Doraemon '05 (partially found British dub of anime series; 2015)
Doraemon is a 2005 anime series based on the popular manga series of the same name created by Fujiko F Fujio. The plot surrounds Doraemon, a cat-like robot who gets sent back in time to help Nobita Nobi, and save him from a bad future.
History
On July 17th, 2015, the LUK International website for Doraemon announced that the series would start airing on Boomerang in the UK on August 17th, 2015 at 7:30am. This was also announced on the Boomerang website as well. The dub was produced by LUK International and was recorded and dubbed at Red Angel Media in Hong Kong.[1]
The dub was different from the Disney XD dub, such as being more faithful towards the original Japanese scripts for translation, and having the original Japanese music and episode order.
The dub was on boomerang UK for 2 months before being removed, then it came back for a extra 2 months before ultimately being removed from the lineup sometime in 2016, along with the page for the dub on the Boomerang website.[2]
Cast
- Sarah Hauser as Doraemon

Availability
The dub was considered a failure in the English market and was taken out of the Boomerang lineup in early 2016 as mentioned previously. Due to the failure of the dub, it did not last very long and did not have much archival for it.
While a handful of recordings have resurfaced, the rest of the dub is still lost as of 2023. It is also not known if some episodes were left undubbed or not.[3]
