I was flipping through the channels and I have the Japanese channel on my favorites list, and I saw the title Doraemon, and had a noslatigic feeling for this show so I decided I wanted to watch an episode of the show. This was the closest I could get, and it is the first Doraemon movie I have watched.
Doraemon is a very popular children's TV show that has been running for more than 30 years. Every year the studio releases a Doraemon movie in the theater which loads of kids go see.
I used to watch Doraemon in Japan for Japanese language listening practice. I actually it was pretty easy to understand becuase the characters were talking about event happening around them, as opposed to other shows where the conversation often has little to do with the characters surroundings and it's easy lose the gist of the conversation.
Anyhow, in television format the show is fun, light and enjoyable. In movie format, they try to make a more serious story, but I feel that detracts from the appeal of the Doraemon program.
I was also a bit surprised that they showed a pretty much complete naked female in this movie, but then again you have to remember that Japanese are not prudish about nudity, and do not feel it has negative connotations.
