I Hate Nobita

I used to watch Doraemon a lot during my childhood, but one thing made me decide that I would never watch it again was Nobita. I have always disliked his character. He is too much of a crybaby, incredibly dumb, selfish, and, at times, even creepy. However, when it came to stalking or sexually harassing Shizuka, he was always two steps ahead. He was a complete loser—terrible at studies, failing every subject in school, despite his parents having high expectations for him. Yet, he constantly let them down, along with himself.

I know that, in the future, Nobita supposedly becomes a great scientist, but let's be honest—that's just a fairy tale with no real-world logic. How does someone who has been a failure his entire life, never putting in any effort, suddenly overcome all obstacles and become a scientist just because of Doraemon? It’s unrealistic. No amount of futuristic gadgets can magically turn an unmotivated, lazy boy into a genius. Success requires dedication, effort, and hard work—none of which Nobita ever demonstrated.Dekhisugi was a good character but he was always sidelined by the showmakers. So, as much as Doraemon was entertaining, I could never get over how frustrating and undeserving Nobita's character felt, which is why I ultimately stopped watching the show, and started watching Kiteretsu.
