“Song is more powerful than violence” - Hiroshi Nohara

Shin-chan being a typical 5-year old kid who wants attention from his parents because they are prioritizing Himawari more than him. Elder children can relate. 

CRAYON SHIN-CHAN MOVIES: Less Mischief, More Life Lessons (and Adventures!)

I've been wanting to create this post and since it's a weekend and I don't really have work to attend to, I decided to start on it. Anyway, this is going to be a long post so hopefully you could read til the end, and perhaps start watching the movies. :) CRAYON SHIN-CHAN (Jp: クレヨンしんちゃん) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshito Usui. It follows the adventures of the five-year-old Shinnosuke "Shin" Nohara and his parents, baby sister, dog, neighbours, and friends and is set in Kasukabe, Saitama Prefecture of Japan. Thank you Wikipedia. If you have watched the series you probably had an impression that it's not appropriate for kids given the naughty remarks and mischievous actions of Shin-chan especially towards his mom. Dubbed versions are even worse because the language used are oftentime more rude compared to the original. Apart from the language, there's also the "elephant", underwear and piggy stuff mentioned throughout the series. In our country, the Phlippines, the show was aired back in the early 2000s (voiced by Andrew E., a popular rapper here) and up until now, Filipinos have this thought that Shin-chan is just one naughty series full of antics of a young boy. Luckily, in 2008 I stumbled upon a Crayon Shin-chan movie that made me watch ALL its MOVIES! It totally changed my view of Crayon Shin-chan, and this is why I'm writing this to somehow change your mind and try to watch them! I picked some of the movie versions that have left an impact on me after watching. There's a lot of 'em so I cannot really put my review for all.
