Shōjo manga Chibi Maruko-chan (and its anime series) isn’t as much of a childhood staple around this part of the world as Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chan are, but anyone who’s seen or read it would agree that it can get pretty trippy – as children’s manga and anime are wont to be. Nothing exemplifies this more than this clip Indonesian meme aggregator/archives Semiotika adiluhung 1945 discovered; an episode of Chibi Maruko-chan where its titular character’s classmate espouses his love for dangdut, specifically, Campur DKI’s genre mashup ‘Dangdut Reggae’ (1990).
