Even though it's not really popular in the west, Doraemon is a very influential series in the east. For example, in 2002, Doraemon was featured along Aung San Suu Kyi and Hamid Karzai as one of the 22 heroes featured in a special edition of Time Magazine on Asian Heroes. In a truly surreal moment, Doraemon has been designated by the [[Real Life]] Prime Minister of Japan as the Ambassador between the cartoon world and Japan, with the ceremony including a to-scale model of Doraemon.
Line 44:
* [[The Ace]]: Dekisugi. Not only he is the smartest kid in the school, he is also relatively athletic and is a [[Chick Magnet]].
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: In the anime,Shizaku hair was brown. Even though the manga cover shows her hair as black. Changed back to black in the 2005 anime.
* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: One of the 2005 anime notable feature. Example is Nobita start off as plain(when he compared himself to Dekisugi) In 2005? Is revealed to have [[What Beautiful Eyes!|quite nice eyes]] under that glass.
** Shizuka start off as quite cute and is much cuter
** The remake episode of the Lying Mirror pronounce this much more.
Line 54:
* [[Bag of Holding]]: Doraemon owns one - Other robots similar to Doraemon also seem to have one as well.
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: Averted quite a bit -- Nobita's penis is even visible in earlier Fujiko Fujio mangas. [[Values Dissonance|Despite being for children.]] It is, however, important to note that the manga is completely lacking in [[Fan Service]] outside of [[Parental Bonus]] -- all nudity is [[Played for Laughs]]. Of course, this is [[Values Dissonance]].
* [[The Bermuda Triangle]]: In one [[Non -Serial Movie]], the heroes discover that the anomalies in this region are because of the Triangle being part of an ancient force-field, home to an AI gone insane.
* [[Bamboo Technology]]: "Hai! Takekoputaa!" The iconic ''take-copter'' literally means a "bamboo helicopter".
* [[Big Guy, Little Guy]]: Guess who? {{spoiler|Gian and Suneo, of course}}.
* [[Book Dumb]]: Nobita can be pretty smart at times, just look at the creative ways he uses Doraemon's tools!
* [[The Bible (Literature)|The Bible]]: Referenced surprisingly a lot for a sci-fi title. Most of them revolve around [[Magic From Technology|creating Biblical miracles with future technology]]. And [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien|playing God]].
Line 74:
* [[Dreadful Musician]]: Gian has horrible, devastating singing ability. Shizuka plays a violin as bad as Gian's singing.
** Heck, one episode even has Suneo make up a conspiracy theory about a guy ''using Gian's voice for assasinating people''.
* [[Expy]]: Some of Doraemon's gadgets are very similar to gadgets from other series, either in function or in appearance. For example, the Moshimo Box is a [[Doctor Who (TV)|red telephone booth]] that can essentially jump dimensions.
* [[Fairy Tale Motifs]]: All over the place, Most notably "Doraemon: Nobita's Mermaid Legend" follows the Basic Plot/Theme of [[The Little Mermaid]] in Sophia's arc to a [[Happily Ever After]].
* [[Fartillery]]: One manga episode deals with Nobita trying to come up with a neat trick for a New Year's talent show. Doraemon gave him a bunch of sweet potatoes that, when eaten, produces melodic 'gas'. Unfortunately, Doraemon forgot to tell him not to eat more than one at a time...
Line 123:
** The two [[Downer Ending|Downer Endings]] have been written into fanfiction [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3274425/1/Calling_Across_Time/ here] and [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4973354/1/In_His_Own_World/ here].
* [[No Export for You]]: Despite being a popular and classic anime series (if not ''the'' classic kids anime) that has [[Outlived Its Creator]], the series has never licensed for North American audiences, despite still going for 30 years.
* [[Non -Serial Movie]]: See the list above.
* [[Nostalgia Filter]]: Considering Nobita has a time machine in his desk, this gets occasionally brought up.
** Once, he reminiced on how much he missed the fun childhood playtimes with his now deceased grandmother, hence travelled back in time to see her again. Turns out he was quite a brat as a kid and frequently threw tantrums at the poor lady.
Line 133:
* [[Parental Bonus]]: Lets just say that 40 years later, a ''lot'' of Japanese authors and artists have thought up [[Ecchi|more risqué]] uses for the tools in Doraemon or other similar gadgets. In fact, an entire [[Magical Girlfriend|subgenre]] could be considered to have taken it's roots from taking the Doraemon toys and spinning them in a different light.
* [[Portal Door]]
* [[Professional Butt -Kisser]]: Suneo, mostly in relationship with Gian.
* [[The Remake]]: For newer audiences and to keep the series alive - with [[Art Evolution]] (and, unfortunately, more censorship).
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Doraemon himself, of course.
Line 145:
* [[Schrodinger's Butterfly]]: "The Reality Pillow"
* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: Doraemon's purpose for coming to the present time is to change Nobita's attitude, which will lead to the [[Bad Future]] mentioned above.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Lots, to its contemporaries and classics alike, and some even to Western pop culture. One notable one is to ''[[Galaxy Express 999]]'', whose [[Cool Train]] has been outmoded by the Anywhere Door.
** Another medium-length story have Nobita and Doraemon fight the bad guys from [[Star Wars]], including a Darth Vader parody. A good thing that those space races are much smaller than humans.
* [[Shower Scene]]: As a running gag, poor Shizuka never gets to finish a bath or shower, and takes them ''all the time''. Literally so, as she's tried in other ''time periods'', just to be interrupted by Nobita and Doraemon. Heck, a good percentage of his gadgets have very little purpose other than to peep on Shizuka, teleport to Shizuka, brainwash Shizuka into becoming a nudist, etc etc... Unfortunately, and to the annoyance of quite a few of the fans, said [[Shower Scenes]] are now [[Censor Steam|censored.]] [[Executive Meddling|Ineptly.]] Despite them being completely nonsexual in the original manga and anime.
