We explain the method to see the more than 800 episodes of Shin-Chan in Spanish. Sinnosuke Nohara’s iconic series was a hit in Spain.
Shin-Chan is one of the most important manganime of all time in Japan, a character that is part of the Japanese culture, such as Doraemon or Sazae-San. For different reasons, its depth in Spain was superlative compared to other western territories; something clicked in the regional channels as of 2001, when Luk Internacional gave the starting signal to a character much loved in our country. Today we tell you how to watch the series online and in Spanish in the middle of 2021.

A bit of history, how did it all start with Shin-chan?
Shin-Chan’s anime does not begin until 1992 in Japan, a reflection of Japan in the late eighties, nineties and 2000s. A comedy mistakenly considered a series for children where all kinds of satires appear on the stereotypes of the working class society; although all social strata are represented. Shinnosuke Noara is the main protagonist of this succession of chapters where the plot progresses very slowly, almost in a self-concluding way, but not entirely. In fact, there is a succession of fundamental events in the life of the Nohara, from the arrival of Nevado, their faithful dog, to Himawari, his sister, or the change of address.
Costumbrismo, moments of tenderness, moments of despair and endless anecdotes that perfectly reflect the cultural heterogeneity that surrounds us. For intangible reasons, Shin-Chan reached the autonomous television networks of Spain between 2001 and 2002; and he did it in a country like ours, marked by its lexical richness in dialects and languages. And so, the bet was total; Shin-Chan spoke in Catalan, Basque, Galician and Spanish. There was a common denominator: it was a huge success.

It was not until December 2005, after a whopping 373 episodes had been broadcast, when a national giant like Antena 3 (now Atresmedia) took over the broadcasting rights and combined the premieres of the new seasons with its satellite channel dedicated to entertainment, NEOX. , until June 2018. 13 years of uninterrupted broadcasts with a success recognized by the chain itself.
In an interval of several months of emptiness, Luk Internacional took some seasons to YouTube, so that the broadcast of some seasons was made public and free. But in June 2019 the entire broadcast of Shin-Chan materializes on FOX, a private chain, which had been awarded the license months before. And this is how we get to the present moment, because Shin-chan’s house is, today, FOX.
Where can I tune in to FOX Spain?
FOX and FOX Life are private channels only available through the platforms of the main payment operators in Spain: Movistar +, Vodafone, Orange, Euskaltel, Telecable and R. It is currently the only way to see Shin Chan in full. All these platforms are multi-device: TV decoder, Smart TV, mobile, tablet, Fire TV Stick, Chromecast, computer …
Shin Chan on FOX Spain; also some episodes on YouTube
Shin-Chan has the broadcast of the first 25 seasons in Spain, which corresponds to the period from 1992 to 2016. There were never pauses, not even when its original author, Yoshihito Usui, passed away in September 2009. In general, about 13 episodes are produced each year in Japan. There are currently more than 820 episodes on FOX completely in Spanish.
Since FOX began broadcasting Shin-Chan, all seasons have been scheduled; even one of the unpublished films in our country, Shin Chan in Mexico, the attack of the giant cactus.
Now, since January 2021, the broadcast schedule on FOX has changed and is established from Monday to Friday from 11:15 to 13:30, and on weekends from 08:55 to 11:40, always peninsular time in Spain . As it is a live channel, it is not possible to view the episodes on demand, unless it is later integrated into its deferred channel, Fox Now, in the future.
Some operators, such as Movistar +, have an option called U7D (Last Seven Days), which allows you to view on demand the content broadcast on the channels during the last seven days. It is, in a way, a way of not necessarily seeing the content at the time of broadcast, but when it suits us later. On the other hand, Shin Chan’s official YouTube channel has episodes 101 to 108 completely free, in Spanish and online.
