ShinChan: Season 3, Part One

Thank you. All I need is part 2 and I'll have the whole collection 🙂

I read other reviews for this before buying, my wife and i are huge fans of the show, so when i saw that some people were saying that the show is just sex jokes and that it's playing into the kids knowing too much about it, i was a little worried about buying season 3. This is all i have to say, "Buy It". The show is great still. The sexual humor is not over done, and Laura Bailey is even better as shin. She is really making his voice and character sound more innocent and cuter, even in the more adult conversations. If your a fan of this show, buy it.

Item arrived shrink wrapped and in great condition. Pretty quick shipping too

NOT a show for kids. This is adult humor.Okay guys, I LOVE Shin-chan, I looooove the voice actors, and I, in general, love Funimation. So I got the new Shin DVD set and preordered the second one. I watched this set and nearly every line is about sex, at least with some characters. I thought all of the filthy jokes from the first 2 seasons were hilarious and so are most of the ones I've seen here. It's just nearly EVERY new character is acting like a hipster horndog and eventually it looses a small bit of it's charm. Season 3 doesn't have quite as much diversity as the first 2 seasons which gave us more adorable situational humor allowing the viewer time to dig into the characters and their little "twisted world" right before the hard jokes pop out and shock us. One big dark or dirty joke after the next without pause can make the viewer feel numb. It almost transforms the characters more and more into, well.. psychos trying their best to be hip (think Quentin Tarantino), instead of the oddball overwhelmed maniacs we all adore. Things do feel more balanced after you adjust a little, but never as balanced as seasons 1&2. It't all shock and no innocence and the (relative) innocence is what seperates it from its competition (ie. South Park and Family Guy). Honestly, most of what I find overdone were the new characters and all of the teachers. I do realize it's just a continuation or evolution of the brilliant work Funimation did with the first two seasons. For me, at least, it's a bit to far of an evolution. Still enjoyable and funny, they're just not quite the same characters you remember.What doesn't change much are many of the central cast: Shin, Hiro, Mitzi, Hima, Georgie, Boo, and Ai for example. So there's tons of fun to be had as always. The voice acting... amazing as ever.Summary: If you thought the first two seasons went way to far and were insultingly crazy, or even traumatizing, steer clear. If you can't get enough sharp no-holds-barred, break every rule comedy in your life then look no further. Dedicated fans of the show will consider this a no brainer. It gets half a star removed for not quite having the congruity I was expecting personally and another half star for lack of real bonus features like commentaries, so 8/10. I love love love Shin so I'll probably keep buying and watching and I hope my review was helpful.

My daughter and I love Shin Chan, we got addicted to it while it was playing on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. We thought they showed all the dubbed seasons, but we never saw these episodes, and we watched almost religiously. We're absolutely tickled to see new episodes. Re-watching the previous two seasons was still enjoyable, but this has been a treat seeing "new" episodes.

But for how long? I love the team that did this dub but the ending seems to suggest this may be the last season if we don't buy enough DVDs! Overall highly enjoyable, my only complaint was that some episodes were in 4:3 aspect ratio, but not a big deal. If you've enjoyed the previous seasons you'll love this too.

I will give Funimation/Amazon any amount of money for this series to continue! I thought I was at a lost when this stopped airing and no more dvds were being produced, but fate told me to randomly Google search Shin Chan 4 days ago. I Found this. I love this dvd! That's it.

I am a hardcore Shin Chan fan. This review isn't easy to write because I incredibly loved the last two seasons!This first part for the third season is more "modern" than anything from the last two seasons. This third season is apparently taking place two years after the last season which makes sense because that's about the time between the dubbing of the second season and this one. Within those two years, it's like a jumbled mess. Basically, things like Georgie's family losing their money and Shin and Paris had dated. You're expected to just go with whatever the show tells you when they bring up all this new information with very little background story, especially with the story aout Georgie's family and the loss of their assets.Now, when I said this season is more "modern", I meant that there are a LOT of modern references in it. To me, those references really kill the show. It's almost as if this season is relying on connecting to the fans more? I don't watch the show to connect to it; that's basically the exact opposite of why I watch it.Another aspect that really hurts this season would be the lack of good material for the episodes. Honestly, no Shin Chan fan can deny that this season is far more offensive and shocking than the last two seasons. For example, there's an episode where Shin is supporting Hitler, etc. That episode is actually one of the better ones from the first part of the third season, I found that most of the episodes from the last two seasons were hilarious, and I only dislked a few. Now, into the thrd season, it's the other way around. Most of the episodes aren't as entertaining as before and there are only a select few that I enjoy. I feel as though the material is a bit too "cheesy" and expected. Everything in Shin Chan should be unexpected and take you aback whether it's due to the crude language, character personalities, etc. On an ending note, there isn't much of Ai to be seen in this season, yet. I love Ai, and it's a bit saddening to not see her appear regularly like she did in the last two seasons.Some of the good aspects of the show would be the increased volume of offensive language, etc. That's something that really makes Shin Chan different from other anime. Also, the graphics seem to have improved, as well. Better graphics is necessary when an anime has mediocre drawing such as Shin Chan's. There are also new characters, too. The "Flamer" and Bitzi are nice additions to the show. Each have different personalities and a bit of the episodes focus on building their character.I really, really wish I could have wrote a better review for this, but Funimation definitely went too overboard on things that should be kept to a minimum.Well, this is the last season that Funmation will be dubbing, and honestly, I feel like I was ripped-off. I'm glad I didn't pay much for this, because if I were not a hardcore fan, I wouldn't have wasted my time and money.I'll still purchase the second part of the third season only because I'm a hardcore fan. I'm not really holding out any hope for it, though. For the last season that Funimation dubbed, they should have made it 100x better than the last two seasons, yet it's glorious flame managed to die out within a short period of time.
