The Ancient Magus Bride - Part 1

The first 12 episodes of the Japanese anime based on the manga by Kore Yamazaki. Teenager Chise Hatori (voice of Atsumi Tanezaki) has been abandoned by her parents and allows herself to be sold at auction where she is bought by Elias Ainsworth (Ryouta Takeuchi), a magus who is only half-human and wears an animal skull for a head, and taken to her new home in the British countryside. The unlikely pairing offers Chise the hope of stability and for Elias it is an opportunity to better understand human emotions.
