Stand by Me Doraemon (2014)
Is Doraemon ending this summer?
Sewashi and Doraemon find themselves way back in time and meet Nobita. It is up to Doraemon to take care of Nobita or else he will not return to the present.
In Stand by Me Doraemon, consciousness is carried by machines — a plane of “future-robot helper”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing technology, consciousness, family, education, growth.
