Ojamajo Doremi
Doraemon
Stuff of legends If you were a child growing up outside of the USA during the late 70s to the late 80s, then you will remember this gem. I grew up believing that my desk drawer is actually a time machine in which a blue robotic cat would spring out and rescue me from my mundane life. I always marveled at how future-thinking Fujiko F. Fujio was, thinking up of remote controlled airplanes and supercomputers and whatnot. But what about the inventions? Anyone would remember the Anywhere Door. How about the Lost-Item Purse? The Big Light? The Air Cannon? The Take Copter? The Tablecloth that grants what you order? The list goes on and on. A masterpiece of Japanese animation. It's been my dream to translate at least a part of Doraemon, and my chance came with the 2003 and 2006 movies. The 2003 movie is a typical adventure story, but with the Doraemon characters kicking ass. The 2006 movie will bring a tear to anyone who's read Nobita's Dinosaur. I hope you all enjoy our efforts. To the uninitiated, there's a nice article on Wikipedia to get you started. But the magic lies in the nostalgia, and there is no way to replicate that. |
