As far as I've seen, the Hima-less episodes don't really make much of a difference. Hima hasn't been in every episode that's been dubbed either, and it's not like that's been glaringly obvious. The only ones where this could possibly be an issue would be where Hima was actually born (the originals of which I haven't seen) - otherwise it's just Shin-chan as usual.

As for the stuff that's "too Japanese", look what they did with friggin' kendo. I think it's safe to assume the writers can work around that.

And I'm happy to have made motivational posters for both "Tape fixes everything" and the "That's right . . . a motherfucking rabbit!" rant.

Is this done recently so I can look through the thread and easily find it?

Or if not, could you please provide a link?

[Vermicious Knid]

I'm curious, has anyone bought the dvds? Any extras?

[Last Time Lord]

There are DVDs out? O_O

I wish I knew that sooner.

Just the first season...the first disc is marked as "#1" and colored yellow, the second is "#2" and brown. And maybe I'll post the pics on my Flickr account. I've done a lot of SC posters, and those were two of my favorites.

Season 2 part 1 is being released Tuesday.

Crayon Shin-chan Manga Creator Usui Missing Since Friday.

Apparently he's gone missing while hiking.

[Orion7]

It looks as if they may have found his body.

[Vermicious Knid]

Sad news.

On Sunday, authorities have identified the body discovered at Arafune mountain as that of missing Crayon Shin-chan manga creator Yoshito Usui through dental records and other means.

The body was discovered 120 meters below the mountain's Tomoiwa cliff and reported at about 10:25 a.m. on Saturday by a male climber. Usui's backpack, camera, and other items had fallen about 50 meters away. Inside Usui's backpack was his mobile phone, wallet, and clothes. A police helicopter from Gunma Prefecture airlifted the body on Sunday afternoon. Police from the nearby town of Shimonita concluded that the 51-year-old creator died from collapsed lungs and other injuries sustained across his entire body sometime in the afternoon of September 11.

That is so sad. Condolences to his family.

[Dariendude15]

Was he still actively working on the series? If so, then crap, dude...

[Vermicious Knid]

He was still drawing the manga. There's been no decision made about the tv series yet.

[Last Time Lord]

And the Manga's set through November.

I haven't heard anything on it's future past that.
