We may have sensed the magic swirls in the background, but now it’s official. Elias and Chise are back, The Ancient Magus’ Bride has been in production, and the anime will air in April 2023.
It’s the story of a dying girl bought at auction by a mysterious figure. The monstrous-looking entity is a thing of magic, but that’s only the start of the story.
Season 2 of the anime will have a new series. Studio Kafka is taking over from WIT. There have been OAD episodes since the first season.
Here’s how Crunchyroll, who streamed season 1, described the anime.
Hatori Chise has lived a life full of neglect and abuse, devoid of anything resembling love. Far from the warmth of family, she has had her share of troubles and pitfalls. Just when all hope seems lost, a fateful encounter awaits her. When a man with the head of a beast, wielding strange powers, obtains her through a slave auction, Chise’s life will never be the same again. The man is a “magus,”a sorcerer of great power, who decides to free Chise from the bonds of captivity. The magus then makes a bold statement: Chise will become his apprentice–and his bride!
