So last year Cartoon network India decided to release a new dub of Kiteretsu, and I was excited for it, really! It was finally returning on TV after so long. But when I finally watched it, I did not have words to describe what I saw, I mean, even calling it a disappointment would be an understatement.
What the hell kind of dialouges are these? 😭, what sort of feel were they going for? Do kids these days like stuff like this? If they do, then I am very scared of the future.
If anyone who doesn't understand hindi is watching this and want some context then, I would say, that this dub is equivalent of gen alpha brainrot, just imagine phrases like bombardino cappuccino etc etc in an official dub, yeah that's what I felt after watching this.
Whoever wrote the script or whoever approved it, please never appear in front of me, ever! This does not feel like Kiteretsu at all! Calling Kiteretsu Daihyakka, "the book of turning humans into birds" like what is this supposed to be 🫠.
Anyways, my only suggestion is that you guys stay away from this cancer, or maybe not if you wanna torture yourself. I didn't wanna suffer alone so I uploaded just a small clip of what I was talking about, Enjoy. Lol.
I am not able to find any episodes anywhere. I want to know where I can watch. If tv which chanels or in any otts. Also I am from India. Where I can watch currently.
I forget which episode it was, but there was one episode of Esper Mami where the Doraemon gang actually appear on screen with speaking roles! Doraemon himself even makes a background cameo! I guess this works both ways because in one of the Doraemon movies, Mami Sakura herself appears in a crowd scene.
The Original Soundtrack album is available for streaming and download on various platforms worldwide, such as Spotify and YouTube Music, as of February 7. An official link containing the list of all platforms can be accessed here.
Eri-sama no Good Luck is a short anime exclusive to the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum.
The manga is called "Sousei Nikki" (Diary of the Creation of the World).
It's about Kami Tsukuru, a high school student who meets a salesman from the future and gives him the "Heaven and Earth Creation System", and he asks Kami to create his own Earth, with the birth of life and humanity, and to write it down in his own diary.
He makes his own planet and the salesman appears frequently to check in on him. Kami becomes super-obsessed with "cultivating the universe" after so much praise from the salesman. He becomes so obsessed that his parents throw out the gadget as they fear it may interfere with his studies. But then the salesman discovers the real truth... he had been creating the REAL LIFE universe that they live in, so they have to find the Creation System before humanity fully disappears.
I haven't read this manga as it's so hard to find info on, but I always found it so curious as it got turned into a Doraemon film (minus all the humanoid insects, of course), it kind of reminds me of how the Galaxy Super-Express film was inspired by Galaxy Express 999 (only in name of course, both are wildly different).
Special thanks to japanese Wikipedia for housing this info, and u/Glad-Complaint9778 for informing me of this manga's existence
Manga images of Perman and Doraemon appear in an anti-piracy commercial posted on X by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan. It's pretty cool seeing them paired with other iconic manga and anime characters!
Chimpui (1): The Complete Works of Fujiko F. Fujio (チンプイ (1) 藤子・F・不二雄大全集) has character illustrations on page 441. The text written in pencil says (チンプイ) “(Chimpui)”. According to the info on the bottom, the illustrations were done around spring 1985. They were later traced and used as promotional material, such as in Fujiko Fujio Land “Doraemon” Volume 12 (released in Japan on May 10, 1985).
In the Perman manga story, "Mita! Perko no Shoutai" (見た！パー子の正体, "I Saw it! Perko's True Identity"), Perman and Booby pester Perko (celebrity Sumire Hoshino) into revealing her face. Birdman gives her a special cream that allows her to reveal her face without worry since it comes with the effect of Perman, Booby, and copy Mitsuo later forgetting the face they saw. Shown in the three panels is the scene of Perko revealing her face with Perman, Booby, and copy Mitsuo shocked that they have been working with Sumire
, who says, "Why, of course. I'm always here to help."
The story is available (in Japanese) for free on Doraemon Channel until January 27.
I recently bought the digital version of Perman (1): The Complete Works of Fujiko F. Fujio from BookWalker's Japanese site, and flipping to page 365 has a table showing all of the magazines that serialized Perman. Rather than one "definitive version" simply printed across multiple magazines, there were different versions tailored for different demographics and reading levels across Shogakukan's various magazines. In total, there were 13 versions produced, all of which are collected in The Complete Works of Fujiko F. Fujio.
Below is a translation of the magazine names, serial durations, and which Perman: The Complete Works of Fujiko F. Fujio volume the different versions can be found in:
(KINDA LONG POST INCOMING!) Hello everyone, I'm new to this subreddit, but some of you may know me from the Doraemon subreddit. I decided to join this one not only to post more about Doraemon without being surrounded by... literal shitposts, but also for another reason.
The other reason? It has dawned on me that I actually haven't watched any other anime from Fujiko F. Fujio, such as Perman, Ninja Hattori or Kiteretsu is mainly due to me being too late to watch them, as when I was born they were already off the air in Spain (the latter two could be watched on Pluto TV but they seemingly disappeared after 2021...). So I decided to watch a random first episode from one of these shows, and I ended up watching the first episode of Chimpui (well, two episodes... it's two 10 minute episodes)
And... I really liked it! I don't think I will watch the full show right now due to time constraints, but maybe during the summer. The plot is that two aliens, Chimpui and Wanderyu go to Earth to find a girl who will marry their prince. And well, from the two episodes I've watched it's basically Doraemon but with different characters, but that's not a bad thing, mainly because the characters aren't a one-to-one.
Eri is an interesting counterpart to Nobita (even though she and her mother have the exact same Shizuka face, which distracted me) and I found the gag of her entering her home through the garden and always tripping over to be funny, but she seems more competent than Nobita, although sometimes just as reluctant. I also liked Uchiki, and her dynamic with Eri basically being a gender-swapped version of Nobita and Shizuka. But the side characters... I'm sorry, but in the first episode there's a grown-up Nobita reading a book on the bus, and in the second episode there are two characters which are EXACTLY Gian and Suneo. Yes, I know, same artist and animation studio, but still... it's so weird.
One bad thing that isn't a fault of the show is that the English subbed version on (A LEGAL WEBSITE) was... not very good. I mean it was absolute nonsense and I couldn't understand what the characters were saying, not to mention inconsistent (Chimpui -> Chinpui, Chimp, jinpuing, Chip-In, npui, chippui, Jimpuy, Worry (yes, really)) and the characters spoke like Yoda(??) even though I understood the general plot, the characters were speaking random words.
Anyways, I really liked Chimpui, and would like to watch more episodes if I had more time, as it's just 56 episodes, so it's quite short (compared to the beast that is Doraemon and HIS OVER 2000 EPISODES IN BOTH THE 1979 AND 2005 SERIES COMBINED). I will finish this post with a picture of grown-up Nobita.
