Shin-chan the potty-mouth?
If you have kids in Japan, then you'll definitely know the antics of Crayon Shin-chan, an anime character with a sassy mouth and a tendency towards disrespecting his parents. But it's usually innocent enough and quite amusing. So much so that Spain was one of the first to adopt Shin-chan and L-O-V-E love him (and they did quite a good job with the dub, I might add). Recently I had the chance to catch the American dubbed version of Shin-chan and was more than a little surprised.
Shin-chan originally went to America in 1994. But with so many censor issues it didn't have quite the same impact or popularity. It wasn't the first anime to be hacked and slashed by the American censors and definitely won't be the last. In 2006, FUNimation acquired the licensing and decided to make an edit-free, extremely adult-content version for adults. Can you imagine Shin-chan and his friends making sexual jokes and swearing like sailors? It's not quite right, is it? See for yourself:
