Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I\u2019m delighted to be returning to Ojamajo Doremi Sharp, after far too long away from this outstanding magical girl production. Doremi is simply marvelous in all regards, demonstrating both the creative playfulness and emotional insight of top shelf children\u2019s animation. Whether it\u2019s a thoughtful vignette regarding one of the girls\u2019 classmates, a fantastical exploration of this show\u2019s charming magical world, or a dive into the complex home lives of characters like Onpu and Aiko, every episode of Doremi offers something new and special, demonstrating animation\u2019s ability to enrich the lives of viewers of any age.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our last episode was another top-shelf tearjerker, as we learned of the anxieties preventing Onpu\u2019s mother from wholeheartedly endorsing her daughter\u2019s next performance. Onpu episodes are always great, and that one fell into a particularly rich vein of Doremi Drama: the show\u2019s sensitive articulation of its parental figures\u2019 doubts and fears, a theme it has harnessed to remarkable effect in both Onpu and Aiko\u2019s stories. Through its humanization of its adult characters, Doremi serves as a gentle guide for its viewers, leading them through the frightening realization that their own parents are not invincible – as well as the ensuing sense of pride and purpose found in giving <\/span>back<\/span><\/i> to your parents, and bolstering their slumping shoulders with your own emerging strength. I imagine we\u2019re in for a lighter episode after that standout, but regardless of what\u2019s ahead, I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll be an excellent time. Let\u2019s return to Ojamajo Doremi!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 9<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our cold open is a woman who\u2019s clearly a witch sitting in a rocking chair, gently rocking a magical baby. \u201cYou must grow up big and strong\u2026 and of course, never forget about Mama.\u201d I could easily imagine Majo Rika being someone who\u2019s entirely forgotten her own mother, so I wonder if we\u2019ll be diving into her family life<\/span><\/p>\n

Ah, these delightfully bouncy and contortion-friendly designs. Yoshihiko Umakoshi is an all-time character designer, and you can see the power of his designs in this OP, where he also served as animation director. Their round faces and noodle limbs stretch wildly to echo their emotions, their forms embodying their feelings in a way that\u2019s entirely unique to animation, yet still oddly representative of how kids seem to emote<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s odd to me that Umakoshi went from such playful, flexible design work like this to the entirely inflexible designs of My Hero Academia. Perhaps he\u2019s simply constrained by that production\u2019s overall art design mandate, its determination to exactly echo the original manga panels. Either way, it\u2019s a waste – both for him, and for the better show My Hero could be<\/span><\/p>\n

Whole lotta reckless baby flying in this OP, I gotta say. You girls be careful with Hana!<\/span><\/p>\n

Hana\u2019s grown a lot since her introduction, and so Rika announces it\u2019s time to give her the seven magical herbs. Have we got a trip to the witch world coming!?<\/span><\/p>\n

Ah damnit, Dela\u2019s already here with the herbs in tow. Foiled!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We immediately get into the top shelf Good Faces as the gang react to Dela\u2019s herb prices<\/span><\/p>\n

But Rika mentions there\u2019s another seller at the Izu Plateau! Field trip saved!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Search For The Herbs! The Maho-dou\u2019s Bus Trip!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And thus the gang rolls out that old bus they used to sell goods from when Majo Ruka stole the shop<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As bank footage intended for persistent reuse, the transformation sequences of the girls shifting into their witch clothes embody Umakoshi persistently bouncy, stretchy design philosophy. Rather than a focus on magical effects obscuring their transformations, these sequences emphasize the physical process of trying on a new outfit, only exaggerated via the cast\u2019s ability to contort themselves and tuck in their limbs to first fit into and then burst out from their witch dresses<\/span><\/p>\n

The gang use their magic to transform the bus into a \u201cgardening bus.\u201d I appreciate how a lot of their minor magical tricks are actually things you could pretty easily do <\/span>without<\/span><\/i> magic, thus encouraging audiences to embrace the small ways they can already impact their own world. A key lesson of Ojamajo Doremi, and of great children\u2019s anime more generally, is \u201cyou already possess more power to change your world than you believe\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Aiko summons a microphone, because karaoke is apparently an essential part of bus trips. I am persistently jealous of how tightly karaoke seems to be integrated into so many aspects of Japanese life<\/span><\/p>\n

More excellent Doremi hamster faces as Rika announces they\u2019ll be doing some errands along the way<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh my god, Doremi and Aiko are doing karaoke of their own theme song<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m also appreciating this return to lush, imaginative layouts. Nice visual flourishes like this brief cut to us looking down on the group through the sunroof – it doesn\u2019t necessarily play an essential dramatic purpose, but inventive layouts like this make their world feel all the more rich and lived-in<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The rest area they stop at has a designated baby care room. I wonder if that\u2019s common in Japan, or really in any nation that actually cares about its people\u2019s welfare. Here in the states, the best you can hope for is a fold-out plastic bed in the existing restrooms<\/span><\/p>\n

Majo Rika is quick to exploit Onpu\u2019s celebrity in order to sell some dang flowers<\/span><\/p>\n

More lovely painted backgrounds as our crew arrive at their destination. I\u2019m quite fond of the texture effect underlying Doremi\u2019s backgrounds; they appear naturally weathered, like they\u2019ve been painted on corrugated cardboard or something<\/span><\/p>\n

The proprietor of the store is the old woman from the cold open, who Majo Rika indeed seems to recognize<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Excellent pratfall as Rika attempts to stop this woman from tripping on her door frame. Ojamajo Doremi: not afraid to push an old lady down the stairs<\/span><\/p>\n

Another neat layout framed through the windows as the girls settle in for tea. This one actually <\/span>does<\/span><\/i> serve a clear dramatic purpose, bridging the gap between the two scenes, as if the camera is spinning to capture their entrance into the building before focusing in alongside them<\/span><\/p>\n

This witch\u2019s name is Majo Ririka, she is exceedingly clumsy, and she is almost certainly Majo Rika\u2019s mother. Rika gets increasingly anxious as the girls comment on their similar names<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I like how Ojamajo Doremi\u2019s unique conception of \u201cwitch childhood\u201d naturally pushes back against any sort of biological necessity – as the show has repeatedly demonstrated across its various vignettes, your family are simply the people who love you, and your parents are whoever raised you. Aiko\u2019s journey in particular has dealt gracefully with the complex emotions inherent in parental divorce and new love<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere was an herb garden here, but they found a hot spring underneath. It\u2019s a vacation home now.\u201d A quiet or not-so-quiet antipathy towards development and urbanization is a common thread in anime, a natural consequence of how dramatically the landscape around Tokyo was altered in the \u201870s and \u201880s. Takahata, Oshii, hell even Mitsuo Iso\u2019s Dennou Coil is heavily infused with nostalgia for a mixed urban-rural home<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the girls end up conscripted in helping clean the jungle hot spring feature<\/span><\/p>\n

Hana has magical hiccups! Whatever can be done!?<\/span><\/p>\n

Another excellent layout as we return from the ad break, this time framing the whole party through the legs of Ririka\u2019s table. A layout that implies both intimacy and a sort of encroaching pressure, perfect for setting the tone of this new conflict<\/span><\/p>\n

Aiko helpfully offers to administer a hiccup-halting visage of terror<\/span><\/p>\n

This only terrifies Hana. Fortunately, magic mints can apparently cure magic hiccups<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The girls ask Ririka to keep in contact with them via their magical cellphone. I wonder if these sorts of toys still pop up in modern magical girl shows; pretending to be \u201clike an adult\u201d via a toy cellphone was a common enough idea twenty years ago, but in the age of ubiquitous tablets and smartphones, I imagine a fake version of an outdated piece of technology is less appealing<\/span><\/p>\n

The dynamic layouts continue, capturing Ririka from high among the bars of her second-floor landing, once again creating a sense of genuine space within the setting. Here, it also serves that same connective-tissue purpose as the window shot earlier, echoing the phone call \u201crising up\u201d from Doremi and then beaming down to Ririka<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This episode tapping into a rich vein of observational comedy: old folks and new devices<\/span><\/p>\n

Hah, even their ringtone is the OP<\/span><\/p>\n

Lovely action choreography as Rika bats fresh magical summons away from Hana. Just because Rika\u2019s a shapeless blob doesn\u2019t mean the animators can\u2019t flex with some high kicks and karate chops<\/span><\/p>\n

Majo Rika really taking a beating this episode. Apparently her head is some kind of flexible putty, that can be basically splattered like a tomato but still reconstitute itself<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rika earns her own case of magical hiccups, at last prompting Ririka to remember her. And with her own baby in trouble, she flies off to gather the herbs herself!<\/span><\/p>\n

Another thoughtful episode conflict predicated on children coming to learn the limitations that adults also face. An episode urging us to be kind to our grandparents, and understand the frustration they must feel at no longer possessing the physical faculties they once did. Hugtto had a similarly powerful episode focused on Hana’s grandmother<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo these are magical mints?\u201d At the same time, Ririka\u2019s expertise emphasizes how our elders still have much to teach us, even if they can seem frail or eccentric in some ways<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you tell us?\u201d \u201cHow could I? The baby she worked so hard to raise turned into a witch frog.\u201d And an even thornier thread, this one as much for the parents in the audience as the kids: learning to forgive ourselves when we falter in achieving the dreams we shared with our own parents. Ririka doesn\u2019t care that Rika\u2019s a frog; she\u2019s just happy to see her again<\/span><\/p>\n

Through this, the girls learn to further embrace their own hesitant efforts, knowing that even Majo Rika was once as uncertain as they are<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

Ah, this show is delightful. This was indeed a somewhat lighter episode, but still rich in compassionate reflections on both childhood and adulthood, and how our bonds with and responsibilities towards our loved ones shift over time. Ririka proved an exceptional addition to the cast, naturally facilitating a variety of reflections on our duties towards elderly family members, the sense of disappointment that can arise from failing to meet your childhood expectations, and the way meeting a parent or mentor\u2019s own guardians can enrich your relationship with your loved ones. All that in a tidy narrative shell brimming with generous visual flourishes, from the cozy, inventive layouts to the plethora of goofy faces. Doremi, it is good to be back.<\/span><\/p>\n
