New Ancient Magus' Bride OVAs lets go! Can't wait until they release, let's hope this signals a season 2 on the horizon as well!

It’s really nice to see this series come back again for more adaptation, though sadly without the hand of Wit Studio, hence why the animation of the new stuff in the PV didn’t feel quite polished.

I remember back when I first watched S1 I thought it was amazing. Nowadays I had to take into consideration of how perplexing the second half of it felt. In short, mixed feelings about s1 in the end, but at least here in OVA form I guess the condensation would mitigate most of the damage this time.

I haven't actually seen the anime yet but omg, that key visual looks amazing. I definitely plan on watching magus bride before this ova comes out.

The kv alone has made me look forward to this.

Yes more anime content for Magus Bride! Here's hoping that this leads into Season 2 as well, the manga has around enough content for one cour now so it's not far fetched.

I mean most of the staff is from Wit Studio and honestly, the new stuff looks even equal or maybe even better at times to me. I feel like people always see a studio change and then forget to look at the staff and or interviews. The Majority of the team is the same with some newly added people. It looks like it might even have better production than the first season which is rare for a season 2.

Yea you have a point, cause what we see so far isn’t necessarily the finished product. If the staff has a handful of freelancers ready, it’ll definitely have the potential to surpass s1’s aesthetics, but only time will tell.

Just not sure if that will necessarily improve the writing (cause I’m not the biggest fan of the manga), but the visual directing may help.

I am personally a fan of the manga but hey hopefully you enjoy the anime. I am pretty sure this OVA is going to be original anyway kind of like the first OVA and then they might do a season 2 I suppose.

I'm very excited for this. The PV looks good too for the new studio but time will tell. Been starving since loving the rewatch so much to have it in my top 20 anime overall, so I'm gassed.

Second half of the trailer is showcasing what would be content of some future sequel season, so I guess it's some kind of a nod to to us that it will happen eventually after these OVAs finish.

It's an anime original story, set between the end of S1 and the current manga content (which would be S2 if it gets adapted).

Loved the OVA, not a big fan of the show, but maybe this will be better again

Exactly my thoughts, what a weird coincidence lmao.

The prequel ovas were absolute perfection, but the anime definitively wasnt. Even then it was pretty and enjoyable, so I hope we can get more of that.

Little happy and a little disappointed as well. I was really hoping for a 2nd season soon and with this OVA, all it does is push back another season, that is if we get one at all. Still looking forward to it though.

I cant even tell why it was like this. I guess the OVAs are just more "magical" in the fantasy sense. Like seeing Hogwarts for the first time. The anime was more streamlined. Basically a completely different show.

last time around we got the announcement of season 1 after the last part of the ova released so it might follow that trend again.
