GAGA's First Anime Project - Night Head Genesis Date: 5/9/2006 |
Gaga Communications Ltd. of Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo has announced their first ever foray into animation production with the upcoming film, Night Head Gensis. Their movie production section started up in full scale from 2005. Based on the original story by Joji Lida, NIGHT HEAD was an highly acclaimed late night SFX/Sci-Fi TV drama which ran for 21 episodes between 1992-93. Broadcasting at midnight on Fuji Television, the show developed a cult following and was one of pioneers of late night niche programming, this has led to the popularity of so many late night anime and TV dramas today. A movie, novel, manga, and video game spinoffs were produced back to back. The strong fan following made GAGA select the work for revival in animation, they hope to leverage the brand power of the content to put forth an eminently perfect and pure SF work. Beyond Japan's core fan-base, GAGA is aiming at a worldwide rollout for the film. Production funds are coming from the "Integrated Contents Fund" of USEN and The Daiwa Securities SMBC Group jointly established last year. Official Website: www.nighthead-genesis.jp |
