Toy Vault is pleased to annouce a licensing partnership with Funimation to make Shin chan plush for the US market. A huge hit in Japan for many years this hit anime series has now made it stateside to rave reviews.
The first of 26 new episodes of the Shin Chan anime series will air on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on Friday, April 4th at 12:30 and 3:30 a.m. This will bring the total number of Shin Chan episodes adapted by FUNimation to 52. FUNimation's dubs, which are filled with lots of western pop culture references, are very adult-oriented and irreverent in the Adult Swim manner -- the new episodes begin with a series of Star Wars ("Shin Wars") parodies filled with characters such as "Puke Skypooper," "Princess Labia," and "Any-Wan Canblowme." If this sort of outrageous parody stuff works with Adult Swim audiences, there's plenty more where these came from. The Crayon Shin anime series has reached over 600 episodes in Japan.
