Head for the stars with Sentai Filmworks latest acquisition: Chuya Koyama’s SPACE BROTHERS (????, Uchuu Kyoodai, 2012)! Featuring direction by Ayumu Watanabe (MYSTERIOUS GIRLFRIEND X), character designs by Koji Yabuno (NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: BLOOD PRISON) and music by Toshiyuki Watanabe (THE DEVIL LADY), this series certainly has the right stuff to blast off! Mutta’s life has hit rock bottom. He’s been fired, blackballed from his profession and now he’s had to move back in with his parents. Meanwhile, his kid brother Hibito has been literally riding a rocket and training to be an astronaut. The same career Mutta once dreamed of. So, is it ever too late to go after your dreams? Through a little coercing and a bit of covert activity, Mutta’s family and friends can get his resume on the right desk, but from that point on it will be up to Mutta himself. Does he have what it takes to turn his life around and put his footprint on the moon? The first step on the highway to the stars is always the hardest, and in a job where crash and burn isn’t just a euphemism, it will be the biggest risk Mutta’s ever taken. But with the best support team ever, maybe he’ll find what he needs to rekindle the spark inside him and light the biggest candle of them all! Get ready to blast off into the most magnificent tomorrow ever in SPACE BROTHERS! SPACE BROTHERS will begin release through select digital outlets soon with a home video release to follow.
