and saying inappropriate things, much to the dismay and annoyance of those around him, with hilarious results. Shin along with his family including his little sister Hima and his dog Whitey, as well as his friends from kindergarten, ends up turning everyday situations into funny adventures. This entry is for the Funimation English dub which originally aired on CN's Adult Swim between 2006 and 2011.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and light. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Family, friendship, identity, media
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
