Nippon TeleMovie Productions (日本テレビ動画) (also known as NTV Douga) was a Japanese animation studio that operated for eight years. It is most famous for producing the 1973 adaptation of Fujiko Fujio's Doraemon.
History
The production company Kokuei Co., Ltd. in 1965 founded a separate department for TV animation, which was spun off the following year as Nippon Broadcast Video[1] under the leadership of Kiyoshi Watanabe from Tokyo Movie with Fight! Osper and lasted with the name until 1968. It changed its name to Tokyo TV Douga and produced numerous gekiga anime.[2]
Like Sunrise, it did not have its own animators. Instead, they relied on outsourcing and freelance. Many famous veterans like Yoshiyuki Tomino and Nobuhiro Okaseko worked for them.[3]
It changed its name to Nippon TeleMovie Productions in November 1971, after Nippon Television divested all of its ownership after it was found that a producer in NTV, Kensuke Fuji, was part of a financial scandal. [4] In 1973, Kiyoshi Watanabe left and disappeared. The studio declared bankruptcy and dissolved on 30 September 1973, during the last episode of Doraemon. As of now, most of its anime are lost media.
