Japanese toddler shows?

Now when I watch it, I understand it all (which is super encouraging) and I feel this is a good show for beginners to watch.

Yeah I watched a couple of minutes it after I posted that link, since as I mentioned I’ve only haerd of the series… (I reckon it’s original english version is also popular? I’ve only heard of it in the Japanese learning community).
I was like so this is what 99.9% comprehension sounds like… lol
First time I’ve experienced that since I usually just listen to regular stuff off of netflix, youtube or podcasts and I’m only (according to morphman at least) around 80-90% comprehension on most of those.

Right, that’s why they said it’s not what they’re looking for…

Oh, right. I somehow missed the “not” in that sentence…

^{That’s okay lol}

@ekg

How about Crayon Shin-chan ? I know there are a lot of mixed opinions on it, and I haven’t watched it myself, but that’s a children’s show still isn’t it?

Also, if you don’t mind older anime, there is of course Doraemon , which it’s near infinite number of episodes to watch.

And Anpanman (アンパンマン) of course. It’s pretty popular so it should be a pretty decent choice for a kids show to give a try, if you haven’t already.

I’ve only heard of Doraemon out of those three, so thank you for all the suggestions! I’ll give them a look! ^0^

I find Sesame Street pretty easy to understand even if you don’t understand much Japanese. Another fun and simple video series for absolute beginners is PuniPuniJapan.

I see! I’ll give it a shot then! And I’ll check out PuniPuni, thank you!

See also Paw Patrol (who gives a child control of the entire emergency services department of a small town?! Also, why can the dogs talk, but the cats not?)

Not sure if this was a suggestion or just saying it’s like Peppa Pig where it really gets on your nerves, but thanks anyway haha. My little sister watches Paw Patrol a lot too so maybe I should check it out in Japanese and see what’s so good about it lol. (Also that’s a fair point haha. Where were the cats when these animals were learning to talk?!)

@kelitt

I don’t know what its target demographic is, but I remember seeing bono bono on crunchyroll. Its episodes are about 5 minutes long and the content seems to be pretty simple (not sure about the grammar though).

I’ll have a look at it and see if it’s good for my level. Thank you!

@Joeni

Completely off topic, but parents have to commiserate; it really is the worst, isn’t it? Pepper is a self entitled little so and so, haha. It’s a shame that my son likes to watch it so much

And on a completely different note, yeah couldn’t agree more lol.
