History Anime / CybotRobotchi

* {{Expy}}: With its character archetypes and LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters ethos, the anime overall plays out like ''Manga/DoctorSlump'' with elements of ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' and ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', though some characters are especially noteworthy:

** The show doesn't get nearly as explicit with Kurumi (who is stated to be a fifth-year elementary school student), but she ''does'' wear hot pants most of the time, taking after her sister, Sachiko, in that regard.

* {{Expy}}: With its character archetypes and LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters ethos, the anime overall plays out like ''Manga/DoctorSlump'' with a touch of ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', though some characters are especially noteworthy:

* LoveTriangle: Uzura loves Robotchi, who loves Kurumi. Uzura thus sees Kurumi as a rival, although she is considerably younger than Kurumi.

* ActionGirl: Sachiko (Sally) may be beautiful, but a ShrinkingViolet she isn't. She's the village's one-woman police department[[note]]though the English dub hints the village has other officers[[/note]], [[BadassBiker drives a motorcycle]], and knows karate. There's also [[CoolOldLady Tobigiri-Baasan ("Flying Kick Grandma")]], who, as her name suggests, [[WhenEldersAttack packs a mean flying kick]].

* DubNameChange: The English dub changes virtually all of the characters' names. For starters: Robotchi is Robby, Kurumi is Tiffany, Sachiko is Sergeant Sally, Uzura is Terri, High Brow is Horatio Percival Thorton III, Nancy and Sylvia are Tracy and Yvette, etc. Dr. Deco retains his name but is given the [[PunnyName punny first name]] Art.

** The show doesn't get nearly as explicit with Kurumi, but she ''does'' wear hot pants most of the time. This is, after all, a show created by a protege of Creator/GoNagai.
* PantyShot: This show has a character, Uzura, who developed eyes for Robotchi after he flipped up her skirt. She's a little kid, though, so it really isn't intended to titillate.

* {{Expy}}: The anime overall is very cleary inspired by ''Manga/DoctorSlump'', though some characters are especially noteworthy:

** Kurumi, despite being considerably younger, isn't immune to this either.
