The first major push for change began as early as the 1980s. In the list of censored "Doraemon" episodes, it is noted that an episode titled "Donbura Powder" was censored, and its bathing scene "that showed the butt was cut out," with the ban being lifted only later in 1989. Similarly, the episode "Kachin Kachin Light" was canceled because the 1979 version depicted Shizuka's nude body and nipples in "a more stimulating way than usual". This indicates that even during the peak of the franchise's popularity in the 20th century, the content was being scrutinized, and standards of self-regulation were being debated.
It's essential to approach such topics with an understanding of cultural context and the target audience of the series. "Doraemon" is primarily aimed at children, which influences the content and themes explored in the manga and anime.
