was the first anime series based on Fujiko Fujio's manga of the same name. It was produced by Nippon TV Video (previously known as Japan Broadcast Film, and Tokyo TV Movie). It aired from April 1, 1973 to September 30 of the same year. After the anime ended, Doraemon remained exclusively a manga until 1979 when Shin-Ei Animation produced a second anime adaptation, which officially ended in 2005. The character designs in this anime adaptation are more stylized than the ones used in the second anime adaption, which were more faithful to the original manga. It also used a different theme tune from the 1979 anime and the 2005 anime, which seems to be influenced partly by the theme tune from the Pink Panther cartoons. Unlike the later Doraemon Anime, this Nippon TV version of the Anime never had a theatrical film (Most Japanese films in 1973 were live action). ==Summary== The series did well in the ratings and was considered to be extended for another year, but encountered budget issues during its run, compounded by financial problems that the studio had, as well as the president of Nippon TV Video abruptly resigning during the television run. The new president seemed to have no interest in anime, while the financial issues led to the studio going bankrupt and being dissolved. With the dissolution of Nippon TV Video, the film reels to the series and other possessions wound up sold off to cover debt, while other belongings in the studio and production materials were either discarded or destroyed in a kerosene fire. It has been erroneously reported that Nippon TV deliberately organized a "cremation" fire and destroyed all the episodes; however, the production chief Masami Jun (at the time credited under his real name, Hiroshi Shimosaki) has stated that this was not the case. In 1995, 16 episodes were found to be stored in Studio Rush (now known as IMAGICA), and other segments have been found, though 2 remain without their audio tracks. The opening and ending credits do still exist as well, along with a pilot film that was produced in 1972. These are occasionally shown at Doraemon fan conventions in Japan, but cannot be released legally on DVD owing to rights complications due to the production studio being defunct. It is unknown what may have happened to the other reels. This version was briefly rerun from July 24, 1979 to August 3 of the same year, but was abruptly pulled off television at the request of Shogakukan, who did not want the new adaptation's reputation to be affected by the existence of the previous one, or for younger viewers to be confused at the two different versions.〔ja:ドラえもん (1973年のテレビアニメ)〕 There is no official home video release. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doraemon (1973 anime)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
