Koni-chan]]'' is anime television series, which premiered in Japan on Animax between November 26, 2000 and May 29, 2001. animated by Shaft and produced by Animax and Genco. It's directed by [[Shinichi Watanabe]]. [[Never Accepted in His Hometown\|Practically unnoticed on its country of origin]], [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff\|the series was a hit in Latin America]], especially in [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff\|Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Argentina.]] The reason behind this is most likely due to its outstanding [[Cultural Translation\|localized]] [[Woolseyism\|translation]] <ref> to give an example of localization, on one chapter they sing [[The Something Song\|The Ketchup Song]][~~http~~https://web.archive.org/web/20170311012711/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ketchup_Song\]</ref> , which can be easily compared to what American Dubbers [[Cultural Translation\|did with]] [[Samurai Pizza Cats]]. Being just an obscure Gag Series in Japan, the [[~~Lat~~Latin AmAmerica]]n dub turned into a cult-classic and is more generally appreciated by fans. Just to help contrast, there is more information on the Spanish version of [[The Other Wiki]] about ''[[Koni Chan]]'' than the English and Japanese wiki combined. The story involves Koni and his gang having lots of crazy and incoherent adventures in their equally crazy world. It's really a [[Widget Series]], with [[No Fourth Wall]], and lots of [[Lampshade Hanging]] and [[Parodied Trope\|Parodies of tropes]]. Just to give the viewer an idea, the aforementioned adventures the protagonist have could range from fighting with their 'Lovely-Teacher' and dealing with Samurai fish, to kicking a can and driving a taxi, to confirming if 'The Armored-Guy's' wife has an affair and saving the world. Line 21: ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== The series provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Moro * [[Baseball Episode]] Line 59: * [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] === The ~~LatinAmerican~~[[Latin America]]n Dub provides examples of: === * [[Black Comedy Rape]]: In the "Chinese tale" episode, Emi comments that monsters might kidnap her and forcefully plug in their VHRs , DVDs, [[PlayStation~~\|Playstations~~]]s and [[Nintendo~~\|Nintendos~~]]s, [[Don't Explain the Joke\|which can be considered rape since Emi is robot-girl]]. After saying this, Moro and Nari replays since there is nothing she can do about it, she should just relax and enjoy it. * [[Cultural Translation]]: Since the series is full of Japanese puns, a literally translation would have been pretty unsuccessful. The LAm dub replaced many hard to translate puns with allusions to Latin-American pop culture. It worked brilliantly. * [[Dub Name Change]]: The Armored-guy is refered to as ''"El Tal Iván"'' (lit: ''"That guy called Ivan"''). [[Punny Name\|This is a pun]], since ''"El Tal Iván"'' sounds exactly like ''"El Talibán"'', [[Captain Obvious\|which means]] ''[[Captain Obvious\|"The Taliban"]]''. ([[Western Terrorists\|since, you know, he is the bad guy and all]]) Line 74: * [[Parental Bonus]]: Many of the [[Shout-Out\|Shout Outs]] are things kids are not likely to understand (like the fact that Nari's balls-obsession is a metaphor of homosexuality), recognize (like the He-man reference) or a lot of [[Double Entendre\|sexual things]]. * [[Shout-Out]]: Again, many of them. To many [[~~Lat~~Latin AmAmerica]]n songs. * ''"Allá en la fuente, habia un chorrito"'' * ''"Muévelo, muévelo (qué sabroso) muévelo, muévelo (cómo lo hace)"'' Line 86: When they sing ''"A patear el bote"'' sounds like the rhythm of ''"A mover el culo"''. Have in mind ''"bote"'' is an Euphemism for ''"ass"''. * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt2XVy7R0WE&feature=player_detailpage#t=12s This song] about a toy store, is [[Suspiciously Similar Song\|suspicioulsy similar]] to the jingle of real mexican toy company. The [[Super Sentai]] episode was changed in name to ''Koni Rangers'', since [[Power Rangers]] is better-known in [[~~Lat~~Latin AmAmerica]]. Moro says she would rather be watching [[Pokémon (anime)\|Pokémon]] than being on a episode. In the [[Dragon Quest]] episode, after seeing the sword, High says ''"[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe\|for the power of Greyskull!]]"'' Line 98: The grasshoppers (''"Grillos"'') band [[The Beatles\|"Los Grittles"]]. High [[Lampshade Hanging\|lampshades]] this. Koni is said to be better than the [[Atomic Ant]], and he replies that he actually played in the [[Backstreet Boys\|"Bascas-boys"]]. More threatens to go and start working in ''"Chapa y ~~1/2~~½"'', a clear reference to ''"[[Ranma ½\|Ranma y ~~1/2~~½]]"'' The chapter in which Koni appears staring mangas has many, some of them which were changed in [[~~Lat~~Latin AmAmerica]] due to being too obscure * Dragon Ball Koni is even named "Dragon Ball Z" by hide. * The football manga which appears (based on [[Captain Tsubasa]]) is called "Los super koni-campeones", where as [[Captain Tsubasa]] J is called "los super campeones" (super champions) in [[~~Lat~~Latin AmAmerica]]. * The tribute to [[Love Hina]] (called Love Koni) was changed to [[Sailor Moon\|Sailor Emi]]. * Koni cards is a clear tribute to [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]. The other cards called "Garbash y Rascauele" is a tribute to "Magic the gathering". * There is a tribute to Detective Conan. * [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Besides the [[Double Entendre]] examples above, there are a lot of words referred to in a weird way, by very unusual euphismis. [[Just for Fun\|This is because they sound funnier that way, and allow to use different puns]]. {{reflist}} [[Category:Anime]] [[Category:~~Dotto!
