Doraemon/YMMV


 * Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy: Can cause it for some due to the heaps of unlikable characters who always punish Nobita to extreme proportions, and Nobita himself being a whiny Jerkass. Thankfully downplayed in the new series and completely averted in the movies.
 * Ear Worm: The opening, Doraemon No Uta.
 * Fridge Logic: long time readers may sometimes be left asking why Doraemon didn't use his other gadgets to get himself/Nobita/others out of their predicament.
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff : In Indonesia, being a Gateway Series to Japanese animation and manga in general. And HOW. It's also quite the hot stuff in Spain, having aired since almost as early as in Japan and still going strong.
 * Memetic Mutation: (Image Boards such as 2ch have turned Doraemon himself into an Eldritch Abomination called Tanasinn.)
 * Nightmare Fuel: The episode where Doraemon uses this moonbeam flashlight that turns anyone it shines on into a Werewolf. Doraemon scares Nobita after he retreats to his room after watching a scary movie.
 * Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Many people in the new series:
 * Nobita himself went from an insufferably bratty Jerkass (with a heart of gold, but still), to a much more likable Nice Guy like in the movies. His redesign also helped.
 * His mother was considered an abusive Jerkass fond of Disproportionate Retribution, but she gets toned down due to Values Dissonance, emphasizing her redeeming qualities in the process.
 * Even Gian and Suneo get some of this. While still being bullies to Nobita, there's more times they act like actual friends to him and join him in his adventures, and generally being not nearly as mean-spirited as before.
 * Tear Jerker: Any episode about Nobita's grandma.
 * And the episode where Shizuka adopts a doll and asks Doraemon to make her a sentient one so they can find its owner...
 * The episode where Nobita accidentally called a Snow Spirit. They started as a friend until the spirit became a Clingy Jealous Girl towards Nobita and forced him to play hours in a snow storm. Nobita caught a very bad fever as the result. Knowing she really liked Nobita and felt bad that Nobita got sick because of her, she sacrificed herself to heal Nobita's fever and in exchange she had to vanished with the winter and spring came early instead.
 * The movie where a portal to another dimension forms under a floor tile in Nobita's room. Doraemon finds a love interest there, and said portal gets destroyed at the end of the movie, severing Doraemon from ever being able to visit his love interest ever again. The movie's Award Bait tear jerker of a theme song (played as the portal vanishes) brings on the full effect.
 * And of course, the final chapter of Volume 6 of the manga, as well as the first chapter of Volume 7. Which was adapted into a half-hour long TV special in two parts.
 * Some of the fan-written endings mentioned above as well. Especially the infamous "happy ending", when the  There is a reason the fanbase were so convinced it was canon that they were emailing the publisher asking them to verify and/or animate it.
 * Technically, each movies had good share amount of this and Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
