Magical DoReMi (Ojamajo Doremi)

Magical DoReMi is the English version of mh:besttvshows:Ojamajo Doremi (おジャ魔女どれみ, lit. “Bothersome Witch Doremi” ) dubbed by 4Kids Entertainment. Like the original Japanese version, it forces on a group of elementary school students, let by Dorie (Doremi Hanukkaze), who become witch apprentices. Unfortunately, 4Kids Entertainment got and still is heavily criticized for its censorship and unnecessary changes to the story of the original Japanese version.

Plot
The plot of the only dubbed episode is about three elementary school students who become witch apprentices, in which they must because their mentor witch physical form got turned into a green blob. But with the help of Caitlyn (Pop) and Ellie (Onpu), they need to work together to become full witches to restore their mentor witch physical form.

Why This Dub Sucks

 * 1) Much like bad anime dubs of popular anime it is an expurgation of a popular anime series, as anything which they thought was violent and/or sexual was censored out, even worse, the dubbing is bad, because most of the voices doesn't sound like their Japanese voices.
 * 2) * Dorie's English voice (Amy Palant) is irritatingly scratchy-sounding.
 * 3) * Reanne's English voice (Rebecca Soler) sounds a bit too old or mature and raspy for such a shy, timid, and cute character.
 * 4) * Mirabelle's English voice (Kether Donohue) doesn't sound like a tomboy and sounds so high pitched.
 * 5) * Caitlyn's English voice is migraine to the ears since she's voiced by Liza Jacqueline (the voice of Bloom from Winx Club).
 * 6) * Ellie's English voice (Anne Marie Nestor) sounds like she has no purpose despite being a mature female character.
 * 7) * Takoyakis turned into biscuits.
 * 8) * Shotguns and axes are changed into squirtguns and shovels.
 * 9) * Asian cuisine turned into westernized cuisine, which is just asinine.
 * 10) Most of the characters' names are changed in the dub. For example, Doremi's name in this dub is Dorie, Hazuki's name in this dub is Reanne, Aiko's name in this dub is Mirabelle, Pop's name in this dub is Caitlyn, and Onpu's name in this dub is Ellie.
 * 11) Horrible, unnecessary & nonsensical censorship.
 * 12) *Takoyakis turned into biscuits.
 * 13) *Shotguns and axes are changed into squirt guns and shovels.
 * 14) *Asian cuisine turned into westernized cuisine.
 * 15) *The settings aren't safe from this, their names are changed as well despite already having American English names too (e.g. Witch World/Lunaverse and Witch Frog Town/Straytown (this name also refers to the other Shadow Realm from the Yu-Gi-Oh! 4Kids dub).
 * 16) Like many of 4Kids Entertainment's dubs, the dialogue is inaccurately translated and sounds like it’s from the animated Bratz Babyz and Bratz Kidz series.
 * 17) *There is even out of place dialogue added to the transformation scenes, and it’s so obnoxious to listen to.
 * 18) Even the name of MAHO-Dou in this dub is uncreative. The name of MAHO-Dou in this dub is The DoReMi Magic Shop.
 * 19) Much like Mew Mew Power, the dub treats Magical DoReMi as an awful show.
 * 20) The early 2000's English soundtrack is bad. The theme song, for example, completely contradicts the premise of this series. Kids would listen to it and think about to be a Witchling, they have to spend all of their money and they will never worry about going bankrupt.
 * 21) Many of the emotional scenes were edited as it either went from sad to humorous or just cut out entirely:
 * 22) * For example, all the episodes from Seasons 2-4 and the OVA were never released in English because they were only from Asia, Africa, and Europe.
 * 23) It spawned an even worse short segment, which is called Witchling Sing-Along.
 * 24) * Speaking of the Witchling Sing-Along videos, they're cringeworthy to look at.
 * 25) ** "Just Like Magic" is a dub of the first opening theme song. They cut and edited some parts of the original and the lyrics literally follow the the main characters are doing in the credits.
 * 26) ** "We Can Make Magic" is another dub of the second opening theme song. It repeats the same exact scene from the beginning and the lyrics also follows what’s happening in the credits.
 * 27) ** "Make It Shine" is the first sing-along video to use the scenes in every episode, the lyrics are cringeworthy to listen to.
 * 28) ** "Now That I Can Fly", read WIS #11.
 * 29) ** "Mirabelle's Theme" is pretty nice to hear.
 * 30) ** "Come On Along", is not only a sing-along video, but an announcement for "Season 2" of Magical DoReMi (when it’s not actually a second season but a second half of the original Japanese anime).
 * 31) ** "Make a Melody" has to be the worst out of all the sing-along videos.
 * 32) ** "Do Re Mi Forever" is kinda unpleasant to look at.
 * 33) ** "Perfect Harmony" is kinda nice, but the lyrics are kinda decent.
 * 34) ** "Believing in Love" and "Straytown Strut" are basically the two insert songs of the dub and they are initially available on the official 4KidsTV website its close.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The original Japanese version of Ojamajo Doremi is a good masterpiece, though many people wish they should get a remastered DVD/Blu-ray dub of a company that is known to make good dubs (such as Funimation, ADV Films, Viz Media, Geneon Entertainment (USA), DKP Effects/DKP Studios, Nelvana, and The Ocean Group) so it will be a good HD remaster and the 20th anniversary masterpiece than this awful dub.
 * 2) It only lasted one season and 50 episodes.
 * 3) Some of the voicework is pretty decent, such as Caitlyn (Pop), Ellie (Onpu), Patina (Majorika), and Josie (Reika).
 * 4) Thankfully, 4Kids has lost the rights to the Ojamajo Doremi series, so we won't be getting anymore Magical DoReMi seasons.

Receptions
Unlike the original Japanese dub of Ojamajo Doremi, which received positive reception, Magical DoReMi was panned by critics and fans alike and is widely considered the first worst English dub of all time, next to the 4Kids dub of One Piece.
