    Do people still give a shit about Shin Chan today? I thought it died out years ago.

      in this case it's not that much about shin-chan, it's about this being first Boku no Natsuyasumi game released in west.

        Guess it makes sense to test the waters on something with at least a small element of brand recognition

    How likely is a physical release in the West? I would really rather not have to import. Also, does Sony still own the rights to Boku no Natsuyasumi? Hope maybe this will convince someone there to localize those.

        That's only referring to Japan, where it already launched physically on Switch. It's unknown if there will be a western physical release on either system.

      Miura died a year ago and they brought back Berserk, they've lost their way

        Oh yeah, that's happening. I'm sure Miura has a bigass bible full of stuff they can use to continue the story, but who's doing the art?

        Nah the creator is still around. I remember he was trying to get Sony to fund a Boku no Natsuyasumi game in the early years of the PS4, but nothing came of it. So it came as a shock when this released last year on Switch.

        No, not the game series creator, the creator of Shin Chan. He fell off a cliff years ago.

          what the frick

          Kouji Mori (author of Holyland) his longtime closest friend since childhood is overseeing the production. He actually ended one of his own series to give more time and focus to Berserk.

          The story will come from the plot as he’s outlined it to Mori before his death, and apparently will be only that, he doesn’t want to make it his own work, just finish as much of Muira’s work as he can. The art is being done by the same assistants who were already working on Berserk, so the art has been about the same honestly.

          Without knowing what happened you could read the most recent chapters and not notice any differences.

          First 2 chapters came out this week. Not much happened and it felt like barely 1 chapter but it's happening.

        what the frick is up with berserk? why do people praise it as literally peak manga?
        the 97 anime wasn't even that good, it just had god tier music. I still tried the manga cause the anime ended on a cliffhanger, and it read like a comic book. cool art style sure, but everything about it felt generic as frick.

      Actually wouldn't surprise me to see it but I doubt it will be 10 minutes, they already need at least 7 minutes dedicated to bayonetta, unless they announce a separate video for it so they can show off the gore and lewd since they can't really do that in any sort of general direct

    my understanding is that in Japan, Crayon Shin Chan is a legitmate series for kids, but in the west it's on adult swim and shit?

    Does it have an adult gag dub or something?

        my mom used to laugh a lot watching this show with me, it was well received in a lot of countries in EU. I think they still dub the new episodes and movies in my country.
        I remember trying to do the butt dance shin chan does when I was like 10 to amuse my parents, my parents took a photo and my cousin stole it and showed it to a lot of people in school, everyone laughed and made fun of me. Frick this show

          I know Shin-chan has been going on for a long time now and they probably ran out of ideas but copying Meet the Robinsons is a bit low.

    All I know about Shin-Chan is that movie where all the adults give into nostalgia and revert to a childlike state and their kids all have to fend for themselves. It was actually very moving and poignant. Hope this game is cool.

      What's weird is that they had a half-decent dub first but never released it in America. I watched that one as a kid, it's reasonably accurate for kids show dubbing standards. But then one of those Ghost Stories style trannies picked it up and made it "funny".
