Onpu's selfless decision was also touching. Could it be that she's learning?
Pop's message to Santa was also touching s hell if not predictable.
Another thing I liked was the use of Christmas song covers for the music. Will never get tired of those.
Preview makes the next episode also seem amazing.
Another really great episode. Feeling really bad for Pop being the butt of the joke with her sleeping and all but she still got a consolation prize.
Pop and her Stormtroopers.

Well, Aiko has a habit of doing that, even if it's at her own expense sometimes.
Every time Utena shouts "Himemiya!", an angel gets its wings.

And here we have #'s Christmas episode, Onpu and Aiko have a bit more spotlight here with the other two just doping about because they're the least busy of the two, and Doremi's steak boner has failed her twice.
The sudden change of situation for Onpu getting together with her folks to meet an idoru caused her to run away and leap into Doremi's arms threatening to quit the showbiz.
With Aiko, she gets ready to tell dad that she's been meeting Mom in secret as she keeps going with her plan to get them back together. Her mother is worried that Aiko will be strained as she progresses through school, and that went places.
Christmas episode is consistent with what's being given with # at least.
Oh... and Doremi was a good big sister.

Of course her dad said otherwise and thus she continued

A nice action packed episode since the main character was asleep for the whole length of the episode.

Boring fight deserves a boring end.
Would actually have been interesting if Koikawa agreed with the insects to liking to kill and not caring about his past victims.

Their plastic shit is so advanced at this point that the usual reload/refuel methods don't work anymore! Time for them to sell their bodies to science.

Somehow I feel that this episode is still a warning shot, despite things getting resolved.

I just hope nobody takes that too literally.
Delicious Kaisei is delicious.

There's got to be a tanuki caught for the pot sooner or later, and it had better not be her. It would be satisfying if it was one of her brothers, but that might be a little too much to hope for =p

I didn't know there was one more special, and it has Hosaka in it so it must be excellent!

I agree it would have made him more badass but this path is not really used in those kind of shonen shows... so im not surprised that they bailed out.
Next week looks extra boring too

The delivery and the music in this scene made it all worthwhile.
We also got Wakamoto as the evil king while not his best performance, was still a treat.
I guess this anime isn't gonna go past what I read of the manga (which is also how far up the North America release has gotten up to) and I can imagine what scene they'll probably end it on which would be a nice way to end this short adaptation. We got half a volume of material left so they'll probably make it all the way to the end.

What if Ojamajo Doremi was a period drama? You'd get this episode, explaining the origins of the school using caricatures of our current cast but set in the past. With the magical girl stuff going on as well. Which actually sort've gives us a hint of how everything will end.

Turns out that one man's kidnapping is another man's happy adventure time that makes you endearing.

I'm sure Mamoru ponders this now and then.

Magic isn't as big as other mahou shoujos, therefore "plot of the week" episodes aren't hindered by Monsters of the Week.
Speaking of which, it has no Monsters of the Week. Magic is sometimes used to help, but not to the extent where everything is fixed. Sometimes nothing is fixed, and thus they have to rely on their humanity to solve a problem. So right there alone makes it not like other mahou shoujos.
That and considering the general age of the characters that get exposure, it explores themes rather maturily. Like... lets compare it to say... an M-rated game. Despite being colorful as fuck, Doremi beats them handily here.
The show does not exist just to primarily promote the main characters, the anime dedicates itself to flesh out its characters, from their teachers, to students, to parents and even to the witches. There's also the whole flesh out the world bit over the course of the show, and each season basically focuses on a specific theme, and explores that very well (ie. # is all about parenthood).
It frankly needs more promotion.
I havent seen it so I cant judge it either way but how is it different?
Ok so its not MOTW format. thats good at least. I get really tired of that format.

It was the final examination, but now we're going into the final arc, on top of the FLAT 4 revealing themselves to the crew. And they explained their real purpose now.

And they made up, too bad Oyajiide shows up to ruin the fun. Gotta stop this now before we get into a War. Hey look, that Period drama did allude to this!

A double length episode that was funny at times and wasn't funny at times.
I did like the whole Snow White bit but the Little Mermaid one dragged and hell, I forgot it was suppose to be a flashback at times.

I guess I could live with that. Its better than Max Heart.
It's one of the best magical girl shows made.
I just wish it had a more appealing art style.

That was one of the best things about EVA 3.0. The way the audience is also kept in the dark about what has happened, just like Shinji, was really masterful. It leads to us being frustrated, just like Shinji, and maybe even understand or support his actions. For instance , I was actually glad
Shinji left Wunder and towards NERV.
It's amusing to think of it in the sense that Toei has had three main "flagship" TV Asahi magical girl show dynasties: Sailor Moon from March 1992 through February 1997, Doremi from February 1999 through January 2003, and of course Precure since Februrary 2004, each catering to a somewhat different market.

So From Up on Poppy Hill comes out on Blu Ray on tuesday, anyone going to pick it up? I think i'll rent it on Netflix.
I'm kind of surprised that you don't find it cute, cajun. I mean, you find everything cute!
I guess there's a difference between "girly cute" - which I think Doremi's designs are, they look like fun little girl-type designs - and "moe cute". But then I thought you liked both!
Toei has a godlike command of the mahou shoujo market.
Wait, its out in the US on bluray soon? Shit I must missed that. Or more likely dont remember reading it.

It was all one big misunderstanding. The King didn't want to wage a war, he just wanted his old form back. So it was our pesky duo who mistook it for wanting to go to war.
But everything turned out just fine. The Door was unsealed, Wizard Land is prospering, Doremi's treat has ROYAL SEEDS, and Hana's back.
But then apparently there's some shit brewing at the end, because we have 2 episodes left.

Yep, i just put all of the movies i want to see when they are in theaters in my Netflix queue so i'll remember when they come out.
It is cute. I just would prefer a less chibi looking art style, something more like Precure.

Doremi has better character designs than any Precure, possibly excepting Heartcatch (Umakoshi again!). I wouldn't describe them as particularly "chibi".

I...agree with you. I know this is coming from the man who practically judged the whole show from the 4kids dub (which I then quickly learned here is like saying a chocolate cake tastes horrible after pouring dirty toilet water all over it) but the art style just didn't agree with me. It wasn't horrible, just...distracting. I don't know, I just like looking at more detailed animation in anime IMO.
