A love letter to fandom and nostalgia; this is a film for anyone who's ever been a fan of anything. It hit especially hard for me given I had just completed the entirety of Ojamajo Doremi prior to watching this, and the last episode of Dokkaan! is still fresh in my mind. While I do like this film, I don't love it. Visually, I find it's a bit lacklustre for a theatrical film, especially when looking at characters in the backgrounds. That said, I do appreciate the use of music from the show. That made me smile. You don't need to see the show before watching this,though I would still recommend doing so anyway because it's just a damn good show (it's a serious contender for best magical girl anime).
