MyAnimeList describes the synopsis as follows,
“Chise was able to accept Elias and herself, if not necessarily everything about her situation. After Cartaphilus fell back into a slumber that would not last forever, Chise was able to go back to her regular life. Then she receives an invitation from a mutual aid organization for mages called the College.
Under the British Library exists a secret society of mages. Encounters and interactions with people are about to open some new doors. This is a story about saving yourself to save another.”
The first season was directed by Norihiro Naganuma and produced by Wit Studio.
Prior to the anime, Wit Studio released the three-part OVA ‘The Ancient Magus Bride: Those Awaiting a Star’ in 2016. It was directed by Norihiro Naganuma and music composed by Junichi Matsumoto.
