Ojamajo Doremi Sharp – Episode 19

Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I am delighted to announce we’re checking back in on Doremi and her fellow ojamajos, as we explore a fresh episode of the conveniently titled Ojamajo Doremi Sharp. Whether it’s offering a poignant personal lesson, exploring the distinct lives of Doremi’s classmates, or simply reveling in its aesthetic flexibility and fantastical worldbuilding, each episode of Doremi offers a barrelful of fresh treasures, demonstrating the universal appeal of great children’s entertainment at its very best.

Our last episode was an admittedly embarrassing one for Doremi herself, as her bad attitude and sense of entitlement prompted an exodus by her fairy Dodo. This of course turned out to be a prime opportunity for Doremi’s animators, who indulged themselves with all sorts of goofy Dodo expressions, including the unforgettable Sukeban Dodo. And ultimately, the episode served to underline one of this production’s most enduring themes – its understanding that better behavior is a practice we must continually recommit to, not a stable fact of our unchanging identities. Even the adults in Doremi are works in progress, serving as a testament to its compassion and breadth of emotional insight. Now let’s see what nonsense the girls get up to today!

Ojamajo Doremi Sharp – Episode 18

Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I’m thinking it’s right about time to check in with our ojamajos, and see how the hair-raising project of raising a witch baby is progressing. Our last episode was actually a great victory for the team, as they rallied from the disgrace of their last monthly check-in with a standout performance at the witch baby olympics, steering Hana and her companions through an obstacle course that involved labyrinths, treacherous ball pits, and even a raging river.

It was a terrible display of parental responsibility for the witch authorities, but a triumph for our girls, who earned a double stamp for successfully keeping everyone’s babies alive. And with that high-octane drama concluded, I imagine we’re now in for a more subdued episode, as we perhaps return to the poignant personal concerns of Doremi’s classmates. Regardless, this show is always a rewarding fusion of pathos, whimsy, and visual beauty, so I’m sure we’re in for something special. Let’s get to it!

Ojamajo Doremi Sharp – Episode 10

Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I’m eager to dive right back into Ojamajo Doremi Sharp, and see what else is new with our hapless ojamajos. Our last sojourn with Majo Rika’s mother only served to remind me just how charming and generous this production truly is; whether it’s embracing the goofy flexibility of animation for comedy or stabbing at the heart with another tearjerker, Doremi always proceeds with absolute confidence, riding high on its mixture of sensitive characterization and gorgeous execution.

With the witch baby Hana consuming so much of our young witches’ attention, Sharp has been developing a clear thematic throughline regarding the perils of parenting. With Hana at hand, our girls are swiftly coming to understand the extraordinary strength required to raise a child – and having recognized that challenge, they’re furthermore coming to appreciate the struggles their own parents faced, and how they might share such burdens in the future. It’s a characteristically nuanced portrayal of coming to know your parents not just as caretakers, but as fallible yet dedicated human beings, and I imagine more lessons in that vein are just ahead. Let’s see how our witches fare in a fresh episode of Ojamajo Doremi!
