ELLIOT’s MAIN CHANNEL HERE- I realised whilst editing this that the £20 came from a lamp my mum sold on my behalf. I shall use it to buy the sweetest of fruits.
Is amazing how different our childhood was haha Here in Spain, Shin-Chan was a really popular Anime, and most people from the 90's and 00's saw it. There are a few interesting games of it for Game Boy, all being a mix of minigames and platforming. Wish you give them a try in future videos
The Adult Swim one is a gag dub, not an accurate dub. Which I don't like because actual family-friendly English dub is lost media now. Don't see the reason why they did that as for a child's cartoon it's already pretty inappropriate as is even in the original Japanese version (I've read the manga and you can see his dad get a boner once, there is a pack of condoms somewhere on sight, etc...)
i know the u.s English dubs made the show mainly for adults but that still doesn't explain the animation🤣, i was always curious as to how this was a kids cartoon.
To give some context, Crayon Shin-chan isn't necessarily just for kids. It's actually meant for all ages, kids and adults alike, to enjoy in Japan. The series itself is about an adult world seen through the eyes of a naïve kindergartener who does nothing but cause trouble for everyone around him. Due to the vast amount cultural differences between Japan and the US, the show was completely rewritten and meant solely for adults in the US. The UK got dubs of the show that are much more faithful to the Japanese version. As for why the cassette player is designed that way is because it probably was not only meant for children, but I think they wanted to capture the show's feel as well, which I can say they accomplished.
I've said this before but if you need help with anything Japanese from the 80's and 90's let me know. I'm Japanese and grew up in Japan and lived there until 2002. I remember seeing this player in an advertisement in probably a Jump Manga or Gundam model catalog around then. Probably still have it.
Crayon Shinchan was a big hit in the early 2000s in Spain. It saddens me the British don't know about it. Anyway, that was a really cool walkman. I didn't really find it childish, thought.
There's a possibility it might have aired pretty late at night there maybe. In Poland it aired but pretty much only I knew about it because I had no bedtime and it aired at 11PM or so, most kids were asleep back then.
Same here in the US! Well, maybe not a mainstream hit... There was an odd period where Adult Swim had Shin-chan alongside its other comedy shows. I loved it, but I guess it wasn't as well-liked by AS's main audience, as they just stopped airing it. Then again, Funimation just stopped dubbing it altogether, which is a shame. It was hilarious!
if you want to search for it in japanese, it's クレヨンしんちゃんヘッドホンステレオ copy and paste that into google for tons of results also i would also love to see techmoan do a video on this. you guys should collab.
Haha! I immediately thought of Techmoan when I saw this cassette player and said to myself "this is the type of thing he'd do a video about." Great minds think alike!
@@ColasTeam Well, in general, American humor and localization teams can be quite disconnected from the vision of Japanese producers. The most legendary one I think of is the English dub of Ghost Stories. Those people gave zero shits for the tone they were setting.
I mean I would send it to Techmoan if I was you and get him to make a video on it aswell and give you a Shoutout hah then get him to send it back to you.
It's more like Toshiba KT-AS10, same form factor with more high end look, and functions(include a seperate radio cassette slot unit). And it's from 1984!
I think ya got the pronunciation right. Literally all I remember of Shinchan is the edited dub they used to air on Fox Kids UK, they LOVED using clips of it as commercial break filler.
Video plays perfectly with no audio loss in the UK.... and amazingly, that silly little 'toy' player has very good speed stability from what was played over the speaker, and from direct hook-up! Not bad at all!! Yeah... it'd be great to see Techmoan do a deep-dive into this cassette player... :-)
Shin chan is quite famous in Japan and also korea (I live here) And to be honest is kind of funny and he start doing his crazy stuff. 🤣 Love your videos man. Keep the coming please. 🤟
Also there is Hitachi CP88R, not only it cut side from long side of the cassette, but on the short side of the cassette as well like the one show in the video(althougth I think it's kind meanless)
Back it the 90's, there were a load of cheap personal stereos that were so cheap (about £9 in those days money) they didn't have a rewind button, or the spindle thingy to pull the tape backward. You had to take the cassette out of the player and flip it over and use FF to rewind it...
Lolol I just had to do a rewind. When you plugged it directly in it only plays audio out of the left side. I only had my right AirPod in so it was just silent and you were just smacking the table. Was like wtf is going on here xD died
Reminds me of the 1987 Sony D-88 - Smallest portable cd player/Discman. Where the device is smaller than and actual 12cm cd so it sticks out when playing. Like the tape does in this player.
It doesn't have a rewind function because the second spindle is not motorized and it can't pull the tape onto the other reel. It can only pull the tape in one direction.
There was a very similar high quality walkman this size - Hitachi CP-88R. It is about the same size as this toy and is otherwise the world's smallest cassette player (though it records too)
Crayon Shin-chan is awesome. 10-15 years ago a dubbed version aired in my country and it was a pretty rude anime with alot of sexual innuendos. But very funny.
You did get Shin Chan's name correct, but the player itself is based on a Toshiba KT-AS10 design from 1985. This is a tad bit smaller than the KT-AS10 but unlike this kids player the Toshiba model has way more features (with a price tag to boot even in it's day). I believe Toshiba made similar models as well (maybe as small as that), but by the 90's portable CD/MD players were becoming a thing even in Japan. In fact MD players really took of there.
Can you insert the tape the other way, fast forward it, then insert back the other way? Then you can rewind, but painfully slow if you can't find the spot.
cool, reminds me of the Sony Discman *D-88* (if you don't know what that is, you just have to look it up, it's really bizarre... OK, so it's not THAT bizarre, but it's interesting, to say the least)
I am a 13 year old Indian and a loved shinchan for some reason shin-chan is in india It's super hilarious I definitely recommend it If your not a Indian you can find it dubbed as well Pls watch it ^_^
