Cool beans, too bad it's not this version:
-
XD What did I just watch? That an interesting, yet awesome series of commercials.
-
Live-action Doraemon starring Jean Reno should be an actual full-length TV series.
-
Huh, that's cool. Now to find out if I get this channel.
-
Well an easy well to tell if you get Disney XD, if you get Boomerang, Nicktoons & The HUB, you probably get DXD as well, a lot of Cable/Satellite packages have all of those networks in the same bracket.
But yeah, I hear this is the 2005 series they will be airing, looking forward to checking it out!

Dang don't have the channel, but it's awesome to see a series which is such a cultural icon in Japan get aired here in the States.

Just checked and we do get it! I'll have to tune in this summer. No Nicktoons or Hub though, those be more money.

I can't say its something I would watch, but nice to see something as iconic as this getting on US television. I just hope this manages to last longer than Disney XD's airing of the Stitch anime.
-
I wonder if there are plans for this to air on Canada's Disney XD.
-
I have Disney XD and would trade it in a minute to get Toon Disney back

This is just dumb; the target audience is probably smarter than the ones in charge of these edits.

Quoting from the article:
The three Japanese companies that hold the copyrights — TV Asahi, Fujiko F. Fujio Production, and TV Asahi's anime studio subsidiary Shinei Animation — are producing the English version by contracting it to American studios.
So you're saying a bunch of American kids are smarter than the original Japanese companies?
Huh. Who knew? :hmm:

When it comes to knowledge of modern American media practices and TV demographics, yeah probably.
Japanese corporations are already pretty notorious for being arcane, backwards-thinking bureaucratic relics. The idea that they would have any freaking clue as to what constitutes appropriate content for American children's televisions is actually kinda laughable. The Doraemon edits were probably signed off on by some old Japanese executive who only remembers how popular the over-localized versions of Macross and Sailor Moon were 20 years ago.

Though the level of editing does seem on par with what 4Kids used to do or basically any anime that aired on TV in the USA pre-Toonami era. I am totally unfazed about these changes personally. It isn't like anime hasn't been edited before to get it on TV.
-
I'm kind of mixed on this. I don't really mind the name changes, since they're kind of on the 'Digimon' curve of being similar in a weird way. I don't mind certain edits, as that happens all the time to get anime on TV here. But some of these edits are just…painful. Particularly the first-aid kit into a freaking pizza. (Though, I DO feel better after eating one myself...)
Still interested in checking this out though, since I've always been kinda-sorta curious about Doraemon.
-
Yeah the edits are silly, but what yea gonna do. XD
Apperantly these JP studios aren't aware that not all U.S. Toons are like Seasame Street.
Someone show em some Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, My Little Pony , or Korra ASAP!!! XD
Anywho I'll still watch the Dub because Doreamon is finally gonna be on U.S. TV, never thought I'd see the day.

To be fair, Doraemon is definitely aimed more at the Seasame Street/Dora the Explorer crowd than it is the Last Airbender/Adventure Time crowd.
The edits that really baffle me are the chopsticks=forks stuff. I don't see what possible negative consequence can come from exposing a child to the idea that other cultures exist.
-
This is true, again the edits don't bother me any more then edits to Digimon, I mean it's a show aimed at the what, 3-7 demo, so yeah. They are kinda silly/stupid. But they don't ruin the show, I'll still enjoy watching the dub when it airs later this summer.
And I don't think it's being against showing other cultures, heck even little kids know about chopsticks because of Chinese restaurants. But yeah, it's just a company desperately trying to get their old well loved show on a U.S. TV network & over doing things me thinks.
