Coming in hot off the press today, Netflix revealed its newest anime series that will begin streaming October 12! The anime adaptation of Uru Okabe's manga series Good Night World will showcase a dysfunctional pseudo-family within a game, but unbeknownst to them, outside of the game they really are related. It seems like the series should be a big hit for Netflix viewers everywhere!
Not familiar with the story of Good Night World? Netflix describes the anime below in even more detail:
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.
