When I first read the synopsis of Night Head 2041 I wondered why it sounded kind of familiar. Turns out there was an anime from 2006, Night Head Genesis, that I may have watched some or all of at some point. Clearly it left an impression given I barely remembered it. Anyway, how are the first three episodes of this 2021 anime, Night Head 2041?
