The mischief-maker of Kasukabe is back on your screens with a fresh wave of action, comedy, and nostalgia. Sony YAY! is all set to turn weekends into a joyride for kids and anime lovers alike as it rolls out an exciting slate of Shinchan movie premieres throughout May, promising belly laughs, epic adventures, and First Time on Indian Television titles.
According to a press note from Sony YAY!, fans can tune in every Saturday and Sunday at 11am to catch a new Shinchan movie, each packed with hilarious antics, heartfelt moments, and larger-than-life scenarios that only Shinchan and his gang can pull off. From epic battles to undercover spy missions and even a robotic dad, this lineup has something for everyone — whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for a fun weekend escape.
The movie bonanza kicks off on May 10 with ‘Shinchan Movie: Burst! Hot Spring Battle’!, where a relaxing trip to the hot springs quickly turns into chaos, overflowing with laughter and adventure. On May 11, viewers can enjoy ‘The Adult Empire Strikes Back’, a fan-favourite where Shinchan leads a wild rebellion in a world dominated by adults. The following weekend takes a historical twist with ‘The Battle of the Warring States’ airing on May 17, plunging Shinchan into the heart of ancient Japan for some samurai silliness.
The madness continues on May 18 with ‘The Kasukabe Animal Kingdom’, turning the city into a jungle playground where Shinchan’s survival skills — or lack thereof — take centre stage. A much-loved spy thriller makes its Sony YAY! debut on May 24 with ‘The Spy’, bringing in a mix of gadgets, giggles, and digital-age mayhem. Wrapping up the month on May 25 is ‘Robot Dad’, a heartwarming tale where Shinchan’s father Hiroshi becomes a robot, sparking a chain of funny and emotional moments in the Nohara household.
The channel, which has consistently built a strong bond with younger audiences through its iconic characters and light-hearted storytelling, is positioning this May as a tribute to Shinchan fans across India. The programming not only aims to entertain but also revive the magic of classic anime storytelling that continues to charm viewers of all ages.
So, whether you’re reliving childhood memories or introducing Shinchan to a new generation, make sure your weekends are free because Sony YAY! has your dose of fun ready, every Saturday and Sunday at 11am.
