1. What is it?
a) Take 1 hyperactive 5-year-old boy, who's great at getting into trouble, offending people and generally having a good time doing all this, while not being visibly evil.
b) Name him Shinnosuke Nohara
c) make an extremely funny anime series with him as the main character.
2. Animation
First thing you notice about thi anime is the chara-design, which is... um... er... ugly. Still, in this particular case it is a good thing, as it fits the characters and the story, actually. Well... Mainly the characters. Still, the animation quality is good.
3. Sound
It's ok - I particullary liked the theme used in the car chase sequence. The voice acting is pretty neat too.
4. Characters ... and 5. Value and 6. Enjoyment as well...
Shin is great. 'nuff said (the character. well, the movie too, but that's not the point).
AND you get two cool villans, which... oh, darn it, I'll be blunt: they're a totall rip-off of those old Bond movies with villans trying to take over the world 'n stuff. So is the whole movie. It's cool, it's nostalgic and it's done in a way that'll leave you giggling hellplesly on the ground.
