Well, that's a weirdly personal essay.

It's deeply uncomfortable for me to open up my trauma like this. But seeing how things have been lately, I feel like it's perhaps best for me to be uncomfortable, if it means I can help someone, even if it's just a little bit.

Crayon Shin-chan has been a part of my childhood, even thought it probably shouldn't. It was aired at 9 or 10pm, so it was clearly mean for adult. Even the humour is very adult oriented.

Most importantly, look past it's silly exterior, and you'll see a lot of very adult topics. And today, we talk about one of these topic: Toxic Nostalgia.

Crayon Shin-chan And Nostalgia | Video Essay

Accented Cinema - Episode 46 Crayon Shin-chan is a hugely popular series in the East, but for some reason, relatively unknown in the west. It's a natural fit for this channel. Yet, at the same time, this series has been extremely personal to me. It helped me through the most depressing period of my life. To talk about it, would mean I'd have to talk about myself, open myself up in uncomfortable ways. But... there is no better time to talk about this film than now. With so many people struggling in 2020, perhaps it is my turn to help you, just the way this film helped me many years ago. ------------------------------------------ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AccentedCinema Follow us on Social Media! https://www.facebook.com/AccentedCinema/ https://twitter.com/AccentedCinema
