Magical DoReMi

Magical DoReMi (おジャ魔女どれみ Ojamajo Doremi, lit. "Bothersome Witch Doremi") is a Japanese magical girl anime television series created by Toei Animation. The original series aired in Japan on TV Asahi between February 7, 1999 and January 30, 2000, spanning 51 episodes.

Synopsis

Dorie Goodwyn, 3rd grade student at Misora Elementary School, claims to be the world's unluckiest pretty girl. Fascinated by witchcraft, she is drawn into a mysterious shop where she meets Patina and is able to deduce that this lady is in fact a real witch. Being exposed by a human triggers a curse that transforms witches into magical frogs. To regain her original body, Patina must turn Dorie into a witch by teaching her how to use magic. Thrilled by this odd development, Goodwyn becomes a witch apprentice. Unfortunately, her two best friends, Reanne Griffith and Mirabelle Haywood, discover that Dorie has become a magic user. Afraid that Goodwyn might become a magical frog too, Patina recruits both Reanne and Mirabelle and makes them witch apprentices too. The trio has lots of adventures as they try to triumph the necessary trials to become real witches.

Dubbing History[]

An English language version of the first season, produced by 4Kids Entertainment, aired in North America in 2005. Ojamajo Doremi made its US debut on 4Kids TV under the name Magical DoReMi with a preview episode on August 13, 2005 and regularly airing episodes beginning September 10, 2005; they aired 26 episodes by March 11, 2006. After that, the show was rerun until August 19, 2006. The show continued its run on November 13, 2007, exclusively on the network's web site and released its last episode on May 2, 2008. Due to the nature of some of the show's contents, 4Kids Entertainment altered or removed certain scenes and images to give the show a more Western feel and to make it suitable for younger audiences. Episode 30 was never released and dubbed in English.

Notes[]

The role of Ellie Craft is often incorrectly attributed to Jessica Calvello, though she has denied the role. New York-based actress Anne Marie Nestor has listed Magical DoReMi on her resume, though not listing the role itself, mentions it as a main role.^[1]
There also exists a Singaporean English dub from Voiceovers Unlimited. Reportedly, Cloverway produced their own English dub which aired in Australia on the ABC, but no proof has been found of the dub's existence.
In episode 21 (entitled Hazuki is Kidnapped!), Hazuki gets kidnapped by two conmen, but in the dub, this is changed to Reanne spending the day with her uncle Mick and his friend Joey, and Dorie and Mirabelle mistakenly think she has been kidnapped.
