These actors join a previously announced cast, including Shūichirō Umeda as Akira Himegami and Yui Ishikawa as Yugure, who lead the sci-fi series.
A Glimpse into Dusk Beyond the End of the World‘s Premise
Dusk Beyond the End of the World is an original anime from Studio P.A. Works, produced to commemorate its 25th anniversary. The story plunges viewers into a future approximately 200 years after a devastating war, where humanity is governed by a new organization called OWEL. Traditional marriage has been replaced by a system known as “Elsie” (or “LC”).
The narrative centers on Akira Himegami, a high school student who awakens from cryogenic sleep to this drastically altered world. He encounters an android named Yugure, who strikingly resembles his former girlfriend, Towasa Ōmaki. Yugure immediately proposes marriage to Akira, who, despite his confusion, embarks on a journey with her, convinced that Towasa may still be alive in this new reality. The series explores themes of love and relationships in a world where technology has fundamentally reshaped society, including connections between humans and androids.
