Hopefully it's better then the grown up Precure show we got. That was terrible.

It's BEYOND beyond a long shot, but it would have been interesting if like Sound Cadence licensed this and brought back the original dub VAs from the 4Kids dub.

YT video and tweets have 1000s likes.

Didn't know this was so beloved.

Points for actually featuring them transformed as adults instead of transforming back into their younger selves!

It's not show or anything, just an anniversary opening.

It is confirmed they are making an anime adaptation but they haven't decided on the format yet.

That's ALL I wanted from the Precure one, honestly.

I cannot look at this franchise the same way anymore ever since 4Kids walked all over it with their dirty boots, over the crisp, white sheets of the bed that I had just made… With the same boots they wore as they stood at a urinal!

Happy anniversary, my pretty witchies. Hard to believe you've been around for 25 years now, and I've been a fan for over 20 of them. Thank you for the laughter, the tears, and the memories.

Doremi herself is the only one I find odd. Her bun hair really does look very childish at every age. I think the rest of the girls have a slight look of maturity to them as adults though. Aiko looks the most changed to my eyes.

that would not be possible because some of them either retired or moved on to bigger things.

Well,for those who hate the 4Kids dub of "Magical DoReMi,"I'm among those who didn't really mind it too much. There are those who are going to come on to their keyboards in response to my statement and scream and yell that the 4Kids dub of this show was garbage and anyone who disagrees with them should be cast out of the ANN forums and the internet. I'm sorry,but I feel differently. I had no real problems with it and while it had some flaws in it,I never felt that it was the horror show others have said it is.

Here's the thing. It's a kid's anime. Well within the wheelhouse of 4Kids. It may be popular here to treat 4Kids as some kind of pinata to beat up and throw stones at,but I often feel differently. While I think it could have been a little better,the 4Kids dub of this show wasn't the most horrendous thing on earth. Like many of the other dubs they did,the 4Kids version of "Magical DoReMi" was well done in the voice acting department and I can't take that away from them. There may have been flaws in that version,but the English voice actors were very good and I think they have nothing to be ashamed of here.

Did the 4Kids dub even make it far enough to have English voices for Onpu, Momoko, and Hana? I thought it only lasted a very short while

And that's assuming this even gets an official English release.
