Anime Digest

The movie revolves around the three women who grew up watching Ojamajo Doremi in their childhood. The three women are Sora Nagase, a 22-year-old college student whose parents are pressuring her to become a teacher; Mire Yoshizuki, a 27-year-old career-oriented office worker returning from work; and Reika Kawatani, a 20-year-old girl. Sora is concerned about Yūji Makita, a student at the school she interns; despite having her dream job, Mire frequently conflicts with her manager Miyao; and Reika’s boyfriend, Seiya Kubo, keeps stealing her savings for college. One day, Sora becomes curious when she hears rumors about a Western-style building in Kamakura that served as the basis for the MAHODO, a magic shop featured in Ojamajo Doremi. She meets Mire and Reika when she visits, who explore the building with her. That evening, the women’s bond gets strong because they watched Ojamajo Doremi when they were younger and the magic bead toys from the show. After that, the women return home, but they keep in contact. As their daily lives become stressful, Sora invites Mire and Reika to visit Aichi prefecture for the weekend. There, the women are so exciting because Hida-Takayama is the location where the film Ojamajo Doremi: “The Secret of the Frog Stone” gets shoot.

The Feel-Good Part

They all go to Aichi prefecture on weekends and enjoy themselves so much. At that time, they all forgot all their daily life tension and enjoyed that moment so much. And the other best part is when the same magic happens in their life, which happens in the Ojamajo Doremi.

The Disappointing Part 

There was not a disappointing part, but there was a scene when they shared their life story of how they faced so many problems. But unfortunately, the story goes in flashback at that moment, which is such a dull scene.
