Greetings, Funimation.

**For your kind consideration**

I have been a HUGE fan of Shin Chan since episode one, and I just want to share a quick nugget about myself. I am one dedicated fan. The kind of guy who said, "Well, Weezer (the Green Album) is good, if you like Weezer." And I stand by that brand of loyalty today. So, needless to say I bought Shin Chan sea. 3 pt. 1 'sight unseen'. And as long as you're dubbing it, I plan to keep buying. However, as a super happy fun time loyal fan I must be candid in my review. So here goes. Cons - What's up with all the generally GRATUATIOUS perverstion and psychotic killer tendancy in almost every episode? Who decided that the core characters of the show, Shin, Georgie, Maso, Boo, and Penny should take a total back seat to so many random 'extras' who all seem to share the same sexually deviant or homicidal personality.. Its like Miss Polly took extra strength nympho pills, and over 2 years managed to infect 3/4 of the entire cast. Even Mitzi to an extent has traded her ball-busting cynicism that I've grown to love for wonton tripe. Seriously, so far, the series is playing out more like Mystery Science Theater 3000, where a small group of wiseguys are merely improvising adolescent quips over a classic piece of Japanese family sitcom. Also, who thought it was a good idea to turn Nanako into a gold-digging star-fucker? Or, that Penny's father's abuse holds some newfound sentimental value to her?? It was hard enough to watch some of the Penny-based episodes of season 1, and 2, but those in season 3 are boarderline unwatchable. I understand that there's no chance of this show ending up on TV in season 3, but that's no excuse to compromise quality family satire for shock's sake.. just cause you can. You have a responsibility to those of us who first fell in love with the high caliber whitty comedy of Shin, his family, friends, and the quirky, but (what's the antonym for perversely obnoxious) citizens of Kaskube.. Whew.. Thanks for listening. On the pros side, there are still plenty of LOL moments that give me hope for future installments. But, please give us some more Shin, Georgie, Maso, Boo, and Pennie. Mister K, Principal Ench, Yonro, and Action Bastard!! Thank you, SO MUCH for your time, and efforts to bring unique entertainment to the United States.

Super Shin Fan,
