Doraemon

Doraemon is the very first animated Japanese movie I watched. I was about 5 years old when I saw this cute "robot" cat creature on the cover of an anime book at my favorite bookstore, and I begged my parents to buy it for me. After that, I began to collect more Doraemon novels and started to watch its tv series.

Doraemon itself was first appeared in December 1969 and was first published simultaneously in six different magazines. Created by Fujiko F. Fujio, doraemon is a "robot" cat who travel back in time from 22nd century to the 21st century to help and guide a normal schoolboy named Nobita.

Throughout his life, Nobita has lots of misfortune. And he fails in most subjects at school and unfortunately, he does not have a good career and always have financial trouble. And this trouble is inherited to his children and greatchildren and his whole family line, so Nobita's great-great-grandson sends Doraemon to Nobita hoping that this robot will bring 'luck' to Nobita and alter his history.

Each Doraemon story covers moral lessons and as a child, I learn a lot about integrity, family, perseverance, team-work, dedication and diligence.

Even though I don't watch nor read Doraemon book / tv show anymore, however, I still remember heaps of stories about him.
