Production

All mini corners, partners, and next episodes previews in all episodes are cut to fit for the 30-minute block in International versions, except for Hong Kong, where they are cut to fit for the 15-minute block in its time slot.

Fujiko Fujio Productions (Fujiko-Pro), TV Asahi, and Shin-Ei Animation produced the U.S. English dub that aired on Disney XD U.S. together with Bang Zoom! Entertainment.

LUK Internacional commissioned Red Angel Media to produce the short-lived U.K. dub that aired on Boomerang UK.

Animation Update

In 2017, it was announced that anime will be received an animation update. Starting with episode 490, airing on July 28, 2017.

Changes include:

Differences between the 1979 version, manga and current anime

  • Nobisuke is almost never seen smoking in the 2005 anime because of the current censorship in Japan, despite being shown smoking often in the manga.
    • Cigarettes almost never appear in the 2005 anime, while in 1979 anime, they appear in several episodes.
  • All of Doraemon's gadgets that resembled medicine were changed to different appliances due to inappropriate or drugs references and avoiding violence of children, or the current censorship in Japan.
    • Such as Slow Fast pill replaced with the Slow Fast perfume.
  • In the episode The Tale of Nobita's Dream, the disks are different each version excluding the Instructor disk and Teenager Drama (Chase the Sun in the USA English dub) disk:
    • West Cowboy disk in the 1979 series, but was replaced by A Pirate Story disk in the 2005 series.
    • Sci-Fi disk has huge difference in the 1979 series and 2005 series (while 1979 series has Star Wars reference/themed).
    • Superhero Adventure disk was added as the 2005 series exclusive.
  • The fillers vary in some episodes.
  • Unlike the 1979 anime which had its own opening in the Middle East, but 2005 anime has Yume wo Kanaete Doraemon were dubbed in Arabic, but some backgrounds were blanked out due to 1979 anime has a different name called Abqoor, which means Little Genius. The first episode card is translated into Arabic in 2005 anime while 1979 anime has black background with Arabic texts.
