Why Sazae-san and Doraemon Avoid Modern Updates: Exploring Timeless Themes in Anime
Reader’s Question:
Why does Sazae-san remain set in the Showa era, and why doesn’t Doraemon feature smartphones? I think it would be better if they were updated like Detective Conan and Crayon Shin-chan, with modern settings and furniture, and it would be more interesting if Doraemon had a smartphone too.
