description Doraemon Overview

Nobita Nobi is so hapless that his 22nd century decendants are still impoverished as a result of his 20th century bumbling. In a bid to raise their social status, their servant, a robotic cat named Doraemon, decides to travel back in time and guide Nobita on the proper path to fortune. Unfortunately Doraemon, a dysfunctional robot that the familly acquired by accident (but chose to keep nonetheless), isn't much better off than Nobita. The robot leads Nobita on many adventures, and while Nobita's life certainly is more exciting with the robot cat from the future, it is questionable if it is in fact better in the way that Doraemon planned.

help Doraemon FAQ

Why was Doraemon sent back in time to help Nobita?

Nobita's poor decisions leave his descendants burdened by debt, so his great-great-grandson Sewashi sends Doraemon into the past. The robotic cat is expected to improve Nobita's future with tools from the 22nd century.

Why doesn't Doraemon's Anywhere Door solve every problem?

Doraemon has powerful gadgets such as the Anywhere Door, Take-copter, and Time Machine, but Nobita often misunderstands or abuses them. Most stories turn the gadget's convenient shortcut into a larger problem that the characters must undo.

Does Nobita eventually marry Shizuka?

The future repeatedly shown across the franchise has Nobita marrying Shizuka Minamoto. Stories such as Nobita's the Night Before a Wedding explore that outcome while leaving the school-age status quo intact.

Which Doraemon anime should a new viewer start with?

Doraemon has multiple television adaptations, including long-running versions launched in 1979 and 2005. The 2005 series is the modern production, while many films tell self-contained adventures suitable for viewers who know the basic cast.
