-- [[{{Woolseyism}} [=LatinAmericanDub=]]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3wvxWkwFmE Intro song]].

''Dotto! Koni-chan'' is WidgetSeries directed by ShinichiWatanabe. It originally aired on Animax between November 26, 2000 and May 29, 2001. It was animated by Shaft and produced by Animax and Genco.

The story - as it is - involves the title character Koni and his gang having lots of [[WidgetSeries crazy and incoherent adventures]] (from fighting with their 'Lovely Teacher' to kicking a can, dealing with samurai fish, driving a taxi, or saving the world) in their equally crazy world. It has NoFourthWall, and lots of LampshadeHanging and {{Parodied Trope}}s.

The cast consists in five main characters that deconstruct known tropes: Koni is TheAce GodModeSue, High is your usual HotBlooded anime hero ([[TheWoobie who is always suffering one way or the other]]), Moro is MsFanservice with [[StalkerWithACrush some]] [[{{Yandere}} sort]] [[LovableSexManiac of]] [[LoveMakesYouCrazy crush]] on ObliviousToLove [[KavorkaMan Koni]], Nari is a [[{{ItsAllAboutMe}} self centered]] [[{{ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney}} rich guy]] with a [[{{Fetish}} fixation for rounded things]] ([[EvenTheGuysWantHim therefore, with Koni]]), and Afro the dog, yet another self-insert of ShinichiWatanabe.

[[NeverAcceptedInHisHometown Practically unnoticed in its country of origin]], [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff the series was a hit in Latin America]], especially in Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Argentina. This is probably due to its outstanding [[CulturalTranslation localized]] [[{{Woolseyism}} translation]] [[note]]to give an example of localization, on one chapter they sing [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ketchup_Song The Ketchup Song]][[/note]], which can be easily compared to what American Dubbers [[CulturalTranslation did with]] SamuraiPizzaCats.

The story involves Koni and his gang having lots of crazy and incoherent adventures in their equally crazy world. It's really a WidgetSeries, with NoFourthWall, and lots of LampshadeHanging and {{Parodied Trope}}s. Just to give the viewer an idea, the aforementioned adventures the protagonist have could range from fighting with their 'Lovely Teacher' and dealing with samurai fish, to kicking a can and driving a taxi, to confirming if 'The Armored Guy's' wife has an affair and saving the world.

The cast consists of five weird character that deconstruct known tropes. Koni is TheAce GodModeSue, High is your usual HotBlooded anime hero ([[TheWoobie who is always suffering one way or the other]]), Moro is MsFanservice with [[StalkerWithACrush some]] [[{{Yandere}} sort]] [[LovableSexManiac of]] [[LoveMakesYouCrazy crush]] on [[ObliviousToLove Ko]][[KavorkaMan ni]], Nari is a [[{{ItsAllAboutMe}} self centered]] [[{{ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney}} rich guy]] with a [[{{Fetish}} fixation for rounded things]] ([[EvenTheGuysWantHim therefore, with Koni]]), and [[AndZoidberg Afro]]... the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Afro]]-dog.

[[NeverAcceptedInHisHometown Practically unnoticed on its country of origin]], [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff the series was a hit in Latin America]], especially in [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Argentina.]] The reason behind this is most likely due to its outstanding [[CulturalTranslation localized]] [[{{Woolseyism}} translation]] [[hottip: *: to give an example of localization, on one chapter they sing [[TheSomethingSong The Ketchup Song]][[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ketchup_Song]]]] , which can be easily compared to what American Dubbers [[CulturalTranslation did with]] SamuraiPizzaCats.

Being just an obscure Gag Series in Japan, the LatAm dub turned into a cult-classic and is more generally appreciated by fans. Just to help contrast, there is more information on the Spanish version of TheOtherWiki about KoniChan than the English and Japanese wiki combined.
