The Ancient Magus Bride
The Ancient Magus Bride may not sound all that appealing at first. It’s an anime about a young woman who has gone her entire life feeling unloved and unwanted but when a powerful sorcerer obtains her through a slave auction, her life takes a drastic turn. Rather than keeping Chise as his slave, the sorcerer decides to make Chise his wife and apprentice instead. This type of storyline could have easily gone downhill rather quickly, but The Ancient Magus Bride came right out the gate with a promising first episode. The tone for this 24-episode series is set wonderfully and in such a short amount of time a strong emotional tie is made between Chise and her audience. If The Ancient Magus Bride continues to adapt the manga series well, it will surely be a huge hit that lands at the top of your must watch fall anime list this year.
