Ojamajo Doremi (おジャ魔女どれみ, lit. "Bothersome Witch Doremi"), alternatively titled Magical DoReMi in English,[2] is a Japanese fantasy magical girl anime television series created by Toei Animation. It focuses on a group of elementary school girls, led by Doremi Harukaze, who become witch apprentices. The series aired in Japan on TV Asahi between February 1999 and January 2003, spanning four seasons and 201 episodes, and was followed by an original video animation series released between June and December 2004. An English-language version of the first season, produced by 4Kids Entertainment, aired in North America in 2005.
Ojamajo Doremi has inspired two companion films, manga adaptations, video games, and a light novel sequel series. A 20th anniversary film titled Looking for Magical Doremi was released on November 13, 2020.[3][4]
Plot
Ojamajo Doremi
Doremi Harukaze, a third grade elementary school girl living in the fictional Japanese town of Misora, comes across the MAHODO (MAHO堂, lit. "House of Magic"), a magic shop, and accidentally discovers that its owner, Majo Rika, is a witch. Due to a curse placed on any witch whose identity is exposed by a human, Majo Rika is transformed into a witch frog. Wanting to return to her original form, Majo Rika makes Doremi her witch apprentice, giving her the ability to cast magic. In order to become a fully-fledged witch capable of turning Majo Rika back into a human, Doremi has to pass nine different witch tests, while also keeping her identity a secret from other humans. Doremi is soon joined by her two best friends, Hazuki Fujiwara and Aiko Seno, and later by her younger sister Pop Harukaze who all become witch apprentices, helping to run the Maho-Do whilst using magic to help out their friends and families. They soon come across a rival witch apprentice, Onpu Segawa, who has been using forbidden magic to influence people's memories. While initially cold towards the other girls, Onpu soon warms up to them. Finally they successfully pass the final test. However, their identities are revealed to their families and friends. Onpu wipes the memories of those that attempt to expose them to prevent their identities from being revealed. She uses forbidden magic too many times, losing control of it. In order to save Onpu from an eternal sleep, the girls give up their magical powers to awaken her.[5]
Ojamajo Doremi # (Sharp)
At the start of the fourth grade, Doremi and the others, who sneak into the Witch World to visit Majo Rika, witness the birth of a magical baby, who is given the name Hana and will be the candidate for the next queen. As witch law dictates that whoever witnesses a magical baby's birth must take care of it for a year, Doremi and the others are once again made witch apprentices, tasked with raising Hana. While also taking care of the Maho-Do, which has now become a gardening store, the girls must ensure Hana's growth and help her pass several health examinations held by the Witch World's head nurse, Majo Heart. Meanwhile, a wizard named Oyajide attempts to kidnap Hana to help aid the Wizard World, later enlisting the help of four young wizards known as the Flat 4, who tried to get close Doremi and the others to kidnap Hana, but liked them later. Finally, the witch apprentices help mend relations between the Witch and Wizard Worlds. However, Hana's powerful magic catches the past queen of the Witch World's attention, who slept in the cursed forest for some reason. She curses Hana to make her sick and only the Love Supreme Flower that grows in the cursed forest can heal her. In the end, Doremi and the others succeed in picking the flowers but are cursed to fall into eternal sleep. Then Hana wakes up them with her powerful magic and thoughts of them, but they also lose their witch identity.[6]
Mōtto! Ojamajo Doremi
As the Queen of the Witch World pleads to the other witch senates to make Doremi and the others witches again, half of the senates are opposed to the decision. Thus, the Queen offers a compromise in that the girls, who are made into apprentices again, must pass six patissière exams in order to become full witches. With the Maho-Do remodeled into a bakery, Doremi and the others are joined by Momoko Asuka, a returnee from America who initially has little experience with Japanese outside of using a special intercom, to help them bake sweets needed for their exams. Midway through the series, Hana is afflicted by a curse from the past queen again, causing her to have a dislike for vegetables which are necessary for her magical growth, prompting Doremi and the girls to get another chance to take care of Hana and help her get over her pickiness. After curing Hana's pickiness and passing the patissière exams, the girls appeal to the past queen, Majo Tourbillon, who had despised humans ever since she lost her human husband and grandchildren. They made her favorite dessert in her memory, the cake her husband made when he proposed to her, then she undoing a curse placed upon a forest, where her true form is found sleeping, protected by magical vines.[7]
OVA series, Ojamajo Doremi Na-i-sho!, takes place during this time frame.
Ojamajo Doremi Dokkān!
Hana, who has gotten bored of the Witch World and wants to be with Doremi and the others, uses all of her magic to instantly grow up and become a sixth grader. This results in the Maho-Do being transformed into a crafts shop and Hana's magical crystals shattering, requiring Doremi and the others to supply her with the energy needed to become a witch apprentice. Meanwhile, the Queen discovers Majo Tourbillon's power will eventually cause all worlds to be put to sleep. As such, the Queen tasks the girls, who are assisted by Majo Tourbillon's fairy, Baba, to recreate various handmade gifts that Majo Tourbillon's six grandchildren had made and received from her in order to remind her of the happy times and break the vines imprisoning her. The vines soon start spawning black flowers that cause people and magical beings alike to be affected with laziness, with the girls enlisting the help of Hana and a white elephant named Pao to put a stop to them. Finally they managed to wake up Majo Tourbillon. After resolving her misunderstanding with her grandchildren, she lifted the witch frog curse. Girls are finally allowed to become witches, but they are also reminded that if they become full witches, they will live longer than ordinary humans. Eventually they decided not to become witches and learned that they can do anything even without using magic, then combine their respective crystal fragments into a new crystal ball for Hana. The series ends with their elementary school graduation and Majo Rika takes Hana back to the Witch World. Although they each went their separate ways, their friendship remains the same and continue to move towards their dreams.[8]

Ojamajo Doremi #: The Movie
Ojamajo Doremi #: The Movie (映画おジャ魔女どれみ#, Eiga Ojamajo Doremi Shāpu)[17] was the first theatrical release for the series and was directed by Takuya Igarashi. Roughly twenty-seven minutes long, it was released on July 8, 2000 (along with Digimon Hurricane Touchdown!! / Supreme Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals), for the 2000 Summer Toei Anime Fair.[18] The Digimon movie was split into two parts and Ojamajo Doremi #: The Movie was screened in between.
In the movie, Pop has just passed one of her witch exams, but gets into a heated argument with Doremi because Hana followed her into the Witch World. Initially unbeknownst to everyone, the flower Pop brought home from the Witch World is really the Witch Queen Heart, the Queen's favorite flower, which grants any wish it hears regardless of any possible dangers until it begins to bear seeds. One of the wishes it had granted involves turning Doremi into a mouse, unknowingly made by Pop over her anger towards Doremi. While Pop goes to search for her sister, the other girls track down the runaway flower before it starts to reproduce.

During the next morning, when they investigate the forest, the girls get lost and face the Curse of the Full Moon, which makes them unable to use magic. Meanwhile, due to a traumatizing memory, Aiko develops a fear of Doremi's grandfather.
