QUALITY
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that these little girls are training to become witches. Some moral lessons about empathy and care-giving might rub off on kids, but some of the language can be a bit gruff ("Kick butt" and "shut up"). Younger kids may find the line between fantasy and reality blurred.
What's the story?
In MAGICAL DO RE MI, three third-grade friends named Dorie, Reannie, and Mirabelle learn the ways of magic by casting spells and being mentored by their superiors. As Witchlings, the girls are required to pass eight stages of apprenticeship to become full fledged witches. They each have little fairy companions whom they must protect, which demands that they behave responsibly.
Is it any good?
Young kids will love watching them dress in their special costumes, and may emulate how the girls fly through the air on their brooms. Generally, the adventures center around helping other kids, and some themes include lessons of respect and working hard to achieve goals. There's less fluff than other girl-oriented shows, but some exaggerated emotional reactions and language ("shut up") can be distracting.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about magic and magical powers. If kids could have any magic power in the world, what would it be, and why?

People this is a great show! I don't think that the people at 4kids know what they did by taking it of the air. they should really put it back on.

Educational and Cute!!!! 4Kids' only good dub! (All the rest suck.)
This is a great show for kids, except 4Kids had to ruin it. Doremi Harukaze (Dorie Goodwyn) has crushes on a lot of boys time-after-time, and yells at her fairy, DoDo. Majo Rika (Patina) yells at the girls just for making one mistake. Pop Harukaze (Caitlin Goodwyn) literally hates her sister. Superstar and witch, Onpu Segawa (Ellie Craft) uses magic for bad reasons. In one episode, DoDo pees in Doremi (Dorie)'s bed. I personally like the original Japanese version better. (I'm on Mo~tto!)

You Don't Have To Be A Child To Love It!
I Cannot miss an episode...I'm 15 and I bet your thinking Im immature...But its better than sitting tight lipped and acting like I don't enjoy Manga. My entire family loves Magical Do Re Me, for its humor and life lessons. Who Cares about words like "Shut Up" in the show?... Its all in the fun and your kids are gonna say it no matter what! To all those who are complaining- Hows a great TV show like this a threat in a world opposite of the innocence? Let kids enjoy the magic. Hey- Enjoy it yourself even...If you think THIS is "Oooh! Too Naughty" for your kids...SELL YOUR TV 'coz this is as friendly as your gonna get!

I didn't really like it because I'm not a fan of magical girls and sing alongs so this might be a little bias. Anyways, this a good anime to watch, it's interesting, the characters aren't so annoying. It's pretty much like Sailor Moon except the characters are younger and cuter.
