The first Ojamajo Doremi anime series originally premiered in Japan in 1999, and 4Kids began broadcasting a heavily edited version of the series in the United States in 2005 under the title Magical DoReMi. Looking for Magical DoReMi (Majo Minarai o Sagashite), the anime film commemorating the 20th anniversary of Ojamajo Doremi, opened in 2020 after a delay. It won the Best Animation Film award at the 75th Mainichi Film Awards in 2021.

The anime centers on Anna Akechi, a second year middle school student who lives in Makoto Mirai Town. She travels back in time from 2027 to 1999 when her "companion fairy" named Pochitan appears on her birthday. In 1999 Makoto Mirai Town, Anna meets Mikuru Kobayashi, another second year middle school student who dreams of becoming a great detective. The two girls witness the troubles caused by the Phantom Thieves who steal people's precious belongings, and they transform into great Precure detectives and use their deductive reasoning skills to protect the people's smiles.
