Hugely popular kiddy anime Doraemon will finally receive its US TV debut this summer, by way of no less than Disney themselves – an announcement that has left many to wonder as to what took so long, considering the anime had aired in 35 other countries outside of Japan since Doraemon’s conception 45 years ago, long enjoying no small popularity in the rest of Asia in particular.
Disney intends to broadcast 26 episodes on a daily basis, quite a generous schedule considering TV broadcast cartoons are usually limited to single days.
To spare impressionable young minds the harmful impact of Asian culture, the show is to be thoroughly localised – forks safely replace chopsticks, dollars yen, the scenes of overeating which do so much more to induce childhood obesity than fast-food commercials are cut to less American portion sizes, and even Sue (Shizuka) is to get a more “boyish” character.
Disney and Asahi apparently even plan to make the US version the global standard, finally delivering Doraemon’s dated antics to the children of the rest of the world – if they are well received by US audiences, at least.

dafug?
So they decided to make an American version of Doraemon and make it the "standard"?
which means no more "panty flashing moments" or "bathing moments" for us
fuck....
So it will be abit like Fairy odd parents
Or Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
Since when Asian culture (especially the stuff in Doraemon) are "harmful"?
Shizuka's 'panty flashing moments' and 'bathing moments'
well since it's american version, they'll skip that and go straight to premarital, teen sex
lol I used to watch doraemon in Korea, thye have a few ecchi-like scenes. Btw in korea, yeah, They did air doraemo. In case u didn't kno.
Onigiri in Pokemon = jelly doughnuts.
Dorayaki = Canadian Maple Syrup Pancake
Bath scenes -> Sex scenes
America - where it's perfectly acceptable to buy a Japanese or German car rebadged as an American car but people will flip shit when they find out their Mazda is actually a Ford or their VW Routan is really a Dodge Caravan.
Jews: Proving Hitler Right Since 1945.
Not funny guy. :/
Disney hates Jews, and even produced nazi propaganda cartoons pre-WW2.
Jews hijacked Disney in 1990, notice how the quality from Disney products has been in constant and sharp decline since then.
And you are an idiot. Disney war propaganda was ANTI-Nazi. It was commissioned by the US Govt ffs. At least know your shit before you spout off. He had relations with known Nazi's before that time but so did the Rockefellers the Carnegie Institute and IBM. Hell IBM stuck around AFTER the war started to see what would happen more or less. You still use a PC though. they kinda made that happen for you.
Nothing could brace the world for the avalanche of crap that followed the wonder of "Aladdin" and "Rescue Rangers" ("Quack Pack ", "GoofTroop" and "Pocahantas" quickly comes to mind)
Keep (re)making soulless crap or despoil Asian Classics; just like the rest of the jewnited states of Hollywood are STILL doing to this day in modern culture.
I think it's so kids don't get confused being like "What are those stick things and why is that man eating food with those?" Even though I partially agree with their decision to localize all the Japanese elements into American tradition, it would be /kinda/ awesome for the kids to look back at the show when they're grown up and being like "Huh, that's really interesting. This whole time, I was being shown the ways of Japan and their culture." Kinda like a kid playing a game like Super Marion RPG and then learning about the cultural things in the game when they've grown up.
Woah! Now I really gotta replay SMRPG! The only thing I remember was that "look the other way" game.
But yeah, as a kid it got kinda annoying seeing Japanese references everywhere in TV shows. I'm the total opposite now, but at the time the world was a much different place. I don't think they need to worry about these things anymore. In fact, hiding other cultures could actually hurt today's children because chances are, they may have to do business overseas someday. That's why today's cartoons put in little bits like Spanish and Chinese language lessons.
Yeah, I'm sure as a kid every westerner hated things like ninjas and instead preferred hitmen...
Come on guys, if the TMNT were localized to Japan and addicted to okonomiyaki instead of pizza, we would all be thinking it's stupid and not needed.
I have started watching 1979 series few weeks ago. I am hoping Doraemon will became more popular outside of Japan due to US debut
if it will be, it's in the wrong sort of way
Disney intends to broadcast 26 episodes on a daily basis, quite a generous schedule considering TV broadcast cartoons are usually limited to single days. <---- hmm, 26...not the whole 1787 or whatever eps this show has?
Doraemon has 3 seasons (Dunno if they're just remakes or not... Ima say seasons).
1. Aired in 1973 with 26 episodes,
2.aired 1979 to 2005 with 1787 episodes, and
3. aired starting april in 2005, and apparently still ongoing.
Ho Lee Fuq.
Btw, "26 episodes on a daily basis"
Does this mean they're going to broadcast only 26 episodes, and air on a daily basis? OR does it mean they're going to air 26 episodes daily?
.....Not sure this is really gonna take with kids over here. I mean not everything Disney touches automatically becomes a big hit, people still gotta watch it. Way I see it, they probably waited too long. for this to matter to American audiences.
had 3 seasons apparently, 1st with 26 ep aired in 1973, 2nd aired 1979 to 2005 with 1787 episodes, and 3rd that started 2005 and is ongoing.
Btw, "Disney intends to broadcast 26 episodes on a daily basis, quite a generous schedule considering TV broadcast cartoons are usually limited to single days."
Does this mean they're only gonna broadcast 26 episodes, and broadcast episodes on a daily basis? OR does it mea that they're broadcasting 26 episodes daily?

If they broadcast 26 episodes every day they could actually manage to catch up..
Omfg wow. my comment "The huge ones" was spammed 3 times. Omfg when I kept refreshing, it wasn't appearing..

Doraemon aired here daily for over 15 years... Then kids started to find it boring, plummeting audience rates and canceling it. I'm pretty sure the same will happen in the USA. After almost 50 years, there are things better suited for kids than Doraemon. It simply comes too late...
Doraemon is still interesting, if only the kids actually watched it properly and take time to absorb the moral of the story.
Its just that they find it getting boring because there are too friggin' many things that keep them at bay nowadays; internet, videogames, selfie-ing, mobile apps, porn etc etc and need I remind you that almost every kid born from 2012 onward might as well got a smartphone attached to their umbilical cord. TV shows just got almost no chance already.
I think it'll be similar to Domo-kun's US localization. It didn't take over the world, but it did enjoy a following. I don't think Doraemon is too late at all, just that it won't be anywhere near a household name.
Well, my niece is just 5yo and finds Doraemon boring. And no, no videogames, smartphones, etc to get addicted to for the moment, just plain old TV...
she needs to grow up more. doraemon's actually quite heavy for children under 6~7
I agree with the Anonymous, Anonymous. She needs to grow more first. I only started watching it at my 7 years. I wasn't getting it before that.
Is this an edited version of what airs in Japan or a completely different production?
