The 1973 anime is not lost

[edit]

Yes, I remember this series. I'm 18 by the way, and watched this when I was five or so on video tape.

Not all footage is lost, I believe. I still have a few recorded episodes with me at home, all of which are dubbed in Malay, and in my opinion this didn't deserve to get a low rating, for this was what had brought me into Doraemon.

The fact that I still have the episodes with me, really challenges the notion that the opening sequence is "one of the last few surviving clips". In fact, if I had the proper software, and found the tapes in my store room, I could upload the ones I have. Add to the fact that this was aired on Malaysian TV, there is a possibility that there are surviving copies of the entire series somewhere.

I'm pretty sure many people recorded the series as well, and if we were to upload all of it, we'd get to revive this old series.

And I was pretty much surprised to hear about it being lost forever when I had just watched this series as recently as 2001 on my old VCR... Now that I know it's rare, I'll cherish my copy forever, and I may consider making copies then selling them off at Ebay!--TerrawindX2 (talk) 21:14, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but there's no evidence to proof your points to be valid. Fact that this series was rebroadcast in Japan only in the 70's. And that the episodes and footages from the 1973 series are all destroyed (with the exception to the opening sequence, ending sequence and some audio and still images in some episodes). All sources are gathered from the Japanese and the Japan Wikipedia page. If any of the episodes survived it would've been mentioned by them throughout these years. 42 years in total. The Japanese surely know better, the very origin of this 1973 series was in Japan. As outsiders, we couldn't argue much without evidence since we weren't there at the time to witness.

I am pretty sure the one you are referring to is the 1979 TV Asahi series. The animation for the first few years was different. The animation style changed in early 80's. The 1979 edition has indeed been aired and dubbed in Malaysia in early 90's. Yuunomi (talk) 22:34, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some info

[edit]

Guys, I read that the series actually got good ratings was considered to be extended for another year, but it had budget issues, and financial issues the studio had. The president abruptly resigned during the run. The new president appeared to not regard the anime very highly, and the financial issues with the studio made it bankrupt and it dissolved. People were not paid for their as a result. The reels and other possessions wound up sold off, while the other possesions wound up being trashed, or sadly burnt in a Kerosene fire. In 1995, 3 episodes and 16 negatives were found in storage in Studio Rush (now known as IMAGICA), and other segments were founds, but 2 exist without their audio track. The opening and ending exist, but some cannot be released due to copyright issues, and are shown in Doraemon fan conventions in Japan. The series was alleged to be reran in 1979, but it was pulled because they did not want the 1979 series' reputation to be ruined, or children be confused by which version. It's possible that recordings are possible in 1979, but I am not so sure. There is a alleged 1972 pilot film in Masami Jun's storage. Please excuse my grammar. -A 11 year old 96.52.113.151 (talk) 11:06, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

– Use of "anime" as a "standard" disambiguator was pretty definitively ruled out in a Feb. 2018 RfC (see: Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 141#RFC: Is “(anime)” a suitable disambiguator?), which reaffirmed that WP:NCTV is the proper naming convention for naming anime TV show articles, as it is for all articles on TV shows, animated or not. As such, the following articles need to be moved. The "List of episodes" articles, in particular, are using a very non-standard naming scheme, so it's best if all of these are moved as proposed, as per WP:CONSISTENCY. --IJBall (contribstalk) 15:19, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sources Needed

[edit]

Hello there! I added a citation template because I feel there is some information in the article that doesn't have easily foundable sources on search engines nor any references for them already in Wikipedia. For example:

  1. "A pilot film was produced in 1972 and shown to test audiences in January 1973. Audience included Doraemon creator Fujiko Fujio. They initially approved of the show, but when they were shown the progress, they apparently were angered by the fact that they changed Nobita and Doraemon's personalities." Is an example of what I'm talking about. Google search returned 0 results related to the info in English, maybe in Japanese it returns more, but as this is the English article, maybe it could have the original Japanese source referenced there.

So, any opinions about this? Thank you. Apolo234 (talk) 21:58, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
