If you’re looking for a series with a bunch of attractive people (particularly guys) designed by a prominent yaoi mangaka and don’t want to watch Gundam 00*, good news! Anime on DVD reports that Media Blasters has licensed Night Head Genesis, which is about a pair of brothers with psychic powers and, uh…some other things.
…I can’t say I recommend the show. I watched the first five or six episodes and had no idea what was going on (in the bad way), and the two brothers just sat around (or ran around) and bitched a lot. They were very very pretty though. It’s actually a retelling of a live-action series called Night Head that I never saw. But yeah, I thought the show was impressively mediocre, personally.
But if you like supernatural mysteries and hot guys, well…maybe you’ll like it better than I did?
(* Yes, I know that most of Gundam 00 character designer Yun Kouga’s work isn’t officially “yaoi,” but she HAS done yaoi doujinshi and clearly aims for that market with many of her mainstream work, so nyah. The yaoi mangaka who designed the characters of Night Head Genesis is You Higuri, of Gakuen Heaven / Gorgeous Carat fame.)
