Interregnum
The review of the decade is on hold for a bit as I’m suffering from vertigo.

HATE FUN 2001! Akubi-chan
Second Suzuka Yoshida designed show of the year (she also designed Vampiyan Kids). This one is an updating of her father’s Hakushon Daimaou creation. Yoshida is a great artist, and it’s a shame there aren’t more shows boasting her designs.

HATE FUN 2001! Kasumin
Young girl goes to stay with monsters while her parents are out of town in this kids show for NHK. Various Shin-chan alumni were involved, including Masaaki Yuasa who did set design for the show. There is an English version, “Mistin”, but where it got aired I’m unclear on.
