Good Night World (ONA)

Source: Manga (completed @ 5 volumes, by Uru Okabe)

Demographic: Shounen

Animation Studio: NAZ

Genres: comedy, drama, fantasy

Themes: family, gaming, virtual world

Plot Summary: In the online game "Planet," there is a powerful team of four players. This team goes by the name "The Akabane Family," and its members are a pseudo-family that only exists in the game. Although they aren't aware of it, these four players are actually a broken family in real life.

A shut-in older brother. A high-achieving younger brother. A father who is not respected by his own children. A mother who neglects her own household. They do not know the warmth of family. They also don't know that the warmth of their online family is only a passing feeling. And most of all, they don't know they are a real family.

Centered on the deeds of the Akabane Family in the online game "Planet," the story features battles against monsters, clashes with other guilds, and the machinations surrounding "Black Bird," the final objective of the game. The tale takes a major turn as it entangles the real world and this real family.

Air Date & Platform:
October 12, 2023 (Thursday)
Available on: Netflix

Episode Count / Runtime: Pending
----------------------------------

Could potentially be neat if the dual lives of the family start to affect the other. Like, they suck in the real world, but the game makes them better (or vice versa). And if that virtual fantasy world is deep enough and well-built, it could just be a good enough standalone element for that. This also makes two Netflix anime this season that star Akio Ohtsuka (the other being Onimusha).
