{{nihongo|'''Ojamajo Doremi'''|おジャ魔女どれみ|Ojamajo Doremi}} is a [[magical girl]] [[anime]] metaseries consisting of four regular TV anime series, one 13-episode sidestory, two anime films, and a manga series. The various series were aired from 1999-2003, with companion movies to the second and third seasons. A thirteen episode sidestory TV series was aired in 2004. A [[manga]] adaptation, written by [[Izumi Todo]] and illustrated by [[Shizue Takanashi]], was published by [[Kodansha]]. The show is about elementary school children that transform into witch apprentices.

==Story==
The anime series focuses on two main problems the main character, Doremi, is trying to solve. The first is the heroines' efforts to become skilled in the art of magic, and secondly the friendships and relationships between them in the human world. In the ''Majo-kai'', the world of witches, they focus on fighting fear to spiteful witches and hostile wizards, as well as completing tests. In the human world however, they use their magical talents to help those in need. Being trainees in magic, their powers often do not immediately provide a solution to their problems. In the end, the primary moral of these stories is not about power, but about kindness and compassion.
