The back cover artwork for the June 4th release of Dusk Maiden of Amnesia has surfaced and it’s been revealed that Christopher Ayers will be handling the ADR direction duties for the series. Ayres has handled a number of high profile titles for Sentai Filmworks recently, including the upcoming movie release of Colorful. Dusk Maiden of Amnesia comes from the manga of the same name by Maybe which began back in 2009 and is still ongoing after eight collected volumes. The anime series aired in the spring of 2012 with animation by studio Silver Link.
Plot concept: Sixty years ago, a young woman was left to die in the abandoned school building behind the exclusive Seikyou Academy. No one knows why, no one knows how; but the horrifying tale and the legends of the ghostly haunting that followed live on to this day. Perhaps it’s not so surprising then, that among Seikyou’s many school clubs is one for students interested in “paranormal investigations.” What might raise more than a few hairs, however, is that the founder of the club is the ghost herself.
Unable to remember how she died and trapped in the grey land between life and death, Yuko latches onto Teiichi Niiya, a freshman who can inexplicably see her. Together they and the other unsuspecting members of the club begin to unravel the many dark mysteries that surround Seikyou. Will unlocking the secret of Yuko’s gruesome death finally free her? Or will her sudden close association with a mortal have even stranger repercussions on both of their existences?
