As of 2025, TV Asahi holds the distribution and licensing rights to the series, as well as the previous television adaptation and the feature-length movies.

[18][19] With the shift, the majority of the personnel from the 1979 anime stepped down, and were replaced by a new team for the new series, as well as the original voice actors.

First revealed in June 2017, starting on July 28, 2017, with the episodes "I'm Mini Doraemon" and "The Elephant and the Uncle", the show got overhauled visually to use more vivid colors, which included the poster artwork.

Shinnosuke Yakuwa, who directed several of the Doraemon films, joined the production team as head director for the anime in 2018,[23] and was succeeded by Hirofumi Ogura in 2020.

Ultra Yoroi" was scheduled to be rebroadcast, but it was replaced with a montage of clips from the 1979 anime honoring Ōyama's contributions to the series and the episode "Wolfman Cream".

[26] On November 22, 2004, The Asahi Shimbun revealed in an exclusive article that the series' five voice actors were considered by the production team to be replaced by a group of newer, younger voice actors, with their roles slated to begin in April of the following year,[27][28][29] which was met with confusion and great public interest as the news of such a big change was very abrupt; many employees from TV Asahi learned about the news from the article, while the staff that worked on the anime were previously briefed.

One of the reasons for the new casting was because Nobuyo Ōyama, the original voice actress for Doraemon in the 1979 anime, wanted to step down since 2001 due to health issues she faced in July of that year.

Furthermore, Michiko Nomura, who voiced Shizuka in the 1979 anime, quit the longest-running series Sazae-san to focus more on her management position duties at her husband's Ken Productions studio and left alongside the original cast.

[27] The voice actors to the five main characters, Doraemon, Nobita, Shizuka, Gian, and Suneo, were chosen from a pool of 590 applicants.

Auditions for the series were held in order to select a voice that would best fit the original anime's atmosphere, starting in December 2004.

[30] Subaru was formerly a member of a children's theater group, but he had no experience as a voice actor, and one of the reasons he auditioned for the job was just to gain popularity in class.

[31][32] Wasabi Mizuta was chosen to play the title character and was approached by Kazuya Tatekabe, who had previously voiced Gian in the 1979 anime, to audition for the series.

Mizuta was initially concerned about being fired, due to the negative criticisms about the sudden change in voice actors, but after Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur 2006 released, she continued with the role.

[33] Yumi Kakazu acquired the part of Shizuka, after previously having auditioned for the roles of Doraemon, Suneo, Nobita and Gian.
