    Synopsis:

    Centuries apart, the Wild Hunt, a spectral order of fae knights, emerges from slumber, reshaping the landscape with their passage. When an accident disrupts their ancient guidance, the Hunt's movements become erratic and destructive, leaving a trail of ecological decay. Elias Ainsworth is tasked by a mysterious entity to recover a crucial piece of the Hunt’s lost guide – a steed vital to their cohesion.

    Simultaneously, Gabriel, a boy yearning for excitement, inadvertently awakens a knight from the fragmented stone. Burdened with fractured memories and a singular purpose to return, this guide must navigate a blighted world, seeking reunion with his comrades before the Hunt's chaotic state precipitates irreversible consequences. The series explores themes of duty, memory, and the delicate balance between the natural and supernatural realms, set against a backdrop of hauntingly beautiful, yet decaying, forests.

      It’s decent. The story is fine, the release schedule was awful and I wish Chise and Elias were in it more. I understand that each episode was packaged with a manga volume, hence why it took a year for the full thing to air, but this information didn’t make it detract from my experience with this any less. Besides the release date I found the kid (Gabriel) a bit annoying. Overall it’s a fine Magus’ Bride OVA, I just wish Chise and Elias were in it a bit more because they didn’t really have any agency in the plot whatsoever. Still enjoyed it and am lookingforward to season 2!

      This is a 3 episode OVA and sequel for the Ancient Magus' bride that is relevant to the main story. The OVA is about a single story/subject and is pretty similar to the first season. The story is interesting and dense. Even though it's only one hour long, it feels like it lasts way longer because of how many things happen and the excellent atmosphere. Just like in the main anime, not everything is explained completely which leads to an air of mystery. There's also some minor worldbuilding with new concepts from the world being introduced. The characters are detailed and very realistic. Of coursethere's Chise and Elias as main characters but in this OVA a human boy named Gabriel also plays a big role. His personality and relationship with his parents is very realistic which added to the story and I felt like it made it easier to get immersed in the story. nnThe voice acting was good and the same as in the main anime. The animation was good but the music especially was great. The music suited the animation well, brought about an air of mystery and made watching this a nice experience. nnOverall this OVA is definitely worth watching if you enjoyed the first season. It is a sequel, relevant to the main story and just has a great story with good animation and music.

      The story is pretty and sweet like the original series, though it lacks the drive that comes with building on established characters. It doesn’t help that our lead, Gabe, feels like little more than a frustrated kid who is upset at having to use an inhaler, which is fine, but it’s not particularly interesting. The titular Knight is more interesting as a force of nature slightly humanized, but the emotional core of the series is the tension between the decision to go with the Knight and that to stay with his parents, and the lack of characterization for his parents, particularly his father, just makesit seem like the fantastic world the Knight represents might be better. But we never grapple with that beyond what is effectively mind control, making it all seem pretty pointless.
