“Level 7 apprentices have the ability to talk to plants.” HOLD THE PHONE This show runs for a whole bunch of seasons, so I guess either the exams are eventually going to be spread out more, or getting through the witch exams is just the beginning Holy crap, we’re already on Level 7 exams! We approach the magic shop from a new angle this time, with an interesting perspective shot that presents the shop as a much more rounded edifice This cold open is altogether too happy for my comfort, though I don’t really expect Ojamajo Doremi to kill a dog Lulu, a dog who looks as much like a dog as any of Doremi’s other animals These unique styles of shadows reflect Doremi’s usual confidence in relying on bold, simplified geometric shapes The musical bars that form the outline of these segments here are repurposed, making this segment feel that much more like a picture book A new style of shading as well, echoing her profile with a shadow several steps behind The backgrounds here are distinctive as well, with the simplified flower designs shifting to ornament the tree she runs around. Doremi just has so many fundamentally strong and consistently unique style choices Let’s see what our witches get up to today!Įither a much younger girl is the focus character this time, or we’re getting a flashback relevant to one of Doremi’s classmatesĮither way, the simplified flowers ornamenting this opening sequence are a lovely touch. Doremi’s little visual flourishes are as reliable as its moral punchlines, and I’m happy to be back on board. It also featured one of the show’s most aesthetically powerful sequences yet, with Masaru’s flashback to his father demonstrating this show still has a fair number of execution tricks up its sleeve. Let’s mosey on back to Ojamajo Doremi! Last episode saw Doremi in its most reliable and frankly rewarding mode, using the focus on a new member of Doremi’s class to articulate great points about growing up and finding people you can rely on.
