Ojamajo Doremi 1


That's such a Tsubomi face right there

The art in this show feels like a weird mix of HeartCatch and Sailor Moon, I like it so far. Although I don't like Doremi's witch outfit at all. :(

Also, it seems really dangerous to be a witch if all someone needs to do to turn you into a blob of goo is just say you're a witch? I mean, those outfits are a pretty big giveaway. And there's a book about how to spot witches easily available? Something really strange is going on there...


A hand drawn weathervane. AKB0048, take notes.

Doremi is pretty annoying with how often she declares how unfortunate she is. The second time stop was pretty funny, though.

Well, that is Doremi's little sister, not Doremi herself.

Also, Doremi > Sakura.

I am simply referring to the [censored] of the characters, not the quality of the show itself. But a lot of other magical girl characters are more [censored] than Sakura anyway.

They dont look cuter than Sakura, but then again I havent seen much of them.
The art style kind of reminds me of fushigi Boshi no Futago Hime with the hypercute exaggerated character designs. Very cute indeed, but I prefer the style of CCS.

Atrocious first episode, boring thereafter.

Hyberbole aside, yes, there are far worse shows I would rather watch than HotD. Its that bad. And the funny thing is, its not actually that bad.

If these are the players in episode 3, imagine what they'll be like during the final arc.

At this point, the whole excitment of the series comes from just imagining how ridiculous they can go.

Nothing wrong with that of course.

Must be for kids because it's about kids, not fappable enough, etc. Not saying that there aren't valid reasons not to like it, I'm just trying to think of the most likely reasons not to like it.

I'm one of the people who thought it was FUCKING GREAT.
Plot is very standard and actually not going anywhere, plus fanservice may be a bother to some, but for the rest it's just mindless entertainment at its best. The same kind of entertainment as, say, Sengoku Basara.

In a word : fun, fun, fun. Enjoy the ride and don't think to hard about it. If at all.

Ive had that anime on my to buy wish list on amazon for at least a year now, it takes forever to come down under 40$, it looked fun enough to buy without watching a gram of an episode beyond that one gif.

I've just discovered that one of the live action adaptations was directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi, director of the absolutely batshit insane cult film House. There's a short blog piece on the film here which makes it sounds a bit silly (spoilers, obviously).

I'll be interested to see what Ryosuke Nakamura makes of the source material tonally.

I just... I don't know. I really like zombies and I really like fanservice. And I recognise that this is pretty horrific at being a good story, but goddamn if it's not really great at being about zombies and fanservice.

Not fappable enough? I'm sure there are doujinshi out there that prove that wrong.

According to raito-kun on twitter, Nakamura has been working on this movie for quite a while and he is also writing the script. Apparently Tetsuro Araki was supposed to be joining the project as a unit director as well after Guilty Crown wrapped up.

Apart from Fairy Tail, it would be shocking how they would incorporate that into the long running adaptations.
