Synopsis

Doraemon is cat shaped robot from the future traveling all the way back to the 20th century in order to help Nobi Nobita, a lazy kid with nothing really going for him. Nobi is bad at sports, his grades are terrible, he can't even win a match of rock-paper-scissors. Doraemon has a hard task ahead of him but he is well prepared with a huge arsenal of the most inventive and funny gadgets available. The problem is he's not the most competent robot cat helper out there either and the pair gets in constant trouble because of it. Thus begins one of the most interesting friendships ever to appear in a manga series.

This is the first manga i've ever read.
I was 5 years old that time.
This manga makes my childhood amazing.
This is great manga for kids.
The story is easy to understand.
The creativity of this manga is good to kids.
The art is still good even at this era, this kind of manga don't need amazing art or great art detail.
Because what kids need is an inspiring story, creative story and full of imagination.
But don't think this is just for kids, everybody can read this, everybody can enjoy this.

I couldn't explain it anymore with words.
If you have children, give him/her this manga to read.
They will read more

Preliminary

To be honest, I've read this Doraemon series since I was 4-year old. And now I'm 18-year old, and I'm still enjoys this masterpiece. It has been about 14 years now. Fujio.F.Fujiko is the creator of this series. To me, he is the most respectable mangaka to me. I can't say that manga this day are not worth reading, but just few of them can really buried deep inside our heart for long time. Doraemon is the one of the few one. This series deserve more than just 10 marks, if you ask me. This series can really change our ways of thinking in adult days if we read it since we are little kids. I don't ask you to believe in my words but it seems this way to me. We will become kinder than other peoples who don't actually read this series. I've compare the personality between the peoples who read or watch this series with the peoples who doesn't. The differences in their personality in absolute. Don't believe in me? Try to compare it yourself. This series does have many morale values in it. It can be comparable to the fairy tales we heard since we are kids. Enough of this, I will starts with the story parts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~SToRY~
The story plot is repetitive, if you ask me. So this is why i can't give it a 10 for it. Considering the number of stories story that Fujio.F.Fujiko writes in his manga for 45 volumes, you can't really criticize it. As long that the story is interesting, why we bother about the plots? All of his short stories is amazing, and I can't really get bored of it. The repetitive sides you ask me? This is the examples:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another peaceful ordinary day - Nobita gets bullied by Giant and Suneo - Nobita seeks for helps from Doraemon to teach them a lesson - Doraemon agreed and takes out the future equipment - Nobita use the equipment on Giant and Suneo and successfully takes the revenge - Nobita started to get cocky and misused the equipment that Doraemon gave him - After sometimes the equipment's effects backfired on Nobita - At last Nobita regret for his own action.
Morale Value: Don't bully other people. Karma exist in this world!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The plot is same for MOST of his stories. Nothing can be said but who cares? The stories made me laugh and laugh again! Although the plot is same, but the equipments they use in every stories are different. I've actually envied Fujio-F-Fujiko for his imagination to invented such an interesting future equipment. They have an interesting appearances, so are their function. That is what can I said for his short stories. Other than short stories, Fujio.F.Fujiko also write some long stories version for this series. This is the most interesting parts for this series. Nobita and his friends go on for an adventure, meet a new friend, beat the bad guys... OK. For his long stories, the comedy is no longer the only things that made this series interesting. They also focus on the friendship and the importances of co-operation while do something big. The ending for the stories was always touching and will make you satisfied with it. So the story part deserve 10 for me. For me, the stories in this series was not only meant for children, but also for adults that can really understands the true meaning of this series. Screw the manga+(anime)doraemon=childish theory! But, honestly Doraemon long stories series nowadays are sucks because it is not Fujio.F.Fujiko that writes the scripts. The old series is the best.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~aRT~
The art is neat, simple and clean. The panels inside the manga also neat and makes you read it easier. This is what makes this series special. The world inside it was almost 2-D, but realistic. Tell you all, I polish my drawing skill by take this series as the reference when I was small because it was simple and understandable. Compared to manga nowadays that focused on 3-D drawing, shadow details and whatever,this manga simply can't compared to them. But as you know, this manga is 70's style and it can be considered beautiful at that time. So without hesitate, I give it 10.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~CHaRaCTeR~
Simply great. All of the characters have their own uniqueness in their attutude and style. Big hearted Doraemon, kind but slacker Nobita, diligent and kind hearted Shizuka, timid but trickster Suneo and Giant the bully. The characters in this series can be considered as pure because their heart can be easily read by all of the readers comparable to the manga characters nowadays thats are impure and unpredictable, even the main character such as they have demon in their heart. This can be influential to the prematures mind , just because they can't differentiate the good and bad things. Put aside good and bad influential, I've realize that some characters in certain manga or anime that does not special at all --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~eNJoYMeNT~
I can't say much about this but oh well, full marks to it. I believe that I've already explained that why this series is enjoyable earlier. And nobody will read this manga for 14 years (like me) if this series is not enjoyable. This is all that I can say.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~oVeRall~
Desrerve more than 10, so I'll give it an 11 for the rating on this masterpiece. It is suitable for all, it is hilarious and it is enjoyable. So, nothing wrong with it. I've spend nearly 2 hours to write this reviews so anyone that read my reviews until the end, I was truly appreciate it. Thanks for reading! :)
