In the first story, we're introduced to Senbei Norimaki, a brilliant inventor living in the small town known as Penguin Village. He's just finished his latest invention, a robot named Arale, who's made to look and act like a little girl... However, she quickly becomes a handful. Will Senbei be able to cater to her every whim, or will he go crazy before doing so? In the second story, night has fallen on Penguin Village, and Senbei informs Arale that she must go to bed and get a good night's rest in order to prepare for her first day of school in the morning. At school, she shows an incredible level of genius which manages to impress the likes of a fellow classmate named Akane.

S1 E2 • Arale choisit une discipline sportive / Arale s'interroge sur son nombril
In the first story, Arale tries out for various clubs at Penguin Village middle-school, but ends up over-excelling in all of them. Which club will she ultimately choose? In the second story, Arale tells Senbei she's missing a vital part of her body that the other girls in her class had, and she wants the doctor to make one for her. However, Senbei has never seen a lady's private parts before, so he doesn't have any reference to use to create any for Arale. Thus, he invents x-ray goggles which allow the wearer to see only living matter, meaning one can see through a person's clothes. Senbei uses this invention to conduct research on some women in the park. In the end, it turns out the body part Arale was talking about was actually a belly button.
