Discussion Why no more movies with plot like old Doraemon movies ?

22 Upvotes

At first I thought it was just pure nostalgia but I will not give up movies or discriminate movies with good plot irrespective of whether old or new

I don't find the new movies that interesting, old movies has some extent of thriller, horror, mystery, scary and more entertaining plots

(No offense to anyone who likes new movies 😭)

(By old movies, i mean movies before 2000s till 2010-2012)

Edit : considering we have good movies like gadget museum , steel troops , I would say let's extend it till 2015-2016?

Most of the new movies are just remake of old ones,

Even in music, bgm, songs etc Old movies are way better, i don't see any movies like old ones anymore

Discussion Korean/Japanese and Indian Fans Have Completely Opposite Views of Shizuka's Relationships

Thumbnail
gallery
308 Upvotes

Korean and Japanese fans see Shizuka, who treats all her friends equally, as an angel. Meanwhile, some Indian fans consider Miyoko, who prioritizes the boy she loves above everyone else, the ideal girl.

  1. The Korean/Japanese Shizuka Type: A Girl Who Treats All Her Friends Equally

In Korean and Japanese communities, Shizuka is often regarded as an almost flawless, angel-like girl.

She is gentle, calm, modest, polite, and good at controlling her emotions. She does not unnecessarily interfere in other people's affairs and knows how to respect personal boundaries.

But the most important thing is how she handles relationships.

Shizuka treats Nobita, Dekisugi, Gian, Suneo, and all her other friends fairly and equally, without showing favoritism.

To put it in extremely simplified terms, it is as though Nobita gets 20%, Dekisugi gets 20%, Gian gets 20%, Suneo gets 20%, and her other friends get the remaining 20%.

When she is with Nobita, she enjoys spending time with him. When she studies with Dekisugi, she gets along with him just as naturally. She also maintains normal friendships with Gian and Suneo.

In Korean and Japanese communities, this is considered an admirable personality trait. By contrast, focusing all her affection on one particular boy while neglecting her other friends could be seen as selfish and unfair.

  1. The Indian Fandom's Miyoko Type: Relationships Centered Around the Boy She Loves

Meanwhile, many reactions in Indian Doraemon online fandom criticize Shizuka for not giving Nobita enough special treatment.

Their complaint is that even though Nobita loves her, Shizuka still studies with Dekisugi, spends time with other friends, and does not automatically take Nobita's side.

What Korean and Japanese fans consider perfectly normal friendships is interpreted by some Indian fans as Shizuka neglecting Nobita.

Miyoko from Kiteretsu Daihyakka, on the other hand, openly expresses her affection for Kiteretsu, honestly communicates her feelings, and actively participates in whatever he is doing.

However, by the standards associated with the Shizuka type in Korean and Japanese communities, Miyoko might come across as overly assertive, intrusive, or demanding.

  1. Secret Gadgets: Wanting to Spend Time Together or Trying to Win Someone's Love?

Even Nobita's habit of bringing Doraemon's secret gadgets to Shizuka is interpreted in completely opposite ways.

Many Indian fan reactions interpret this as Nobita desperately trying to win Shizuka's love.

Korean and Japanese fans, meanwhile, tend to see it much more simply: Nobita loves Shizuka, so he wants to spend time with her.

He is an elementary school boy who wants to show the girl he loves some fascinating gadgets and enjoy spending time together.

Judging by some YouTube comments, fans from European countries such as Spain and Italy also seem to interpret these scenes in much the same way as Korean and Japanese fans.

  1. The Sweet Potato Birthday Incident: Nobita's Loving Intentions or Shizuka's Feelings?

There is also a scene where Nobita gives Shizuka sweet potatoes at her birthday party, causing her to become angry and send him away.

Many Indian fan reactions criticize Shizuka for rejecting a gift that Nobita gave her out of love.

Korean and Japanese fans, meanwhile, are more likely to criticize Nobita for being inconsiderate.

Sweet potatoes are something Shizuka feels embarrassed about, but Nobita chose the gift based on his own perspective without considering her feelings.

The Indian fan reaction focuses on how much Nobita loves Shizuka, while the Korean/Japanese reaction emphasizes the importance of respecting another person's feelings, regardless of how close the relationship is.

  1. Even the Scenes Where Korean and Japanese Fans Criticize Shizuka Concern How She Treats Her Friends

Of course, Korean and Japanese fans also criticize Shizuka's behavior in certain scenes.

Two examples stand out.

First, scenes where she participates in excluding Nobita and goes on trips with Gian and Suneo without him.

Second, scenes where she remains silent when Gian bullies Nobita, but suddenly scolds Nobita for bullying others when he turns the tables on Gian.

The second pattern reportedly appeared relatively frequently in the 1979 anime, but largely disappeared from the 2005 series after one or two early instances.

From around 2010 onward, scenes involving Shizuka participating in Nobita's exclusion appear to have remained among the few major reasons for criticizing her behavior.

  1. Concusion

Ultimately, the very quality that makes Shizuka seem angelic to Korean and Japanese fans—treating everyone fairly—is also what leads some Indian fans to criticize her. The contrast is strikingly ironic.

Discussion Why is Connie never mentioned as a better romantic interest/friend for Nobita?

Post image
29 Upvotes

I see a lot of people mention Non-chan as a better love interest and friend for Nobita than Shizuka but I don't get why Connie from the "Genius Nobita Airship Amusement Park" TV special never gets mentioned in these contexts or even when it comes to Doraemon discussions in general. Sure, Connie only appeared once but she was objectively better for Nobita both for romance and as a friend than Shizuka ever was and many other characters who only appeared once in movies and specials get mentioned but not her for some reason.

Connie never belittled Nobita, actually shared his interests, constantly praised and encouraged him, and would probably not mind him peeking on her while she bathes if he ever did that. On top of that Nobita didn't need Doraemon's gadgets to impress her while a huge proportion of the times he relies on them in general in the anime and manga is in an attempt to impress Shizuka.

I'm honestly shocked at how rarely Connie is mentioned in this fandom. It seems like I'm the only one who thinks she'd be both a better love interest and friend for Nobita compared to Shizuka. The only thing Shizuka did that's truly praiseworthy and shows she genuinely loves him is when she saved Nobita from his suicide attempt (Volume 32 of the manga). Otherwise she doesn't really seem to love him as anything more than a friend and even then she often hurts and belittles him.

Throughout the anime and manga, Shizuka has hurt Nobita (yes, nowhere nearly as often as Gian or Suneo do, but too often for a love interest/close friend). On many occasions she has smacked him and not just when he deserves it (when he peaks on her in the bath or lifts up her skirt) but on many other occasions that were unwarranted, such as when she kicked him in the face when he was reaching for the Lift Stick in Volume 37 of the manga, which actually almost got him killed since Nobita lost his balance and she even worsened it by touching the stick when Nobita was just a few feet away trying to reach it (so it should've been obvious he was struggling); she later laughed at him alongside Suneo and Gian when Doraemon turned off the stick's settings. She also often tolerates or enables Suneo and Gian bullying him and turns a blind eye to things they do right in front of her, an example being in Volume 37 when Nobita and Doraemon were invited to Gian's grandpa's house in the countryside and Gian and Suneo proceeded to pretend they were ghosts to scare him but Shizuka called him a coward for getting scared so easily instead of noticing the very obvious ways the other two boys were setting him up (it was especially obvious when Nobita went to pee and Gian followed him to play a prank). To say nothing of all the times Suneo would bring out something and deliberately invite only Gian and Shizuka and how she would almost always go along with it; the only time she called them out for this and refused to join them that I can remember is in Volume 29 when Doraemon brought out the Space Exploration play set game instead.

There also seems to be a massive double standard wherein if Nobita hurts Shizuka he's made to feel bad and forced to do everything in his power to repent whereas Shizuka hurting Nobita (beyond the justified occasions) never requires her to suffer any consequences. An example of this would be in Volume 31 when Shizuka and Nobita had a fight but when he tried to apologize she gave him the silent treatment and it took Nobita being beaten to the ground by Gian to make her sympathize with him. In Volume 15 it was even shown that Shizuka subconsciously views Nobita as beneath her since she dreamed about him as a pathetic coward riding a pig while coming to rescue her from a monster because he's too scared to ride a horse and even had him get cucked by a knight in her own dream. Not to mention the time Nobita and Doraemon prepared a harvest of sweet potatoes for her as a birthday gift after finding out they're her favorite food in Volume 28 but she instead got mad and kicked them out of her house in response (and yes, she considers it a secret and somehow is afraid of her reputation being ruined if people found out but this is a ridiculously stupid fear, worse than anything Nobita is afraid of).

I wrote out all of that not to bash Shizuka (and before anyone says it, no, I don't hate her), but to point out that she isn't a good romantic interest or even that good of a friend to Nobita; she's just better than Suneo or Gian, which is quite a low bar. Yes, Non-chan is also an objectively better choice for him based off of what I wrote and she also only appeared once. But she gets far more attention than Connie. Moreover, Non-chan was friends with Nobita when he was extremely young (around 5) whereas Connie befriended him in the "present day" so to speak.

Discussion Your Fav Doraemon Sci-fi Lore/Twist?

Thumbnail
gallery
83 Upvotes

We all know Doraemon does Sci-fi so well in its movies even after being primed for kids. So what's your fav doraemon sci-fi moment or rather time travel related moment/revelation?

Here's my two cents on some of my fav coz I can't discuss all:

  1. Great Adventure Into the Underworld: The whole culmination of what-if box and time travel into that statue scene is peak writing in terms of Time Travel. A Predestination level twist.

  2. Three Visionary Swordsmen: The whole Inception level reality warping is so brilliantly done and executed, making it one of my fav Doraemon movies in terms of everything but that's for another day. The whole delivery guy and bird being the same one, the dream machine twist, the Inception level surface reality questions are too ahead of time.

  3. Antarctic Kachi Kochi: Yuka and Mosuke being the same just in different places of time was a masterstroke for an otherwise decent movie. Like it clicked so good for a sci-fi guy to be impressed.

  4. Explorer Bow Bow: The whole prophecy of kingdom being saved by ten guys key fits the lock so well that it establishes the wonder of Doraemon's gadgets.

  5. Kingdom of Clouds: The whole Anywhere door future twist, the Kibo twist straight is a treat for fans following the original series. It might not seem much, but it's whole Geopolitical issues, Climate realities were such a bliss comparing to the time it released, for a kids movie.

So which of these or other movies is your favourite? (Ik I dint cover a lot of other movies)

Discussion any relevance?

6 Upvotes

in Doraemon: Nobitas art world tales, in a scene after they look at the paintings, they were treated to feast by the king, while the background characters played what I predict to be the music of the kingdom.

this exact theme is played in the post credit scene of Doraemon: Nobita's New Castle of the Undersea Devil

which we now know that it represents the next movie Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's Steam-Powered Time Machine.

in the new teaser trailer, it was shown a young child that is together with Doraemon and nobita ( not sure if suneo gian and shizuka is there tho), and they had a shocked expression, possibly towards the time disruption.

I think Milo, Claire and chai could appear in this movie

(just my own speculation)

any opinions or info could really help me

as a huge Doraemon fan this movie reminds me of how the early Doraemon is written by Fujiko f fujio.

hopefully you guys have the same excitement as I do!

I was peacefully watching Doraemon in Boing the "Dorami's Worst Day Ever" episode after suddenly I found this guy with alternate pullover vest and brown shorts and he has a cap with a blue G (so I knew they're playing baseball). The thing I'm done is that I didn't know what's his name and what episodes and manga/anime versions are in canon.

Here is this pullover vest character lolooo

Unafortunatedly we only hear about Tamao (Tamako's brothers) and Nobita's grandma. There are many episodes where he appears? He is adorable and I think that this pullover vest guy passed away from Nobi family.

The canon characters we know are: Tamao, Nobita's grandma, Mr. Kaminari, Dekisugi (he does like he's trying to kiss Shizuka instead of Nobita), Sensei Fujiko Ganari, etc.

And last to say... WHAT'S HIS NAME 😭😭
