About Dusk Maiden of Amnesia

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia (黄昏乙女×アムネジア) blends horror, mystery and romance by SILVER LINK. (2012). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: 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.

More of the story: Perhaps it's not so surprising then, that among Seikyou's many school clubs is one for pupils 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, Yuuko latches onto Teiichi Niiya, a freshman who can inexplicably see her.

With horror at the core, atmosphere, sound and restraint do the heavy lifting. Yuuko Kanoe (Yumi Hara) and Teiichi Niiya (Tsubasa Yonaga) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers comfortable with dark, unsettling material. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
