The official website for Mahō Tsukai no Yome: Hoshi Matsu Hito (The Ancient Magus’ Bride – The Man Who Waits for Stars), the three-part anime project based on Kore Yamazaki’s manga The Ancient Magus’ Bride (Mahō Tsukai no Yome), began streaming a preview on Friday for the anime’s first part.
The anime project will tell an original story from before Chise meets the Magus.
Hirotaka Katō (Empire of Corpses animation director, Hozuki’s Coolheadedness) is designing the characters for animation, while Bamboo (Hozuki’s Coolheadedness, Empire of Corpses) is handling the background art.
The first part will also have a limited two-week run in eight theaters throughout Japan starting on August 13.
