Yeah whaddya mean bad? Ultra Relax always makes me get up and shake my booty! The long version of this song is good too, and the remixes are really awesome.

TOKIO did the original "7 o'clock news" song. The also did another screamingly fun song called "Minna de Wahaha!". Does anyone know if that song was in Kodomo no Omocha anywheres?

Nice that this thread got to be about the show finally. Nice choice for "second favorite anime!"

The TOKIO song in question isn't on the soundtracks IIRC.

WHAT is this PICKING on Shinorer all about! I won't have any of that, thanks. "Ultra Relax" is awesome - the crazy banjo loops alone are worth gold. And I like the weird Easter Island thing in the sequence.

Aah, why don't they make shows like this anymore?

I bought the entire Tokyopop Kodocha manga series (10 volumes). It's also good and I like it, but nothing (I mean 'nothing') compares to the crazyness that is Kodocha anime!

Even Excel Saga seems tame to compare.

Anyway, for me Ultra Relax is a really good OP video. Those chibi characters just dancing around, it's very unique for an anime OP.

Gold_Rogers · 2004-04-04, 00:21

Ultra Relax...that's one funny OP song, and the video that goes along with it is super funny as well. Although I think I like the 7 'o Clock News OP slightly better (there was an Evangelion version of it floating around a long time ago that was particularly funny).

Sorry b-man, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou edges out Kodocha on my list since the manga is an amazing masterpiece, and the anime brings it to life. (Plus my first and only cels I ever bought are 3 absolutely fabu pieces from the first OVA.)

Kodomo no Omocha beats out all other anime in terms of humor and drama. One of the most memorable moments in my anime watching hobby was when

Spoiler:

I remember exactly where I was, and whispering "Holy GAWD !!! " before hurrying to find the next ep.

This is an incredibly compelling anime... except for the simply awful New York arc but I try to forget that happened.

Was ist das "Shinorer"?

it's not out yet (the DVD version).

Gold_Rogers · 2004-04-08, 12:55

I don't think there is anything wrong with more than one group subbing any particular series. From a translator's viewpoint, it's very difficult to translate something you have no interest in. Unless of course, you are paid to do so

The fansubbing process is grueling enough even if one IS interested in a series (or whatever material is being subbed), so I don't think groups should "spread out" their work or something like that. Besides, it's always nice to see a little competition (constructive and healthy that is). Of course, with projects like Kodocha it'd be nice if, instead of forming a new group, people interested could help out KTP and get involved that way. I'm sure KTP already has a wealth of resources concerning Kodocha, and with old series like this it's hard to get multiple groups working consistently on it anyway, so consolidating might be more efficient and also more pleasurable to work with. Just my $0.02

Funimation has licensed Kodomo no Omocha (aka Kodocha, aka Child's Toy).

From www.animeondvd.com

Funimation (Saturday, April 10th, 2004 @ 03:42 PM EST): Funimation will be releasing the Blue Gender movie, The Warrior on July 20. On August 24, the first DVD from Detective Conan (Case Closed ;

. A YuYuHakushou boxset will be coming out in late July that holds the first six volumes of the Dark Tournament Saga. Then Lance announced Kodocha to much cheering!

Kodocha (Saturday, April 10th, 2004 @ 03:45 PM EST): It will be coming out in Spring/Summer 2005

Fronzel · 2004-04-10, 15:32

As promised, they personify love.

Hisoka Hajime · 2004-04-10, 15:43

I couldn't be more happy.

jennwenn · 2004-04-10, 15:44

NO WAY! Its the end of the world as we know it! Kodocha has been licesned! Their treatment of Fruit Basket was great.

YAAAAAAAY! (And double-yay for it not being 4Kids.)

bluemist · 2004-04-10, 15:51

I never thought I'd see the day...

That was the only series Funi did that for and I don't see them doing that again. It wasn't profitable for them. That's why their new releases are 3 ep per disc spread across 8 discs.

BanditKing · 2004-04-10, 15:59

now that I think about it

3 ep per disc = exactly 34 disc(not a good thing)

Spooky-Electric · 2004-04-10, 16:08

Yeah, if FUNI releases this 3 eps per disc there's no way in hell I'm buying it.

It has to be at least 4 (but only because I love Kodocha), and even then I would prefer at least 5.

lobotomoy · 2004-04-10, 16:09

Yeah, and they said they licensed One Piece too, which turned out to be totally false.

Sakaki · 2004-04-10, 17:44

I only have one thing to say about this...

Yehaaaaaaaaa....

RobotCarnival · 2004-04-10, 18:09

Owo. This news took me by surprise. I expected Kodomo no Omocha to remain one of those great series that never gets the US release it so richly deserves, but here it (apparently) is! Normaly I'd be a little bummed out, but the fansubs have been coming out slowly (or not at all... still not sure what's up with Kodocha) for awhile now, and I thought I'd never get a chance to see the rest of the series.

I have Animation Runner Kuromi on DVD and thought it was awesome, and it's success no doubt helped this series get licensed. The beautiful twist there is that watching Kodomo no Omocha is what got me to check out Kuromi, proving that fansubs do get people to buy anime, and buying anime does encourage companies to license more great series. Huzzah!

Tough to have it at three episodes per DVD though; for a 100+ ep. series I'd much rather see it come out in boxed set(s).

Edgewalker · 2004-04-10, 18:41

right in the middle of when I was downloading it .

It would be nice if we could keep torrents up until they actually release the show . Its great when something comes to the US . Its lame when they make us wait until a year and a half or so before we know if they actually did put the plan into action .

for all we know they have screwed up again . I have always doubted kodoma would ever be brought to the US and untill I see it on the shelves I still wont believe it .
