One week after its domestic release, the official website for the 20th-anniversary film for Toei Animation’s Ojamajo Doremi series, Majo Minarai wo Sagashite (Looking for Witch Apprentices) / Looking for Magical Doremi, has started streaming the first six-minute of the film introducing the three main characters – Sora Nagase (CV: Aoi Morikawa / fashion model, actress), Mire Yoshizuki (Rena Matsui / ex-Nogizaka46 member), and Reika Kawatani (Kanako Momota / Momoiro Clover Z member).
The clip introduces the three protagonists’ childhood when they were fascinated by “Ojamajo Doremi” and believed in “magic”. As time goes by, as they become adults, they understand reality and no longer believe in magic. In the opening scene, the three adult women are faced with a wall of reality, including their work, dreams for the future, and problems.
The 91-minute film co-directed by the TV anime first season’s series director Junichi Sato and Yu Kamatani (ONE PIECE STAMPEDE assistant director) was released in 127 theaters across Japan on November 13, 2020, and earned 70 million yen, making its fourth-place debut in its opening weekend. It also ranked second in Filmarks’ first-day satisfaction ranking with an average rating of 3.81 from 616 reviews.
