"MAGICAL DO RE MI 4 (Episode 40)"
2002 | 24min. | Color
Hosoda directed this episode of a popular TV anime series. Doremi loses sight of her path and meets a never-aging retired witch. A unique work with lots of philosophical connotations, e.g. a slowly moving glass work, represents the flow of time, questioning the meaning of being a witch. Producer Maruyama (then Madhouse CEO) saw this anime and that led to the creation of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
Director: Mamoru Hosoda
Cast: Chiemi Chiba, Tomoyo Harada

Her longing for the wider world and new encounters are shown dynamically in the opening with frequent use of 3D camera movements. The ending is contrasted with fixed cameras and horizontal movements, showing Nadja's reflection in a mirror calmly.
