Good Night World is a Japanese anime series released on Netflix starring Daisuke Hirose, Nobunaga Shimazaki, and Akio Otsuka among others.
There are two worlds: the virtual one, where you can be a hero and live virtual adventures, form clans, and take on any role you want; and the real one, where everything is gloomy and dark, and reality, as our protagonist describes it, is crappy.
“Good Night World” is a Japanese animated series that plays with this idea and, with humor and sometimes dark undertones, takes us from one world to another in the story of a boy who lives for video games, abandoning real life for the virtual world, where he feels comfortable and fulfilled.
It is a series that starts in the realm of the virtual to take us through more personal and human stories, approaching the characters in a convincing way, in an original and, surprisingly, realistic and well-executed story. An opportunity for lovers of Japanese manga to enjoy another interesting proposal from Netflix.
Enjoy it.
