1st Logo

(2002-2003)

Logo: After we transition from the TV Asahi logo via Shin-Chan Nohara snapping his fingers, we cut to a purple background with bubbles, we see the blurry words "SHIN-EI ANIMATION". Once Shin-Chan leaves the screen, "SHIN-EI" moves above the words "ANIMATION". While the words are moving a red "A" with a smiley face and right hand zooms out to the screen, causing the bubbles to disappear, and the words to become more clear.

FX/SFX: The transition, the words, and the red "A" zooming out.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on the Vitello dub of Crayon Shin-Chan.

Editor's Note: None.
