About Magical DoReMi

Looking for background on Magical DoReMi (おジャ魔女どれみ)? This comedy, drama and fantasy series by Toei Animation (1999) starts out like this. What the story covers: Doremi Harukaze, 3rd grade student at Misora Elementary School, claims to be the world's unluckiest pretty girl. Fascinated by witchcraft, she is drawn into a mysterious shop where she meets Majo Rika and is able to deduce that this lady is in fact a real witch.

Also worth knowing: Being exposed by a human triggers a curse that transforms witches into magical frogs. To regain her original body, Rika has to turn Doremi into a witch by teaching her how to use magic. Thrilled by this odd development, Harukaze turns into a witch apprentice.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Doremi Harukaze (Chiemi Chiba) and Hazuki Fujiwara (Tomoko Akiya) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 51 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
