Note that the anime will be aired at the end of next month. This review is on the preview of episode 1 ^_^
Sorry as there isn't any screen shot as I couldn't figure out how to do it (u can call me a newbie or whatever u want but i don't know how to take screen shots from streaming sites..)



Kioku (memory)

Opening theme is a narration in which the narrator mentioned that people only use 70% of their mind but the remainder 30% is not used and has a mysterious power called Night Head Genesis

The story starts at the time when Naoya was born. He always kept crying because he already "knew" of their future (from himself and his elder bro)

One year later, their parents was suddenly called by the school due to an "accident" in which Naoto injured a boy called Matsumoto. He was then feared by the other children in school. So his father told him that it is alright if he doesn't want to go to the school.

Another rainy day in the street, naoto as always defended naoya using his power. Their father asked why Naoya has been acting weird and Naoto has strange powers that makes things explode.
Naoto answered that Naoya has the ability to read people's feelings but because of that, he's afraid of knowing things he doesn't want to know. Their father answered that it's impossible for Naoya not to be in contact with people.

On the same day in the house, their mother was washing the dishes and their father was doing something at the table while Naoya was sitting alone on the couch and Naoya was playing a game.
Then, their father gave them some drinks and both Naoto and Naoya is unaware of the drugs in the drinks. Their father sat at the couch and insisted they have cakes as well. Naoya had suspected something but he didn't say anything. As Naoto drank the melon soda, Naoya realised that there was drugs in them but again, he didn't say anything.

After that, some people came to the house to take both Naoya and Naoto away. Their mother was feeling bad because as the car was about to go, she asked them to wait and started to cry because she didn't want them to leave. Even their father was feeling bad about it but he said that it was for the best.
Naoto woke up and first saw his mother crying ang turned around to see that Naoya was sleeping. Naoto didn't want to go and started to scream (and yeah again he used his power). One of the men who came to take them away put Naoya to sleep.
Naoya narrated that as he is sleeping, he ran away into the depths of his dreams as he was sad and afraid when the incident occurred. He could hear his mother's cry and asking them for forgiveness.

The next day, Naoya woke up in a room with medical equipments/machines attached to his head checking his brain activities and blood is being transfused into him. There wasn't anyone in the bed next to his and suddenly he heard crashing sounds that woke him up.
In a cafeteria, people were eating and watching the weather report on TV when suddenly Naoto entered the cafeteria and started asking people if they were the ones who brought them to that place.
Again, he used his powers and destroyed everything . At that moment, Naoya arrived and was afraid of his elder brother's doings but called out to him.
Naoto stopped and Naoya hugged Naoto. Naoya read Naoto's feelings and understands the meaning of "fear" as they have been abandoned by their parents and now the only thing that they can do is to take care of each other.

Then, Naoto started to destroy everything again and a doctor appeared at that moment. Telling Naoto to stop and listen to what he has to say.
The doctor told him that they cannot go back home. But he will be their new father and they need to stay there and live with him. Then, they had lunch with the doctor somewhere outside of the cafeteria. In the middle of lunch, Naoto told the doctor that they will go back home and ran away.

They were running in the forest and found a weird tree. Naoto cannot get pass the tree due to kekkai placed on that tree.
Then, they sat on top of a tree and Naoto started to cry. Naoya released his hold of his elder brother who was crying, and just looked at him. Naoto stopped crying and told Naoya that he shouldn't cry as it is bad to do so. He added that he will do everything he can to get him out of that place. Suddenly, a woman appeared and offered them some food and warm tea but, Naoto suspected her and asked if there was drug in the tea. The woman answered they were only warm tea as it is currently very cold.

15 years later in Tokyo, a girl named Shouko is in a library and there was another girl, Miki looking for her. Shouko told Miki not to go on a trip because an accident will happen during the trip. Miki did as what Shouko said and eventually her life was saved by Shouko. Shouko was reading a book with weird symbols/texts in it. Shouko said to Miki that Mizaki Ryouchi had passed away thus the kekkai will break down and the brothers will run away tonight.

That very night, Naota and Naoya are running through the forest and arrived again at the trees that they were unable to pass through before when they were younger. Naota ran through the kekkai and insisted that Naoya follow his lead.
When both of them passed through the kekkai, Naota took a car (...when did he learned to drive btw?) but Naoya was a little scared of what lies ahead of them in the outside world.(....) At a road on a mountain, they have a flat tyre. They got out of the car and Naoto was looking at the problem they had. Naoya told him that there is a restaurant nearby and they should go there. *and his brother was like if he wasen't the one who didn't wanted to run away <-- not sure what this line means but i'll just write how i interprete it after this*
Naoto wasn't sure of Naoya's idea as he wasn't the one who didn't want to run away in the first place and they're currently running away and going to a restaurant after running away doesn't seem to be a good idea. *well, that's how I interpret it XD *
Naoya told his elder brother that he is hungry and it would be better if Naota had some rest,

They arrived at the restaurant and when they opened the doors to the restaurant, the people at there look weird and Naoya thought that the minasu power (dunno what it means) will be out once they ran away from the lab.
