5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfied customer
I'm very happy with this Doraemon DVD. The DVD case was cracked just as the seller has honestly stated in their ad, and so I was not surprised when I recieved the packet. Regardless, I enjoyed watching the cartoons very much :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Mandarin cartoons for kids but not for English speakers
I've loved Doraemon comics since I was a kid in Taiwan. I was thrilled to find the cartoons on DVD. There are 9 episodes per DVD and 8 DVDs in this set, for a total of 72 episodes. Each episode is about 7 minutes. The episodes are very true to the original comics-- they basically animated the comic books. I have several of the comic books (traditional Chinese translation...

This review is from: Doraemon DVD Complete Collection Boxset 72 Episodes (8 DVD) (DVD)
I've loved Doraemon comics since I was a kid in Taiwan. I was thrilled to find the cartoons on DVD. There are 9 episodes per DVD and 8 DVDs in this set, for a total of 72 episodes. Each episode is about 7 minutes. The episodes are very true to the original comics-- they basically animated the comic books. I have several of the comic books (traditional Chinese translation from Taiwan) which were turned into cartoon episodes, and the dialog, drawings, plot are exactly the same. The Mandarin soundtrack is very well done, and some of the Chinese subtitles are good. Sometimes the Chinese subtitles are inaccurate. Sound and image quality are decent. However, the English subtitles are outrageously bad-- full of nonsensical phrases, awful grammar, spelling and vocabulary errors. These English subtitles were poor translations of badly translated Chinese. Fortunately the kids and I understand Mandarin, but we can't enjoy Doraemon with our non-Chinese-speaking friends due to the terrible English subtitles.

I can't comment on the Japanese since I don't know any Japanese.

Since Doraemon is called "xiao ding dang" in this series, I will guess that these are old cartoons dubbed into Mandarin for the Taiwanese audience from the 1980s.

I'm very happy to have these DVDs but disappointed by the poor English subtitles.

Made in China with pretty poor sound quality on the Japanese. The English subtitles are obviously done by Chinese manufacturer who sought no help from a native speaker (good for comedy value, but not so great if you actually want to watch the series). But hey, it is a good lot of Doraemon cartoons.

This set of videos is great! Doraemon is adorable, and has many fun adventures with Nobita. My kids love watching it. (This DVD set WILL work on American DVD players.)

3.0 out of 5 stars slow shipping and not what i expected, August 11, 2010

This review is from: Doraemon DVD Complete Collection Boxset 72 Episodes (8 DVD) (DVD)
i already bought a doreamon dvd set before however the long adventure of doreamon from my old dvd set doesnt have english subtitle thats y i tried to look for another one with english subtitle. I went to amazon and i found this dvd set, i was very happy it had 8 discs instead of 4 discs that i have for my old dvd set so i decided to buy it. I waited and waited and waited finally after about 10 days i got my new dvd set. I was still very excited until i play the first disc, it doesnt have much episodes (only about 9) and i could quickly finish the first one. Unlike the dvd set that i had before it took me like many days to finish one disc lol. And theres no long adventure at all :-s totally disappointed :@
