The original Crayon Shin-chan television anime debuted in 1992. The latest movie in the franchise, Chou Karei! Shakunetsu no Kasukabe Dancers, is scheduled to open in Japan on August 8 this year.
Synopsis
This series follows Hiroshi Nohara’s ultimate lunchtime philosophy, as he carefully selects and enjoys his midday meals within the constraints of a limited budget and break time.
But it’s not just about savoring food—Hiroshi delves into cooking trivia, preparation methods, and the everyday dilemmas of a salaryman. From debating whether to treat his juniors to lunch, to finding quick meals between sales meetings, and even venting about his boss, the series is packed with relatable moments for working professionals.
