Any Shin Chan fans? Pretty funny stuff, though it's been dubbed many times and some were toned down for kids shows, and some like the Funimation dub were toned up and heavily westernized to air on Adult Swim:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crayon_Shin-chan#Vitello_and_Phuuz_dubs
Quote:
Shin Chan, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshito Usui. It follows the adventures of the five-year-old Shinnosuke "Shin" Nohara and his parents, baby sister, dog, neighbours, and friends and is set in Kasukabe, Saitama Prefecture.
Crayon Shin-chan first appeared in 1990 in a Japanese weekly magazine called Weekly Manga Action, which is published by Futabasha. Due to the death of author Yoshito Usui, the manga in its original form ended on September 11, 2009. A new manga began in the summer of 2010 by members of Usui's team,[4] titled New Crayon Shin-chan (新クレヨンしんちゃん Shin Kureyon Shin-chan).
An anime adaptation of the series began airing on TV Asahi in 1992 and is still ongoing on several television networks, worldwide. The show has now been dubbed in 30 languages[5] which aired in 45 countries,[6] has over 940 episodes and 25 full-length films. Crayon Shin-chan is the 24th highest-grossing animated franchise and more than 100 million copies of the manga have been sold worldwide.
Pretty crazy, 940+ episodes, 26 full length movies, and dubbed into at least 30 languages to be aired in 45+ countries 
But like I said some of the dubs were made into childrens shows, but the original was pretty raunchy/mature and some of the adaptions are Sienen (for older audiences)
I've only found the Funimation english dub, but there's a newer one that sounds more true to the source material. Most of it is just subbed for now though sadly.
Here's a list of the 26 movies:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Crayon_Shin-chan_films
I've watched 2 of the newer movies so far and they are pretty solid. Also just started the newest series Crayon Shin-chan Gaiden: Omocha Wars
Which is about abandoned kids toys that come to life and seek revenge on the kids who forgot about them It centers around a action figure called "Middle Aged Mask" who's a fat superhero who fights "Oban" who is a middle aged villainess trying to act young Only 8/13 short episodes have aired so far. It centers around kids but is some pretty funny sienen comedy: https://www.watchcartoononline.io/anime/crayon-shin-chan-gaiden-omocha-wars-english-subbed
That site also just uploaded 16 of the 26 Shin Chan movies Very excited to check out some more of them.
Anyways pretty funny anime comedy, I've heard Shin Chan described as Japanese southpark/family guy but it's also fairly distinct.

You talking about the Funimation dub?
I think the original is a bit more "wholesome" in some ways, while still being lewd in other ways. For example here's the plot for one of the movies:
Quote:
Crayon Shin-chan: Great Adventure in Henderland
The film is about Shinnosuke and his classmates at Futaba Kindergarten going to an amusement park known as Henderland in Gunma Prefecture. Shin-chan is separated from his group and learns the dark secrets of the amusement park when he befriends a living marionette who entrusts to him a magical set of playing cards. Magical and dark forces are set upon Shin-chan and his family by the lords of the park and he must use the power of the cards and the inner strength and determination of himself, his family, and an unexpected group of friends to save the day.
From what I've seen the original has a lot of family humor targeted at older audiences, which includes making fun of kids/adults as well as some more positive stuff.
Been meaning to read the Manga though, and I've only seen some of the subbed stuff.
Seems like a lot of good social commentary about commercialism and other modern aspects of life as well.

Have you watched the subbed versions? The original Manga is Sienen and definitely not for kids, as are a few of the subbed anime I've seen.
It's been dubbed into 30 languages and some of the dubs were made for kids, including the first English dub.
The Funimation dub makes it much darker and westernized but they also kind of bastardized it in many ways. I still enjoy their dub for the most part though.

Here's some of the original manga which is Sienen:

Pretty sure it's not for kids...
Though like I said some of the 30~ dubs were made for kids, including the Indian one I believe, and the first English one which edited out most of the nudity and profanity.

SAO was pretty bad lol It might be good as an anime to get started with if you never really watched it before but IMO it has poorly written characters and personalities, poorly written plot, and seemed like it was just coming up with bullshit to keep the show going. I didn't hate watching it but I don't think there's anything that would make me want to watch it again or want to suggest it to anyone. The abridged version is far superior and has the character development/originality that was lacking in the original version. If you watched the original I'd highly recommend it.
Some of the voice actors are from dragonball abridged too.

I thought it had solid animation but yeah the story/writing left a lot to be desired, maybe just because I've seen a lot of similar anime like .Hack.
I remember when I was watching SAO I kept seeing ridiculous similarities to the .Hack series To the point where it felt like a .hack fan fiction.
The first part had some promise but went in some weird/creepy directions, and I thought the second western/gun heavy part was really cliché. Can't even remember if I finished it.
Might have to check out the abridged version, I was watching some old 80's anime the other night and thought about how much fun it would be to abridge it

Is that a Gundam series? Sounds familiar. What's BS about it?
Anyone else been watching Lupin The Third part 5? Episode 3 came out today, it keeps getting better and better IMO! One of the best series I've seen in awhile. Though only the sub is coming out for now.
3 episodes in and the series has already brought up the darknet, online drug markets, assassins, human trafficking, cryptocurrencies, and a lot of hacking.
It's airing weekly with new episodes every Tuesday, check it out. Really great animation and story so far, usually lupin is mainly stand alone episodes but all 3 have been continuous so far.
I'm really excited to see how the next 21 episodes go! Hopefully it's popular enough they make a movie as well.

I don't see it anywhere offhand, haven't watched any gundams/mecha anime in a longtime either. Aside from FLCL or Gurren Lagan 
Have heard good things about that one though, will keep an eye out 
Here's a really random anime I just came across:
Quote:
Invaders From Cyberspace
When a world of 2-D beings discovers the existence of our universe, they send a team of beautiful Domni-Matrixes into our world to prepare it for total integration. However, once liberated from their flat and dreary 2-D existence, Compiler and Assembler quickly discovered that cybersex with a couple of 3-D guys is a lot more fun than world conquest. Now, in between interfacing with their boyfriends, Assembler and Compiler must protect the Earth from being deleted by their former masters and an army of killer programs.

The name sounded kind of interesting, one of the strangest plots I've seen in an anime though.

Anyone ever watch reqieum for the darkness?
Requiem From The Darkness Opening Theme
It's a supernatural horror mystery/crime show with some beautiful animation. It aired on the sci fi channel years ago apparently. Only a few episodes in so far but I think it's great.
The animation is very simple/abstract at times but also gets really trippy during some of the supernatural parts.

Just in case you do end up watching the SAO abridged, this is the channel for it https://www.youtube.com/user/SWEabridged
It's funny even if you didn't watch the original but it's definitely way better if you did. They take a literal eternity to release a new episode every single time but it's worth the wait lol.

I probably should check out Lupin just because of the FLCL connection. Eventually.
