welcome to the maho-dou

this page is dedicated to one of my favourite shows, ojamajo doremi

ive been meaning to watch this show for ages but i finally started it in 2021 and it became an instant favourite! there's endless praise i could give to this show - all the characters are well developed, including the background charas, it's cute and fun but also skillfully tackles darker topics such as suicide and agoraphobia, and the visuals are extremely charming~

one of the things that really hooked me into this show is the art direction. all the backgrounds are handpainted watercolour which is such a treat to look at every episode! the characters are drawn with great expressions, especially their silly faces, which reminds me of all the great faces in cardcaptor sakura, another series that i love~

one thing that really amazed me is that the scenery for each episode's transformation scene is different and matches their surroundings & what they're doing at the time which is different than the usual static transformation scene. there are a lot of little things like this peppered throughout the series which adds lots of amazing subtlety & detail

my favourite characters are onpu and hazuki girls after my own heart! my impression of onpu before i watched the show was that she was a sweet girl so it was a big shock when she turned out to be a bratty, confident witch haha. it makes me love her even more though

every episode of ojamajo doremi is an absolute joy to watch, and thats coming from me, someone who usually takes months to finish one season of a show but blazed through doremi in mere weeks. you can tell how much love the team had for this show which just makes it even better. ojamajo doremi has a very wonderful and dedicated fanbase, all of whom will talk your ear off about this show if you let them. i think any media that's created with lots of love attracts really sweet and genuine fans.

thats all i have to say for now~ here are some screenshots presented without context
