Reception

[edit ]

The series was said to be "little more than a respray of the creators' earlier and far more successful Doraemon."[4] The Review Geek indeed noted that, "In some instances, Kiteretsu Encyclopedia feels like a Doraemon clone. This series not only shares the same creator as Doraemon; it follows a similar episodic premise involving a robot and a human. This show includes a cartoon-like art style and is an enjoyable series to watch when you feel stressed or worn out."[5]

The same media wrote that the series "relie[d] on its charming family dynamics and varied humor to keep the audience entertained."[6]
