posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
The official website for P.A. Works' new original television anime series Dusk Beyond the End of the World (Towa no Yugure) revealed the anime's second promotional video on Thursday. The video reveals and previews Hana Hope's ending theme song "Two Of Us."
The anime will stream on more than 20 services in Japan starting on September 25 at 24:56 (effectively September 26 at 12:56 a.m.).
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.

- Shūichirō Umeda as Akira Himegami
