One of my favourite anime is finally getting another movie, after one of the most anticipated movies in 2014 (Doraemon: Stand by Me), this time there's a new Doraemon movie called "Doraemon the Movie: Nobita and the Space Heroes(ドラえもん　のび太の宇宙英雄記（スペースヒーローズ)". This movie commemorates the 35th anniversary of Doraemon (1979) anime series and 10th anniversary of Doraemon (2005) movie. Without further a due, i'm going to jump straight to the story. 

The story starts when Doraemon, Nobita, Suneo, Shizuka, and Gian wants to make a film about some Galactic Superheroes they watched on TV. But then, a boy named Aron from another planet saw them shooting the film and was convinced that they are the real superheroes. Aron then alerts them about his planet who was attacked by Space Pirates and asked Doraemon and his friends to help him save his planet. They agree to help as they thought that this is still a part of the movie, but it's not as easy as it looks to be a real superheroes.

The story itself isn't new or anything, it looks the same like the other Doraemon movie, where some guy from other planet seeks help to Doraemon and his friends. But the jokes on the movie make me laugh throughout the movie. The movie still has the classic jokes from the Doraemon movies and animes and of course Nobita's body gags are funny as ever.

Although the movie is an adaptation from the "Nobita's Space Heroes" comic and i've never read it before, but i suspect the story is not so different with the movie's. The other good thing is the author of the movie still keeps the classic animation style from the anime and brings the better of it. And for your information, this movie topped the Japan's Box Office during the opening weekend earning US$ 5.3 million, wow!

Overall, this movie is very funny and suitable for all ages with the simple story. For you who had a stressful day from work, you have to watch this to refresh your mind. That's it from me, as always thank you for reading this blog and don't forget to share! Thank you!
