‘Ancient Magus’ Bride’ Anime Dub Clip Adds Some Chise And Cartiphilius

Funimation wrapped up their dub of The Ancient Magus’ Bride anime series but there’ll still be more clips to sift through. While the majority of the clips that we’ve seen over the last half year have been mood or dialogue focused, those have worked well to really build the style and atmosphere of the story well, including this one with Chise waking up in Cartiphilius’ lab. The project has Kyle Phillips directing based on the scripts by Bonny Clinkenbeard with the two leads cast with Dani Chambers as Chise Hatori and Brian Mathis as Elias Ainsworth.

The series is based on the manga by manga creator Kore Yamazaki and set Norihiro Naganuma to direct it based on the script from Aya Takaha. Hirotaka Kato is working on the character designs for it.

Known as Mahou Tsukai no Yome in its original Japanese form, Seven Seas Entertainment acquired The Ancient Magus Bride manga back in 2014 for release. The manga series comes from Kore Yamazaki, their third professionally published work, and the first North American volume landed in May 2015. The series is currently being serialized in Monthly Comic Garden with six volumes have been released so far in Japan.

Plot concept: Hatori Chise is only 16, but she has lost far more than most. With neither family nor hope, it seems all doors are closed to her. But, a chance encounter began to turn the rusted wheels of fate. In her darkest hour, a mysterious magus appears before Chitose, offering a chance she couldn’t turn down. This magus who seems closer to demon than human, will he bring her the light she desperately seeks, or drown her in ever deeper shadows?
