Talk:Doraemon (Missing 1973 Anime Series)/@comment-24319325-20150428144647/@comment-24319325-20150429221340

Well, the issue with the remaining/found episodes seems to be that since the NTV studio is no more, no one really knows what can be done about the copyrights. It's a difficult situation, and with how so many other episodes are missing, they may truly be lost.

It appears the 1973 series was only rebroadcast once in 1979, sometime before series 2, but Shogakukan ordered it pulled as the exposure of the old series could harm the reputation of the new anime.
