I have to confess, I really don't like Doraemon at all.

Every single issue has the same plot:

1) Nobita has a trivial or semi-trivial problem.

2) Nobita goes to Doraemon for a quick-fix solution to his problem.

3) Doraemon produces some kind of magical device that will fix Nobita's problem, but warns Nobita that there's a catch or a drawback.

4) Nobita uses the device to solve his problem, overdoes it and generally makes a mess of everything.

5) Nobita learns absolutely nothing from his experience.

@Jesse in Japan: Delete the word "magical" from your 3rd entry and you've described the basic plotline of 95% of American sitcoms. (Put magical back in and you've described the remaining 5%.)

Am I the only one who thinks that Nobita would have been much better off if his grandson had never sent Doraemon from the future to "look after" him?

@Jesse in Japan: Didn't you read the first volume when Doraemon was first introduced? He showed pictures of a future in which Nobita married Giant's unattractive sister, Hana, and was mired in debt.

@Hello Mister Walrus: Is Nobita really better off for not having married Hana? He and she looked very happy together in the picture that his grandson showed him.

Also, who among us isn't mired in debt?

SO he's pretty much the Japanese version of a Pedobear, but he has gadget that make him able to make sex dolls of tiny children? Those sick bastards don't stop, do they?!

@ZIZIZ: Looks more voodoo sadistic than pedophilic.

@ZIZIZ: Dude, Doraemon is one of the most famous cartoon characters in Asia. He's like a Japanese Mickey Mouse. I had around 40 volumes of Doraemon comics when I was growing up (each was around 160 pages). TIME magazine named him one of its 2002 Asian Heroes, along with Jackie Chan and Aung San Suu Kyi.

Strangely though, some of the mid-to-late issues were strangely pedophilic in that they had full frontal nude shower shots of the female character, Shizuka (with nipples). That always puzzled me. I'll see if I can find any internet references about his peculiarity.
