Expanding the Dusk Beyond the End of the World Universe
The newly announced cast members join previously confirmed main voice actors. Shūichirō Umeda will star as Akira Himegami, while Yui Ishikawa will voice Yugure. Other established cast members include Ai Kayano as Towasa Ōmaki and Miyu Tomita as Amoru. This latest announcement comes after an earlier reveal of four additional cast members in early September, which included Miyuki Sawashiro as Yoiyami, Tomori Kusunoki as Hakubo, Toshiyuki Morikawa as Oboro, and Yōhei Azakami as Yokurata. The continuous unveiling of a robust cast signals a significant narrative scope for the series.
A Glimpse into the Anime’s Premise and Production
Dusk Beyond the End of the World is an original television anime series produced by P.A.WORKS, celebrating its 25th anniversary. The story centers on Akira Himegami, a high school student who awakens 200 years in the future after being in cold sleep. He finds a world reshaped by war, now governed by a new organization called OWEL, where a system named “Elsie” has replaced traditional marriage. Akira encounters Yugure, an android strikingly similar to his girlfriend, Towasa, who proposes marriage to him. Believing Towasa still exists, Akira embarks on a journey with Yugure to find her.
Naokatsu Tsuda (known for directing Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders) is at the helm as director and also handles the series scripts. Midori Tayama is credited with the original character designs, which are then adapted for animation by Yoshiko Saitō. Masahiro Tokuda is composing the music for the series.
Premiere Details and Streaming Availability
The anime is scheduled to broadcast an “Episode 0,” a prologue story, on September 25, 2025, in Japan. The first official episode will then air on October 2, 2025. For international audiences, HIDIVE will be exclusively streaming Dusk Beyond the End of the World as it airs, ensuring fans worldwide can follow Akira’s journey in this new, complex world. Uru will perform the opening theme song, “Platform,” with Hana Hope performing the ending theme, “Two of Us.”
