Kito the Night Bell
Summary
“Sorcerer“...an accursed name given to the most feared heretics known to the world. Roan, one such sorcerer, lives a life worse than slavery, one forced upon him by a circus troupe. Things only change when he runs into Kito, a fellow sorcerer and a member of the Nightbells, a notorious vigilante group. It won't be much longer before these most hated of people are the very ones tasked with saving the world, in this magical fantasy exploding with style!

















... and the second season of the Anime did a better job of pacing than I thought they would. I think they moved the Elf village arc from before hostilities with the Principality began to the inter-war period, aka the start of the second season, and used that to pad it out. Good call if that's what they did. In any event. Good season.
