Synopsis: The Asylum Session’s story follows the trials and coming-of-age of teenaged boys and girls in the distant future. In this era, the development of civilization has stopped and even declined. Hiyoko is a runaway girl who goes to live in tents with other people at a stadium nicknamed “Asylum.” There, she meets Akira, a leader of a band of street children. Profiteering police want to tear down the stadium, so its denizens create a street culture event called “The Asylum Session” to counter those plans.

After a career in music, Aoki worked on Catblue: Dynamite and then debuted his first 3D computer-animated anime short, “Haruo,” in 2005. Voice actress Aya Hirano (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star) will play Hiyoko, while stage actor Masakazu Nemoto (Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time stage play) will play Akira.
