Good Night World is a unique take on what can typically be a tired trope. It goes to great lengths to serve up something much different, and in a fun and raucous way that doesn’t give up the ghost until the last minute. Go to Full Review Mariló Delgado Espinof 10/19/2023
2/5
The set-up is very promising, but Good Night World drags on quickly and the jumps in and out of the game don't quite engage you in one story or another. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Jeremy Looney Common Sense Media 10/18/2023
3/5
Good Night World is at its most interesting when its characters are not in the virtual fantasy world but in the real world. Go to Full Review Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community 10/13/2023
7.5/10
Good Night World gets lost in the weeds of the story more than a few times, but its overall theme is one that benefits the genre of anime it sits in. Sure, the series may buckle under its ambition, but its journey can resonate with anyone... Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ahmed H 03/01/2024 This show creates an interesting storyline, and when you think it's hit it's peak in excitement, it follows up on it every episode. I really enjoyed this anime. See more Ayan 02/08/2024 The ending is so sad 🥺, I enjoyed watching it and it's awesome 👍🏻. See more Vitezslav K @vkrejci 01/26/2024 A few episodes in, it starts to get interesting, but ultimately, it's really good." See more Holly S 12/27/2023 A premissa é interessante, mas é tão mal contado, mal animado. triste See more inski 10/19/2023 This anime made me cry. It's alright, but i feel like it was a mix of... Around 4 different topics. It felt like the show was cut in 3 different sections, each of them not having much to do with each other. (Or it felt like the genre changed in between the episodes.) It was still alright, but definitely there weren't enough episodes for the amount of plot that it had. It's an alright anime to watch with one sitting, because it still does explore a dysfunctional family which might lead some watchers to relate or cry or something. This is *not* an isekai anime, by the way. Other than that, the animation, OST, VA's and other stuff was alrighty, likable, good. Though definitely, this anime had so many different things smashed in it for which there just wasn't enough tim to explore or digest. See more LABEL 2 10/14/2023 企划方的水平实在有限，作品的仓促感都溢出屏幕了。12集的篇幅里塞入了过量的内容，对核心议题"虚拟与现实的关系"的剖析虎头蛇尾，其他议题的讨论也浅尝辄止。在人类社会已来到元宇宙前夜的当下，如此缺乏新意的故事还能被立项动画化，真是令人疑惑。 See more Read all reviews
