In their latest adventure, Japan’s beloved genius chimp Pan-kun travels to Kagawa Prefecture to eat some udon noodles. Suprisingly, he manages to eat the noodles with training chopsticks…

1. I hate the way that they add sound effects every time he moves.

2. Animal cruelty? They let him squirt hot soup over his own face.

3. I found it funny that one shop was no dogs allowed, but a chimp was OK.

Sound effects might be lame, but at least they didn’t go for the Chimpan News Network style fake talking…

I guess the hot soup in the face scene is yet again proof that this show would not go over well if aired in America. Animal rights people would definitely not be happy about that.

I was hoping that you’d also point out the fact that the floor seemed a bit wet in one of the restaurants prior to any soup-filling, indicating that there had actually been previous attempts in which Pan-kun dropped his soup.

WujouMao

thought the face he pulled with putting chili powder on his noodles was funny, but as you say, if he was told to do it, and its not his own thinking, that would be cruel. still, it was only a little bit of chili

would be banned in UK too.
