This show is genius! It's a combination of the rude cartoon Shinchan, and the family movie "My Neighbors the Yamadas." I was looking for something different from the ordinary anime styles that seem to be getting repetative right now, and found Shin Atashinchi, a portrait of a Japanese family. If you're trying to learn Japanese, there's a whole episode dedicated to clever Japanese wordplay. This show is so real, I can guarantee that there will be hilarious bits on various things that happen to you all the time, but for some reason no one else ever talks about them. It doesn't matter if you're male or female, young or old, this anime has strikingly relevant comedy situations for everyone. The art is kept minimalist for good reason, and very much lends itself to the average person much better because of it. Without too much detail, you can visualize yourself as the characters much more easily. It took me a few episodes to really get into it, nearing episode 20, I couldn't help but loudly cry out "This show is [*******] genius!"
