Originally added to Hulu back in 2010 and 2011, the Shin-chan series faded off after a while and has now returned. Funimation has brought the fifty-two episodes that they produced in dubbed/edited form to the service where it works its own script based on the original to some degree. The series is one that saw DVD-only releases previously and in the dubbed-only form.

The show is based on the manga from Yoshito Usui that began in 1990 and completed in 2010 with fifty published volumes. The anime adaptation kicked off in 1992 and is still going on in Japan with 895 episodes produced so far. Funimation’s limited license was only for a small subset of episodes.

Plot concept: Shin Chan: Laugh to hide your tears… He’s rude. He’s crass. He’s unbelievably obnoxious and he likes showing his @$$. He’s Shin, and he’s the star of this train wreck.
