    Great Movie

    If you want a movie that truly shows the that the good old days weren't always good, this is it. At around the 1:00:00 to 1:03:00 mark this is probably the best 3 minutes of cinema I have ever seen. This movie has a simple message, live for today. It has enough humor to keep the kids entertained and has a pretty good message to keep the adults engaged without being too preachy.

    I don't understand people that can't get into Shinchan, I truly believe the writers and the creator really created a gem here. What do the Simpsons, Family Guy and Shinchan have in common you ask? They all point out things in society that people take too seriously or make fun or point out what society in general has become and do so in a humorous way

    Kureyon Shinchan

    I saw this movie "Kureyon-Shinchan Arashi-Wo-Yobu! Moretsu ! Otona Teikoku no Gyakushu" 7 years ago. My first impression of this movie was that nostalgia is not always good.Wrong nostalgia is not nostalgia , but an escape from realities. And I felt that time cannot return and we must not be about to do it. The best scene I think is ... Shinnosuke calls back Hiroshi in the 20th century when Hiroshi starts to return the 21st century from the 20th century. Shinnosuke constantly says "You are my father! Let's go back with me!". And Shinnosuke makes him smell his shoe and says "Can you notice me?". Hiroshi says "...Yes..." with tears. This scene gave me goose flesh.So I want you to see this movie .
