Last week, the first episode of Wistoria: Wand and Sword anime premiered on Crunchyroll and it impressed fans with its stunning fantasy visuals and wonderfully-animated fight scene as it introduced protagonist Will Serfort, a young student at the Regarden Magical Academy shunned by most students and faculty due to his lack of magical aptitude. However, he has mastered swordsmanship and he gained the ability to counter any opponent's attacks after witnessing them once.
Today, the official website of the anime has revealed a 14-second teaser, preview images, and official synopsis for Episode 2, which is titled Unyieldingly (based on the rough English translation). The second episode is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, July 14, 2024. Check out the teaser for the upcoming episode below:
