ACF 1447: Sentai Filmworks licenses DUSK MAIDEN OF AMNESIA

Join Sentai Filmworks for a mystery that must be solved from beyond the grave as they announce the North American licensing of Dusk maiden of Amnesia.  Director Shin Oonuma (ef ~ a tale of memories, ef ~ a tale of melodies) and character designer Yukiko Ban (.hack//SIGN) bring original creator Maybe’s tale of death and haunting to life.

Synopsis: 60 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, Yūko latches onto Teiichi Niiya, a freshman who can inexplicably see her, and 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 Yūko’s gruesome death finally free her?  Or will her sudden close association with a mortal have even stranger repercussions on both of their existences?  In a tomb of silent classrooms, the answers await in Dusk maiden of Amnesia.

Dusk maiden of Amnesia will begin release through select digital outlets soon with a home video release to follow.
