About Magical DoReMi

Meet Magical DoReMi (Ojamajo Doremi), a comedy and magic anime by Toei Animation (1999). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: Harukaze Doremi considers herself to be the unluckiest girl in the realm. Her parents are always fighting, her little sister makes fun of her, and her crush pines after another girl.

Also worth knowing: If only Doremi could just wave a magic wand, she would have a much better life—or so she used to think. After a mishap with a real witch, Doremi turns into an apprentice witch herself, and it turns out she's pretty horrible at that, too. Now she and her two companions has to study to become better at magic so they can become good witches.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series.
