posted on by Andrew Osmond
On Monday August 21, Crunchyroll will release Blu-ray and DVD editions of The Ancient Magus' Bride - The Boy from the West and the Knight of the Blue Storm.
The creator of the original manga, Kore Yamazaki herself wrote the story of the OAD (original anime disc), which is set some time before Chise enrolls in The College. The story begins with Spriggan visiting Chise and Elias' home, bringing news of a strange new Wild Hunt. Another part of the story will focus on Gabriel, a boy who has tired of parting with friends and living in an unfamiliar land and circumstances. He will part the veil that hides him from the world of magic.
Kazuaki Terasawa (Anonymous Noise episode director) directed the anime at Studio Kafka, an animation studio that was established specifically for the OAD project. Aya Takaha returns from the television anime to pen the script alongside Yoko Yonaiyama (Uma Musume Pretty Derby episode scriptwriter). Hirotaka Katō returned as character designer from the previous anime, and Junichi Matsumoto also returned to compose the music.
