P.A. Works Reveals Original TV Anime Towa no Yugure for October Debut
Shūichirō Umeda, Yui Ishikawa, Ai Kayano star in anime where boy wakes from 200-year cold sleep to android proposing marriage
On Friday, it was announced by both P.A. Works and MBS that they are collaborating on a new original television anime series called Towa no Yugure. This series will debut in October and will be broadcasted during the "Super Animeism Turbo" programming block on both MBS and TBS.
Project FT has been attributed as the source of the original content. Naokatsu Tsuda (known for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, planetarian, and The Darwin Incident) is directing the anime at P.A. Works while also overseeing the series scripts. Midori Tayama (creator of Girl Crush) designed the original characters, while Yoshiko Saitō (known for Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible and Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation II) adapted those designs for animation. Masahiro Tokuda (composer of Ishura and Platinum End) is responsible for composing the music for this project.
The anime will star (from left to right in above image, character last name romanizations are not official):
- Shūichirō Umeda as Akira Himegami
- Yui Ishikawa as Yugure
- Ai Kayano as Towasa Ōmaki
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.
After Akira awakens, an android called Yugure appears in front of him, who closely resembles his girlfriend Towasa. Immediately, Yugure proposes marriage to Akira, leaving him bewildered. Despite his confusion, Akira decides to embark on a journey with Yugure because he believes Towasa is still present in this world.
