He's right, the Ojamajo have a lot of depth to them throughout the entire franchise. Each episode of Doremi adds something to the cast or even the supporting cast. Aiko in particular has a whole character arc that spans from her debut to the finale and it's fucking beautiful how it concludes. Doremi was the original all-loving pink-haired girl with a big heart and two left feet. I've come to appreciate Precure as I got deeper into it, but after rewatching the entirety of Doremi and jumping into Futari wa, it was jarring how bland the characters were. Heartcatch looks like Doremi without any of its substance, and I say this as an avid Erika lover (Tsubomi's cute too).

From what I heard, Doremi's heavier episodes caught a lot of people by surprise today when they watched it.
