What is Doraemon produced by?

In early 1972, Japanese television station NTV and Fujiko Fujio negotiated to make an animated Doraemon series. In mid-1972, Japan's Shogakukan school year magazine "Good Child" (a magazine suitable for children aged 3-6) published "Japan's NTV will broadcast the Doraemon animation with great popularity!"

On April 1, 1973, after a long period of production by the production staff, the first episode of this version was "Come Out!" "Doraemon: Scroll" opens. Although there is no historical data left on the ratings of the first episode, it is speculated that it should be good. After all, Doraemon was still very popular at the time. However, due to the strange voice actor and painting, the overall drama felt very "weird" . Moreover, in this version, Fat Tiger's mother is actually set to not exist (recorded in Chapter 8 "The Mighty Little General"), so the popularity has dropped greatly since the first chapter. At the end of June of that year, the first-generation Doraemon voice actor Tomita Koio was unfortunately injured while riding a bicycle and had to be admitted to the hospital. The next day, the Japanese TV animation production team urgently changed the voice actors. After Masako Nozawa became the voice actor for the second version of Doraemon, due to the popularity of Doraemon's good voice acting, the ratings rose from the sluggish single digits to 8.5-9% and then stabilized at 6.6% (following the 1967 The screening of Fujiko's work "Superman Parmen" has a stable ratings of 19-30%, which is still very low); Nippon Television officially even scheduled the animation to be extended until 1974.

On September 25, Showa 48, the president of the animation department of Nippon Television resigned (he was arrested for smuggling abroad in 1986 and was never heard from again) and had to end the animation urgently. The last episode was "Goodbye" . Doraemon Volume". It was rebroadcast across Japan from 1974 to the end of April 1979. After the Asahi version (the version we are watching now) was broadcast in 1979, the film was stopped (the last time it was broadcast was in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, in May 1979, and it was known to TV Asahi It was later dealt with seriously and the broadcast was suspended the following month, after which the film mysteriously disappeared).

In Japan, it is generally called "Old Dora" (きゅうドラ, Kyudora). Most of the main staff are people who left the Mushi Production Company (Mushi Production) founded by Osamu Tezuka. "Nippon TV Animation Production Company" (Nihon Turu Animation), and several temporarily hired members of "Niigata Animation Studio" (Niigata Animation Studio) began to take turns to produce. On April 1, 1973, supervisor and anchor Mitsuo Kamisashi re-edited the pilot test version and began broadcasting with the first episode "Here Comes! Doraemon's Scroll". About 15 minutes are story segments, and two stories are played at a time. The first generation of Doraemon was voiced by Kosei Tomita, who had a lot of experience with animal characters. The impression of Doraemon may be somewhat different from the current impression of Doraemon. At that time, the staff believed that they could "like to help people". "Old man" is the main image.

Compared with the works at that time, the color contrast is relatively stable. At that time, animations were supposed to be shot on 35mm negative film, then re-shot on 16mm positive film and then broadcast in the wide-angle range of television. However, this work was shot directly on 16mm film.

The program is broadcast at 7 o'clock on Sunday evening, which coincides with the broadcast time of many high-rating programs on other friendly channels; the production unit has entered into a tough battle to ensure the ratings. After the broadcast entered the second stage, "Fifth grade students" and "Sixth grade students" began to be serialized. The senior high school students began to enter the ratings group, and after the second stage, the voice actor was changed to Masako Nozawa, which obviously changed the original image. The ratings gradually increased, the income and expenditure turned into a profit, and there was even a plan to extend the broadcast for one year.
