History YMMV / CrayonShinChan

** The original Japanese version. While the manga is seinen, the show is actually considered ''a family show'' despite its raunchy humor and airs in a primetime slot.[[note]]Most anime that airs in Japan intended purely for adults is "late night anime" airing from 11pm-4am. These shows also aren't intended for mainstream audiences.[[/note]]

** The [[UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}} Filipino]] Dub with the main character voiced by the {{Dirty Rap}}per Music/AndrewE is well-known among Filipinos who grew up in the 2000s. Shin-chan [[VocalDissonance voiced by an adult man]] could have been WTHCastingAgency but it worked so well that a lot of Filipinos who grew up watching the dub consider it {{SugarWiki/super|lativeDubbing}}ior over the original Japanese, not only because of the voice acting but also because of the CulturalTranslation and AlternativeForeignThemeSong.

* ToyShip: Shin/Kazama is pretty popular among YaoiFangirls

* CommonKnowledge: The anime did not end because of the death of Yoshito Usui. He just so happened to die when the show was already scheduled for a three-week hiatus to show other programming in it's timeslot, which was scheduled months in advance. The October 23rd date most people give in regards to the show's "renewal" was actually the debut of it's 11th opening theme, Happy Happy by BECKY.

* UncannyValley: Mitzi's face can take on quite a bizarre appearance when she gets angry, especially if there's an ArtShift to the less refined style, resulting in her face looking VERY thin and skull-like.

** "The Happiness Bunny's Revenge" takes the [[IncrediblyLamePun carrot-cake]] in this series. No matter how much Nene/Penny tries to throw it away, The Happiness Bunny will always find a way to return.

* FandomRivalry: In Spain, the franchise has a huge rivalry against Manga/Doraemon fans, to the point that is pretty common to debate on Twitter which series is superior.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The American version done by Creator/FUNimation is a GagDub with darker and even raunchier humor that exceeds what's in the original show that aired on Creator/AdultSwim, specially for an adult audience. Originally, the second English dub for the series was pitched to Adult Swim but got rejected by being more kid-friendly.

* ValuesDissonance:
** If you're a wife, do you think it's okay to beat up your husband if you think he flirts with other women? Similar to ''Manga/LoveHina'', the manga[=/=]anime plays physical abuse towards husbands, accusations of flirting, and theft of women's stuff all for laughs, things that people and the law in the west will not tolerate anymore.
** While Shin is definitely a troublemaker, Misae/Mitzi constantly hitting him as punishment can still make her come off as an AbusiveParent to western audiences. In Japan, however, hitting children is actually a common form of discipline, so long as there's a justified reason for it. The Vitello dub softens Mitzi's discipline to where she gives Shin 'noogies' instead of hitting him.

** Several countries {{bowdlerise}} the show specifically to make it more appropriate for kids by their country's standards, including Korea and India. [=NTV7=] Malaysia airs the show for kids, but censors genitalia, though Mandarin versions that air there aren't as censored for some reason. Due to rather strict TV censorship in Indonesia, their version of ''Shin-chan'' gets some of the most censorship: almost all scenes involving Shin-chan showing his butt, genitalia, or other "suggestive content" are censored since it usually airs on Sunday morning, a time when lots of anime and cartoons are aired simultaneously and consecutively.

** There is one episode about Kazama being trapped in a separate space and time pocket within his apartment. After many times wandering around and seeing mirages of Shinchan until he almost lose his sanity, fortunately everything goes back to normal and Kazama reaches the seventh floor where Kazama residence takes place. What makes this scary is that this happens not because of Kazama's bad deeds, but it's simply a result of Kazama being careless by [|spoiler:following a mirage of Shinnosuke (while knowing that the real Shinnosuke is still on a school bus) and entering a "ghost elevator" that is not supposed to exist]].

** The original manga has some touching stuff that the anime has to tone down for comedy's sake. Miss Ume's relationship with Doctor Tokuro, to mention something... [[spoiler:when he dies due to a terrorists' attack in his hotel when he was in South America. You have Miss Ume, who was unlucky with men, finding a stable relationship with Tokuro, that was transformed in a long-distance relationship not so much before his death. She even fell into depression with ''suicidal'' thoughts because of his fate. The anime leaves it at least in a bittersweet note before he was PutOnABus]].

* AmericansHateTingle: The anime and manga series are ''beloved'' in Spain and other European countries, its native Japan, and most of Asia in general. However, reception in parts of Europe and North America have been mixed-to-negative, with the crude art style and equally crude humor turning off a lot of people. Even worse by having been around since [[LongRunner 1990]].
