What if I say that the masterpiece anime will back in an OAD avatar? Will you be excited to step into the beauty and the beast theme once again? Well, I already am.

The official Twitter account for Ancient Magus’ Bride manga announced that the franchise is coming up with a new original anime disc (OAD) series. It would be titled, ‘The Ancient Magus’ Bride: The Boy from the West and the Knight of the Mountain Haze.’

The staff members reported that the OAD series will be the first part of a new anime project. This three-episode OAD will be shipped with the manga’s 16th, 17th, and 18th volumes. The 16th volume will be released on September 10.

The trailer mainly revolves around Chise and Elias, showing us the scenes of their wedding. It features many fascinating magical creatures, including a dragon and a black-coloured wolf. We also get a rough idea about the antagonist of this new project.

A new animation studio, Studio Kafka, has been established specifically for this OAD series. The staff details have already been released, revealing us the names who will probably be taking care of the rest part of this project as well.

Meanwhile, the cast of the anime TV series will be reprising their roles.

The new anime will probably be set sometime before Chise enrols in her college, when Spriggan visits Chise and Elisa’s place to inform them of a strange new Wild Hunt.

The next part of the story will draw the spotlight on Gabriel, a boy with absolutely no one to rely upon, who lives in an unfamiliar land and circumstances.

We can say that the first season lived up to the hype, but this glowing praise overshadowed some of the major pacing and plot issues it had.

I hope that the franchise will not repeat the same mistakes, thereby making the overall experience a little less confusing for us.
