On Sale December 1 Special Feature: Doraemon - ● Doraemon Feature
“Doraemon,” the representative work of Fujiko Fujio, began serialization in children's magazines in 1969. With the release of the first tank?bon in 1974 and the TV Asahi anime broadcast starting in 1979, it gained explosive popularity and has become a beloved classic for fans in Japan and around the world. In fact, it was animated one year earlier by Nippon TV, but the series ended after six months due to the production company's dissolution. Because of its tone differing from the original manga, it became a “sealed work” and has never been rebroadcast. For this reason, dolls and goods from the 1973 Nippon TV version are extremely rare and highly valuable today. ■ Doraemon Anime Cels and Drawings From regular TV episodes to specials, theatrical releases, and even a few “risque” Shizuka-chan cels - a diverse lineup of Doraemon animation artwork. ■ Doraemon Posters A dazzling collection including theatrical posters spanning 45 years of Doraemon movies, product advertising posters, and unused calendar sheets featuring gorgeous and joyful designs. ■ Doraemon Magazines From the commemorative first appearance of “Doraemon” in school magazines, to Sunday magazine versions and the first issue of CoroCoro Comic - here lies the origin of a timeless masterpiece. - ● Producer Kiyoshi Suzuki Collection Vol. 3
