You can stream The Ancient Magus' Bride (2017) on Crunchyroll with a subscription.

Hatori Chise has lived a life full of neglect and abuse, devoid of anything resembling love. Far from the warmth of family, she has had her share of troubles and pitfalls. Just when all hope seems lost, a fateful encounter awaits her. When a man with the head of a beast, wielding strange powers, obtains her through a slave auction, Chise's life will never be the same again. The man is a "magus,"a sorcerer of great power, who decides to free Chise from the bonds of captivity. The magus then makes a bold statement: Chise will become his apprentice--and his bride!

Enchanting landscapes of folklore and strange magic collide when a lonely girl finds herself apprenticed to a creature with a skull for a head. This visual feast balances quiet, melancholic intimacy with the breathtaking wonder of a world where the supernatural feels both ancient and alive.
