Children's shows in Japanese - strugglebunny - 2008-08-18
Anyone know where I can find any children's shows in Japanese? My listening comprehension is terrible, so children's TV might help me out. I can find streaming dramas, animes, and movies quiet easily, but I can't find anything basic. Everything I've seen in threads seems to put in the direction of dramas.

Perhaps some Doraemon?

I came to Japan really not wanting to like Doraemon or any of the other typical Japanese stuff, but Doraemon is so well-done that it changed my opinion. It's just a really solid children's show, legitimately. I have no idea why Speed Racer made its way over here while Doraemon never did. I think it has something to do with Felix the cat cornering the market on tool-using cat-driven childrens' television shows.

Thanks for the suggestion! Do you guys recommend watching with or without subtitles? I seem to always just focus on them instead of listening....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there's a series of books that teach English using Doraemon manga. In other words, they have translations and notes for every sentence in a Doraemon manga, J-E. I have several volumes of the Vietnamese-English books, that I assume were translated from J-E to V-E.
Anyways, great cache of sentences to SRS if you can find the books, plus you can watch the shows and see them in action.

Seems pretty cheap. Might end up ordering them.

Anyone know of anything in the line of a Japanese Sesame Street, Mr. Rodger's, Teletubbies, etc. type kid's educational shows? Something meant for really young children?

Doraemon is awesome. Whenever a TV application breaks down and I go into Japanese environment withdrawl, I turn on Doraemon and it settles me on. I love the voice of Doraemon too haha. Like kind of fat but not.

This sounds stupid, but Pokemon was pretty easy to understand and as I watched it when I was a kid, I at least remotely understood what was going on when I didn't get what was being said.

Just get Japanese Sesame Street. It's translated, and some extra parts are actually filmed in Japan with Japanese actors.

I totally second Kogepan. A great *great* show. You'll never look at milk the same way again.

Chi's Sweet Home is awesome. It looks totaly silly at first, but it is sooo deep!

Kogepan really was neat. Too bad I barely understood anything (had to rely on subtitles). My vocab must be really bad
