Director Masaaki Yuasa and his Science SARU studio announced on Sunday that they are producing an anime spinoff of the Crayon Shin-chan franchise titled Super Shiro.
The 27th film, Eiga Crayon Shin-chan Shinkon Ryokō Hurricane ~Ushinawareta Hiroshi~ (Crayon Shin-chan the Movie: Honeymoon Hurricane, Lost Hiroshi), will open in Japan on April 19.
Yuasa (DEVILMAN crybaby, Lu over the wall, Night is Short, Walk On Girl, Kaiba, Ping Pong) has worked as a storyboarder and setting designer on many film entries in the Crayon Shin-chan anime series, most recently on the 2015 film Eiga Crayon Shin-chan: Ora no Hikkoshi Monogatari ~Saboten Daishūgeki.
TV Asahi has been airing the Crayon Shin-chan anime based on the late Yoshito Usui’s manga of the same name since 1992.
