posted on by Joanna Cayanan
The official website for P.A. Works' new original television anime series Dusk Beyond the End of the World (Towa no Yugure) revealed four new cast members on Thursday:
HIDIVE will exclusively stream the anime, and screened the world premiere of the anime's first two episodes at this year's Anime NYC event on August 24.
The story centers on male high school student Akira, who went into cold sleep and woke up 200 years later to a world that was ravaged by war. A new unified organization called OWEL leads people, and a new system called "Elsie" (or "LC") has now taken the place of marriage. Appearing before Akira after he wakes is an android named Yugure, who looks strikingly similar to his girlfriend Towasa. Yugure immediately proposes marriage to a baffled Akira. Akira then decides to go on a journey with Yugure, as he believes Towasa must still exist in this world.
The anime stars (character last name romanizations are not official):
- Shūichirō Umeda as Akira Himegami
- Yui Ishikawa as Yugure
- Ai Kayano as Towasa Ōmaki
- Miyu Tomita as Amoru
"Project FT" is credited for the original work. Naokatsu Tsuda (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, planetarian, The Darwin Incident) is directing the anime at P.A. Works, and is also overseeing the series scripts. Manga creator Midori Tayama (Girl Crush) is the original character designer, and Yoshiko Saitō (Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation II) is adapting those designs for animation. Masahiro Tokuda (Ishura, Platinum End) is composing the music. Uru performs the opening theme song "Platform."
