Finding a complete, verified raw collection of the 1979 series is notoriously difficult due to several archival hurdles: The Early "Short" Format
Because regions like Vietnam, India, and China embraced Doraemon heavily, global digital sub-communities frequently hold raw recordings. Passionate archivists frequently share spreadsheets detailing exactly which parts of their multi-hundred-gigabyte collections contain raw Japanese audio versus localized overdubs. Technical Benchmarks for a Verified Release
The 1979 series became a staple of Japanese childhoods and was influential in 60 countries. It followed the adventures of Doraemon and Nobita using futuristic gadgets from the 22nd century. The show went through multiple animation style changes, transitioning from hand-painted cells to digital in its later years.
If you obtain a file, check:
Because official, comprehensive box sets covering all 1,787 episodes do not exist globally, the preservation ecosystem relies on decentralized tracking platforms: 1. Internet Archive & Community Hubs
Sourced from 35mm film or high-quality video tape masters (some restored materials can be found on sites like Archive.org ). Challenges in Finding Raw 1979 Doraemon
Many older episodes featured background music, corporate sponsorships, or cultural references that were edited out of later international dubs or modern streaming releases.
For this blog post, we've consulted various verified sources, including:
Between 1995–1997, eight LaserDisc boxes were released, each containing 8–10 episodes. These are the highest-quality raw sources for those specific episodes (e.g., episodes 1–80 in near-lossless audio). Rips from LDs are often labeled “LD raw.”
Raw files are often verified by checking if the opening and ending credits have been removed. A verified raw will include the original broadcast opening and ending as they aired, usually with their original credit text intact (unless it is specifically labeled "NCOP" or "NCED").
Even though the 1979 series is largely intact, specific gaps keep the "verified" hunt alive. Certain seasonal television specials, promotional crossovers, and localized test pilots remain incredibly difficult to find.
