Racist Insta reel about tanning

From official Insta acc: https://www.instagram.com/doremi\_20th\_anniv

You can already see comments complaining about the clearly racist subtext
A comment pointed out that they could have drawn Doremi’s skin red to show that she’s burned. That just shows how purely aesthetic their fear of the sun is, and not at all about health (skin cancer, etc)

I’m surprised because the episode dedicated to Beth and Momoko is one of the most well-known internationally, but I guess one episode isn’t enough to put an end to the racist biases of an entire culture

This post also made me think about the fact that Onpu concentrates a lot of Japanese beauty stigmas: the issue of skin color but also weight. I remember that in many episodes, she would stop herself from eating certain things to avoid gaining weight, or she would eat while emphasizing her guilt for doing so
Unfortunately, I don’t recall Onpu’s issues with her own body (weight and skin color) ever being addressed in the anime

The Queen is selfish

Currently rewatching Ojamajo Doremi and I'm honestly thinking why couldn't the girls just continue being witch apprentices. Like I know they become witch apprentices again in the light novels and the message of the show is achieving your dreams without the help of magic but still.

I feel like after everything they've accomplished whish is A LOT they deserve the curtesy of being able to freely use magic, keep their fairies and even travel to the witch world. There is literally no reason to strip them away from all of that. They raised Hana, saved her life twice, helped many witches restore their faith in humans, awakened the former queen and help lifted the frog curse and so much more. If I were one of them I would've honestly demanded to stay a witch apprentice cause I rhink I deserve that curtesy after everything I've done in favor of the witch world??? And if not that then I think I would deserve to atleast keep my fairy and see Hana whenever. Like seriously the ending was super sad cause everyone got seperated but if they continued to be witch apprentices and be able to travel through the witch world tehy could easily visit eachother and even visit Momo in the US.

The Queen could've done so much more for those nice girls honestly or maybe Im the selfish one and want the easy way out lol
