Well Im in it now. Makin a review on this site best make it good enough to read. https://i.ur.com/puVGpQ5.jpg Ojamajo Doremi or Useless Witch Doremi or Magical DoReMi who thought that was a fitting name while dubbing? is a magical girl anime produced by Toei of that big anime studio fame in 1999 planned only for one season. Ojamajo Doremi tells the story of Harukaze Doremi and her greatest wish to be a witch heh as if magic were real Oh wait shit she outed a suspicious woman named Makihatayama Rika selling magic goods as a witch turning her into a Witch Frog and becoming a witch apprentice as a result. The shy rich girl Fujiwara Hazuki and the athletic Naniwaku transfer student Senoo Aiko also join the team after finding these things out as well. What unfolds is an episodic series focusing on solving peoples problems that they accidentally happened to create or come across along with furthering their own abilities through exams and even helping out for free at the Mahodou so Majo Rika doesnt have to be an alcoholic anymore. Its not exactly a modern monsteroftheweektype magical girl anime and it actually leans more into older magical girl anime storytelling surprisingly which I think helps it stand out a fair bit more. The main characters get developed really well through these almost repetitive arcs due to strong writing and strong performances and even the entirety of class 32 gets developed which very much gives me Great Teacher Onizuka vibes Which is another anime Id recommend but its completely tonally different. There are also some overarching subplots introduced however they along with the main plot really do not take center stage as at its core Ojamajo Doremi is about all kinds of kids growing up and figuring out how to deal with their problems as well as adults. Somehow this show got super popular which makes a lot of sense given just how much effort and care was put into this show to make audiences continue watching and as things tend to happen.Sequels. But Ill get there when I get there. Personally over the course of these 51 episodes I happened to fall in love with this anime from seeing a joke piece of art months ago to finding out the artist and name of the anime and now to finally finishing it I can safely say that this is a good anime that deserves its popularity you seen those painted backgrounds yet? Its also kinda hard to spoil this anime as theres a lot of detail within each episode that stays for later use but still somehow feels selfcontained? And the only big changes dont actually impact much aside from gradual differences but it still stays pretty much the same throughout. https://i.ur.com/VaBD5ut.jpg I am afraid of how long itll take for Doremi to take over my life once I get to that new film. Happy Lucky Minna no totoke
