Crunchyroll to Stream “Ancient Magus Bride” in English Dub

Good news to those wanting to stream Ancient Magus Bride in English dub! Streaming platform Crunchyroll has announced that they will start streaming the English dub of the popular fantasy anime series on February 6 at 6:00 pm EST worldwide except in Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.

Ancient Magus’ Bride is written and illustrated by Kore Yamazaki and is currently being published in Japan by Mag Garden in its Monthly Comic Garden magazine, while licensing rights for the series in the US is handled by Seven Seas Entertainment. Wit Studio adapted the series into a TV anime and aired it from October 2017 to March 2018.

It tells the story of Chise Hatori, an orphaned high school student who is shunned by everyone because of her mysterious abilities. Having nowhere else to go, she sells herself off in an auction where she is bought for five million pounds by a magus named Elias Ainsworth, a seven-foot tall humanoid with an animal skull for a head. He brings her with him to Britain, and under his guidance, discovers her true identity and his world in which she truly belongs.

A new animated short was released for the series last March 2019. Entitled “The Ancient Magus’ Bride Academy Edition”, it covers the “Gakuin” (Academy) arc of the manga wherein female protagonist Chise is studying magic in a university. Wit Studio returns for the animated short, as well as the voice actors for key characters Chise Hatori (VA. Atsumi Tanezaki) and Elias Ainsworth (VA. Ryota Takeuchi). JUNNA, who sang the TV anime’s OP, also returns to sing the theme song “Sky”.

In the animated short her magus guardian, Elias, is still with her, and so is her magical familiar Ruth. Other characters who are seen in the animated short include Silky and Cartaphilius (VA. Ayumu Murase).
