I really hoped we’d get a good ending and that he just lost his phone on his hike. While not the biggest fan of Shin-chan, I watched it a lot as a kid when I lived in Japan, so I know about it at the very least.

Heard about this on Japan Probe yesterday, though they still weren’t sure it was his body they found. Guess it’s confirmed now. Very sad news. :(

Very sad, indeed. Crayon Shin-chan was part of my childhood (in 2001, at least… thanks Animax to re-airing again since 2005). Although I have only seen 104 programs :I (programs and not chapters).

I’ve only seen the Americanized version by FUNimation, but this is still pretty saddening to me. R.I.P. Yo--o Usui

I’ve known about Shin-chan, but I can’t say I have really paid attention to it. This is very sad news to say the least though, and I honor him for basically creating an anime version of South Park. RIP

D: He referenced the MOTHER series once, but I mean obviously that’s not the only reason I’ve watched the show. It was genuinely funny, so this is sad news.

That’s like, “give me eighty thousand dollars and one Hostess fruit pie.”

That MOTHER reference was only in the FUNi dub; he didn’t put it in there. And it wasn’t as crazy as South Park, that was FUNi’s doing too. Man…starting to wonder if it would have been better if they had put in actual translations instead of playing things up for the adult swim audience.
