Story and setting

"Beyond the Boundary" tells the story of a "half-demon" girl, Kuriyama Mirai, who fights against beings called "Youmu" that appear from another world, and a "powerless" boy, Shindo Ernest Fairhaven, who helps her. The TV series begins with their first meeting and depicts their gradually deepening bond and battle. "-I'LL BE HERE- Past Chapter" depicts the story that follows, focusing on Mirai and Ernest's past.

The film depicts the world after Mirai has erased Ernesto's memories. Ernesto has forgotten about his encounter with Mirai and lives an ordinary life. However, Mirai struggles to restore Ernesto's memories, putting the bond between the two to the test. This setting evokes deep emotion and empathy in the viewers.

Characters and acting

The main character of this work, Kuriyama Mirai, is played by voice actress Taneda Risa. Taneda's acting beautifully expresses Mirai's strength and fragility, as well as her deep love for Ernesto. Meanwhile, Uchiyama Kouki, who plays Ernesto, also realistically portrays his confusion after losing his memory and the gradual return of his feelings for Mirai.

The supporting characters are also fascinating. The personalities of each character are well-drawn, such as Nao Toyama as Kaede Ninomiya, a friend of the future, and Toshiyuki Toyonaga as Sakuya Miwa, a friend of Ernest. These characters add excitement to the story and leave a deep impression on the viewer.

The scenes where Mirai and Ernesto meet, fight, and the moment when their bond deepens are depicted in colorful animation. In particular, the scene where Mirai struggles to restore Ernesto's memories is visually stunning and moving.

The music also adds to the appeal of this work. The background music, created by composer Satoru Kanzaki, stirs emotions as the story unfolds. In particular, the theme song, which symbolizes the bond between Mirai and Ernesto, resonates deeply with viewers.
