    I watched Stand by Me Doraemon! The movie was 1h 35m long. This was a fun movie! tbh it had a ton of vibes in it, it was funny, it was tense, and it was really sweet 🥹 the animation looked really good as well, and I liked the vibrant colors! The movie had a good message to it, it was a nice watch 😊

    I watched Stand by Me Doraemon 2! The movie was 1h 36m long. ngl this was a pretty chill sequel! The movie continued a plot point from the original installment, and it was mostly a relaxed trip revisiting the world of Doraemon 😊 it had some sweet moments in it as well, it was a nice experience!

    Ironically, the film it beat, and the only other nominee, was a genuine Taiwanese animated film, Uncle Niou’s Great Adventure from 1982. It was produced by Wang Film Productions who in the same year also made the lost bootleg Doraemon film, Doraemon: Robot War. 8/8

    This year's #Doraemon movie: New Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil. Remake of the 1983 film where Doraemon and friends visit the bottom of the ocean. Arguably a bigger crowd-pleaser than the original, but maybe not a better movie. 3/5 stars. albertonykus.tumblr.com/post/8243500... #ドラえもん

    I just watched one, like 30 minutes ago. It's ***Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's Earth Symphony*** It's about music, and honestly animated films about music are some of the coolest films, as they can have infinite imagination of synchronizing and visualizing the music. I know Doraemon isn't that popular in the west, but it's one of the top franchises here in Asia. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/230f6703-3ef5-46c3-90c2-a6c7dbcb0d39.jpeg)

    Looked back at the Thai alphabet some, after not for a while. Starting to recognize a lot of the consonants, sorta. Pronouncing anything is tough tho. Got lax in my Kanji Kohii habit, so I'm trying to dig back up through those flashcards. Reviews build up fast when you skip even a day or two. Found some Doraemon manga at a larger used book store near me. They were like 2 bucks a piece, so I didn't think much before grabbing them. But on closer inspection when I brought them home, these won't…

    Furthest back that I can remember are Doraemon both films and series from around 80s 90s and some other tokusatsu. All on VHS. Can not remember which one exactly is "the first". I start early ;) Then some series that I never watched from start to finish on cable network. Like Ranma, Sailor Moon, Oh! My Goddess, You're Under Arrest!, Houshin Engi, El Hazard, CC Sakura, Galaxy Angel. I always try to be in time for Sakura and Galaxy Angel airing, because cute girls. Never did, because school.…

    Wait, wait, wait. You're telling me that Ayumu Watanabe directed Witch Hat Atelier *and* Akane-banashi, two of the most hyped anime this season?! Damn, he's been busy. His Doraemon short films in the late 90s–early 2000s are in my opinion among the best animated media that franchise has to offer.
