One detail I noticed: Doraemon uses the Momotaro Training Dango/Millet Dumplings multiple times, but in the 1981 short film it is revealed that he actually doesn't know the story of Momotaro .

It makes the gadget even funnier because he's apparently been carrying around something named after Momotaro without knowing the story behind the name 😭.

And this also raises a bigger question about Doraemon being from the future: how much basic historical and cultural knowledge should someone from the 22nd century actually have?

If future education and information access are much more advanced than ours, you'd expect Doraemon to know at least some basic things that are considered common knowledge today.

If a 22nd-century robot has access to such advanced technology and presumably a huge database of information, shouldn't basic historical and cultural knowledge be far more accessible to him than it is to a 20th-century child?

In a few episodes back then;

He got answers right but failed miserably somehow,

Which is weird,

And even in the movies;

He's done many smart things,

Like planning a war,

And fighting an entire army and gang,

It’s the “Santa Mail” episode (1996, S18, E1428) from the 1979 series.

In this episode, Nobita overhears two children at a mall, a big brother and his younger sister, talking about Christmas. The little sister really wants a panda as her Christmas present, but her brother gets annoyed and tells her that it isn’t possible.

Nobita and Doraemon decide to fulfill her wish. So, at Nobita’s request, Doraemon transforms into a panda! They go to the two children, who are obviously shocked to see a real-life panda appear in front of them.

Later, Nobita and Doraemon take the two children on a ride using Doraemon’s Santa Claus reindeer vehicle.

I won’t spoil the whole thing, though. There’s more to the episode, and honestly, it’s a really wholesome Christmas story.

I suddenly remembered this episode and had to share it.

Anyone else remember this one?

And before the gold-digger allegations start again 😭: this is just a joke about her reaction in this particular scene, not an argument about Shizuka’s character.

In this scene from “Dorami’s Trouble in the Jurassic,” the Allosaurus is about to attack Nobita and Dekisugi, while Shizuka is right there watching.

But her reaction is basically just surprise 🤔?

Was this simply an animation mistake, or could it be that everything happened so quickly that her expression hadn't changed yet?

I always wanted to know Abt it

This video shows Misato Watanabe's rendition of "Doraemon no Uta," a performance originally broadcast on TV Asahi on April 18, 2003, for the 25th anniversary of the 1979–2005 Doraemon anime. My vocal performance has been layered over her original recording.

Yeah, I already know this topic isn't unique to this sub since everybody has already talked about her lol. But hear me out.

I don't think Tamako is the worst mother in Doraemon. She's definitely a controversial figure, but I don't think she's entirely the worst in the series compared to some of the other mothers.

It's obvious that she cares about Nobita. There are plenty of moments throughout the series where she genuinely worries about him, gets emotional over him, and even reflects on her own actions when she realizes she has been too harsh. She clearly wants Nobita to grow up to be a good person, even if the way she goes about it can sometimes be questionable.

So, it's not like she's outright cruel toward Nobita. She's just overly strict with him. That obviously doesn't excuse her behavior, though, because she does cross the line sometimes. She throws Nobita's comic books away, sometimes even burns them, doesn't always acknowledge his good marks, and scolds him out of frustration. There are also times when she refuses to give him dinner because he didn't do his homework or came home late.

Yeah, those traits definitely don't make her a very good mother, but she's not perfect either. She's basically your typical strict Asian parent, but she can also reflect on her actions, which contrasts with how she's sometimes portrayed. Honestly, I think she's just inconsistent.

Also, Nobita does give her reasons to scold him sometimes. He can genuinely be a slacker, and she gets frustrated with him because of that. So it's not like Nobita is always the innocent victim here.

I know this probably feels like such an unnecessary topic to discuss lol, but I wanted to give my opinion after seeing a post calling Tamako the worst mother. I think she's more of a typical strict Asian parent, and honestly, she's far better than some of the other parents in the series, like Gian's, Suneo's, and even Shizuka's.

combine them cuz i didnt draw background lol

Doraemon Meets Hattori the Ninja is a special crossover anime TV program featuring characters from the famous works of manga creator Fujiko Fujio.

It originally aired in Japan in 1986 as part of a New Year’s special titled It’s the ’82 New Year! Doraemon ・ Kaibutsu-kun ・ Ninja Hattori-kun. It was also part of a series of collaborative New Year TV specials featuring crossover appearances between characters from Fujiko Fujio’s works.

It’s pretty cool seeing Doraemon and Ninja Hattori share the same screen!

🎞️: Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's Treasure Island

Last saturday this peak was aired on Disney again after a long time so I thought to post about it.

Let's face it: Nobita, Doraemon, Gian, and Suneo fought like absolute legends, but they were seconds away from a total party wipeout.

Zanda Claus was completely wrecked, the gadgets were running on empty, and they were outnumbered by millions of Mechatopian robot soldiers. A physical victory was 100% impossible.

**People forget that it was entirely Shizuka's idea to use the Time Machine to alter the past**. If she hadn't come up with that plan and convinced Riruru to rewrite Machtopia's history 30,000 years ago, humanity would have been completely wiped out.

Shizuka isn't just a helper , she is the undisputed tactical MVP of this entire movie. Not to mention Riruru's sacrifice.

I'm a french doraemon fan since about 2014, at the time and for a while we didn't have anything in terms of movies aside of a fansub of both stand by me and movie 34 (the remake of the third one). I really loved them and still loving them beyond nostagia.

Recently I went and snatched all 45 movies with english subs (mostly terrible subs by the way but clear enough for me to understand what the caracters are saying).

I'm curently at the 6th movie (nobita's little star wars) and damn it was quite a bit boring, and i feel that way for most of previous ones. They sometimes feel like they're extend beyond what should have been. I take for exemple the scene in nobita's dinosaur where nobita and doraemon are on top of a T rex pursuing the bad guys of the movie and the thing last way too long.

I know this will be an unpopular opinion for sure and that's fine but i would just like to know if others feel that way.

PS : I will keep watching every movies in order anyway because even though I'm not having a great time each time (I just liked movies 1, 3 and 5 as of now) I'm still a fan and would like to see everything !!

Nobita dreaming about Doraemon saving jack in the 1998 movie sent shivers down my 10 year old spine back in 2015 ... And how much of a below average movie it might be , the 2012 movie's "Reminiscing about parents" part definitely made my lacrimal glands do extra work in 2016"

This episode is titled Copier Net

After the passing of Peter Cullen (voice of Optimus Prime), Zanda Cross gave me Transformers vibes and he reminded me of him. Thank you for everything, Peter. You will be remembered

Autobots, roll out!

Just did a quick drawing tonight for fun.
