C&C - Shin-Chan - "Episode 45" [8/23]

[Speedy Boris]

More Shinny goodness on ASV.

The Kiss of Debt - Hiro hates being punished by Mitzi by taking his allowance away. Title pun of The Kiss of Death. This segment makes no sense.

Shinja Gaiden - Title pun of Ninja Gaiden. Principal Ench Teaches the kids how to be ninjas. Shin does his ninja a-- dance.

Grandfather Knows Best - Title pun of Father Knows Best. Grandfather Koyama comes by to see Shin and finds that the house is a mess. I like this segment is when the reason why Grandfather Koyama came because the beast took over. I think he meant Masae which is her first appearance only wearing a dragon mask.

"The Kiss Of Debt" - I'm not really a fan of the whole "wife gets to pull everything over on the husband after every minor screw up" kind of show really. I mean at least hiro trying to trick or initmadte Mitzy seems like more then most japanese anime roles would do in his situation but it really dosen't lead to any satifisying laughs. I did like Shin's pep talk to Hiro, Hiro realizing conditions never mean a good thing, the fake giant robot fight (though that was done with the whole samurai ninja angle a few eps back more focus on that would be better), and Shin's twist of the lucnhes at the end not very funny really. I kind of prefer Hiro ant Mitzi to be more in an equal relatonship annoying each other or being annoyed by Shin not Mitzy holding all the power and Hiro left without any dignity whatsover. So that kind of tampers my enjoyment of this one really.

"Shinja Gaiden" - Ah this was a much better segment. I always like the ones where the kids are all playing pretend at something and one of them dosen't have all the power. Plus Ench segments can usually be pretty good. With all the ninja refs they could of tried mentioning Naruto or more about Gaiden then just Boo repeating the title of the ep. I did like the TMNT refs as well as the Power Ranger ones (mainly Shin remembering the blue ranger being less of a wimp then Georgie. I do note though that when using the Ninja and Shogun megazords and Ninja Storm the Power Rangers were ninja so it is sort of appliable to use PR Ninja skills... kind of). I liked the kids roleyplaying discussion in the beginning, Ench's stories and the kids telling him to start telling them about it, the various lessons (mainly the walk on paper which actually had a good use of the ass dance, Shin trying to do the toliet paper run and the whole paper shiruken instead of the metal ones dipped in posion), Mr. K making the save for Ai and making the kids want him to be they're ninja mentor (he does have good sneaky skills) and Ench trying to battle Mr. K (if Mrs. Polly were there I'd bet there'd be a comment of her being happy her two "men" were fighting over her or something). So a pretty good segment. Could of used some more ninja nerdy refs but still fun stuff.

"Grandfather Knows Best" - I think this is one of the few times we get to see Mitzy's father (Shin's mother grandpa which is what I'm calling him) without having to see either Mitzy's mother or Hiro's dad. Which I guess is pretty interesting. In truth I really just liked the idea of this one then the actual jokes of this one: Shin being able to not get away with cleaning because his grandpa stepped in and now Mitzi's yelling at him and Shin gets to eat Ice Cream and here the two of them talk. Nice ending. The rest of it wasn't really too good, besides Shin thinking mother grandpa was some sort of TV monster and Mother grandpa being digusted at having to send Shin to an american school.

Overall not really the best ep. The second segment was the best and the other two had they're problems (too much of a similar cliche situation vs not realy many funny lines) to make this one fairly mediocre.

You meant "grandmother".

Shin thought the beast looked like a dragon which he meant his Aunt Masae wearing a dragon mask.

Don't mess with the boob job jar.

I need more allowance. Yodel-ay-ee-oo. Why? Because I do.

Where is your honor, man?! Where is your penis?!

The rooster crows, but the hen delivers the goods.

Mecha marital spats.
"Did I hear pretend robot rockets?"

All for Shin to get out of eating veggies.

"I could be one of the 300 oily ripply-muscled Spartans!"

Japan's greatest ninjas...the Power Rangers?

Shin's silent wind of doom WHOOOOOSH...

[LordTerminal]

"How about ninja vs Contra war guerillas first?"

A Ninja Gaiden reference AND a Contra reference in one episode.

Meh. The Power Rangers are close enough.

Ninja Ass Dance Jutsu!

"My Mom said I'm not allowed to talk to strange TVs."

[Rolling Cloud]

Power Ranger reference ftw

[Kitschensyngk]

"And don't pose your robot when I yell at you! You're making it hard not to laugh!"

Nobody wants to be buried alive.

Shin the gracious host.

Grandfather's absence makes her think twice about suicide.

I hate Jelly Bellies. Buttered popcorn flavor? Gag.

[tb4000]

What would a grown woman need a toy for?

What indeed, Grandpa?

The buttered popcorn flavored jelly beans are awesome.

Did you see that Mr. K was really fast?

[Speedy Boris]

I laughed at "What's in the paper? Oh, more war."

[Jtaylor1]

"You mean she turned into a weredragon?"

[zoombie]

The Kiss Of Debt - Mitzy having the men at her mercy with the money, that has been done already. I get the point, but Hiro's fantasy at work make up for that.

Shinja Gaden - I loved the title and it is reference to Ninja Gaden. Ench has a weird past. The Power Ranger references were great, as was Georgie and Penny arguing who is Shin's friend. Mr. K ruled at the end, he is a great bodyguard. With the sad life that is Mr. K, it is nice that he has some fans at the end of his episode.

Grandfather Knows Better - I thought Hiro's dad was going to appear again, but I am glad Mitzy's dad got the spotlight for once. He can be funny too. The way he is judgemental of Mitzy is funny.

[Jtaylor1]

I only get to see Masae in her dragon mask in the dub once, but now I want to see her face.
