Review: Doraemon (1979 Series) – The Definitive Raw Experience
Verdict: ★★★★★ (5/5) – The Purest Way to Experience a Classic
Lost Content: While most of the 1,787 episodes are accounted for, some early segments and special episodes are considered lost media or are unavailable on official home media.
Get a Checksum Tool: On Windows, use CertUtil -hashfile [filename] MD5. On Mac/Linux, use md5sum [filename].
Find the Original Hash: Cross-reference the file on a database like AniDB.net. Search for the episode number (e.g., "Doraemon 1979 Ep 001"). Click the "Files" tab. AniDB lists every verified raw file hash from the "Anonymous" or "E-D" groups.
Match: If your MD5 hash matches AniDB’s listing, you have a 100% verified raw.
As many of you know, the 1979 series produced by Shin-Ei Animation is the most iconic era of the franchise, spanning over 1,700 episodes. Finding "verified" raws can be difficult due to the age of the tapes, but this collection has been cross-referenced for consistency and visual fidelity. Format: [Insert Format, e.g., MKV/MP4] Audio: Original Japanese (AAC/AC3)
Episode Volume: With nearly 1,800 episodes, a complete raw set exceeds 500GB in decent quality (H.264 encodes). Few seeders maintain that much data.
Language Barrier: Most raw archives are labeled in Japanese Kanji (e.g., ドラえもん 1979 生放送). If you search only in English, you will find nothing.
The "Verified" Problem: Public sites (Nyaa, etc.) have raws, but many are unverified—they are VHS-to-digital conversions with dropped frames or audio desync. Verified files usually live behind private tracker walls (U2, AnimeBytes, BakaBT).
