A Universal uploaded the uncredited opening sequence of the anime series adaptation of the manga online The Witch and the Beast (Majo to Yajuu) by Kousuke Satake. In the video we can hear the theme “Soumonka” by sokoninaru.

The animation is from the studio Yokohama Animation Lab (Miru Tights), the direction is by Takayuki Hamana (Sorcerous Stabber Orphen) and the character design is by Hiroya Iijima (Afro Samurai).

Ashaf – A soft-spoken man with delicate features, a coffin strapped to his back and an entourage of black ravens. Guideau – A wild and violent girl with long fangs and eyes like a beast. This sinister couple appears one day in a town enslaved by a witch, a ruler with magic coursing through her tattooed body who has convinced the townspeople that she is their hero. But Ashaf and Guideau know better. They live by a creed: “Where a witch goes, only curses and disasters follow.” They have a score to settle and will not hesitate to take down anyone who stands in their way, be it an angry mob or an army garrison.
