Good Night World 2023 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

If there is one narrative genre that has explored the nuances of technology and its impact on society long before it was popular, it is Japanese anime. From Akira to Ghost in the Shell, anime films and television series have influenced American directors and provided inspiration for modern classics like The Matrix. Netflix is well aware of that, and that's certainly one of the main reasons why the streamer is introducing the new Good Night World anime series to its slate of animated features.

As the trailer makes clear, Good Night World's story primarily takes place within an online game called "Planet." In it, a player can form a family or clan that will fight together against other guilds. However, the game's family members, on whom the story focuses, are unaware that they are actually members of a broken family home in real life, which will bring its own set of problems when they inevitably find out. . While this does not happen, they focus (or are asked to focus) on “Black Bird”, the final objective of the game that only reveals its contents once found.

Stars: Daisuke Hirose, Nobunaga Shimazaki, Akio Ôtsuka

On the other hand, the Good Night World trailer also shows that, in the story, the game exists as a desperate escape from reality for a large group of people. A shadowy world with limited human interactions is revealed at the end, and it has the cold, distant feel of other anime stories like PSYCHO-PASS. Good Night World also feels like a cross between Black Mirror and Alice in Borderland, with technology shown at its worst, while the game offers some hope to people who just need to forget about real life for as long as possible.

Good Night World is based on a manga series released in 2015 and created by author and illustrator Uru Okabe. In a short print run, the story was compiled into five tankōbon volumes, a common practice for Japanese manga stories, which are initially published in serialized format in specialized magazines. The adaptation was announced by Netflix in early 2023.

Netflix releases Good Night World on October 12.

But it's a long shot: Will they become a "Borderlands" movie flop or a "Last of Us" hit? Next month, Legendary Entertainment, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Microsoft are going for box office gold with a different kind of game-to-movie adaptation: "A Minecraft Movie."

The Hunting Wives 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Netflix has become a haven for shows about small towns rocked by crime. Last week, we premiered Untamed, where the residents of a town in Yosemite National Park became embroiled in a murder mystery after a girl fell from El Capitan. The show dealt heavily with grief, suicidal tendencies, abusive men, and the colonialists' negative feelings toward the Indigenous community. The Glass Dome told the story of a criminal psychologist who returned to her hometown to attend her stepmother's funeral and found herself involved in investigating a series of murders seemingly connected to her past. Hound's Hill centered on a Polish author who returned to his hometown to come to terms with a crime he may have committed, only to discover that a serial killer is on the loose, killing the perpetrators—and his name could be next on the list. So, yes, when I watched The Hunting Wives, I completely understood why Netflix bought the rights to this show. What confuses me is, who is this series ...
