    Give it more than three episodes.

    "Good Night World" didn't really convince me in its first few episodes, which is why I was ready to stop watching after the third episode - but I'm glad I didn't.

    Because although the anime seems a bit boring at first and has no recognition value, it picks up speed after the first hour and tells a story that is peppered with sadness, mistrust, fear, solidarity, etc.

    Visually, the anime is also impressive, as the animations and character designs are very impressive in some places.

    "Good Night World" was definitely a surprise hit for me personally. I would suggest looking past the first hour of almost pure world-building.

    Between fun and message

    Good night World deal with the open world RPG and dark life of geek and destroyed family. It takes time to raise the main question and develop the story, but when we had reached the first 4 episodes, it becomes clearest and deal with the bad relation to video game, numeric life and family troubles.

    Between « Sword Art Online » and « Parasite: The Maxim », this anime mix MMORPG, deep questioning, action and blood. The in-game part is a bit less developed and let us with a feeling of « cheap » MMORPG world anime, but tend to make a perfect mix in the middle of the show.

    Finally, I really appreciated the show, I had watched the last 7 episodes almost in a raw because a I was caught by the action and the story. I would really recommend this show to the fan of anime in a numeric world, who likes action, blood and deep sentimental character.

    "Good night, world" - the anime That Pleasantly Surprised

    "Good night, world", was a delightful discovery for me. From the first episode, the storyline captured my interest, and I found myself fond of the characters. Each character is unique and intriguing in their own way. This anime will especially resonate with fans of online MMORPGs, especially those familiar with Lineage 2.

    "Good night, world" portrays intriguing family relationships and how people escape from the harsh reality of our world into the realm of an online game. It clearly shows that in the game, everyone finds something for themselves. Some grow flowers, some help others, some eliminate other players, while others form a guild of pirates and gather like-minded individuals. Anyone who watches this anime will find their own prototype.

    I highly recommend it for viewing. 10/10!

    Not my thing

    I would definitely classify this as a horror anime and I did not know that going into it. It started off strong and I kept watching, but as things didn't really go well and bring good character development, I grew tired of it.

    Generally, I don't do well with horrors. Not because I have a problem with them persay, but I'm too sensitive to spiritual things, so it freaks me out quite easily. Not scare, freak out - very different.

    Initially, there were elements that suggested it might go that way, but when the show gets about halfway, you are introduced to the main antagonist or goal for most of the characters and that's where it gets super creepy, gross, gory and somewhat suggestively explicit. I DO NOT recommend this show and will not be finishing it. It feels straight up demonic - and I love anime, so don't take it like some anti-anime thing - it legit feels off. SAO was way better!

    Solid anime

    The reviews for this anime are too low in my opinion. As the most helpful review (current at the time of writing) points out the show doesn't really have something to say, but I'm not convinced this is a flaw of the show. In some ways, it felt like a more realistic take on this kind of sci-fi future a lot of shows try to make some critique or point about what would happen with futuristic technology, but realistically, these things are pretty much impossible to predict. Instead, the show focuses on great plot and family turmoil, and uses great sci-fi to do so.

    The show is definitely quite cerebral in its plot, despite not making a point, but it definitely gets you thinking, if you're more philosophical in nature.
