Wonderful Things

Just a Spanish guy who loves anime, HP, Ghibli and lots of wonderful things

[bakainutil]

I just came from the cinema where my couple and I went watching the Magical Doremi movie on fullscreen!

After all this time, and even knowing about my own translation and the Doremi-Fansub official one, I was waiting for it so much not to make myself any ‘spoiler’, and the day finally arrived.

The experience was so damn intense, so wonderfully awesome, that I can’t describe it with words. I’m really thankful for being Spanish and having the opportunity to enjoy this film on cinemas! I’ll obviously purchase the DVD edition when it comes out x333.

The other photos are just to show my merchandise. I bought the big charm on an anime convention, and the other three ones are from an online store, sadly you can’t find any of them nowadays.

I just discovered this wonderful thing in a Japanese snacks vending machine in my town! So I obviously had to buy them, it’s Precure after all x3.

The chewing gum is savourless, but I don’t mind at all, the stickers and the packaging are too kawaii not to enjoy this!

[bakainutil]

I finally bought a Charlie Brown plush to keep company to Snoopy! It was really difficult to find in my country, and it turned out to be expensive (over 25$), but I like him a lot! <3.

And yep, there’s a Totoro and a Mr Bean’s Teddy too. My plush collection is big.

[bakainutil]

Go get it on torrent.

So the official release is finally here! Damn I worked for nothing, haha.

I still think that the file is not as good as I’d like, being in MKV format rather than in MP4, and having a huge size (2,7GB), but if you want quality I guess you have to pay for it. My file was only 250-670mb depending on the quality format of the original raw (excellent for a cd format).

Please share it everywhere, for all Doremi fans!

Translation Progress and other related things (as in the image)

I just talked with the French translator that did the PrettyTrad release we all know, who has encouraged me to wait for the official Doremi Fansubs release, that is more or less on the same progress as I am, with timing and translation check ongoing (30-35%).

This advice was made to me basically because this person doesn’t think that the French translation made is good enough, and could have many translation mistakes, so I’m asking you directly...

Should I keep on translating, or should I wait for the official Doremi Fansubs release, that is going to be obviously better in quality than mine? Please let me know on dm or in comments. Thank you very much in advance.

[bakainutil]

Translation in progress!

I had forgotten how hard it is to do a complete translation, the timing and all the process when you’re alone, but I’m pretty sure it will be worth it!

Sorry in advance if I take a while, but I’m doing this in my free time between work and ‘normal life’ just because I’m a big fan of Ojamajo Doremi and want to share it with everyone. The original French translator hasn’t given me an answer yet, so I’m doing it completely on my own. Sorry for any mistakes I may have on the translation. I understand a little bit of Japanese, and have a B2 level on French and a C1 on English, but my native language keeps being Spanish, haha. Thinking and speaking in three diferent languages at the same time is kind of strange, to be honest.

Project Status: 15% Complete. Will be updating it.

Thank you very much for this! I’m translating it in English this week as soon as I’m able (the actual subtitles are in French, and I have to ask for permission to the owner), and I’ll share it with every English-speaking people out there on my own Tumblr. If there is someone that wants it translated to Spanish too just let me know on dm.

[bakainutil]

My last purchases are mega awesome!

Being an Ojamajo Doremi and Heartcatch Precure! fan, the artbook shown is the best to know everything about them and enjoy. It was kind of expensive (around 30$) and it will take about two months to arrive, but not having it in my life would be a tragedy :< . I will take some photos when it arrives ^33^.

The Tinkerbell Disney manga is another one on the series that I previously showed here, so when it arrives I’ll have four of five, and will finally buy Rani and the Mermaid Lagoon when its price gets a bit lower than today. As always, I’ll show it here. My Disney manga collection is almost full right now, I’m so happy! x33.

[bakainutil]

So I just got my parcel, as I said on my last post. Sorry for the bad quality. I did another order in advance with all the Kilala Princess series (5 volumes), and one of them came today too, but I’m still waiting for the other ones to arrive along with the Descendants manga too. I’ll take some more photos when they come ^3^.

I’m gonna enjoy reading all of these manga, but I don’t think I’m getting more than this, haha x3.

[bakainutil]

Sorry for the lack of recent updates, I’ve been busy with irl issues, nothing important. Here you can see my present Disney Manga Collection so far, but I’m planning on getting more when it’s possible. In fact, I just ordered three more tankoubon, the ones I’m uploading here too (both are Disney Fairies related, as you can see >//<). The Tinkerbell Q-Posket was in my collection way before knowing Disney Manga existed, but being that I obviously like Disney Fairies she had to be here ^3^.

[bakainutil]

I just got my parcel with my Ojamajo Doremi tankoubon!! x333.

It was strange, because I ordered the second one and I got the first, which makes it better in fact, being that I’m not gonna have any luck finding the next ones.

It’s 130 pages long, so it’s probably pretty expensive, but you know, it’s my favourite series of all times, so it was finally worth it!

Hope that you like the photos I took. I’m planning on finding the raw and translating and editing it into English, as I don’t seem to find it anywhere. It’s a pity I’ve only got the first one, I would translate the whole series if I could. If I finally manage to do it I’ll let you know, and I’ll share it with everyone.

Please have a good day and take care!

Ojamajo Doremi Season 1, Episode 28

I watched this episode just after the Motto one, so what I’m going to say it’s totally logical, but it affected my overall impression in a whole way.

So basically this episode is Doremi talking with Popu-chan at first (the first pic represents all the ‘boyfriends’ she has), then telling her sister Doremi to find some boyfriend of her own. After that she meets Hazuki and Aiko on the summer house Hazuki’s parents have, and a tennis court where the ‘action’ happens. And yes, that yellow hair is Reika Tamaki fighting with Doremi for the same guy, who has made both of them fall instantly in love with him.

Reika does nothing more on the episode apart from being selfish and proud of being in a wealthy family (her usual behavior on the first season), and the secondary characters (Majorika and Lala) are there just to laugh at them, so...

What do we have here? The cliché episode where love is in the air and Doremi ends as always being rejected, nothing new.

Why do I say my impression was affected? Because the series was made that way. If you watch it from the very beginning, it grows on content and adult-related themes to let kids know wonderful things on life should be ok. On the contrary, if you watch if from last to first season, characters such as Reika Tamaki, who has a wonderful growth on her personality through the series, lose a significant importance on the overall.

Watching this episode normally is probably ok and makes you laugh and enjoy it, but doing it as I did was a whole wrong thing, if I had known it (remember that I watch them randomly) I’d probably done it on normal situation.

Ojamajo Doremi Season 3, Episode 32

In spite of being just a ‘normal’ episode I enjoyed this one. It’s been too much time since the last time I watched it, but the rivalry depicted between Reika and Masato for head boy/girl is realistic and wonderful (and Masaharu later too). Both characters are very mean (Reika for selfish, Masato for know-it-all), but have their reasons for that. As always, Momoko is the kindest person of all, proposing Reika as her class representative even if some of their classmates may think she is kind of crazy for that (did I mention Momoko is my favourite character of the main five? Haha x33).

As a summary I’d say this episode is so-so, but lets us know a little more about Reika’s and Masato’s personalities which give us a kind explanation of what’s going to be of them on later episodes from Season 4.

[bakainutil]

If you are wondering why this pic is here... I just bought this tankoubon from Amazon Italy, the only site I could find it. Its original price was 4€ and had to pay 16€ for it, but at least I can say I’ll have the original manga translated in Italian (and yeah, I can read it). I’ll post some photos when my parcel arrives (probably in 15-20 days) so as you can see it. It’s really difficult to find them right now, so it’s kind of normal it’s over-priced.

This is just a writing message for everyone that wants to read it. If you don’t do it I thank you anyway.

Why am I writing this? Let’s go to the fact.

I’m 32yo, and I was born male. When I was a child I liked to wear my mother’s clothes better than my dad’s, but even being that way I didn’t know that was ‘strange’, and my parents didn’t care. I was always way more feminine than masculine, both in mind and body, but I didn’t care and I grew up as a man, so I thought I was straight all the time. That’s a simple summary, obviously there’s more things on it, but no need to explain them.

After a lot of thinking, and after talking with my actual couple (we’ve been together for nearly 9 years, and counting) I realised I was a genderfluid nonbinary. And yeah, it took me 32 years to get to that point, even having all the clues from my childhood.

Am I stupid for being so late on noticing? Probably yes. But just wanted to say that realising it made my life way better, because I accepted myself even more than before. The most important thing in this world is being yourself, no matter what happens near you. I’m still wondering how many people don’t want to be themselves just because society keeps rejecting them. The sooner to know it the better.

Everyone out there, please don’t be afraid to be yourselves. If someone near you doesn’t respect you for who you are they don’t deserve you.

[bakainutil]

Soooo... I just discovered that this existed TODAY after looking for the movie everywhere (it seems an impossible task), and I’m here sharing it for my Doremi-fan followers just in case you haven’t watched it yet.

My impressions? How is it possible that it’s just a little 6min preview and I was crying almost all the time? This just makes me want to watch it even more than before >/////<. So I guess every Doremi fan should watch it sooner or later.

I’m planning on coming back with my random Doremi Episodes reviews after all this time (life issues, nothing to worry about), but I do have other things to upload such as photos of my collections, mainly focused on shôjo manga. I shall be uploading alternatively from time to time.

Hope that everyone is wonderfully OK. Please have a good day and take care!

After a full-time of inactivity, here I am again!

Looking for Magical Doremi is finally here! We’ve been waiting for a long time due to COVID-19, but the waiting will be worth it, I’m sure!

For those that still don’t know what this film is about, just remember that the three main characters from the original series (Doremi, Aiko and Hazuki) are just ‘meant to be there’, as it’s more like an adult-sided film (the three new characters are 20yo, 22yo and 27yo, where magic is a key for them). Being a full grown-up as I am, but having enjoyed the original series at its fullest (it keeps being my favourite anime from all times), this is a wonderful time to re-enjoy it like a child.

Please read this ANN review if you’re interested in advance (without major spoilers) to have a general idea where the film is going.
