A newly drawn three-sided back case illustration by Yoshihiko Umakoshi has been revealed for the Motto! Ojamajo Doremi Blu-ray Box, which releases on December 2. The box was greenlit after a pre-order campaign surpassed 500 orders. The series, the third Ojamajo Doremi installment, aired from 2001 to 2002 and marked its 25th anniversary this February.
The illustration shows the five main witch apprentices in new poses on the box's back cover. Umakoshi, the original character designer for the series, drew the piece specifically for this release. The Blu-ray Box set includes all 50 episodes of the 2001-2002 season, which introduced American character Momoko to the cast. Toei Animation produced the series. Pre-orders opened during a request period; the 500-order threshold was met, moving the project to full production. The December 2 release date is set for Japan.
