Plot
The series is the story of a scientific inventor boy genius named Eiichi (Also known as Kiteretsu), descendant of a great inventor named D. Kiteretsu, who has built a companion robot named Korosuke. He frequently travels in time with his friends and Korosuke in the time machine he built, he has friends such as Miyoko, a girl in his neighborhood who is his love interest, Buta Gorilla (Kumada Kaoru), a typical neighborhood bully and his friend, Tongari, who both often antagonize Korosuke (though they are in grade school).

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Kiteretsu's inventions are very creative and awesome looking.
 * 2) Superb animation.
 * 3) It's very faithful to the original manga.
 * 4) Awesome and interesting characters.
 * 5) Great music.
 * 6) *The theme song and ending songs, Oyome-san ni Natte Agenaizo & Magical Boy Magical Heart are very catchy.
 * 7) Many funny moments.
 * 8) It's pretty much the Dexter's Laboratory before Dexter's Laboratory.
 * 9) Well done voice-acting from people such as Toshiko Fujita, Mami Koyama, Kazuko Sugiyama, Hiroshi Ōtake & Naoki Tatsuta.
 * 10) Korosuke is a very cute and like-able character.
 * 11) The premise of a boy being a descendant of a great inventor is cool and original.
 * 12) The first episode of the series was very heartwarming, as Kiteretsu & Korosuke start to learn that they need to care about each other more.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Many people can consider it to be a Doraemon clone due to the very similar characters, however it can't be an rip-off since it was created by the same people.
 * 2) The 2 English dubs (1 made in India and the other made in the Philippines) of the show are very rare and hard to find.
 * 3) Korosuke can be clumsy sometimes.
 * 4) All of the video games based off of Kiteretsu Daihyakka, are terrible.
 * 5) The voice acting in the Indian English dub has very laughably bad voice acting due to their strong Indian accents, similar to the Indian English dubs of Ninja Hattori-kun and Perman.
