Recap / Doraemon

The Doraemon comic was published in 45 Japanese volumes. Some additional stories were included in Doraemon+, Doraemon Color Works, and The Complete Works of Fujiko F. Fujio. Most of these comics were released in English across 200 volumes.

The 1973 series has 52 episodes, the 1979 series has ‎1787 episodes and 30 specials, and the 2005 series has over 500 episodes and counting. Many TV episodes are adapted from the comics, and those episodes are described at the pages for the original comics. Some stories are entirely unique to the TV show, and they are listed as TV Originals.

Due to the series' longevity and the fact that many episodes suffer from No Export for You and/or Keep Circulating the Tapes, recapping the TV show will be very difficult! Any contributions you can make to this page are greatly appreciated.

Don't read these pages if you're concerned about spoilers.
