Ancient Magus Bride Season 2: Key Visual Revealed + Release Date Confirmed
Ancient Magus Bride Season 2 gets its first look and premiere date!
Once in a while, we come across an anime whose premise isn’t impressive and sounds boring, to say the least. Still, first impressions aren’t everything in anime, as the story takes time to develop before it can be fully appreciated.
With studio’s anime adaption of Kore Yamazaki s’ manga series The Ancient Magus Bride is just another case of not judging a book by its cover.
The story follows a 15-year-old depressed orphan girl Chise Hatori who is on the verge of committing suicide.
Just as she is about to jump off of her school building, she is approached by a man who convinces her to sell herself to slavery so that someone else can at least make use of her body.
Chise agrees and allows it to be bought by any buyer for the price of having a place called home. She is bought by an ancient demonic-looking monster Elias Ainsworth who, despite his appearance, is smart and kind to Chise.
Elias explains that he picked Chise because of her high affinity for magical power and wants her to work as an apprentice. He also proposes marriage, but Chise has no response as she is just glad to feel wanted.
Elias doesn’t understand emotions and doesn’t share many things about himself, but he will do everything in his power to keep Chise.
The series covers plenty of challenging topics like fairness, suffering, desperation, trauma, technology versus magic or nature, and immortality versus mortality.
