Magic seaweed is an online platform that provides surf and weather forecasts for surfing spots around the world. It offers detailed information on wave height, swell direction, wind speed, tide times, and other relevant data that surfers need to plan their surfing sessions. The "magic" in Magic seaweed's name refers to the accuracy and reliability of its surf forecasts. The platform uses complex algorithms and data analysis to predict surf conditions, taking into account factors such as oceanic patterns, wind patterns, and local topography. This allows surfers to have a better understanding of the waves they will encounter and make informed decisions about when and where to surf. Seaweed, on the other hand, plays a vital role in the health of the ocean and its ecosystems.
At a university in Aichi prefecture, Sora (age 22) reflects on her student teaching practicum. She had complimented a special needs student, Makita, on his drawing skills when he gave her one of his sketches. However, she pointed out that now is the time for writing, not drawing, and that he should also try writing his name in kanji instead of hiragana. Frustrated, Makita scribbled over his drawing and stormed out of the classroom. Later, when Sora tried to voice her concerns about Makita's developmental needs, she was scolded for focusing too much on one student instead of the class as a whole. Dejected, Sora feels like she sees a glance of someone flying on a broom outside the window of her university lecture hall.
Despite their different ages and experiences with Ojamajo Doremi, the fact that they were all able to meet at the same place at the same time seemed to be some sort of destiny. As Mire sits in a company lounge drafting an email to a partner, informing them that Yabe will be taking over her duties, she hears some coworkers loudly gossiping about her.
Seaweed, on the other hand, plays a vital role in the health of the ocean and its ecosystems. It provides shelter, food, and a breeding ground for various marine organisms. Seaweed also helps to reduce ocean acidification by absorbing carbon dioxide and other pollutants from the water.
Recap / I'm Doremi! I'm a Witch Apprentice!
The episode starts off with a narration on Doremi's part, complete with her uttering her soon-to-be-signature spell "Pirika Pirilala Poporina Peperuto" and summoning a new show to TV. There, she elaborates somewhat on what she plans to do as a Witch Apprentice.
Cue bouncy opening theme!
One average day in Misora, a young girl named Maki is visiting a dark shop. The proprietor, dressed in dark clothes and staring at her with red eyes, makes several creepy remarks regarding the wares before the young girl purchases them.
Meanwhile at a house, a young girl with red odango hair, Doremi Harukaze, is reciting a spell that she hopes will give her to courage to confess her feelings to a boy she likes. The boy in question is Igarashi. She is about to leave when her younger sibling, Pop Harukaze, catches her. Turns out, Doremi usually doesn't leave early and gets questioned accordingly. Doremi tries to get out of it with word play, but Pop doesn't buy it. Instead, their feuding parents, Haruka and Keisuke, end up getting into it (again), and it provides enough of a distraction for Doremi to get out.
Later, on the way to school, Doremi narrates and formally introduces herself to the audience. She hides from Igarashi and doesn't see him talking with Maki, who tells him that if he wins the upcoming soccer match, she'll let him on a secret. The two walk right on by Doremi's hiding spot, and Doremi scolds herself for letting the chance slip by.
In class, Doremi is studying from a book about witches instead of her textbooks. She is interrupted by her friend and fellow classmate, Hazuki Fujiwara, who tells her it is her turn to read. she ends up reading from her witch book instead and gets mocked for it, particularly by Tetsuya Kotake. This pisses her off, and both end up in the hall as punishment. Later still, after school, Doremi is asked if she's going to watch the soccer team practice, to which she refuses. She leaves, but it turns out she had her backpack upside down and ends up spilling everything.
On her way back, Doremi is contemplating why everyone thinks magic is weird when she finds herself on a deserted stretch of road that she doesn't recall taking. She notices a creepy building and decides to investigate. Turns out, it's the same one Maki visited earlier, and Doremi begins suspecting the proprietor is a witch. Especially when she starts lining up to the general description of witches from her witch book. The proprietor notices Doremi making the connections, begins panicking, and begging Doremi not to say it. She does, and she turns out to be correct.
Cue Forced Transformation. The newly identified witch ends up getting turned into a small green frog-like blob called a Witch Frog. The white cat who was lying in the witch's lap reveals she is a fairy; the witch's Fairy Companion. Doremi, weirded out by all of this, attempts to leave, but the witch frog and fairy stop her. They have decided that since Doremi caught her, she must become a Witch Apprentice so she may turn her back to normal. They introduce themselves as Majo Rika and Lala.
Doremi is scared of the prospect, but she reconsiders when she realizes she's going to become a real witch and promptly jumps at the call, much to Majo Rika's consternation. She is handed a box that conveniently holds three Transformation Trinkets, and she manages to grab one of them. Instead of waiting for instructions, Doremi starts pressing buttons and ends up summoning the apprentice uniform. Majo Rika tells her she has to put it on before the music stops, but Doremi has trouble getting it on, and it vanishes. Second time's the charm, but Majo Rika now finds Doremi questionable.
Doremi summons her Magic Wand and begins trying to cast spells. She conjures a steak and makes it bigger, but before she could dig in, it vanishes. Since she's new to magic, her spells won't last very long. Before Majo Rika could explain any more basics, Doremi summons a broom and begins flying. Haphazardly. Lala goes after her to keep her from getting into trouble, and the two end up at a soccer game between Doremi's school and a rival school.
Doremi sees what's going on and, in a panic, uses magic to stop time and move Igarashi out of harm's way. Unfortunately, this lets the opposing team score a point. She moves to hide, nearly getting caught in-uniform by Maki, and she sees that Maki has a charm from Majo Rika's shop. Once hidden, Lala informs Doremi that if anyone sees her as a witch apprentice, she will be transformed into a blob as well. Igarashi gets hurt off screen and Doremi witnesses Maki wishing to heal him. Her charm turns out to be fully magical and it heals him. However, it shatters, and she end sup suffering his wound. Doremi tries again, this time with the intention of making sure Igarashi scores a point, so she stop time again, and lines up a perfect shot.
She takes too long, unfortunately, and she gets nailed in the face by Igarashi's shot. Majo Rika appears just in time and uses her own magic to change Doremi out of her uniform before anyone could see her. Later, Doremi finds herself in the school clinic with Hazuki by her side. The two begin discussing events before overhearing Igarashi and Maki in the other room. Both spy on them, and is seen asking Maki out. She accepts, and Doremi laments her unrequited feelings for him.
Outside, Lala and Majo Rika discuss Doremi. The former believes it'll be fun having her around, but the latter considers her a pain in the neck.
Doremi comments on Igarashi and Maki being together, but Hazuki ruins it by mentioning that Doremi had a crush on him, too. This drops Doremi's mood as the episode ends.
Cue the On the Next episode preview, complete with a faster-paced and bouncier version of the opening tune! This is followed by the hopeful-yet-sad-sounding ending theme.
