Crayon Shin-chan [Season 1 Episode 63]

Episode 63 of Crayon Shin-chan: A Hilarious Dive into Shin-chan’s Mischief

If you’ve ever wondered what chaos looks like when a five-year-old is left to his own devices, Crayon Shin-chan’s Episode 63 is a perfect example. This episode, titled The Upside of Prison Showers (in the Funimation dub), is a rollercoaster of laughter, mischief, and the kind of antics only Shin-chan can pull off.

The Plot: Classic Shin-chan Shenanigans

The episode kicks off with Shin-chan interrupting Matsuzaka and her boyfriend’s romantic moment—because, of course, he would. His timing is impeccable, and his lack of filter makes the situation even more awkward (and hilarious). Matsuzaka, clearly exasperated, drags Shin-chan along with her, leading to a series of events that only escalate from there.

Meanwhile, Hiroshi (Shin-chan’s dad) decides to train his son for a kids’ sumo wrestling match. If you’ve ever seen Shin-chan “train” for anything, you know it’s bound to end in disaster. And true to form, he manages to drop a washed clothes rack on the ground, earning Hiroshi a beating from Misae (Shin-chan’s mom). The episode is a perfect blend of Shin-chan’s signature brand of chaos—unpredictable, absurd, and endlessly entertaining.

Why Fans Love This Episode

From the discussions I’ve seen online, fans adore this episode for its pure, unfiltered Shin-chan energy. Here’s what stands out:
1. Shin-chan’s Interruptions: There’s something universally funny about a kid ruining a romantic moment, and Shin-chan does it with zero remorse. Fans on MyAnimeList pointed out how his bluntness adds to the humor—no sugarcoating, just pure chaos.
2. Hiroshi’s Pain: Hiroshi’s attempts to be a responsible dad often backfire, and this episode is no exception. The scene where he gets scolded for Shin-chan’s mess is a fan favorite because it’s so relatable—parents everywhere know the struggle.
3. The Absurdity: The title The Upside of Prison Showers (from the dub) alone is enough to make you laugh. Shin-chan’s antics are so over-the-top that you can’t help but chuckle, even when you know exactly what’s coming.

The Dub vs. Sub Debate

One thing that came up in fan discussions is the struggle to find all episodes of Crayon Shin-chan in English. Some fans lamented how scattered the episodes are online, with no centralized place to watch them all. A few even shared links to sites like Animevibe, though others quickly pointed out that not all episodes play properly. It’s a reminder of how hard it can be to track down older anime, especially ones with inconsistent dubs.

Final Thoughts: Why This Episode Works

Crayon Shin-chan isn’t just a kids’ show—it’s a comedy that thrives on Shin-chan’s ability to say and do the most outrageous things. Episode 63 is a perfect snapshot of why the series has lasted so long. It’s silly, it’s relatable, and it never takes itself too seriously.

If you’re new to Shin-chan, this episode is a great introduction to his world. And if you’re a longtime fan, it’s a nostalgic reminder of why we love this little troublemaker. So, grab some popcorn, ignore the mess Shin-chan leaves behind, and enjoy the ride!
