"Such "boring" plotlines and the simplistic art are often a turn-off to non-Japanese audiences" I was quoting something, that was not something I said. And not everybody enjoys those "60's cartoons", so its not really a surprise this isen't that popular in the west either. my belief is that many people are just not open to older things out of sheer intellectual laziness or maybe just lack of interest in all things outside of their blinkered world view (a sickness sadly very prevalent in our modern consumer tv culture) .....just because something is foreign or old does not make it "boring" or "simplistic", but rather an experience to be savored as a window into another simpler and more warm time - it's the same reason i love to watch silent movies from the early 1900's or like to read 18th century british novels....open yr. mind! So its a sickness to not your taste? is that what you're saying? Aside from the fact it barely has any episodes subbed(which once-again, is a huge turn-off), and the fact it has over 6000 episodes, thus it would take way to long to finish. Open your mind? Everybody who never watched this doesen't have a open mind? Do you like sounding like a elitist? Is it that hard for you to consider that not everybody shares your taste in media? |
| Because it is. |
 |
| Maybe because there's over 6,000 fucking episodes. |

| i didnt even know this existed until you pointed it out |

| No moe = no interest. That's pretty much why people don't dig this anime. |

| It too fucking long thats what. If you've watched every single episode then.... thats over 1100 hours of your life your never getting back. |
| because not all of us have access to Japanese channels and I just can't find the appeal in this |
| I found episode 1 on youtube |
| I watched the first 2 episodes just out of curiosity, though I already knew a bit what it was like, anyway, dropped. |
 |
| It's pretty difficult if not impossible to follow this show outside of Japan. I mean, there are online videos but if you don't know Japanese it is absurd to watch them because it seems nobody wants to do the hard work of subbing 6400 episodes. I watched the first minute of the video by AstarQ but that's about it. I usually refuse to watch a raw series, not to mention one that is so focused on Japanese popular culture and must be heavy in situational dialogue and expressions. |

But if there were, I'd probably watch it. the language used in this anime is simple its a good anime to watch as a learning Comanpoin if you wish you Leran Japanese along with Nintama and Maruko Key phrase: if you wish you Leran Japanese. (sic) Most people don't have any active interest in doing so, since, I don't know ,maybe they have other things in their life. Most would rather stick to Leran English, thank you very much. The better question is why the hell you can't work out something so obvious on your own. |

| @NFH Very good but saddening to know :( |
| You are asking why something with no subs is underviewed... And also even if it were subbed, it seems like the sort of show you need to be a native japanese to really get fully. Plus it doesn't sound that exciting to me :P Though if it was subbed i would be willing to give it a try, the episodes are short so it can just be a thing on the side to sometimes watch when i'm bored :P |

| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| You know I would love to watch sazae-san, I see it pretty difficult to find sources to watch all episodes. A raw anime with simple japanese dialogue seems interesting for people who want to learn the japanese language. |
NFH said: This series has never been officially released on home video because the creator Machiko Hasegawa requested it before she died. Well Machiko Hasegawa, fuck you. |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| It's because it's one of the few anime that is viewed as "acceptable" by adults. No one want to watch something that's "acceptable". |

| Japanese TV Ratings =/= American TV Ratings, even then, if i were to watch an animated sitcom, i would rather watch American cartoons like Ed Edd & Eddy |

| I've been watching anime since about 94-96 when it was cheaper to buy dubbed because some retard at Viz & Pioneer decided to charges an extra $10-$15 for subs. I too have never heard of this show. I can accept the loss of the 1st 15-18 years when you realize the technological limitations of the time. That said maybe... just maybe someone will reverse sub the series from current stuff backwards. That's the only way I see it working, & pray this show doesn't have linear arcs. Considering each episode is 10mins it'll be a safe bet on non-linear story. Lastly if they can butcher Crayola Shin Chan to work for westerners then they can take the knife to this. Really has anyone ever seen dubbed Shin Chan?! What the $#&* over?! Keep the topical/pop humor completely intact people. |

Keep the topical/pop humor completely intact people. Because people want to hear jokes about transient pop-culture or politics from decades ago? That would make fansubs difficult enough, but putting money into a straight release of something like Shin-chan (or Sazae-san) is a ridiculous idea. It would never succeed. |

It would never work. Anime is a niche interest in America, even stuff that's mainstream and actually popular in Japan like Shin-chan, Sazae-san, or Detective Conan. Airing a series that's so steeped in the atmosphere of 1960s Japan would never work. It's trading on nostalgia that an American audience cannot possibly have. |

Shin Chan is a Family Show and funi fucked in to a south park clone when you consider i was aring subbed in the us on Kiku Tv from around a mothn after it began in Japan till funomation raped it its not Nostagia have you look at the ratings ofr it of late Kiku is a Hawaiian TV station and its a bad idea to draw a conclusion from just one state; the cultural environment of Hawaii is quite different from the rest of the US; Kiku is specifically aimed at Asians; almost 40% of the population in that state whereas it's only 5% nationally (http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/15000.html). Moreover even they aired anime via partnership with Funimation for a while only to give it up because it wasn't popular enough (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KIKU#cite_ref-7). |
