japanese cartoon characters

I just realized that within a span of 2-3 mnths i know the names of most of the japanese cartoon characters which come on Hungama channel and Pogo channel thnx to my little one ..

the most famous of thm all is i guess ‘Doraemon ” – the cat . then there is Nobita, Shizuka,Dorami,Korusuke , Miyuka , Sunio, Gutan Borilla ,Jyian,  Togari,Hagemaru , Okarumaru , Asarichan , Shin-chan ,  and all the rest

Shin chan is one of most popular Japanese cartoon series across the world. Its Hindi version  is aired on a popular kiddie channel, Hungama TV. Though Shin Chan may appear to be just another regular kindergarten going child but dont they often say that looks can be very deceptive.

Shin Chan often uses fairly impolite language, argues with his mother practically on all occasions, misbehaves at school with his teachers and friends . all of this obviously shown with the excuse of simple ignorance of correct behavior due to his very young age.

Just juxtaposing all this with the comics and cartoons that we grew up with

first there was the legion of superheroes from DC comics — the foremost among them undoubtedly – Superman ,,, ( with also supergirl, superboy, lois lane, lana lang)then Batman ( robin , batwoman, batgirl , catgirl ) , Green Lantern , Captain America , Wonderwoman,the Flash,Green Arrow, Captain Marvel, the JUstice League

then there is marvel comics with  Spiderman, Fantastic Four, Iron Man , The Hulk,X-men, Wolverine

other than that we had Zorro – the masked legend , the Phantom – the ghost who walks, Richie rich , casper – the friendly ghost ,

the Archie andrews gang — archie , betty , veronica , jughead , ethel, reggie, dilton , moose , midge - josie and the  pussycats , sabrina  – the teen witch

then the indian comics — indrajal comics with   phantom ,   mandrake and lothar , flash gordon , bahadur
