HOUSTON— They should never have met. They shouldn’t even exist. But the entire world will change when they come together in Sentai Filmworks’ newest acquisition, Beyond the Boundary (Kyōkai no Kanata). This 12 episode series from the acclaimed Kyoto Animation studio is directed by Taichi Ishidate and features character designs by Miku Kadowaki with series composition by Jukki Hanada (Campione!) and music by Hikaru Nanase (Hiiro no Kakera ~ The Tamayori Princess Saga).

The last surviving member of her clan, Mirai Kuriyama is cursed with the terrifying ability to control and manipulate blood, a power so heretical that she is shunned even by those with the ability to understand her “gift”. Akihito Kanbara is only half human, but while the monstrous other half of his lineage seems to have doomed him to a life alone, it has also given him near invulnerability in the form of rapid healing. Alone their future seems bleak, but when a chance encounter brings them together, it becomes clear that they share more than just an unexpected bond. Together they share a destiny and a mission that only the two of them together may be strong enough to survive. Beyond the world that we know, in a realm where nightmares are real and legends walk, their future awaits BEYOND THE BOUNDARY.

Beyond the Boundary will be available soon through select digital outlets with a home video release to follow in 2014.
