“Children love dinosaurs, robots, aliens, idol singers and yokai monsters,” commented director Akira Shigino. “Will the yokai-packed O-O-O-NO SHINNOSUKE be really popular with kids? I’m both a little nervous and a little relaxed. Shin-chan appears as a yokai and uses their battle techniques. His dignified figure is different from usual. Shin-chan is a lonely yokai looking for his mother. He meets a girl. She tells him her dreams. Their thoughts intersect in the port town.” “He’s a yokai, everyone. Shinnosuke becomes a yokai in Season 4,” commented series showrunner Wataru Takahashi. “Even though he’s just a kindergartner who can call up storms, he’s still a yokai. It’s scary. And funny. In a peaceful port town. Strange things happen all the time. Everyday there’s something surprising. Shinnosuke arrives looking for his mother and meets Fumie, a girl who loves money. They form a tag team to solve the case. How? I can’t reveal that here. Only Prime members can find out. So, go get Prime!” Amazon Prime members can currently watch every episode from all three CRAYON SHIN-CHAN SPINOFF series. In Season 1, ALIEN VS. SHINNOSUKE (????????? ???????vs.?????, Kureyon Shinchan Gaiden Eirian vs. Shinnosuke, 2016), Shin-chan encountered an alien in a drifting spaceship in his first locked-room thriller. In Season 2, TOY WARS (??????????? ????????, Kureyon Shinchan Gaiden Omocha Uoozu, 2016), Shinnosuke joins the Kasukabe Defense Force to fight toys that came to life burning for revenge against the humans who discarded them. In Season 3, LONE WOLF AND FAMILY (??????????? ?????, Kureyon Shinchan Gaiden Kazokuzure Ookami, 2017), Hiroshinosuke takes his family on a journey to spread the Nohara style of butt-swordplay. Each series can also be enjoyed as a 91-minute theatrical version (seven-minute x 13 episodes). ? CRAYON SHIN-CHAN: O-O-O-NO SHINNOSUKE Synopsis A small country town.
