NIGHT HEAD" was dramatized for TV in 1992 and became a cult classic that captured the hearts of many people.
The story of brothers Naoto and Naoya Kirihara, who suffer because of their supernatural powers, attracted many fans, not only science fiction fans.
Now, 30 years later, the story has been revived as "NIGHT HEAD 2041," an original TV animation based on a script by Joji Iida, the original author who also directed the TV drama.
In addition to the Kirihara brothers who appeared in the TV drama version, another pair of brothers, the Kuroki brothers, who are hunting them down, appear in the new "NIGHT HEAD" story.

Production is by Shirogumi, which has produced numerous video works, from live-action films using VFX to animated TV series.
Takamitsu Hirakawa, who worked as CG director on "Utetama" and "revisions," makes his directorial debut with this film.
The character design is by Korehito Oogure, who has written numerous popular serials including "Air Gear," "Tenjo Tenga," and "Bakemonogatari," and draws beautiful and delicate characters.

Naoto and Naoya Kirihara are "brothers on the run" who are persecuted by the world because of their supernatural abilities.
The "brothers" Takuya and Yuya Kuroki are "chasing" those with abilities as members of the National Security Forces.

Two pairs of brothers at each other's mercy.
They should never have met...
