Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia is one of the strongest anime premieres of the season. Rather than telling a conventional fantasy story, it uses thirteenth-century Persia during the Mongol invasions to explore knowledge, philosophy, and civilization through a historical lens. Taken in by Fatima and her family of scholars in the city of Tus, she first sought escape but soon discovered within their household the quiet strength of knowledge, which reshaped her life as both worker and student. In the 13th century, Fatima, a captive of the Mongol Empire, the most powerful empire on earth, was taken prisoner and assigned to serve in the imperial palace. With knowledge from Iran, the era's foremost experts on medicine and science, Fatima seeks a world in which she can display her talents.
