Description
Robot girl hijinks from the creator of Dragon Ball!
When goofy inventor Senbei Norimaki creates a precocious robot named Arale, his masterpiece turns out to be more than he bargained for!
In the epic "Penguin Village Wars," Arale and friends must battle the forces of evil: two alien buttheads and a megalomaniac armed with robotic poop. Elsewhere, Senbei's helper robot force-feeds him ramen, a carjacker refuses to ride with bad drivers, and a miniature house controls destinies in the real world.
