Beyond the Boundary is a 2013 supernatural Japanese anime series based on the light novels written by Nagomu Torii and illustrated by Chise Kamoi.[1] One day high-school student Akihito Kanbara instinctively goes to save his fellow schoolmate, Mirai Kuriyama who he thinks is committing suicide. However Mirai stabs Akihito with a sword made of her own blood and discovers that Akihito is an immortal "half-youmu"—the offspring of a supernatural creature called a youmu and a human. After learning that Mirai is a Spirit World Warrior and lacks the confidence to slay youmu, the two form an unlikely pair when Akihito decides to help her regain her confidence to kill youmu so that she may stop attempting to kill him as practice.[2]

The twelve episode anime was produced by Kyoto Animation, directed by Taichi Ishidate and written by Jukki Hanada, with character designs by Miku Kadowaki, art direction by Mikiko Watanabe, sound direction by Yota Tsuruoka and soundtrack music by Hikaru Nanase.[3][4] The series premiered on Tokyo MX between October 2 and December 18, 2013, and later aired on ABC, TVA, BS11 and Animax along with online streaming on TBS On Demand and Niconico.[5] Crunchyroll simulcasted the series with English subtitles in North America.[6] An original video animation episode was later released on July 2, 2014.[7] Pony Canyon released the series in Japan on seven Blu-ray and DVD volumes between January 8[8] and July 2, 2014.[9] The anime was licensed by Sentai Filmworks in North America.[10] Hanabee Entertainment later licensed the series for a digital release in Australia.[11]

An original net animation titled Beyond the Boundary Idol Trial! was released on YouTube between November 18 and December 16, 2013.[12] The mini-series follows super deformed versions of Mitsuki, Mirai, Sakura, and Ai as they put wrong-doers on trial and sentence them following an idol stage performance.[13]

The opening theme is "Kyōkai no Kanata" (境界の彼方, "Beyond the Boundary") by Minori Chihara and ending theme is "Daisy" by Stereo Dive Foundation.[14] "Yakusoku no Kizuna" (約束の絆, "Bonds of Promises") performed by Mirai Kuriyama (Risa Taneda), Mitsuki Nase (Minori Chihara) and Ai Shindō (Yuri Yamaoka) is used as the Insert Song of episode six. The ending theme of the ONA is "Popī no Kaeri Michi" (ポピーの帰り道, "The Road Home Filled With Poppies") by Yuri Yamaoka,[15] while "Judgment Ja!" (Judgmentじゃ!) performed by Ai Shindō (Yuri Yamaoka), Mirai Kuriyama (Risa Taneda), Mitsuki Nase (Minori Chihara) and Sakura Inami (Moe Toyata) is used as the insert song for all ONA episodes.
