The newly dubbed version felt more appropriate for five year olds and had lost the charm of the original. We passed on this new English version and returned to Mr. Crofford's worn out VHS dub of the original. |
Eh? JN Productions/KIKU-TV had them (subtitled), and then FUNimation got the rights. Who's this mysterious "third party?"

There's another English dub that never took off in America. It aired in Europe. The ANN encyclopedia has some information on it.

I happened to watch an episode of Shin-chan at a get together with some anime club buddies, on Adult Swim last night. I actually found the show funny at times and mildly entertaining and thought they did a good job with the dubbing. It's just the show itself is so hard to swallow for typical anime fans, with the unusual, sketchy art design, in-your-face toilet humor and the dysfunctional-family-sitcom feel to it. But the dub cast does include big names such as Monica Rial, Carrie Savage and Chris Patton so I can see that Funimation wanted to put alot of talent into it.
Oh btw my first exposure to Crayon Shin-chan was through KIKU-TV when I lived in Hawaii and I was pleased that Hawaii stations were doing general broadcasts of popular anime shows, but I still just couldn't get into CSC.
