Review of The Ancient Magus' Bride

A truly MAGICAL anime from the plot to animation to the music. A lot of moments will make you feel as if you’ve transported into a magical world. So in that sense this anime has done a fantastical job!! The ancient magus bride is a fantasy romance anime which is set in Europe, only chise Japanese. I think this is one of those few anime which may suit English dub better due to its setting. However japanese dub is pretty phenomenal too. If you suffer from depression etc, then you’ll have a lot to relate with chise, the fl. It’s a story about how sheis born afresh in the sense that after a horrid past she learns to find positivity in everything, after being cast away by everyone she still sacrifices herself for the sake of others….and last but not the least, she finds love in what is technically not human, the ancient magus…the magus too has quite an interesting backstory to him, and we’re still in the dark regarding his backstory….maybe we’ll get to know in s2….it is also a story of him who has no memory of his normal self to understand the world of normal once again.

After the news of season 2 was announced I was so excited but at the same time I couldn’t recall much apart from few scenes here and there because there has been a gap of 5-5.5 years. This rewatch made me fall in love with it all over again, be it the plot, music or voice acting of everyone. I have read a bit of the manga too but here I would recommend to give preference to the anime>>>> although the events are paced slightly different from the manga, so choose beforehand whichever you wanna stick to…

The season 2 is about to air next month so genuinely watch this if you haven’t or rewatch it again if you watched it while it was airing back then because even though I thought I remembered the storyline enough, I had forgotten so much!
