Shin Chan: The High School Years

Raging BullShin: It's a fight between Shin and Maso's bully. I can also see Penny still has her Happiness Bunny and she still beating it up. At the park, Shin gets beaten up.

Million Dollar "Censored": I had to censor the word because it's an inappropriate word to post in this topic. Sorry. We'll anyway it's a boxing match between Boo and I don't know who this guy's name and I can't pronounciate it. And Shin's got a week to train before his big match.

The Grade Nine Hope: It's looks like the narrator is reading the wrong script. The Conclusion: Shin wins the match and goes out on a sunset stroll with Nanako.

Shin Chan: The High School Years

Ragin Bullshin / Milllion Dollar "Censor" / The Grade Nine Hope - Since all of the episodes are just a continuation of each other, I am going to review them all.

First of all, I am disappointed they decided to air them all at once, I thought they would air one episode at the end every week like they did for the "Lucky Baster Fever" arc, oh well. This episode was a parody of 80's teen films and Rocky IV. Boo died to the Russian just like Apollo Creed. It is clear he only died in the dub, and when he "died", I didn't think he was dead, he was just injuried badly.

Shin predicitable gives up boxing, only to return to the ring to get revenge, and he does it great. Shin was funny, but unchracteristic series. I loved the end of him of beating the Russian and going on a stroll with Nanako. Shin finally got the girl of his dreams, they had to age him 10 years and make her 5 years younger, but still, it worked out. Yeah Shin.

As for the side notes, I loved Penny's preformance in this episode and how the other girls are all scared of her. I was hoping to see "pre teen" Hima.

I thought I was going to expect at the end, Mitzi clocks Shin in the head telling him that he's late for school and Shin knew it was all a dream and he's still in kindergarten. Oh, well.

And Boo didn't actually die, he's still appears in the conclusion.

I hope FUNimation dubs "Pencil Shin-Chan".

I hope FUNimation dubs "Pencil Shin-Chan".

Me too, it is basicly the samething as Shin Chan: The High School Years, only the world is just a little more closer to the normal Shin reality.

Though "Pencil Shin-Chan" was a tv special, but I think FUNimation can dub special episodes and movies.

 

[Classic Speedy]

"Take that, fish who has nothing to do with my sorrows!"

Love the fight announcer's commentary.

 

[Jtaylor1]

One thing that's missing is there could've been a song parody of "You're The Best" by Joe Esposito in this episode.

"Shin Chan The high School Years: Episode Two, Raging Bullshin" - I don't know if it's right to seperate these into segments espicallly since they're running in one episode but if it's what the writers are doing it's what I'm doing. Anyway this was overall a better segment then the first part even if there weren't as many laugh out loud moments. The idea of Shin becoming a quitter boxer and having nothing else in life is pretty funny, espically considering he you know still looks the same and all. There were a lot of other funny jokes too: the previously mention with Maso forgetting exactly what he said, Shin doing the what's in my hand game with the russian boxer instead of fighting him, the sad song playing of everyone else having a hobbie but Shin, Georgie's career of working for Jeb Bush and coming to japan on buisness (sadly no terrorist remarks in the little flashback Shin imagination though. Guess no room for them), "you look like a first grader and have an ass like a kindergardner and sound like a fully grown woman", "I probably said something here about how much I hate boxing", Hiro trying to give Shin a pep talk in the tub, and Maso talking about how he'll never probably like a girl but knows all about men. Fun stuff and a good continuation for this storyline.

"Shin Chan The High School Years: Episode Three: Million Dollar Boo-by" - You know they really should be hammering in these Rocky IV refrences instead of just letting them lie to the ground. I mean you got a whole boxing story with one of Shin's friends being massacered by a powerhouse Russian and Shin feeling he has to fight the guy back in order to avenge his friend. Really for such a meta show so far we haven't really been getting any "woah deja vu Rocky" jokes. And though the jokes weren't as good as they were in the first segment they were still good. Highlights would be saying that since they're japanese kids they should be good at Math, the boxing commentary with the guy comparing it to his sex life and wanting to see someone land a powerful punch, Boo's wish to be buried in his sandbox, "you better get use to me being on top" the boxing revenge rap song when Shin finally decided to take it up again, meeting the russian kid on the streets and the to be continued mark leading us into the next part.

"Shin Chan, The High School Years: Episode Four: The Grade Nine Hope" - The previous on 24 line about Jack Bauer dying and being brought back for 168 hours was a good way to kick off this segment which wasn't as good as the other two parts but still enjoyable. I did like the Boo is a ghost jokes (sadly no refrences to other ghost FUNi shows but also like how they wrote in that joke since obviously Boo didn't die in the Japanese version but they gave him a reason to appear here despite saying he died), Shin's training and singing a variation of the eye of the tiger song and meeting with the Russian rival on the beach, the letter to Naniko about saying he's boxing (espically the "wear something slutty" line and Naniko hoping he's a better lover then speller), the I will break you line being heard in the fight, the two trading punches, Shin winning with the "punch that looks like any other punch except this one make me win the fight" attack and Shin and Naniko going off at the end. Glad Shin had a happy ending with her for once and hey since this is out of continuity high school stuff we can imagine all the things they could be doing after the beach walk. Or uh maybe we shoudln't but just saying.

Overall a really good episode. The segments got weaker as time went on but the story of Shin's comeback into high school boxing was funny. Too bad there probably aren't other high School tales about him since they make for some good stuff.

I must break you.

Nanako, er, there's...a dog whizzing on your leg there.

In Soviet Russia, the dump takes YOU!

PENNY STILL NEEDS HELP.

"Check his ass for evil!"

Nanako makes him think twice about suicide.

"Take that, fish that has nothing to do with my sorrows!"

How'd they fit Madison Square Garden inside of a Japanese high school gymnasium?

Lots of squirming around and no physical contact.

BOO IS NOW DEAD YOU'RE TO BLAME SHIN IT'S ON YOUR HEAD MUST AVENGE HIM CAN'T FIGHT FIGHTING IT'S YOUR THING...

I bust you like I bust Carl Weathers in fourth movie!

This US-Japan educational system sucks. Even when you're dead you'll still expected to be at school on time.

 

[Bunai]

lol
i wonder who does all the singing.

"is it scary being a ghost?" "ah!"

 

[Kitschensyngk]

lol
i wonder who does all the singing.

FUNimation vocalists, probably.

And there's the obligatory montage.

"Tomorrow, you is dead."
"I know you is, but what is I?"

Obviously, boxing must have its limits, but providing they're both perfectly fit, I can see nothing wrong with one healthy man beating the living daylights out of a little schoolboy.

Super Punch-That's-Just-Like-All-The-Others-Except-I-Win Punch!

I knew that "I must break you" line was coming. It was just a question of how long before they were going to say it.

Loved the episode. Boo's "death" was great even though it was quite obvious that he didn't die in the original. I loved them covering them up by making him a ghost and having him complain about how stupid it was being a ghost.

 

[zoombie]

I think Boo's "death" they were trying to parody Million Dollar Baby, but it came off more of a Rocky IV parody because the boxer was a Russian, and the hero wanted to avenge his death.

Shin Chan: The High School Years, that is what they should have with Rugrats when they did the All Grown Up special. It would have been better.

 

[jv2k]

I love how during the "you look like a first grader and have an ass like a kindergardner and sound like a full grown woman" line Shin's VA shifted to her normal voice when saying sounds like a full grown woman.

 

[Daxdiv]

Boo's death to me was more of a reference to Rocky IV while the title was Million Dollar Baby. Otherwise I think we would have had a scene referencing Euthanasia. Well I am glad they decided to air all the remaining parts together rather than separate like the Action Bastard special.

 

[Jtaylor1]

Shin also used the phrase from Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

"I know you are but what am I?"
