But elderly characters are often framed very differently – taking the roles of indulgent grandparents, they can engage with kids on their own level without fundamentally changing the tone of a production in the way having a parent present might. This natural state of affairs means it can be tricky to give children guides and mentors who can engage with them on an equal level, and share in their personal worlds and adventures.

Younger adults are most often framed as authority figures, which makes sense – in children’s actual lives, their closest adult relationships are generally with their parents and their teachers, both of whom represent clear authority. It’s interesting to consider the specific roles elderly adult characters are often granted in children’s shows, roles that are often categorically different from the narrative positions offered to young or middle-aged adults. Welp, they seem to follow the same “grumpy, goofy, animal-form old person” mentor model as Majo Rika, at least Some new yellow mascot creature appears! Presumably this creature will be their guide to being Pureleine, since I can’t imagine Majo Rika actually possesses any useful knowledge of any kind Let’s dive right in to one more episode of Ojamajo Doremi! And either way, Pop is still a magical girl, so I don’t really get any more narrative requests for at least another season. But I highly doubt Doremi could have given up its moral ambitions partway through its first season and still be considered such a classic, so I’m less worried and more intrigued as to how these new elements will interact with the existing formula.

I’m not yet sure what to make of Doremi and her friends being dubbed Pureleine card-hunters – I generally prefer when the show’s drama focuses more on grounded human problems than fanciful issues specific to the witch world, and this whole bad item business seems as fancifully arbitrary as they come. Doremi’s last episode saw the show seemingly jumping subgenres entirely, as the introduction of “bad items” and “bad cards” offered Doremi a dash of Card Captor Sakura.

This is my first Doremi post of 2018, a year that I’m hoping will somehow turn around the global inferno that was 2017, but considering this year started by the heat dying in my apartment followed by a blizzard sealing me in my apartment, I’m not entirely optimistic.Įnter Doremi as a ray of sunshine, a show that’s still charming and well-crafted and full of heart no matter how bad things are out there. We return at last to Ojamajo Doremi! It’s been a little while since I spent time with these ojamajos in the real world, and I am beyond happy to return.
