... that the film poster for Looking for Magical Doremi appeared in an episode of Healin' Good Pretty Cure to promote the film?

- ALT1:... that the film Looking for Magical Doremi depicts real-life locations of where Ojamajo Doremi is based? Source: Anime News Network (link): "They go on trips together across Japan, doubling down on some serious anime tourism by visiting a ton of different places seen in the various seasons of Magical DoReMi."
- ALT2:... the dandelions seen in Looking for Magical Doremi was a reference to the production staff's previous work, Yume no Crayon Oukoku? Source: Natalie (link): "観客からのQ&Aコーナーでは、「どれみ」と「魔女見習い」に共通する「タンポポの綿毛」というモチーフについて質問が。すると佐藤監督は「これは『夢のクレヨン王国』までさかのぼる話なんですが、『クレヨン王国』は綿毛がふわっと飛んでいく場面で終わるんです。[In the Q & A corner from the audience, there was a question about the "dandelion fluff" commonly seen in [Ojamajo] Doremi and Looking for Magical Doremi, to which director [Junichi] Sato said, "This goes all the way back to Yume no Crayon Oukoku, where Yume no Crayon Oukoku ended with a scene were a fluff flutters and flies [to the sky]."]."

I have decided not to review this nomination formally, but I have a couple of comments. 1. Can a flesh-and-blood actor "star" in an anime? 2. I think ALT1 is the most interesting, but it doesn't look grammatically correct to me ("Locations where the anime is based on"). --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:48, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

@Moscow Connection: For your first point, yes, they can -- all three women in the film have starring roles. Other anime that has starred "flesh-and-blood actors" include Josee, the Tiger and the Fish, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and Michiko and Hatchin. Also, lately, anime has starred stage actors due to the popularity of 2.5D musicals, such as Shohei Hashimoto, Shogo Sakamoto, Asami Tano, etc. ALT1 should say "locations of where the anime is based." lullabying (talk) 21:02, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

The article is long enough and new enough. I assume good faith on the references that I cannot read. A QPQ has been completed. I prefer the original hook as the most interesting - it is also directly cited. SL93 (talk) 00:41, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
