The Fall 2025 anime season is packed with big titles.
But honestly? My eyes are locked on just one.
That’s Dusk Beyond the End of the World (Towa no Yūgure).
It’s P.A. Works’ 25th anniversary project, and the moment I read the synopsis, I knew—this is my kind of show.
Waking Up in a World of Eternal Dusk
The story begins with Akira Himegami waking up from cryogenic sleep.
Not just a few years later—two hundred years later.
The world he knew is gone, replaced by a strange new reality under the control of an organization called Owel.
And then comes the curveball: Akira meets an android named Yayugure… who immediately proposes marriage.
One problem—Akira’s heart belongs to someone else.
Her name is Towa, and he’s convinced she’s still alive.
With Yayugure tagging along, Akira sets out on a journey across a crumbling, twilight-lit world to find her.
P.A. Works × Naokatsu Tsuda
If you know P.A. Works, you know what to expect: breathtaking backgrounds, emotional storytelling, and cinematic lighting.
Director Naokatsu Tsuda (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) is at the helm, with character designs by Midori Tayama (concept) and Yoshiko Saito (animation design).
The music is by Masahiro Tokuda (Deca-Dence, ID:INVADED).
In short? This staff lineup screams quality.
Why International Fans Should Be Excited
- Visual Mastery – Sunset tones, painterly backgrounds, and light effects worthy of a feature film.
- Universal Themes – Love, loss, and hope—emotions that cross cultural borders.
- The Journey – A classic “search for the one you love” story, layered with the human–android relationship dynamic.
If you loved Blade Runner or The Shape of Water, you’ll probably find something to fall for here.
Music – Still Under Wraps
As of August 2025, the OP and ED themes haven’t been revealed.
But here’s the thing—P.A. Works is known for matching their visuals with emotionally powerful music.
Will it be soft piano and strings to pull at the heartstrings? Or an epic orchestral score to amplify the adventure?
Either way, expect social media to light up when the announcement drops.

This Fall, Step Into the Twilight
Dusk Beyond the End of the World isn’t just another sci-fi romance.
It’s a story about holding on to love in a fading world—and about the fragile, beautiful moments that make life worth living.
And with P.A. Works bringing their signature visual magic, it’s hard not to get excited.
