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.)

Okay, sure, Gundam 00 is going to feature 3 males and 1 slightly butch female when it comes to pilots. And sure, the characters are being designed by Yun Kouga, creator of girly-boy manga like Loveless and Earthian– but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know how to make a hot chick, and it certainly doesn’t mean we won’t see some smexy figures from the show. Heisei Democracy links to the first-ever Gundam 00 heroine figures (models of the Gundams, of course, have been in the works for ages), made by Banpresto and due out February of 2008.

The figures are of the overly-skinny Wan Ryuumin and Sumeragi Ri Noriega.
